Note: When choosing the size you wish to knit, please be aware of the amount of ease in your finished object. The fabric is extremely stretchy, but some sizes might have a circumference smaller than your head. You can view the projects tab of this pattern to see how each size fits. If you choose to knit the small size, it is especially important that you don't knit tighter than the gauge in the pattern.
