Ahh!! What did I do wrong?

[Butterflymama3]

So I followed Judy74's pattern perfectly(Or so I thought ~lol)
**Judy74 the pattern rocks ,it's the only one I've been able to understand so far. **
Well It looks great BUT it turned out like a flat round instead of a hat.
This is the 1st thing I've done so I'm sure I've missed something.

Anyone have any advice?
If all else fails I use it as a "lovey' for my 3 year old or just start all over with a new one.

[Butterflymama3]

Sure

**Here are the pics**(No laughing ~LOL I just started last night)

[Butterflymama3]

Ahh.. Ok .
I thought I must have missed something somewhere.
I'm off to you tube to start a brim then I guess. LOL
Thanks for the help.

[Butterflymama3]

See I'm glad you are on here because these are the things I dont know. LOL
I'll go longer and then work from there.

[Butterflymama3]

Thanks
So my husband is laughing now and saying if I had only made it alot smaller I could have used them as crochet nursing pads. LMBO!!
What a thing to say.

What kind of yarn and size needle are you using? If you are using an acrylic, i would suggest a bigger hook. I highly suggest using cotton. It makes better hats I think.

Judy I have absolutely NO IDEA!! I think I lost count somewhere and then just kept going. (Dumb I know) as far as the yarn this is bad but I dont remember that either. I just ran to walmart and bought "red Heart" brand( I think that's what its called) I'm going to try to just start all over this weekend when my kiddos are alot more quiet and I dont have as many interruptions. The one I finished last night ended up being big enough to use as a crochet basket liner. LOL

Mine looks like hers too - that's why I was asking the other day if I needed to add more rows...
