I'm not sure I understand what measuring how it's going to be worn means, though. As I understand it, wearing the hat would stretch out the ribbing, so if I'm measuring to its measurements when I'm wearing, would it be better to measure stretched, rather than unstretched?
Laughing at the image of the beret perched on my nose - and point taken *grin*
Re: 22 inches, oh hey, so my head is the standard measurement! That'll be very useful for future projects, thank you!
And yeah, those last two paragraphs make a whole lot of sense. The first hat I made (the one that didn't talk about gauge!) did something similar; I thought it was specific to that pattern, but now that I'm seeing it's generalizable, I'm very excited about how easy it is *G*
