22 inches to hat size
Divide the head circumference by pi: 22 ÷ 3.1416 = 7. The nearest eighth is 7, so a 22-inch head wears a size 7. That is UK 6 ⅞, EU 56 and usually a letter size M.

Fit tips
- Measure with the tape where the hat will sit: across the middle of the forehead and about 1 cm above the ears.
- If your tape reads a little over 22 inches, use the exact number in the calculator. Every eighth of an inch of diameter is about ⅜ inch of circumference.
- Round up for fitted caps and felt hats. Round down for stretch-fit caps and beanies.
