To cre­ate the per­fect Garfield hat, you’ll need to choose the suit­able yarn. For this pat­tern, we rec­om­mend using worsted weight yarn for a cozy yet man­age­able feel or bulky weight yarn if you pre­fer a chunki­er look. You can even use super bulky yarn for a warm and quick project. Feel free to exper­i­ment with dif­fer­ent yarn weights to achieve your desired tex­ture.

 Cro­chet Hook Size:
The size H cro­chet hook is per­fect for this project. It pro­vides the right bal­ance between a tight stitch and a com­fort­able feel. It’s a great size for both begin­ners and expe­ri­enced cro­cheters.
