A knitting disaster!
A few posts ago I shared a pair of red ridged mittens which I was quite pleased with 😊
I decided to make the hat to match and here it is:-
It seems rather large but the pattern says that it should fit an average adult head, and I thought my head was bigger than average!
I have tried wearing it in a slouchy way but it keeps falling down. I am not happy with it so time for a bit of frogging 🐸🐸🐸
Woolly wishes,
Jane ♡♡♡
WOOLLY WEDNESDAY 
Oh no! At least you can laugh about it. My disasters usually involve things being too small!

Lamenting the time spent on it but I suppose I could wear it on bad hair days 😂

Ooh wish I had thought of that! Sadly I have unpicked it and it is now a ball of yarn 😣

I have considered knitting a rolly cowl only to realize it would mock my neck!

What a disappointment! Is it wool, and worth an experiment in felting?

Funny. At least hats are a fairly quick knit, although I know it’s frustrating to spend your precious time on something that must be re-done.

Sorry to hear Jane, at least you can have a little giggle about it. We all have crafting moments like these. Hope you can work out something nice there.

If we can’t laugh about things they aren’t worth doing 😆

Pictures are priceless. I do like it that you can laugh at yourself. My first slouchy looked a lot like that, only it was gray. I was so proud of my first hat but frogged it before anyone else could see me in it. LOL. I looked like Bilbo Baggins in a too large hood.
Thanks for making me laugh. I do like the hat though. I’d make it if I had the pattern.
Be well.

It looks lovely though! I really like the colour. Could you not frog a few rows then add a tighter rib to hold it on your head?

I kept having that problem with hats, until I read that you should make them 5 cm (2 inches) smaller than your head circumference to account for the elasticity of knitted sts
