@NeoFryBoy your comment isn't helping anyone either. she is assuming the hat is for yourself. so...if your making it for someone else just ask them to measure their head eg. 22 inches and make the hat brim around 21 inches so that it can sit tighter on your head with out if coming off, quite simple really when you think about it.

A relative measurement system based on the size of your knots? I get that it's an art, but that doesn't mean science cant be applied.

lol well how would you suggest doing it?

[NeoFryBoy]

This video is useless. If I wanted to make a hat for a family member who doesn't live in town how does putting it on myself help?

thanx for posting these vids, u inspired me to start crocheting. ? when do u actually begin decreasing while doing the oversized beanie, immediately after u have increased, or at the very end after you have made the appropraite length? PLEASE HELP! :-)

hi, just wanted to say thanks for the video. I've been making my beanie hats too small. :(

Can I ask what size hook you use?

My hat's snitches are so much smaller.
