HAT SIZES  from knitpicks.com

• You'll need approximately 2 inches of negative ease for your hat's circumference.
• Obviously, not everyone is average, these charts were just designed to give you a rough idea for project planning purposes.
• These yardages are rough estimates, yarn usage changes depending on stitch pattern.
• These yardages were estimated using a gauge of 5sts/inch and a stockinette stitch.
