I have two other bobble hats around the house and they are both soft, stretchy and flexible so they don't pinch the head and the size is enough for both my 5 year old and 2 year old year old can wear them if he wants. It seems that this hat is knitted from too dense cotton that does not want to stretch. It fits my 2 year old who is almost 3 but not my 5 year old. It feels too hard and she doesn't seem to want to wear it, unlike her other more flexible and stretchy knit hats that are more comfortable to wear. Cotton is also not very soft. I hope washing can loosen or soften the fabric but unfortunately it hasn't changed the hat in any way. It's a really cute hat and I love the huge 3 inches around the pom pom but I'm not impressed with the lack of comfort.
