can we get an adult sized pattern without the braids? This is just too cute for kids, and I'll be making one, but I want one for me!

@DC... I know this is too late for Halloween, but for future reference, to enlarge for an adult, I would suggest this: After Row 31, continue to increase 6 stitches in every odd row and sc in each sc every even row for a few more rows. When the hat seems to be the right width for your head, sc in each sc EVERY row until the hat seems to be the right height for you. Then do rows 45 and 46.
