Brief
“I'd love a bright mustard yellow beanie for my teenage nephew, plain all over with a 1x1 ribbed brim and a simple, snug crown. Nothing fancy, since it's only my second hat.”
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.
