I guess there is a reason that there are knitting patterns. I clearly didn't follow one this time. I tried to just make a larger baby hat to fit an adult head and went OVERBOARD. Look how huge this sucker is...
It could fit a giant. Literally. Oh well, the good news is that I got real good at working with two colors which was an accomplishment for me!
I've made a couple like this, too! Only usually mine are too small for anyone but a pinhead. Ann Budd has a book that features formulas for how to make all sorts of things (hats, gloves, mittens, socks, sweaters, etc.) in all sizes (baby to big man) based on your gauge swatch. Can't tell you how many times I've used that book!
