FIT
Since head circumference varies a lot among children, it is recommended to measure the child’s head to choose the correct size. If the child’s head circumference is between two sizes, it is recommended to knit the smaller size, as the hat will stretch.

Note: The needle size is only an estimate – depending on which yarn you use, you may need to go up or down in needle size.
