Still Trying to Customize Hat Sizes
尝试自定义帽子尺寸Yes, I'm still trying to customize hat sizes. Over the last few months, I've gotten numerous comments and questions about hats sizes. Considering we all crochet with different tensions/ gauges, it's impossible to give definite numbers of stitches. The charts are great but they do not tell us when to stop increasing. This has always been my problem with gifts. If I make something for Ireland, I'll just put it on her head and see how it fits and then adjust from there. But when you have to make a gift, it's tough to guess.
I've decided to get all of Ireland's hats that I've made for her since birth to use for my experiment. I have compared the hats to photos of her wearing them. I've looked at the dates to determine how old she was when wearing. This is how I've measured for sizes.
This is a general chart, but still pretty helpful...Better than nothing. The measurements listed in the chart represent the size of the circle you should have when increasing. When you reach the desired size then stop increasing and just crochet evenly thereafter.
年龄 直径圆
新生儿----- 4寸
3-6个月----- 5.5寸
9-12个月----- 6-6.5英寸
24个月----- 6.5-6.75英寸
幼儿和小孩----- 7寸
成年女性----- 7.25-7.5寸

例如,如果你正在做一个12个月大的帽子...增加,直到你有一个圆圈,测量6-6.5英寸横跨,然后继续钩针每轮均匀,不增加。
The hat in the photo above will be for a child about a year old. So as you can see the circle measures right at 6 inches.
The finished length will also vary according to age

This green hat is for a teen or adult woman, so I'll stop at about 9 inches.
Edit: If you are making an ear flap hat, then the length will decrease slightly.
Of course these measurements are not exact for each child and adult. I have made hats for large adult women heads that measure more than 10 inches in length. These are general measurements intended to offer a little bit of help, instead of trying to make a hat blindly without a clue:D
I hope this helps.
Have a great week!
上面的蓝色帽子将是一个12个月大的,所以我需要保持钩编几英寸。
这个绿色的帽子是一个青少年或成年女性,所以我会停在大约9英寸。
编辑:如果你制作一个耳盖,那么长度会略有下降。
