I don't know what I did but mine will fit a toddler way too big for a doll. Her whole head fits into it. lol
Still it's pretty hat.

I had the same issue but not as extreme as yours. I eliminated two of the rounds on the top before I started the straight down rows. That helped however due to the stretching of cotton thread it was still a little big so I put in some eyelet row for lacing ribbon through so I could use the ribbon to pull up and adjust the circumstance for the head.

You have to continue to increase the top of the hat until the circumference of the top is the size you need. Then work straight without increases to the desired height. Then work brim. I hope this helps.

Thank you so much Elaine. I'm new to crochet but I'm going to give this a try. Your instructions are nice and clear.

I'd love to make this for my niece. Would it be difficult to adjust this pattern to make one to fit my niece as well (7 year-old)? Any suggestions about where I could find out about upsizing a crochet pattern. I've never done that.
