This past month I crocheted and felted four bucket hats and not one of them turned out to be the right size for the little girl I was hoping to gift it to.
On the bright side, I feel like a crocheted bucket hat & felting pro (except for the whole sizing aspect obviously).
At least Kit has a new hat to keep her warm.

I love them. I wish I crocheted better!
That is amazing! I can’t believe the difference with before and after the felting!

They turned out SO cute, even if none fit. I love the flowers on them. I’m sure you’ll find someone who would be thrilled to receive one as a gift.
Do you want to sell them?
I was looking for felted flower patterns and happened upon your site. I see that you used the lion brand patter for the flower but what is the pattern for the leaves in the hat? They came out adorable!

I searched for a leaf pattern for a while but never really found one so I just made it up as I went along. It was a chain that I built upon on both sides using taller stitches in the middle and shorter stitches on the ends to gets the right shape. Sorry I can’t be of more help! Good luck!
So cute! I got a Kit doll for Christmas, so this will definitely come in handy.
