YARN GAUGE & WEIGHTS
* TIP* Always remember its better to purchase more yarn out of the same lot, this way your colors will match.
To make basic hats:
Small - Size for a small baby ( you will need 2 balls of 110 yards or less yardage is fine. )
1 ball if you want a thinner hat. Worsted weight or Sport weight
Medium - Size for a small child ( you will need 2 balls of 110 yards ) Worsted weight yarn or Sport weight
Large - Size for a teenager or adult ( you will need 4 balls of 110 yards ) Worsted weight yarn or Sport weight yarn.

50 inches in length.
You will need 4 balls of 110 yards of yarn if you choose worsted or sport weight. For super fine weight yarn you will need 6 balls of 110 yards of yarn.
How much to make a sweater
The following guidelines are for the amounts of yarn needed for a basic pullover or cardigan in a variety of sizes and yarn sizes. These estimates are for smooth yarns and plain or lightly textured knitting.
Keep in mind that heavily textured patterns such as all-over cables or oversized looks can easily require additional yarn (400-600 yards; 375-550 meters). When knitting with two or more colors, the total yardage will be greater to account for the yarns being carried across the back of the work.
Estimate generously, and if you have leftovers ... well, they're a designer's best friend!
