There are four animal charts included so you can pick your favorites and size it to your own preference. The small size (shown in blue) has two animal charts for those who prefer a more traditional fitting hat. The large size (shown in brown) is knit up with three animal charts for a slouchy effect. You could even knit all four charts if you like a really slouchy hat. Each animal chart requires about 40yds of fingering weight yarn so this is the perfect project to use your sock yarn leftovers.
