baby hat help please

[crochetfun]

At what point do you stop increasing for a baby/toddler hat? (i.e. diameter?)

[Aggie May]

It will depend on the head you are making for but as a rule, I increase to where I think it looks OK then if it is not right I unravel it and either work another round of increases or undo a round to make less stitches.

Remember that when you start working straight as for a Beanie, it will take a couple of rows for it to look like it is becoming straight.

Write down what you did when it is right so you dont have to guess next time..

I always figure there will be a head somewhere to fit any hat I make as heads come in all sizes and shapes.

The weight of yarn will have a bearing on the end result too.

Have fun.

Thanks Colleen, but I don't have a baby model on hand:)

This should help you figure it out.

Thanks Deneen, it does.

I was going to suggest a melon, like a cantaloupe, or perhaps a large grapefruit, but sounds like you got it figured out:hyper

[crochetfun]

Well, if I know the circumference, I can calculate it:

 

Circumference = diaXpi, therefore Diameter= Circumference/pi

But a grapefruit is a great idea:)
