VITAL STATS
GAUGE
In 1x1 ribbing, after blocking, unstretched, 28-32 sts = 4”/10 cm. Stretchy ribbing makes measuring gauge a challenge. Aim for fabric that is supple but quite structured, and definitely not floppy or holey.

SIZES & MEASUREMENTS
This very stretchy hat should fit head circumferences: 14-18 18-22, 22-26”/ 35-45 45-55, 55-65 cm

SKILL LEVEL
Advanced Beginner (knitting in the round, decreasing)
