Design uses about 6.5 inches or 16.5 cm of narrow 1/8″ or 3 mm wide elastic to customize the fit and make a slightly big hat on a small head super comfortable. We also use a shoelace in this design to create a chinstrap and also use a toggle to finish the chinstrap.

You can also tighten the fit by using a slightly shorter piece of elastic of you can increase the fit by using a longer piece of elastic or no elastic at all.

There are two brim sizes in this package for each size set. Sizes are separated to there are no lines crossing over and the pattern can be printed in black and white although the pieces are color coded. Each brim has a video on YouTube giving you step by step instructions about how to make the hat.
