And is a complete and total disaster, really my first major one in this journey of re-learning how to make things. It is SO small, as in it might just fit a baby, plus it has no give so I imagine it would cut off the circulation to the poor baby's head. It is a torture hat, nice.
I think perhaps this is due to my somewhat laissez-faire attitude to counting my stitches, that and I think I made the puff stitches way to tight. I found them really difficult, not technically but physically, this hat made my hands ache. Which perhaps should have been my first sign that things were not as they should be?
But, trying to look at the positives, apart from being way to small, it is still a nice looking hat. I may even try it again at some point, perhaps after I have done a little more research on tension... which seems to be how I finish a lot of posts. Perhaps I am being really slow at learning my lesson?
Oh I feel for you!! I have just decided to learn to knit and had to undo a whole lot of knitting because it was going to fit me and it was actually for my little 3 year old!!!! Good on you for keep going! x
