(If your gauge is correct, 56 or 60 stitches should work well for large or extra large sizes.)Ībbreviations: CO=cast on, K2=knit two stitches, P2=purl two stitchesĬO 52 stitches with a stretchy cast-on. While you’re sizing up, you may also want to add an extra inch or so of height to the ribbed section as needed for a longer fit. Sizing: This hat is is sized to fit a small to medium-sized adult (20" to 23" head circumference).įor a larger hat, additional stitches can be added to the cast-on in multiples of 4 until the desired fit is achieved. Measurements of finished hat: Measured flat, the hat is 7½" tall and about 9" wide (unstretched)/12" wide (fully stretched) at the opening.
