November 20, 2009, Newsletter Issue #71: The Perfect Hat Fit

Tip of the Week

When working in the round to make a hat, mathematics realy helps to figure out the right size.  First, measure around the hat recipient's head, just right above the ears and across the forehead.  That will give you the circumference or perimeter of the finished hat.  Divide that number by 3.14159.  That will give you the diameter (measurement across the widest part) of the circle that you will crochet before you start to decrease to make the sides and brim of the hat.
