The Studio Hat is knitted starting at the top in 2×2 rib stitch, increasing stitches until you reach the desired circumference. The brim is worked in a second colour, then a small section of 1×1 rib stitch is added in a third colour at the end, before finishing with an elastic bind-off for a clean, stretchy edge. All three sizes use the same stitch count; the finished circumference depends on your gauge.
MEASUREMENTS
Sizes: 1 (2, 3)
Circumference: 18¾ (20, 22½)” / 46.5 (51, 56) cm
The sizes roughly correspond to Child (Adult Small, Adult Large). The Studio Hat is designed to be worn with an intended negative ease of 2 to 4″ / 5 to 10 cm, meaning you should choose a size 2 to 4″ / 5 to 10 cm smaller than your head circumference.
