Hi :3 this is Cosmicbrambleclaw from Youtube, for some reason when I get to the part after my first round where I pull the string and it closes in on itself mine only closes halfway if at all so I'm left with a hole a bit smaller or larger than a dime

Can you help?

I used this instructable to make a hat for christmas. It was super informative and worked great, the only thing I would add is that, obviously, for larger heads if you are going to use a knit this tight you should increase your rows a little more and expect it to be a little snug. Thanks for the great instructable though! I have had so much fun making hats now.

The video has over 1000 views and is working. There have been some technical issues over at Youtube.
