**Skill Level:** Advanced Beginner

**Sizes (according to the wearer’s head circumference measurement):**
**Preemie:** 12” circumference
**0-6 Months:** 13” circumference
**6-12 Months:** 14” circumference
**12-18 Months:** 16” circumference
**Child Small:** 17” circumference
**Child Medium:** 18” circumference
**Child Large:** 19 ¼” circumference
**Adult Small:** 21” circumference
**Adult Medium:** 22” circumference
**Adult Large:** 23” circumference

Hat is designed with negative ease, meaning the hat is a little smaller than the wearer’s head circumference, so it will stretch to comfortably stay on the head.
**Actual Finished Size (circumference / hat length):**
**Preemie:** 11” / 4 ½”
**0-6 Months:** 12” / 5”
**6-12 Months:** 13” / 5 ½”
