OOOO.. i hate decreasing on hats too!! I hate DPNS... So normally when i get to the decrease part.. I ML.. Or just suck it up.. lol

I need to knit this NB hat to match the longies.. I ran out of trim yarn when i was almost done last night and frogged the whole thing.. i was cussing while rolling the ball and my DH was laughing at me.

What size are you making Em? I did the 18-24 mos on 12's with no problem. I havent made the smaller ones though (and I hate DPN's too).

Im making the 12-24 mo. I just assumed bc thats what it said in the pattern. I cant remember how many stitches on are there... Im also knitting it with madtosh dk, which is pretty light weight. Im getting 5.5spi on 5s.

I will never make my kids hats. OK, maybe I will, but ill put up a fight. I made Piper a HH last year and wanted to poke my eye out. This hat is for a yymn to match some longies I did for her. And I have another hat and the very end of my customs list to match a gift wrap romper. But those are both nb. The hat Im doing now is basically a small adult, but its for a toddler, hes just got a big noggin lol

I always use 2 circs instead of DPNs. Its similar to MLing, but I don't have needles that are good for ML.

[PipersMomma]

i tried the 2 circ method once before too but there were too many needles for me lol. Which is why I hate dpns. Too much stuff to keep track of.

Here's a pic that was posted in my wahm thread. She wanted me to make it bigger so that it would fit longer. So she sent it back and I *thought* I made it bigger. I made it in the next side well I guess now it doesn't fit. So the mama doesn't want to deal with resizing. Which is understandable but im just bummed.

[PipersMomma]

it doesnt fit like its too small, or it doesnt fit like its too big?

[tiffybear01]

Like its too small. The original fit perfect, she wanted it a Tad bigger so I did what you do to make it bigger and now its too small. I don't know story of my life right now
