NOTES: Hat circumference may be larger or smaller depending on the style of the hat.
Fitted hats require that you know your head size.
Knit caps are generally 5% to 10% smaller than people's heads as they stretch.
If you are unsure of your hat size, measure your head with a tape measure about half-inch above your eyebrows where your hat will rest and use the table to Find Your Hat Size.
If you are between sizes, go to the next larger size.
