Since we often knit a lot of hats to be donated, we aren't making them for a specific head size. "They will fit someone," is our common refrain. Shocking confession… we don't swatch for hats! Therefore of course our hats often don't turn out the size we intended. But you know…they'll fit someone… We share some tips on how to make that hat fit your wearer's head.
