You can decrease the size by less rows and stitches. The turning chain does not count as a stitch. The first stitch of every row goes in the same one as the turning chain.

Chain 27 (all stitches are in the back loop only)
Row 1: 2nd chain from the hook, work one hdc, repeat until you have 20 st. sc in the next 5 st. Chain 1, turn.
Row 2: sc in 1st 5 st. hdc in the next 20 st. ch 2 and turn.

Repeat Row 2-3 until you have 35 rows. Cut yarn weave in ends. Fold the hat in half and whip stitch or slip stitch the short side.
For the red hat, I did 28 rows.
To Finish the Crochet Ribbed Hat
Next, cut off a piece of yarn to gather the end where the single crochets are. At the top edge put thread the yarn in and out through each row around. Gather by pulling the ends.
Knot and weave in all ends. Attach a pompom to finish the hat. I used medium gray wolf and black pompoms.
I really like the pompoms I received. They came with directions on how to take care of them. They were easy to put on and look great. There are 3 different sizes available.
