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 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”
