Hi Chandrika! Hats are such trial and error. Margaret from Sheepishly Sharing taught me a technique for top down hats: to use hat sizing charts that gave both the circumference and the corresponding crown circle diameter for each size. Stop increasing when you have reached the crown circle diameter for that size. It really works! For the style of hat you did here, I agree with Lisa, go by measurements not chain counts. On the plus side, you can probably find a home for the extra large hats. Some people have really really big hair, and they want a slouchy look. So they will go for a hat that’s big enough to go over their hair loosely. Someone out there will appreciate it! I hope you have a great weekend 🌞
@@jayneholcomb4076 it certainly won't deter me! I love making hats. I must have made hundreds by now. Just have to keep what's working and don't give up!!

Don't beat yourself up... they are so cute and will find a home.
@smokeykitty6023 that's what I have to believe!! It's all part of the process 😊
This is why I don’t like doing hats.
