Hat Sewing Pattern: The Charlie Hat

This hat pattern has two sizes. Adult and Child. The adult size hat is sized to fit a head circumference between 20-26” (50 – 66cm). The child size is sized to fit a head circumference between 16-20” (40-50cm). Since this hat sizing is somewhat dependent on the amount of stretch in the sweater used, the adult size hat pattern will fit all sizes as long as the fabric has stretch. If the sweater you are using doesn’t stretch too much then you will have to measure your head circumference, divide in half, and measure the pattern piece to make sure it will go around your head. You might want to do a test mock-up first with some similar material if the sweater/item is very valuable to you. You can slice the pattern down the middle and widen it if you need to enlarge it. The children’s size will fit from about 2 yrs to 6 yrs. After that age, many children have adult-sized heads.
