I made the basic cable hat from Stitch N Bitch Nation. My problem is the brim is too loose. It doesn’t fit snug to the head. Everything else is fine just the bottom edge that’s too loose. I cast on using the long tailed method. Is there another cast on I should have used? Any ideas what I did wrong?
So now I’m wondering what I can to do fix this. Think I could get some elastic and maybe weave it into the inside of the hat? :??
that or maybe pleat it in the back… or you could frog it and go again with fewer cast on stitches. I dont know the pattern so I can’t help that much, sorry.
How would I pleat it? What does frog it mean?
Frog=ripit ripit 
Don’t worry…everyone who knits frogs more times than they would like to admit…I know I do 
to pleat it, just take up however much you need to in the back, pinch it together, and then fold it flat and sew tac it down. It’s gonna be a little visable but its a quick fix.
You can definitely just weave some elastic through on the wrong side.
Or, you could rip back the hem about an inch or so, and re-knit the brim in ribbing.
