How can I determine the size of the cap?
Going to buy clothes for a child, you need to know such data: age, height and head circumference. The correspondence of these parameters in children is individual. The main characteristic when choosing a hat is the girth of the head.
It is easy to determine. You can measure the baby's head with a centimeter tape. If there is no centimeter, a dense, non-stretchable thread and ruler can be used for this purpose. Measurements are made by making a girth of the head.
A centimeter tape is applied in front in the middle of the frontal part and then back, along the most convex occipital part. If the measurements are taken with a thread, then its length after entwining the head is measured with a ruler. The resulting number is the desired cap size.

The rounding of the parameters is performed upwards.
