  2. This is really cute. I love it. How do you make it in adult sizes?

  3. I crochet loosely, and I would probably just use a J hook to make the hat adult sized. (I haven't made it in an adult size)
    Another way would be to do a couple of extra increase rows, before starting row 7.
    Extra height can be added by repeating row 7 once or twice.
    You could try it on during the crocheting process to make sure it will fit an adult.
