That ...You want to know what is AWESOME about this? That you get it and are teaching others about the correct size dimensions. That SO many sellers on Etsy who crochet baby hats and advertise "newborn" when it's clearly a "0-3" months size and they have no idea what I mean when I say newborn size. It gets me SO MAD because they really don't see the difference. <br /><br />I ordered a newborn hat from a vendor a year ago, and it was always too big to use. So I wrote her a year later (a week ago), and asked her if she could make the same hat, but smaller. Because it's one of my favorite hats to touch and feel! She said she couldn't because she could no longer get that yarn, but then wondered why I needed a smaller one because she made it exactly to specifications. 6 inches long by 6 inches wide when it lays flat (it's a pixie hat) for a 13-14" head on an average 8 pound baby. She sent me a picture of another newborn in the hat that it didn't look big on, but wondered if the excess hat was tucked around in the back (baby was on her back). I really REALLY wish that people who crochet hats understand that photographers photograph newborns in the first ten days of life. Their heads do not get to the 0-3 month stage until about a month or so. Photographers publish their pictures often on Facebook and if you want your product to make the cut, go the extra yard and check in with your photographers to see if it fits. Look for genuine feedback and not just assume there's no problem because no one ever said anything. It is awkward for me to give feedback to vendors because I don't want them to get offended by it, but then I'm part of the problem and they think that their products are perfectly fine. So I usually find something positive to say and just don't order from them again. So PLEASE if you're going to list something as newborn AND you want photographs showing you image in use, you want it to look the best it can.

I have made hats for a while, but always kinda just winged it as far as sizing goes. This time around I was trying to figure out how exactly to get the measurements that I keep seeing on size charts...and apparently I need it spelled out for me like you did here! lol This is the only time I have ever read to divide by 3.14!
