Yarn Needs: The pattern calls for different amounts of yarn depending upon which version you make. For the “girl’s set,” you need 2 ounces of the main color, 2.5 ounces of the first contrast color, and 2 ounces of the second contrast color. For the “boy’s set,” you need 3 ounces of the main color and 2.5 ounces of the contrast color. The yardage cannot be specified because the suggested yarn comes in so many different sizes of skeins.

From the author in COLORFUL HATS & SCARVES:

“The instructions for these projects are very similar, but bold colors for boys and the addition of girly-girl cherries for girls makes a big difference in the look of the finished projects!”
