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
“Could you design a heather grey beanie with a wide 2x2 ribbed brim and a single thin white stripe near the top? I'd like it to fit an adult with an average-sized head, and I'm still fairly new to knitting in the round.”
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.
