My first knitting project. I guess a knitted 24 month hat is bigger than I imagined, and her head is 98%! She is ashamed of it too haha

Maybe it will fit when she is 10...

Did you check your gauge?? You might just be a loose knitter (hehe) and need to size down your needles. Gauge. It matters, yo.

It'll fit her eventually! It looks really nice.

I did! It was supposed to be 19" wide and 10" long and it was really close to those, I don't know what happened!

Sometimes patterns are just whack.

You did a great job though!!

[skiesthelimit]

Nailed it!

Hey, it's 100x better than anything I could have done!

G only has 2 hats and they're both too small for her so she often rocks an adult-sized beanie with the sides rolled up. So...in my house we see no problems with how that hat fits . Anyway, great job! I'm super impressed by your first project. My first knitting project is a scarf that I only ever got 3/4 of the way done. Then it got set aside since I ran out of yarn and also I had no idea how to tie it off anyway.

I enlarged your picture and B started waving to A!

Its cute! I can't wait to start some classes and learn this stuff. I'm a visual/tactile learner, so while I could probably teach myself, I need validation during the process that I am doing it correctly!

[TrudyCampbell]

My MIL does this every damn time and then she is shocked when it doesn't fit!

[carawestt]

It looks good though!

[kistjenn]

That is the cutest!  And Ashlynn has those same jammies .

[eav2c]

Omg! I love it though. I couldn't even try to do this so it's very impressive to me regardless.

[rubber pants]

Awwwww. So cute!!!!

[unclejesse]

She's rocking that hat!

I crocheted a hat for A while I was PG, and it somehow ended up lopsided!  I told everyone I changed the pattern and made a visor on it  (hot)

Great job!

Can you shrink it?

I don't know, do you think I can? I know nothing about knitting and if I can even wash it!

What kind of yarn is it? If it's wool, you might be able to shrink it a bit.

Just looked it up, it's acrylic.

[katfco]

If it's an acrylic blend you might be able to shrink it a bit, but wash it in hot water by hand.
