• Colour A: ‘Chartreuse’ (yellow-green)

[@unseasonedoritos]

thank you for this!

[@dear.rainie]

so welcome

[@laurawagner5536]

Gonna make this asap❤

[@dear.rainie]

Yeah! Please do 💞

[@christinanita]

Thank you for making this! May i know the weight of the hat and how many grams of yarn are needed for each color?

[@dear.rainie]

hey! great question (and sorry for the tardy response), I'll need to double check & get back to you with an approximation!

[@christinanita]

@@dear.rainie thank you, I appreciate it! I will wait for that 🥰

[@dear.rainie]

@@christinanita heya! I'm *so* sorry for the massive delay, so I've purchased each of my chunky yarn in 100g skeins - I have a quite a lot of this yarn still remaining, I'd estimate that you might want to budget for at least 25g in any one colour (for my demo, I used much less of the yellow & green colours), so if you were to buy a 50g skein in a similar weight, you should be good to go (assuming you follow a similar way of colour blocking as I did). Let me know if have any other questions, appreciate your patience! 👼
