Finished Size & Fit: This beanie measures approximately 8.5 inches in total length and is designed for a loose, comfortable fit around a 24-inch head circumference, making it a great one-size-fits-most option for adults. Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate Pattern Language: English Techniques Used: Cast on 122 stitches and work in 2×2 rib (K2, P2) until the brim measures 1 inch, or your preferred length.
