Notes:

It is always best to measure head size prior to starting. Every head is different and you may need to adjust cast on number as needed.

I like the folded brim because it is neat looking and snug. You may prefer a different brim, such as the k1p1, etc. Just be sure to start with provisional so the Stripe sequence is centered and you can go back to adjust the beginning as needed.
