Going to start with #15 needles. If that is to big I will drop to size 13. Lovely 80% Merino Wool/ 20% Nylon. Got it on sale at LoveKnitting website/store. I love the feel of this yarn, soft and not scratchy, and this color is gorgeous.
2-24
Worked out well with the #15 needles, enough stretch to fit over an adult head but snug enough around the neck to be warm. Cast on 40,1x1 rib until desired length, bind off.
