Hi Kim,
1 1/2 inches is what worked for me and what I knit for the sample, but if you want to make the ribbed section longer, go for it! I have found different people prefer different proportions for brims and that’s totally a personal preference thing and is completely fine to change. 🙂

Also, the sizing is correct, this pattern is based on my standard hat pattern which has been knit by my readers probably a thousand times and I get no complaints about sizing. You are correct that based on gauge the finished hat is a little under 14.5″ but it has significant negative ease (aka it’s very stretchy)!
Hope that helps!
Cassie

Just wondering if the 1 1/2 inch ribbed brim is a typo??
I find that the 1 1/2 inches isn’t really enough to fold properly.
I extended it by about 2 ” and that helps a lot. Also I think maybe this hat would be more for a preemie size baby or smaller newborn. Circumference (head) for a newborn is about 14″.
Anyway, really just wondering if the 1 1/2 ” brim is correct.
