Why can’t I make hats? Or at least, hats for other people? Other people in different states whose heads I can’t measure?
Every attempt at making a hat for my mom has failed, and she loves hats, so this disturbs me. I apparently have a bigger head/like my hats looser than she does, so using my poofy head doesn’t work. I tried an actual measurement, but then screwed up on the increases/decreases (it was a beret) and ended up with a head devouring mushroom – but the brim was the right size.
Is it because I secretly dislike hats? Is it because hats are insanely boring? Or is it just because I only have my own head to use and my head is not yarn-based hat friendly? Well that’s not true, because the lovely doily-based beret that I made for myself came out just fine. Hrmmmm… mystery.
