I should have known there would be trouble. The pattern had the words embiggen and unvented in it, red flags should have gone up. Just so you all know this hat started as a baby hat for a NEWBORN. Keep that in mind. The pattern is worked from the top down so I was pretty far in when I realized the problem.

Not to mention I was really liking the way it looked. Very cute, love this yarn, so warm and cozy, great color.

What's a girl to do when you realize the baby hat you're making is HUGE? There is suppose to be another inch and a half of ribbing on the bottom that I thought would make it more of a ski mask, embiggening the problem.
I can't bear to frog things. It hurts me! All that hard work and just rip it out, No way!

So, look at Ellie's cute new hat. For all the problems it really is a very cute hat, just not the size I thought I was making.

It's going to be so warm for her.

What do you guys think, do I need to add a bow or a flower or something to girlie it up? I can't decide. I love the color but don't want to have to tell people that she's a girl all the time.
Just a brief and sad note, I did have to frog a dress I was making for Ellie, because it was coming out way to small. Boo! Que Serra and start again.
Thanks for reading.

I love it. I vote for a flower to accessorize it. :)
I'm with a flower too, but in the same colour. The colour is just too nice!
I'm also with you on the anti-frogging. It does hurt. That is why I've fallen hard for crocheting. So much easier to fix up a blooper :)
