I cast on 60 sts for a 16” circumference to fit a 2.5-year-old.

I used size 7 needles for the rib and size 8 needles for the body of the hat.

I knit the rib 3” long so it could be cuffed either 1.5” or 2”.

I followed the directions for the crown shaping from Hayfield 4404 Helmet with Ribbed Turnback in the 6-7 year size.

-Cast on 64 sts
-Rib for 3”
-Knit until hat is 7” long (20 rnds)
-Crown shaping per Hayfield pattern (11 rnds, 2” long)

Measurements:

• Rib Circumference: 13”
• Body Circumference: 16”
• Total Length: 9”
• Length with Rib Folded 2.5”: 6.5”
• Length with Rib Folded 2”: 7”

Total Cost: $2.00
