If this hat is too big for you, end a bit sooner: after a round that has an increase (rounds 27, 24, 21, 28, etc.), just skip straight to rounds 28-33. If this hat is to0 smal for you, continue to follow the pattern (one round adding [sc increase, add 1 sc to the previous number of sc] 6 times, then two rounds of [1 sc in each st around]) and then add four rounds of [1 sc in each st around] once the hat has reached the right circumference.
