GAUGE:

16 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st worked in the rnd (k every rnd). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Chance of Flurries Hat Reviewed by Jill Williams on 2010-01-21 ****
I've just finished this hat, and have a couple of comments. First, if I make another I will use a round needle. I needed to use all 5 of the dpns, and even at that, had to be very careful that stitches did not escape off the ends of the needles. Second, I needed two skeins of the main color -- the first lasted just to the beginning of the decreases. (I hope I have enough left for the mittens.) This hat is just what I was looking for -- easy to make and attractive -- and will be NICE and warm, with the turned-up ribbing over my ears.
