At the risk of being anticlimactic I give you…the hat! My first hat for an adult that went to my BFF for Christmas! T’was chosen for her specifically cause she is a Downton Abbey nutcase and I thought the style hailed from that time period a bit.
While I’m pleased as punch with the overall outcome, note the band! THAT is where the reverse single crochet came in and handed me my arse! It doesn’t look right! It’s supposed to be angled like in the photo and the million videos I watched like in the picture here:
Damn. It.
I’ll figure that noise out one day. Pisses me off to no end. But at least it doesn’t look bad and bow came out ok.
The Knitting Neurotic 
Looks great anyway!
Thank you! I worked hard!
I love it! I hope your BFF does as well. 🙂 the band you made looks perfectly fine. Who says it has to be just like the photo?
Thanks! I just wanted it to be perfect. But hey! It covers the head and has not fallen apart while being sent by mail. What more could I ask for right? 😃
You’re too hard on yourself – it’s gorgeous and, at least from the photos, I can’t see the difference. I think you did a fantastic job 🙂
Awww! Thank you!
