How to Measure
Are you giving a crochet hat or beanie as a gift? You’ll need to know what size to make before you start crocheting.
If at all possible, it’s best to measure the circumference of the intended recipient’s head. Then, you can reference the pattern to figure out what size to make.
Depending on your preference, you may be able to adjust the length or “slouchiness” of your beanie.

I love designing patterns that look more complex than they actually are. For example my Alpin Crochet Hat is seamless crochet hat which has a down to top construction using one colour, so no yarn switching and tangling! It comes in sizes from preemie crochet hat to large adult.
