I don't remember what the circumferences of young children's heads were - or their necks
I know the towel hole has to be big enough to go over baby's head easily - Did you cut your ribbing 2 or 2.5 inches wide? And how long? (Or what ratio of ribbing to hold circumference did you use? 3 to 5, 4 to 5?)
