Cannot Make Hats Big Enough
This child has a HUGE head. I've made him several hats, always allegedly several sizes "too big" for his age, and *one* has fit him. Then DH went and felted it in the washer. :(
Here's my latest creation, done in Child size (and then some!) and it's still a bit small. I'm tearing out the decrease rows and adding more to the body.

(I have the big-headed children, too) Try this one: http://knitting.about.com/library/blrollbrim.htm I use the "medium" adult size for my 4 year old. It fits both of us.

I have a big headed boy too. It has always been a challenge. Have you tried doing a gauge swatch first, then using it to decide how many stitches to cast on? If you prefer to use a pattern, you could simply increase all of their stitch numbers by the ratio of their cast on number to your cast on number. I teach my handwork students to calculate their caston stitches by a gauge swatch and then adjust for pattern.
