If you can, measure around the circumference, and also from the crown to where you want it to finish- I did mine to cover her little ears! Then divide the circumference measurement by pi (3.14) and this gives you the diameter. <br />Start with 11 stitches as instructions say, and keep increasing rounds until the diameter of the circle matches what you calculated. This may mean you do one increase round less than you did for your husbands hat. Then carry on with plain rounds until it reaches the desired length. Voila! That's basically how hats are measured to fit. <br />Another way would be to use a slightly smaller hook, maybe 5mm, and follow the pattern... But either way it really helps if you can get a measurement. If not there are loads of websites with average head measurements for all ages! <br />Hope that helps! :)A Bunch Of Buttonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06942008682483599422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475833960232005132.post-56758012602220389552013-12-23T10:03:16.677+00:002013-12-23T10:03:16.677+00:00How did you adapt the Myboshi pattern for a child?...How did you adapt the Myboshi pattern for a child? I've just made one for my hubby and would like to use the leftover wool for a 2 YO. As a beginner I'm not sure whether just to half the no of sticthes ie 6 trebles into ring to start instead of 11 etc...Anna Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01231140076848750653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475833960232005132.post-29826503924293100522013-11-19T20:21:29.509+00:002013-11-19T20:21:29.509+00:00Wow!! you have been busy!! hats and felt and rugs...Wow!! you have been busy!! hats and felt and rugs and santa's and reindeer!! I am using Wink's pattern also and making a rug for my granddaughter. I love how different they all look depending on the yarn you use. I still haven't tried amigurumi yet...maybe one day.

I'm busy making felted Christmas tree decorations too, for baby friends of my baby, but if I get time I'm definitely going to to more for our own tree! Thanks for typing out the Father Christmas pattern - if I can find the time I'm totally making one of those! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
