I think I made the world’s longest hat.
No joke. It’s really big.
It’s an Antler Hat from tincanknits. I thought I followed the pattern, but something happened.
The hat on the right is a normal, long-ish beanie that I made for my husband. The hat on the right is the one I just knit up. It’s like twice the size!
Even if I fold up the brim, it’s so long!
I look like a silly gnome when I wear it.
I need to rip out the crown and take out a couple pattern repeats. After all, the pattern is absolutely gorgeous, and looks great in my Tosh DK. It’s just too long. Look at that great cable!
I feel like I’ve been on a streak of not-quite-correctly finished knitting projects. Oh well, it just means I have more knitting to do!
On the Needles 
could you instead rip out the ribbing and the first couple of repeats? You would then be able to get a better idea of finished fit…..
I like that idea- but it’s knit from the bottom up. I always hesitate to rip out knitting from the “wrong” end.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa!
I have made this hat three times. You did not make a mistake – following the pattern exactly does leave you with a very tall hat! (ErinJoelle on Ravelry)
Phew! At least it’s not just me
