I made this pattern for my newborn baby nephew. It didn't fit him. It ended up on an 18" doll (and looks good). With that in mind, I made a second one using the red loom. It was perfect. Maybe he was just a big headed baby? This is a great pattern and cute too. I made a third one for my daughter. Now my older daughter is making one for herself. Very easy.
