Notes

Gauge:

  • 18 sts x 24 rnds = 4” in stockinette
  • 22.5 sts x 24 rnds = 4” in pattern

Simone specifically requested this hat.

I cast on 84 sts instead of 88 sts and I did not increase after the rib for a finished circumference of 18.5” in stockinette instead of 20”.

I used the German Twisted Cast On.

I skipped the first crown decrease round and then decreased per the pattern. The beanie was 11.5” before washing and shrank to 11.25” after washing.

Measurements:

  • Rib Circumference: 14”
  • Body Circumference: 15”
  • Total Length: 11.25”
  • Rib Length: 5”
  • Body Length: 6.25”
  • Length with Rib Folded 3.25”: 8”

Total Cost: $0.58
