The neck is cinched in with a tie.

Yes but I think its still going to be too big, is there anyway to make it smaller just to be sure?

He crochets one round around the neckline.  You could try adding more rounds with decreases.

You could combine the added decrease rounds with switching to a smaller hook as well.

However, don't forget that baby's and toddler's heads are proportionately bigger for their body size than adults' heads are.  Here is a link for fitting hats, a toddler's and child's head max at 20"-20.5"is only a tiny bit smaller than my 22" grown-up head. http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/size-chart.html
