  Hat Care
   Hats, felted or knitted, should be cleaned by hand in cold water.
   Gently soak the hat for a few minutes and then squeeze dry - do not wring - and if possible
   reshape and dry it on a hat form or even on the backside of a pot; otherwise lay flat on a towel.
   Let dry completely. It wouldn't hurt to place it on a radiator with a towel underneath
  Sizing
  Hats are made in three sizes; the measurement is the head circumference, the widest part:
 
Size ins cm
small 18 to 19 45 to 48
medium 20 to 21 51 to 53
large 22 to 23 56 to 58
