Starlet Hat

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. **DETAILS:** Yarn: 100 (120) g Wool Me Once Bumblebee Suri DK (100 g / 225 m [246 yds]) Needles: 5 mm [US 8] / 60 cm [24 inches] circular needles and 5 mm [US 8] DPNs. The suggested needle size is indicative and you should choose the needle size based on your knitting tension to achieve the correct gauge. Other supplies: crochet hook (around 6 mm [US J-10]), stitch markers, measuring tape, scissors, tapestry needle, and a piece of leftover yarn (such as wool or cotton) Gauge: 13 sts x 22 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches], in stockinette stitch, knitted with 5 mm needles. The swatch should be gently blocked.
