If you prefer a looser beanie, size up. Keep in mind the beanie may stretch after wear. If you choose to use a yarn that does not grow with blocking (ex: acrylic) consider sizing up. This pattern is graded for 2 lengths and an optional folded brim available for each. The lengths are short and tall - the short length creates a fitted beanie style, while the tall length provides extra room on top. Circumference and height modification tips are included.
