This hat has a very comfortable fit for a head about 21-23 inches or so around. This should be just right for most women and men. For a larger man’s size it may need to be an extra inch taller. This would require an extra skein of yarn. This pattern uses virtually the entire skein of yarn. (I had less than a yard left over)
