Using a 10mm hook with 3 strands of yarn held together makes this hat super thick and fast. Use the larger hook for the body of the hat and the smaller hook for the band for all sizes! The hat is reversible, both the right and the wrong side has a nice textured pattern. The hat is worked from top down.
Note: if you are using a thicker worsted weight yarn, you can use only two strands.
