Notes

Making a hat to go with the phone mitts.

02-12-2017

Last time I made this the crown was a bit tall so I am taking an inch out of the crown.

02-13-2017

I should have noticed sooner but as I was finishing up the crown I saw that I had used a lot less yarn than I should have - I was using the wrong size needle!!!! Ripped and looking better now.

02-20-2017

Fulled several times it and it is still huge. I’m blocking it now but I think it will need further fulling.

02-22-2017

Finally got it fulled by putting it in the regular wash with thee clothes. Blocked it on my plastic hat block. I am very happy with it.
