I initially knit this hat for my brother whose head circumference is 23.5”. The circumference was fine but it was about 0.5” too long. So I held onto it for a couple of years and eventually mailed it to Calvin, whose head circumference is 24.5”.

After adding the bottom edging the hat is 8.5” long. If I had known the edging would add that much length I would have knit the hat 0.5” shorter.

I think the number of rounds in the crown shaping is wrong. I worked the last 3 rounds of shaping without working an even round in between so the hat wouldn’t be too long.
