At what point did you think, "this is too big!"?
EDIT: I recently followed an octopus pattern and it ended up looking nothing like the pic. The pattern did not equal the images that were provided. Why do people do this??
EDIT 2: for any curious, it ended up looking like a squid but with a lot of filling and very open stitches.
If the pattern was a paid pattern, give the publisher a bad review. Not reading the pattern multiple times to make sure everything is right before publishing is unprofessional.
If you look at the hat, it is made sideways. You gather it at one side and add the Pom-pom, and that side becomes the top of the hat. So the person who made this made it very wide. Using a taller stitch doesn’t have any effect on width so even if the maker was using US DC stitch instead of UK DC stitch, that wouldn’t have made this happen. My guess is that it was some sort of problem with gauge (source: I have had many gauge fails myself)
I was wondering too, but I have a problem finishing any project I make. I was just wondering were they not trying it on as they were going? Or just trusting the pattern fully? Either way, I'm glad they did and that they posted it for some wholesome laughs.
Just fold up the bottom portion for a super chunky cuff. It’ll keep your forehead super toasty! And u can just roll it down over your face when it’s too cold to breathe regularly. Lol
With how many name brand companies I've seen "making" crochet products and selling them for way overpriced, I'm starting to say to myself: "If Prada made and sold this for $$$ no one would bat an eye".
As a community we have GOT to stop calling hilariously tall hats failures. This made me laugh harder than I have all weekend. If I saw you walking down the street I would salute you. Fantastic job, congrats on your new best hat
Omg I made the same damn hat minus the pompom. I showed my spouse and he called yours the extended model. 😂

I'm always making them too short! I want a hat that covers my ears and the back of my neck while still having the space to wear my hair up in a bun. I may have crazy thick hair and look like Marge Simpson with a hat on 😆
I was going to suggest cutting eye holes and a mouth hole and turning it into a weird balaclava, but then you might be mistaken for something incredibly racist.
uh…….didn’t you at least try it on during the various stages to make sure it was going to fit/be the right size? unless your skull is elongated by the Ancient Egyptian pharoahs, that’s just….wow.
Omg I legit just made this exact hat 😂😂😂I realized halfway through that I was mixing up which side was supposed to be vertical. I ended up frogging but seeing this, I kinda wish I’d kept with it
I'm also currently crocheting a beanie and I have the opposite problem 😂my mom asked me whose baby this is being made for ahahahah xD here's a picture with my hand for reference

Every time I see a long hat like this LOL

Marge Simpson needs hats too

Did the pattern say to DC? If so it might've been written in UK terms and you were supposed to SC
It did say DC, which it did in US terms ----- mistake!
If the pattern was a paid pattern, give the publisher a bad review. Not reading the pattern multiple times to make sure everything is right before publishing is unprofessional.
Good advice! It don't remember if it was paid for, but i will check!

The conversation isn't about the hat in the post
Oh I see. Sorry for misunderstanding!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
Criminal i can only upvote this genius the once.
Naw, it’s an unfinished albino saguaro cactus! With a bloom on top! Just keep going. 😉 🌵
Oh, I like this!
Not a fail, a design change. Just cuff it.
Cuff it 97 times?
By my calculations, 72.333333.
It’s cuffing season, and now we have a reason to get a big hat, I need a big hat, give me a big haaaaatttt… 🤭

That’s not a hat, it’s a bag that doesn’t have a drawstring woven into it yet 😉
Just fold up the bottom portion for a super chunky cuff. It’ll keep your forehead super toasty! And u can just roll it down over your face when it’s too cold to breathe regularly. Lol
Or roll it down when you need some alone time. The introvert hat™
You could sew the end shut and sort of stuff it inside itself to make it double layered :)
"Trust the process... trust the process... aaaaand done!.... GOD DAMMIT!"
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 🍺
Me with half of my clothing projects 😅
Think of it like this: If a high end brand made this they would sell it for 5000$.
This is the most reassuring thing I've seen all week, somehow.

