One size, to fit adult head size 51-61 cm / 20-24 ins with a generous negative ease. The rib pattern will easily stretch to twice the width. Crown shaping does not have a noticeable spiral, but instead rib pattern is reduced until last decrease rounds. Long brim can be rolled twice for a fitted crown, once or not at all for a slouchy fit.
