I chose to go a size smaller for this one - using the medium size which has 72 stitches on the needle once you have made all the increases. Again I used double-stranded Patons Classic Wool - colours Jade Heather and Aran (both from my stash). Again I used 5.5 mm dpn's for the body of the hat, but switched to 4.5 mm circular (16") for the garter stitch band as it seemed a bit loose on my first Thorpe project (ravelry link). The trim is in single crochet due to the thickness of the wool.
