Hi all,
I am making a hat from Jorid Linvik’s Big Christmas Book. The hat is called Bullfinches. It is for a child but I thought I’d use dk weight wool to achieve an adult size. I cast on 140 stitches and used 4.5mm needles. The hat came out huge. So I tried 3.25mm and it was still too big. I used drops Lima wool. What am I doing wrong? Should I go down a needle?
