As long as you cast on a multiple of 6 stitches the pattern will work - you can calculate a cast on number based on that, and then follow length instructions for the correct size. :) And if you need any extra help with a cast on number, let me know your exact gauge and I'll make a recommendation.

His head circumference is 19 in. The smallest needles I have is us 6 and us 7. Could I adjust this pattern to still make it with the larger sizes?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614762432333287096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-61043149162036855462018-04-16T02:29:04.454-07:002018-04-16T02:29:04.454-07:00Yes, as long as you convert the pattern for flat k...Yes, as long as you convert the pattern for flat knitting. :) Let me know if you need any help with that!Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-28187465165693987932018-04-15T17:55:45.292-07:002018-04-15T17:55:45.292-07:00Can this be done on two needles instead of the cir...Can this be done on two needles instead of the circular oneShortstuff 56https://www.blogger.com/profile/15708147694863763087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-68890170298463059002017-11-16T11:07:29.110-08:002017-11-16T11:07:29.110-08:00Sounds good, let me know if you have any other que...Sounds good, let me know if you have any other questions!Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-45055319467311921182017-11-16T10:43:49.815-08:002017-11-16T10:43:49.815-08:00Ok, thank you, if Idont have stocken guage I'l...Ok, thank you, if Idont have stocken guage I'll have to get some with the colours you used.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095691250683735320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-69174355521273113892017-11-16T10:15:24.433-08:002017-11-16T10:15:24.433-08:00Hello and thank you!

And thank you for including adult sizes. One question though; wouldn't women also like to wear this hat? I know I would :) And you don't mention them at the start.
