What Size Should You Order?

September 2nd 2013
It seems that September has become the beginning of most people's New Year. Forget January. September is when resolutions are made and goals are set. I like the idea. After all, with Christmas, or the 'Holidays', only three short months away, it makes goals seem more attainable.
Yet again, I have promised myself I will keep up my Blog postings on a regular basis. The problem usually lies with not wanting to bore my readers - There are five at the time of typing, and I am eternally grateful to them for their fortitude.
However, this topic is something I wanted to post so that I can direct http://www.wowthankyou.co.uk/mammazooms/  and,

How to pick a Mammazooms Hat size.


Newborn sized hats should pop straight onto the baby's head without the need to stretch it over. Obviously all the crocheted hats have give in them so don't panic if the newborn you have bought your Mammazooms photo prop beanie for is larger than estimated sizes shown here.
Apart from the Premature and Newborn sizes it is recommended that you order 1 - 1.5 inches smaller head circumference than you need as wool has plenty of give in it and it could end up too loose later on.

AGE/ SIZE             HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE          HEIGHT FROM CROWN TO TRIM      

NEWBORN                  12-14 inches                             5.5 inches

0-3 mths                     13-14 inches                           5.5 - 6 inches 
                                 (33 - 35.6cm)                          14 - 15.2 cm)

3-6 mths                     14-17 inches                           6 - 6.5 inches
                                  (35.6 - 43.2cm)                      (15.2 - 16.5 cm)

6-12 mths                    16-19 inches                           6.5-7 inches
                                  (40.6 - 48.3 cm)                     (16.5 - 17.8 cm)

12- 48 mths                 18-20 inches                            7 -8 inches
(Toddler)                    (45.7-50.8 cm)                       (17.8 - 20.3 cm)    

LARGER SIZES:

3- 10 YRS                    19 -20.5 inches                        8 -  8.5 inches
                                 (48.3 - 52.1 cm)                     (20.3 cm - 21.6 cm)

TEENAGER/                20.5 - 22 inches                       9 - 10 inches
Small Adult                 (52.1- 55.9 cm)                       (22.9 -25.4 cm)

Adult                          22 - 24 inches                         11 - 11.5 inches
(Large)                       (55.9 - 61 cm)                         (27.9 - 29.2cm)


It should be noted that Hats with braiding etc are not as long in the crown to trim area as stated in this guide. All our crocheted items are handmade an as such may vary a little in sizing. However, this is a good guide to go by.
I hope it helps you keep warm and dry during the coming months.
