I used size 5 needles with Lorna Laces worsted 100% merino superwash yarn. I cast on 106 stitches and then increased to 126 stitches. The moose pattern was in sections of 18 stitches. The hat was a large man’s sized hat. I washed it with eucalyn and then dried it in the drier to make more of a fuzzy look to it. The pattern is free on ravelry at http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/moose-fair-isle-hat
