That depends on the stitches used and your tension, so you’ll be better off paying attention to the side of your rectangle. I would with stitches until they measure 8.25 for a fitted hat (add more for slouch), and with rows until your work measures 20” long (or head circumference minus 2”).

Thank you!!!!!

Happy to help!

[@emilyweatherhead6567]

do you think this can be made two sided by joining two rectangles with a slip stitch before finishing it off?

[@HooksBooksWanderlust]

Totally! Just make sure you go through both panels of fabric when you cinch! You might also work a brim on the bottom of the hat too, also through both layers, just to really attach both of the “sides” securely.
