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!

| 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″ |

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