Sizes: Hat for adult small (medium, large) – approximately 18 (20, 22)” head circumference at ribbing (unstretched), to fit roughly a 20 (22, 24)” head circumference. Sample hat shown in size medium.

If you want a size in between, I recommend going down one needle size for a tighter gauge. For a slouchier fit, knit one size larger than normal.
