I have standards. I am not knitting a naked chicken viking hat. Nobody would take me seriously as a fiber artist ever again.
That said, feel free to go for it yourself! They give the finished size and the gauge, so should be easy to take it up. You'd need the head circumference measurement - on adults, likely to be between 20 and 25". From there you can figure by gauge or by proportion. For baby 18" they use a cast on of 80 stitches, so proportionally take that up, as long as it's divisible by 4. Call that number X. Cast on X, probably should do more than 5 rows of seed stitch, take that up proportionally too. 80 is to X as 5 is to Y. Do Y rows of seed stitch. Etc. The width of the ear flaps should be proportioned up, too - make them 1/8th of your cast on, must be an even number. The chicken legs would be the toughest part.
