What size should I make my crochet baby hat?
This is a great question, and one I asked myself. I like to use the Craft Yarn Council sizing guides and their head circumference chart when working on a pattern and therefore I have place their standards below.
- Preemie 23–30.5 (cm.) / 9–12 (in.)
- Baby 35.5–40.5 (cm.) / 14–16 (in.)
- Toddler 40.5–46 (cm.). / 16–18 (in.)
