I have a big head.
There, I said it.
Chances
are, however, you do too. I can say that with a certain level of
confidence as I have yet to meet an adult with a head circumference of
18 inches. Which, according to this pattern, http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rudensk, should fit most
average-sized heads. Guess what, pattern? It does not.
Although
I love knitting Fair Isle, it can be a little tedious at times. So
finding a pattern that doesn’t require a gratuitous amount of color
changing is something I look for. This pattern was perfect. The Fair
Isle chart was easy to read, it didn’t require some crazy expensive
yarn, and I actually had the needle sizes for it. It also knitted up
ridiculously quickly. Though now, I know why- because it’s not a very
big hat.
Sigh.
It was supposed to have been for my mother. Granted, her head is
smaller than mine, but it still didn’t fit. You know who it did fit
though?
Hershel.
And
ultimately it wound up fitting my good friend’s eight-year-old
daughter. Who, by the way, adores this hat. She even slept in it.
That pleases me.
