FO!

This hat threatened to be too small right up until the earflaps were nearly done and then suddenly it was unmistakeably too big.  I love the colors and the stitch pattern, though.

I clearly need to find someone with a big head who needs a bright hat.

Something tells me you won't have any trouble at all. That is a teh hawesome hat.

(teh hawesome = muy freaking cool!)

That's my knitting bugbear - I hate that you often can't tell how things are going to fit until it's Too Bloody Late.

Are you on Ravelry, sevoo?

I am on Ravelry, but I don't ever get around to updating anything, it seems.

Not a big head. Loooong head with big ears. :)

Ooh, really nice! My hats tend to turn out too big at the last minute, too. What's that about?

[sev]

I suspect it's because hats are round and heads aren't as regularly round. So those last bits that make it big enough also make the already-big-enough parts too-big.
