I used less than one skein of Vanna's Choice Yarn in Barley. I followed the Lion Brand pattern except that I continued to increase stitches to 72 st. around before I made the straight part of the hat. I continued with single crochet stitches until it measured the right length according to B's head. I added two rows of double crochet stitching to dress it up.
