Crochet this Women's Peak Hat crochet design. I was compelled by the brim and button to grab my attention. I was then looking at the stitches above the brim and absolutely adore the texture of this hat.
This hat can be dressed up or even just casual use. I think it's a really great design.

Hi Mikey!
This is going to be one of those someone asks you a question about what they did wrong in the hopes that you magically will know the exact answer...Fingers crossed the magic is real.
I was almost all the way done with this hat (all the way to where the brim portion starts) and thought I'd try it on because it seemed small. I couldn't even get it on my head (no, I do not have an abnormally large head). My guage seemed accurate and I'm 90% certain I was using #4 yarn. Also, my hat seemed to be more conical then yours in your video, even from the beginning it seemed to want to turn into a bowl where yours laid flatter.
I know I've done something wrong, but I can't figure it out! Any thoughts?? I've totally pulled it and am going to make a second attempt, but any ideas you have would be welcome!

I would increase your hook Sandra. As we begin to crochet a project, we can tense up or relax. Though your gauge worked when you started, you may have altered your tension without knowing. If your project is too small. Just increase your hook size. That's what I would do.

Thanks! I'll give that a try 🙂
