Average Head, Foot And Shoe Sizes For Children
ADVERTISEMENT
1These charts represent sizing averages to help you when making hats and booties for babies and children that
you can not measure yourself because they are far away, uncooperative or it is a gift and you don’t want Mom
and Dad to know. The measurements come from surfing *wonderful websites to find different charts and then
doing a little averaging of my own. Babies come in all shapes and sizes so when in doubt, enlarge.
Two things I realized while doing this: boy’s feet tend to be smaller and their heads larger than girls of the
same age (no comment) and all baby’s heads are large (as any mother can attest to) and grow quickly so that by
the age of three or four, they are just about as large as a small adult head. Isn’t that amazing?
I welcome feedback and any measurement facts that you might have found along the way.
