• This hat is worked vertically instead of horizontally, your chain will equal the height of the hat (top to bottom) and the rows will equal your width

• Each row is worked around a hair tie/pony tail holder via a sl st

• Multiples of 4 + 1

• 8 rows = approx. 3 inches

• You can test your size out by doing the first 8 rows as written in the instructions to get your gauge and then make adjustments as necessary.

• Yarn brand, crochet technique, tension, etc will affect your hat size. You can either change hook sizes or just make adjustments to the math according to your measurements

• Because of the way the hat gathers around the hair tie I added an extra inch in my length. When flat without being sewn closed it is 8 inches, but once sewn closed it is about 7 inches.

• Pattern uses worsted 4 yarn and H5mm hook

• Size chart for making it larger or smaller is included
