Right now, only the Adult M/L size is fully written out. If you want to make a different size, you can download my Crochet Hat Size Checker Here and follow my tutorial for making custom sized top down hats.

Special Stitches

3rd loop HDC: Looking at the front and back loops on top, roll the stitch towards yourself, you’ll see a third loop appear.  Work stitches into this loop.
