Remember the Jayne hat I made a couple of weeks ago? Well, I just finished knitting not only the second adult hat but also a baby-sized Jayne hat! How cute is this, I ask you? (Denis and I have decided that it definitely falls into the “really stinkin’ cute” category.) Click on Carrie (or here) to see more adorable pictures!
It was almost beyond my math and measuring skills to make this hat, because I basically knit the equivalent of three hats to get this one. The first time it was too small – I didn’t believe Carrie’s head could be 3/4 the circumference of mine, so I rounded down. The second time it was too short, because I really didn’t have enough gold yarn left but I was trying to make it work anyhow, so I ripped out all the way back to the orange and added a couple more rows. The third time I had used a different yellow to try to lengthen the top and it just looked awful, so I ripped out the top third again. And then I had the brilliant idea to finish it off in orange. And left it that way, because, well, it’s so stinkin’ cute!
