The Tall Ribbed Beanie is an interactive, made-to-measure pattern that calculates the number of stitches, rows, and yardage for a pattern. The benefit of this type of pattern is that it makes your pattern size-inclusive to virtually any body size (theoretically, it should even work for an infant!) and it allows you to use any yarn and any gauge! This is done by allowing the user to type in their body’s measurements and gauge onto the pattern. Then, in the background, the pattern will calculate all the math within the pattern to fit the person perfectly.
It is recommended that the pattern is accessed through Adobe Reader.

You can use any gauge! However, it is very important that you gauge swatch and determine your gauge before working this pattern in order to determine how many sts and rows you need to work throughout this pattern to get the exact right fit.

You can use any size needles for this pattern. I recommend using a needle size that creates a nice fabric with the yarn you’ve chosen to work with.
In terms of needle sizes, you will need:
Needle Size A: Main working needle size that you used to achieve gauge
Needle Size B: Same size as Needle Size A, or 0.5mm bigger or smaller. We will use this needle for the cast on method
In terms of types of needles, you will need:
16" (40c cm) circular needles
double pointed needles (DPNs) OR 36” (90 cm) + circular needles to use with the magic loop method
Other Materials:
4 Locking Stitch Markers (3 in one color/design, and 1 in another)
Tapestry Needle
Scissors
Measuring Tape

You can use any weight and any size yarn for this pattern! However, I highly recommend DK or worsted weight yarn for optimal results.
