By popular request:
To size for an adult take the toddler beanie and increase two extra row so you are working with 70 st in each round. You will achieve this by fpdc around 4 and then 2 fpdc around next. Then increase again by fpdc around 4 and then 2 fpdc around next.

To size for a teen follow the above directions but only increase once to get 60.

For those of you sizing for younger than 6 month there is another blog below this one on my main feed. They are Emy's leg warmers and the heart is smaller. You can use the instructions for that heart. To size I would suggest using the toddler instructions but only increase to 40 st and remove a row before you start the heart.

Good luck and have happy hooking!
