Most of the hats I made were for charity so I didn't worry too much about fitting any specific head size. Unfortunately that didn't translate well when I tried to share "how" I made a hat, cuz I didn't have gauge info.<BR/><BR/>The inside of your hat looks great! So neat and tidy. I learned how to strand my yarn from that same website, so cool, huh?smariekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100767973885900243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38897177.post-27133825721568278902009-02-24T17:49:00.000-05:002009-02-24T17:49:00.000-05:00OOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOP..this alone makes me want to lea...OOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOP..this alone makes me want to learn how to knit even more....Nemesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03505462218444645172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38897177.post-91249729017772119112009-02-18T16:03:00.000-05:002009-02-18T16:03:00.000-05:00great job on the hat. the inside of your hat looks...great job on the hat. the inside of your hat looks awesome! as always you provide great details.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757521338130815167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38897177.post-16953588268656213562009-02-18T14:10:00.000-05:002009-02-18T14:10:00.000-05:00Nice hat!

But it took some time. <BR/><BR/>Your hat looks terrific to me. You live and learn!
