sizes
Sizes: S (L)

To measure your head, use a tape measure - the tape should sit over the middle of your forehead, just above your ears and midway at the back of your head.
If you're knitting the beanie as a gift and have no way of determining the exact circumference, you can assume that size S will fit teens & adult women, while size L will fit men.
