to go with this scarf--
I decided to not put a flower on the hat. I really, really liked it until I tried it on. No way could I wear it. It is very, very tight. The brim is too large and obstructs vision although the brim probably could be turned up for a different look. My crochet stitches are loose so I was surprised at the tight fit. This hat will be frogged and become a new project. I do like the looks of this hat and the great way the pattern was written. I may try this hat again with a larger hook and take off a row or 2 on the brim.
It's almost Christmas so I hope everyone has caught up with their holiday chores and are enjoying the season with family and friends.
Hugs to all,
Sharon

ReplyDeleteThank you Heather. Happy wishes to you and your family too. Looking forward to seeing you here in blogland next year.--S
DeleteCute hat, Sharon. Sorry it turned out too tight; hopefully it'll be better next time around.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Hey Sharon,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to add that I hope you have a Merry Christmas. Also that I checked the pattern site for the hat on this post via the link you posted and I too made that hat for someone and she complained it was too small as well. I think the authors gauge was off (no offense to the author the hat is still beautiful).
Huggies
Merry Christmas to you too Piper. I am going to make this hat again, after the holiday hoopla settles down. Maybe if I use a bigger hook it will turn out okay. Like you said, the hat is beautiful.
