Notes
1.22.13 OK, OVER ALL THE HAT WAS TO BIG FOR ANYONES HEAD, I think I will use a different size needles next go round, and then I bound off way to tight for anyone to wear the thing, so I am starting over completely, and
I think taking out part of the pattern to make it less huge!
7/9/10 I finished the “public side” of the hat yesterday, I changed the decreases, to something more pleasing to my eye, I split the stitched on 4 dpn’s, then knit 2 tog, k middle stiches, ssk, on each of the 4 needles around until I had 8 left on the needles and finished the way the directions asked. It turned out great! It just seems rather big, so I hope one I sew the two sides together it fits my grandpa’s head.
6/27/10 Well I screwed up the first “public” side chart. I hate reading Charts! Actually I think I got ofF on one round and it has screwed everything up and since I want this hat to look really good for my Grandpa’s Christmas Present this year, I think I may actually rip back an start over! I hate ripping back more than I dislike reading charts! But I love this yarn, that hat is going to be so warm and soft, I know my Grandpa will enjoy wearing it and get a huge kick out of the dot so public side!!!
