How to size the Bucket hat to fit so to crochet him the basic bucket hat I would need to work out his measurements.

The Top of the Bucket ( across the circumference ) (this is your Measurement around the head = divide by 3.14.  Round up to the nearest .5 of the number So his measurement was 23 inches around (adult) I will divide this by 3.14 = 7.32  rounded up = 7.50 inches ( 7 and a half inches diameter across )I rounded UP as I wanted a bit of giving in the pattern.

 I have written the pattern for you for this size however IF you wish to upsize I have included a small guide on how to do this
