Today's post is on sizing and which size you should choose to get a perfectly fitting winter hat! Both the Katoomba Slouch Beanie and the Leura Beret come in a wide range of sizes, all the way from seriously cute 'newborn' to super comfy 'large adult'.
The first thing you should do to find your size is get a tape measure.
Then measure the circumference of the head of the beanie wearer (or your own head if it's for your lucky self ;)). The circumference is the measurement around the outside of the head at the level of the middle of your forehead. Take this measurement and match it to the closest measurement given for our sizes just below. If it's between sizes then always go to the larger size.
Sizes to fit a head circumference of:
Newborn 14"/36cm
Baby (6 months) 16"/41cm
Toddler 18"/46cm
Child/Teenager 20"/51cm
Small Adult 22"/56cm
Large Adult 24"/61cm
Also if you wish to change the style of the beanie and have a tight fitted non-slouchy beanie, then order or knit a size down. In the pictures below, my standard size is a 'Small Adult' but if I want a non slouchy fitted beanie then I'd wear a 'Child' size.

But, if you would like a super slouchy beanie then order or knit a size up. Below I'm wearing the 'Adult Large'.

And there we go. With three styles possible that's my guide to choosing your size for one of my winter hats. All beanies and berets are available in my Blue Mtns Knits Etsy store as Made to Order in a size and colour of your choosing and as knitting patterns.
