We're gonna need a bigger hat. I think.
But this seems to be about the right size for a toddler and not an adult. It kinda sorta can be shoved onto my giant head, but it doesn't stay - it pops back off.
I am also not super pleased with my floats. They need to be loser, I think. The stretches of 7+ stitches is not helpful.
So, while I think 11pm is a little late to start a second hat... I think I will wind yarn tomorrow to be able to hold two strands double for the hat. And maybe only go up one needle size. This fabric seems a little looser than I'd like.
I am also debating knitting a double-knit hat. But I am not sure how I feel about a black stormtrooper helmet. Would it look weird?
Digging through other project notes, I've knit a sock-yarn hat that fits my giant head with only 4 more stitches. And I used a size 2 needle for that - not a size 4. So floats are definitely an issue, me thinks.
I also think it is too short. So a few more rounds of plain between the colorwork sections, and maybe a second repeat of small spaceships above the stormtroopers?
*Han Solo, of course
