Hello-
i found a hat pattern that I�d like to make for a friend that is having a baby. Unfortunately, that pattern is for a 9-12 month old baby, and I�d like it for a 0-3, or even 3-6 month old sized head. The pattern calls for a brin cast on of 72 stitches, but I have no idea what would be an appropriate amount of stitches to decrease the cast on to to fit a smaller size head. Any suggestions?

Here is a link to the pattern if that helps:

Thanks!
