I frogged (knitting slang for completely ripping out a knitted project) the first Bobbi hat while reknitting it on a smaller needle.  The density and sizing of the hat looks much better.



The sides are shorter so I don't know if they will cover Lizzy's ears, but at least the hat is finally done!



The pattern had called for a heavy worsted weight yarn and I think the Cascade 220 knits up more as a light worsted weight yarn.  If I finish all my other holiday knitting projects and can find a heavy worsted in light blue, I might knit the hat again.  But don't count on it.
