NOTES FOR HAT

1.      This hat can be made for any size from a preemie to an adult male.        You will need to make your crown the circumference and height        of the person you are making the hat for.

2.      Check the chart at the bottom of the pattern for the circumferences       and heights for different ages of individuals. Then, fill in the       information you need below.

a.       _____ Circumference of Head

b.      _____ Circumference For Hat

c.       _____ Height of Hat

3.      To make measuring the hat easier:

a.      cut a piece of yarn in one color the length of the        circumference of the hat.

b.      Cut another piece of yarn, in a different color, the        length of the height you need.

4.      Do not fasten off. Carry un-used color until the next use.

5.      HINT: To get a GREAT size match, use Styrofoam balls with the                   circumference of the head you want to fit. This works                   SO MUCH BETTER than measuring in inches.
