Have you ever wanted to adjust a hat pattern or make your own hat pattern? I thought so. That's how I started down my journey of designing. You would not believe how many emails I get asking about adjusting patterns to another size. That's why I have put together this chart to help you along. I hope you enjoy your little journey as well!
Age | Circumference | Length (from top of hat to bottom) |
---|---|---|
2 lb Preemie | 9″ | 3 1/2″ |
4 lb Preemie | 11″ | 4″ |
6 lb Preemie | 13″ | 5″ |
Newborn | 14″ | 6″ |
3-6 Months | 17″ | 7″ |
6-12 Months | 18″ | 7 1/2″ |
Toddler (1-3 Years) | 19″ | 8″ |
Child (4-10 Years) | 20″ | 8 1/2″ |
Preteen/Teen (11-17 Years) | 21″ | 10″ |
Adult Women | 22″ | 11″ |
Adult Men | 23″ | 11 1/2″ |
I hope you found this helpful, and if you need to adjust yarn and hook sizes, you may find this chart helpful as well!

When you say “circumference” do you mean of the head or the hat?
