Well I've seen that different people have made up this pattern one says Large size adult made with suggested yarn and crochet hook and the other person that's made up this pattern says This pattern was made for my six year old and it works fine And the pattern instructions GIVE NO SIZE AT ALL they just say looks sweet on any little girl There is no size and no measurement given of the finished project At least with a measurement we'd know what we end up with and can judge from there is this will meet our intended size I am just amazed and totally disheartened by the lack of simple proofreading before publishing these patterns This isn't from a nice lady that sent it in or posted it on her blog This is from a yarn company and YES I do hold them to a higher standard Post the…Read More size You are supposed to be professionals at this

Worsted weight is usually the same thing as a number 4 that's listed on most skeins of yarn. I hope that helps. I had the same question when I first started.

How would I make this for an adult? Just a bigger hook or more stitches?

How do I make the cotton candy hat for a 2 year old. This pattern was made for my six year old and it works fine. What changes should be made to fit a smaller head. I love the pattern.
