I'm currently working on writing the pattern for a guy's waistcoat stitch beanie with partial band. I'm planning to make it available in three sizes...men's regular, men's large, and men's extra large.
The extra large would be 26" in circumference and would be geared toward either really large gentlemen or gentlemen with lots of big hair.
What I need to know is how deep to make the main part before I start the partial band. For a men's regular, the depth from the top of the head to the bottom of the ear lobe is 8", but I don't know what what depth I'd need for the extra large.
Do any of you have a really large guy or a guy with big hair that would allow you to measure his head for me? These are the two measurements I'd need.
* Circumference: measure around the head, including over the ears.
* Depth: measure from the bottom of one ear lobe, over the head, to the bottom of the other ear lobe.
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
