The hat is deceptive in its stretch to your head due to the stitching. It will seem small, but once it’s attached to the sides, it will work out.

You may not want to weave in your ends before your test, so you can either add more rows if it's too tight or subtract some if the fit is too loose. 

You will end up with a flat panel that is 17.5” long (larger size) x 8” wide, unstretched.

Single crochet up each side of the hat once it's folded.
