So i meant to post about this yesterday. I saw a hat over at knitty.com and even though it’s fair aisle it was a pretty simple pattern. So i was going to attempt it, but then i had in my hand this yarn that i really like and i wanted to use it to make a hat instead. So i thought, since the pattern called for two strands of yarn to be held together through out the work, the chunky yarn i had was at most just a little bigger than two strands of ww yarn so i figured i’d use the needles and number of stitches. Here are it is near the begining and when it was almost finished…
well let me tell you… it’s a little big. But i have a big head to begin with so a hat thats big on my big head would eat up the head of someone else. it is literally sitting on my head without any stretch. haha so it just seems so huge. Do you think if i took some black elastic cording and weaved it through the ribbing to pull it a little snugger it would solve my problem? maybe make it a little more like a rasta or something? we’ll see… here is a pic of my and one of mom lol (fyi this hat makes mom look like a COMEPLETLY different person lol)
