The yarn I used Knit Picks Capra in Magnolia and Blush. The yarn I used in the worsted-weight hat is Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Tweed in Papaya Heather and Oyster Heather. For the hat with the single-row stripes, I used the technique of helix knitting. (Helix knitting is a bit more complicated than a single-color cap, I would recommend using helix knitting in your cap to only more confident knitters.)
The faux fur pompoms are from this Etsy shop, I used the 4″ size.
The purple/pink hat is the larger size, the purple/gray hat is the larger size, the worsted weight hat is the smaller size, the helix knitting (striped) hat is the smaller size.