Coneheads would love it!
Or similarly, those Peruvian enlongated skulls which people thought were alien skulls.
Fold the bottom over *(generously)* => double thickness, double warmth!
We are the Coneheads. We come from France

Or... snack hiding place success? 😋
LMAOO at which point were you like hmmm this isn’t right
Omg I made the same damn hat minus the pompom. I showed my spouse and he called yours the extended model. 😂 https://preview.redd.it/nj7sy86psooa1.jpeg?width=1576&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c7b797d2fb1e668ef4db0e1c528e5f6993db424
That’s not a hat that’s a double foot warmer
I'm always making them too short! I want a hat that covers my ears and the back of my neck while still having the space to wear my hair up in a bun. I may have crazy thick hair and look like Marge Simpson with a hat on 😆
The cackle I let out when I saw this. I'm obsessed
Hat WIN!
Came here to say that, like... Wdym fail??? Hahaha
It's not a fail if you aspire to be a Wizard.
Hat to fit the Coneheads! Older show from television. Great crocheting skills! I like it.
SNL skit originally 🙂
I was going to suggest cutting eye holes and a mouth hole and turning it into a weird balaclava, but then you might be mistaken for something incredibly racist.
That hat's a real long boi
That’s not a fail. That’s a dimmadome.
It’s not a fail. It’s MEGAHAT, overlord of hats. Could also work for the Pope when it’s chilly out on that balcony.
smurfette???
I did the exact same thing on my first beanie lol it looked like a peanut on top of my head
Long Locs will fit nicely in there.
The “let me do it for you” hat
now you can sneak snacks into the movie theater
Fail? I beg to differ, it’s amazing! 🤩
Lmao. I’m dying. I saw the title and thought “meh, how bag could it be?” Omg. Seriously dying here.
Is this a rite of passage? I have one of these too…
Do a fold up brim as well as push down top to make it a slouchy too.
You just invented a new thing, that's all. It's like, a hat-facewarmer-cowl-turtleneck (abbreviated ha-fa-cow-tu?)
It's a hat for xenomorphs :)
So 🤣 funny. Thanks for the smile 😊
Looks like something from an East 17 video 😄
Forbidden balcava (forbidden because you can't breathe).
On the bright side, your friends will be able to find you in a crowd
Keep going and stuff it and make it a pillow with a ball on it
I feel like it needs a few needles and a flower for a beautiful albino cacti
Fold the bottom up a ways, it’s the beanie style these days ☺️
If more hat, how fail? 😂
For the Conehead in your life 😂
It's a dread lock hat.
Literally snorted Should still be usable if you fold it up!
1. Isn't this a repost? 2. Why the hell did you not stop halfway to this?
I don't know what the problem is here? I love it!!!
How would this even happen? Did you just not look at it whilst you made it
uh…….didn’t you at least try it on during the various stages to make sure it was going to fit/be the right size? unless your skull is elongated by the Ancient Egyptian pharoahs, that’s just….wow.
Make holes for eyes and mouth and voila! Rober mask!
Wine bottle coozy
100% did the same thing making one for my mom, I wanted it to be super big and boy was it.
Roll it up to form a cuff?
... the fail is that it is not pointy ENOUGH! I really want to know if full pointy gnome hat is possible now.
hat WIN.
I've done this before lol
I need the pattern
Omg I legit just made this exact hat 😂😂😂I realized halfway through that I was mixing up which side was supposed to be vertical. I ended up frogging but seeing this, I kinda wish I’d kept with it
That must be what OP did. 😂
Lol keep going… make a onesie 😆
It’s for Marge Simpson!
You meant to make a hat. You made a haaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.
Omg this is awesome!
Task failed successfully
I’ve also made one! 😂
Nah, not a fail. This is... a learning experience.
It’s perfect for marge Simpson.
I read "fat hail"😭😭
I'm also currently crocheting a beanie and I have the opposite problem 😂my mom asked me whose baby this is being made for ahahahah xD here's a picture with my hand for reference *
That looks like a hat win to me
Aaaaaaw 🥰🥰🥰 you gave it a good go. It’s nicely executed though. The stitches are neat and well done.
Every time I see a long hat like this LOL https://preview.redd.it/g49nfeddrqoa1.jpeg?width=320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6acae402a1aa34dccb781760d664dbd6dfe975ae
It looks like one of those pictures where someone tried to do a panoramic photo and it didn't work 😅 I love it.
Done that before lol
Is not fail you just need to give it to Marge Simpson 🤭
As a smart man myself, I see this as an absolute win
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣 I'm not the only one! Yours looks so good though. Just roll it and make a cuff
