Sizing note This hat will fit a 24 (61cm)headwithabitofease,itfits my head and chin length dreads quite comfortably. Should you require a smallersizejustdecrease the appropriate stitches remembering 4sts equal approximately 1 (but do a swatch tocheckgauge).

NOTE: I worked the stripes so each subsequent pair of stripes was one row wider than the pair proceeding. I toyed with working the stripes in reverse order, thatistosayredstripe4rows,bluestripe 8 rows, red stripe 5 rows, blue strip 7 rows,etc.
