I just made the adult size of your Double Ridge Beanie. The finished beanie would fit a baby but definitely not an adult. I have double checked my needle size and directions. Please advise on any suggestions to have it fit an adult.
I would go up a hook size or use a thicker yarn. Sometimes medium weight yarn can be much thinner even though it says size 4. I used Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn.
