Or perhaps even as the radius (length from the center of the circle to the edge) since you said 4.25" was too big. So you would create a circle with the ribbon just like the circle when it was wrapped around the head. A 17" circumference would b a 5.4" diameter if you were doing it that way. Which is what makes me think you did 4.25" from the center of your circle out, all the way around? hope you figured out a solution to fix it! :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043556314945355992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345738620654291628.post-21279558270678924542017-12-30T14:19:31.045-08:002017-12-30T14:19:31.045-08:00If your head hole is too small, you can untie ever...If your head hole is too small, you can untie everything and cut all the tabs a bit longer, then retie.

This is the circumference. You need to convert that to diameter.

I had to do one in each hole because my hood knot slipped through my neck.

So if you have fabric A and fabric B stacked like this: ABBA, Consider it 2 layers instead of 4, with AB being one layer and BA being the other. Hold tabs from AB in one hand, tabs from BA in the other and tie one knot, joining all hood parts together.
