Rows in hat

Such a silly question for easy pattern but can’t wrap my mind around this for some reason. I’m making adult size this time around and am done with brim. Adding stripes to use up stash of yarn but when pattern says continue with larger needles…green for adult…are directions in inches or centimeters? Am I correct in thinking 8/12” ? If so is this measured from beginning of brim or beginning of ss witch the later is what I’m thinking. Wow with all the absolute gorgeous sweaters and Tunisian stitching and I’m stuck on this. Tyia!

I’m hoping it’s ok I put this on here…no disrespect to designer. I tried to enlarge just area I needed but unable to do it…sorry. Btw it was a free pattern

You’re correct that it’s 8 1/2". Measurement in cm is given after inches, in ( ). Measuring from beginning means measuring from the cast on edge. I hate when things just won’t make sense but it happens.

Change to larger needles and proceed in
stocking st until work from beg measures
6½ (7½-8½)" [16.5 (19-21.5) cm], ending
on a purl row

Posting the pattern violates copyright and it’s too small to read anyway. What I posted is copy/pasted from the pattern I downloaded.

Ty GG…I made a toddler but went w/ measurements from internet prior. Some days nothing makes sense but refuse to put needles or crochet hook down. Would love to make a cardigan someday but the amount of yarn and price just isn’t in my budget so I stick with smaller projects. With the weather up north hats and mittens have been my thing. Took a break and went with a easy pattern for a change. I really enjoy and like the look of decreases Thanks🧶

I have never done this, but I have heard some people like to shop thrift stores for oversized sweaters. These they take apart. After washing and rewinding the yarn, they have enough nice yarn to knit a cardigan or jumper. There’s even YouTube tutorials on how to take the knitted items apart, so you don’t wast any yarn. I don’t know if this would work for you, but I just mention it. If you love to knit, it might be an option for you. I mention the YouTube tutorials, because you need to check the seams before you purchase. This one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxrCz8wFX1c covers all the basics. You don’t need to pay any attention to her little inventions. But if you want to do this, I do recommend investing in a sturdy swift. You’ll need to keep all that raveled yarn from knotting on you. There’s no reason why you can’t hand wind the yarn into manageable sized balls if you don’t want to invest in a yarn ball winder.

Ty for information. I have watched videos about this and a women even put yarn in oven to ensure no moths or bugs lol. Good idea I guess. I’ll keep this yarn idea in mind. Thanks again Lihn
