"This pattern is written for a child-sized hat. However, it can easily be re-sized (yes, even beginners can do it) to fit anyone by adding or removing chains and/or rows. Instructions for re-sizing are included as well. While this is an easy, beginner-friendly pattern, an experienced crocheter could complete this entire hat in an afternoon. The toque is made flat using the half-double crochet in the back loop only and some slip stitches for the seam."
