So, I was trying to make this hat:



It's supposed to fit an adult. I wanted to see if I could tweak it a bit to make it fit a child so I could make one for my niece for Christmas. I crocheted it exactly how the pattern was written in the first place. The only thing I did differently was use a larger hook because I couldn't find my hook that was the size I was supposed to use. Using a larger hook usually makes the item larger than it's supposed to be. I figured it wasn't a big deal because this was only a practice hat to see how it turned out. Well, I made the hat. Problem is...it fits SERA! LOL Apparently I crochet a little too tightly. Even with the larger hook it turned out TINY. Maybe I'll use a size Q hook and see how it turns out. (Size Q is HUGE...I was supposed to use a size J, but used a size K. When I feel like pulling out my camera I'll take a picture of Sera in the hat!
