It was a cunning plan to turn a double flower wash cloth into a single flower baby hat that hinged on ending up with ten stitches per section. Eleven at most. I have twelve and I am honestly not sure quite how I miscalculated. My brain, it’s turning to mush. At least the flower’s pretty.

The problem is that last time I had twelve stitches per section it came out big enough for a 4 yr old, well nearly. I did actually rip that first flower hat back and reknit it with fourteen stitches per section. Now here I am with twelve again and I am a little puzzled, because really it looks like twelve stitches per section will be barely enough. Either my gauge has changed a lot or my eyes are deceiving me and it’s anyone’s guess which is more likely…
