The yarn to be used says Vickie Howell Sheep(ish) Stripes Nightish (1 skein) but then you scroll down to the instructions and it reads “Color A (Gray)” and further on “Color B(Night)”.
So, do you actually need to buy 2 additional skeins of a gray and a night or is this discontinued and use a substitute?
Thank you.

Can you please ask the designer to post a picture of the full hat – ie; without the model. It will help to see what the the next level of the hat looks like. Many Thanks
