    1. It’s not for toddlers. It’s teens/teens, women and small/petite men that use the same. My 11 year old is as tall as me, and wears near the same size shoes, clothes etc. So I definitely see why the same size is used for tweens/teens and adult women, and petite adult men or other gendered adults not in the large adult category! For larger adults of any gender, the xlg round loom is used, and the smaller loom used for those younger than tween aka toddler, baby, young child or doll it shows above. I can see how you misread and added toddlers to the tween size though, for sure! 😀

  3. hi! I used a 31 peg loom to make a baby beanie and it is SO small, no way it could fit my toddler. Can you help me understand, are some 31 pegs bigger than others?

    1. To try on the hat and determine the appropriate brim length, I would first place it on my head to see how it fits and how the brim sits naturally.
      If the brim is too long and hangs down, I would gently fold or roll the edges to a length that looks balanced, ensuring it’s straight and proportional to the hat’s overall design.
