Which Alef-Bet?

Letters in Small Alef-Bet are around 3 stitches wide x 4 rounds tall. The Small Alef-Bet is an excellent choice for a small hat with a longer word or phrase.

Letters in Medium Alef-Bet are around 4 stitches wide x 5 rounds tall. The Medium Alef-Bet has a classic and clear look.

Letters in Cursive Alef-Bet are around 4 stitches wide x 6 rounds tall. The Cursive Alef-Bet adds elegance but may be less familiar to those less confident in Hebrew.

Letters in Large Alef-Bet are around 6 stitches wide x 8 rounds tall. The larger size allows the inclusion of nikkudim (the dots in the middle) and the vowels are also charted for this Alef-Bet.

Letters in Ornate Alef-Bet are around 7 stitches wide x 9 rounds tall. These beautiful and formal letters are especially striking.

Please note this is a general guide; some letters will be larger or smaller.
