Fixing Bowler Hat to a Beanie
My original idea was a bowler hat. But it ends up being too short, meaning not covering my ears. I decided to frog the brim of the hat. I reworked the edge by decreasing it to fit close to my head even though I used the wrong hook size. I completed the hat with a slip-stitch edge and the leftover yarn as a pom pom. Regardless, the hat covers my ears now and that was my main goal.
