Sure - here you go.  I used a size 8 circular needle and finished with size 8 double pointeds.  I have a tendency to knit tight so you'll have to play this by ear.  My son has a 21 1/2" sized head.  I used a...

Thanks - I'll tell him!  I think Rosie Greer used to knit, if I remember correctly!  (Football player)  Baustin, please do post a pic!!!!  I was in the yarn aisle a few weeks ago.  There was a middle-aged couple...
