can someone tell me what on earth I am doing wrong?
I have tried 3 different patterns now, multiple times.
I always do the gauge first (which always tells me that my stitches are too tight and i always end up going up a hook size) but somehow one of 3 things happen:
1) the hat comes out very small. (maybe I have a big head!)
2) the stitches get all knotted up (using chenille and cotton double strands for the easiest beginner hat in my beginner hat book!)
3) I can't get 24 DC stitches in the 4ch loop to even get started right.
can someone point me in the direction of a true beginner hat pattern so I can get over my anxiety about trying to get one right!
