The Starlet Beanie is a soft double-layered beanie, that is folded inside itself for extra warmth.

SIZE INFORMATION:

Sizes: 1 (2)

Size fitting: Sizes 1 (2) are equivalent for a head circumference of 54-56 (57-60) cm 21¼–22 (22½–23½) inches. The hat has approximately 9 cm 3½ inches of negative ease, as alpaca yarn tends to stretch slightly with wear.

Choosing the size: Measure your head circumference at the widest part of your head, above the ears. If your head measures, for example, 55 cm 21¾ inches, the corresponding size is 1. If your head measurement falls between two sizes, such as 56.5 cm 22¼ inches, I recommend rounding up to size 2.
