Sizing may sound small but compensates for hair loss and for the stretch factor of cotton blend yarn.
Beanie is worked with wrong side facing, throughout. Once finished, flip the beanie inside out so that the Crown shows as Reverse Stockinette. This helps allow for the smoother “knit” stitches to be against the scalp to help lessen any irritation sensitivity.
The pattern does not describe how many stitches to place on each needle when using the double pointed needles method or the two circular needle method. Simply split the stitches evenly across the number of needles used.
