yarn requirement/adults only kitty/devil hat from SnB Book 1

I was just about to order yarn for this hat and realized it calls for 3 balls of Mission Falls 1824, which is 240 yards and the yarn I was going to order would be either 220 or 330... I find that a bit much yardage for a hat, anyway, but what do I know. Should I take the chance? Anyone make this hat and remember how much yarn it took?

Thanks!

I think one of the reasons it takes extra yarn is because of those looooooong icord thingies and the pompoms.

maybe?

ohhhhhh very well could be, yeah. most WW hat patterns i've seen can be done in one ball or a little over, so the 3 kinda threw me off. If I don't get into the 3rd ball, I guess I could make her some matching handwarmers or some other junk.

Thanks!

Junk? JUNK!? Nothing knitted is junk. It's a precious commodity worth it's weight in diamonds.

Have fun.

i'm sorry! i totally didn't mean it like that. i just meant like something extra with the extra ball if i have one, but something as yet undecided. absolutely precious, you're totally right.

I was just joking.
