Newborn's head size?
Hi ladies! Strange question I know, but I want to order a crocheted hat for when baby is born to wear in hospital & newborn photo shoot. The hat goes with our nursery theme (sock monkey).
I found a woman on Etsy who has a preemie size with a circumference of 10" and an infant size with a 13" circumference. She's offered to make me one at 11" or 12".
I didn't want it to be too big or too tight. And I know I cannot predict the size of my baby's head but what would be the safest to go with, in your experience?

My son had a big head (still does ), but I'd do the 12 or so. Unless you think DC will be a preemie?

How long does it take to get the hat?
My girlfriend made Caden's hat and she went off of my growth sono...silly I know but we knew he'd have a big head based on that...he still does have a big head.
Also if it stretches a touch small wont matter and if it's big a couple of stitches in the back will help that out too.

Re: Newborn's head size?
Thanks! I just ordered her 13" infant size. I guess she has it that for a reason!
