Adjustments for this are super simple. Choose your yarn and a hook of the appropriate size for your yarn. Measure the circumference (around) of the head the hat will be worn on. Divide by 3.14. Write this number down.
Begin pattern above. After each round measure across your work. When it reaches approximately the number you have written stop the increase rounds. If necessary, continue the pattern set in r1-9 to continue increases. (2 sc in first sc, 1 sc in each of the next 8 sc, adding to the underlined number each round) Once you have reached the end of your increase rounds simply begin working the sides by working one sc in each sc around (r10) until about 1 inch before the desired length. Then work r19 and r20.
Until next time,
