In reply to Kamilla S Lavoie. Hi, Kamilla, I'm glad the hat turned out nicely! I'd suggest to choose the yarn first, and choose the needles based on the yarn label (that would typically around US size 7-9 /4.5-5.5 mm). To recalculate everything properly you'd need to knit a gauge swatch, wash it, dry it, and calculate the gauge and measurements from that swatch. Roughly saying, you'd take US 8 needles for the hat (and US 7 for the ribbing), and cast on about 80 stitches. You'd also need knit less rows.

I just made this hat. It was my first knitted hat and it came out perfect! I wanted to use a worsted weight to make a second one because I really like the color. How much would you decrease for the cast on amount? Any tips on needle size as well?

In reply to Judi Grunstra. Hi, Judi, that is true for back and forth knitting. Stockinette stitch has knit stitches on the right side and purl stitches on the wrong side. But when you're knitting in the round, you work on the right side and don't turn your work, so you knit every round.

Isn’t stockinette stitch Knit one row and Purl the next? My understanding is that knitting every row will produce a garter stitch fabric.
