ribbed hat stretchieness question
Hi all,

I want to make a hat that is ribbed the whole way up (wing it with my own pattern)...

I normally CO 90 stitches for an adult hat. What I am wondering, is the ribbing stretchy enough that I should only CO 80? Normally I work the body of the hat in Stockingette stitch and just the starting 1-2 inches in ribbing.

Thanks!!
