Where’s me jumpah? What more needs to be said? Let’s take it to the next level; every fan needs this hat. I seriously was pining away after his hat during the whole series so I definitely needed to make a tribute. This pattern can be worked a variety of ways; the written instructions are for a traditional, snug fitting hat as seen in the show. You can also opt to bump up 2 sizes to make a slouch hat, as seen in the sample!

Sizes: Extra Small (Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, Extra-Extra Large) to fit a head circumference of 19” (20”, 21 ½”, 22 ¼”, 23 ½”, 24 ½”)/ 48 (51, 54.5, 56.5, 59.5, 62) cm.

Yarn: DK weight yarn in the following amounts:
Red: Approximately 100 (120, 130, 140, 150, 160) yards/ 90 (110, 120, 130, 140, 150) meters.
White: Approximately 50 (55, 60, 65, 70, 75) yards/ 45 (50, 55, 60, 65, 70) meters.
Black: Approximately 40 (45, 50, 55, 60) yards/ 35 (40, 45, 50, 55, 60) meters.
White roving for pompom (optional, can use white yarn instead if preferred. Yardage for a white pompom is included in the yarn estimate.)

Techniques: Knitting in the round, chart reading, basic Fair Isle, making thrums (optional) and pompom making.
