Inputs
Sizes are computed from these fixed inputs: sts per (in) 4.5, rows per (in) 6, head circ (in) 22, target length (in) 8.5, yarn worsted wool, needle US 7 / 4.5 mm circular + DPNs. A different gauge or stock makes a different size; the counts do not change.
Brief
“Please write up a charcoal and burgundy beanie with a tall folded-up 2x2 rib brim in charcoal and two thick burgundy stripes on the body. It's for my dad, so a fairly long, warm shape would be great.”
Checks
The counts, part sizes and placement were checked by computation on 29 September 2026 (verified on attempt 1); the piece has not yet been made by hand. If yours comes out differently, tell us and we will look at it.
