How long should a hat be before decreasing?

Distance from the cast-on edge

Baby 4”

Toddler 5”

Child 6”

Women’s. 7-8”

Men’s.  8-8.5”

These are just estimates. The answer is really dependent on when and how the decreases are implemented. If you prefer a slouchy look, add 1-2” to the length.

Knitting has had a boon in recent years.  When Covid first hit in 2020, and everyone was staying home, DIY everything became a major fad.  But this increased interest in crafting hasn’t waned much as people have returned to work.  New knitters have found so many benefits to knitting, that they just keep coming back!
