How long should a baby hat be?

i crochet and loom knit baby hats and always wounder how long they should be. Most people say 5 or 6 or 7 inches, i wish they could narrow it down to one number. Please tell me what u think…im not counting the brim.

It depends on the type of hat and the size. Here’s some general size info.
