This snug fitting beanie is sized for a newborn (6-12 month, 1-2 year, child, adult, large adult). Finished hat is 12 (14, 16, 18, 20, 22) inches around and 5 (5.5, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8) inches long.

This is a great one if you’ve never knit a hat before. You can make it custom or just follow along with the math and other steps in the tutorial.
