Question
jlcgrandma
I’m no expert but I thought I was past beginner level until ...... da da daaaa (creepy music). I had a stroke in January and find this activity great for my brain & overall well being. Since stroke day I’ve crocheted over 100 American Girl outfits to distribute every young girl I know it seems from Grandma Phyllis..... at least a dozen blankets, several pillows, hats & scarfs and a few stuffed animals. I always purchase patterns, firm believer in rewarding creativity.
So that’s by backstory - here’s my problem. I purchased a pattern to make an adorable football hat for my nephew. I can’t seem to get a cap like the picture on the pattern. I keep getting almost a pillbox looking hat and because it’s for a young child I can’t try it on. I’ve switched hooks 3 times. The pattern has at least 8 varied sizes from newborn to xl adult
attached is the pattern I purchased and my hat which according to instructions is only 2 rows from completion but no where near a cap and no response from email sent to where I purchased pattern from
can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? I’ve crocheted troll hats, cabbage patch hats, slouched beanies .... I’m bewildered
