Tips for this placement

- Use a water-soluble topping on chunky knits so stitches don't sink into the ribs.
- Avoid fine details: rib knit swallows thin lines and small text.

What size is a beanie cuff embroidery design?
A beanie embroidery design is usually 2 to 4 inches (50–100 mm) wide and under about 1.75 inches (45 mm) tall, centered on the folded cuff. Bold logos and short words work best on rib knit.
How tall can a beanie design be?
Keep it under about 1.75 inches tall so it fits the folded cuff.
How do you hoop a beanie?
Unfold the cuff, turn it inside out if needed, and float it on hooped sticky backing; or use a beanie hoop or cap frame.
What size should I digitize the design at?
Digitize it at the final size, here about 3.5 × 1.4 in, rather than resizing a finished file: the stitches, density and underlay are then calculated for that size.
