Jan. 6: I started the hat this morning using a size 6 needle (pattern called for size 5). I finished about 3 inches before I decided to check gauge and fit. Much too small (should have been 5 stitches per inch and I was getting 6; I couldn’t put it anywhere close to around my head). So I frogged it.
I started over again this evening going up yet another needle size to 7. I’m back to about 3 inches and I have exactly 5 stitches per inch, so it looks like I’m on target now.
Jan. 7: Finished. It’s still pretty darn tight (so good thing that I went up the 2 needle sizes!), but I’m hoping that blocking will stretch it out just the little bit needed to fit without cutting off my circulation!
