hello everyone! my mom recently got some uarn she really liked and asked me to make her a beanie and ear warmers from it. it’s bernat blanket yarn, and my biggest hook is 8mm. i attempted to make the beanie today, but it turned out like wayy too small. small enough for my younger brother (who’s not even 10) what should i do? does anyone have any patterns for a beanie i should use? i could really use some help here. thanks!

I have this same problem everytime I make beanies. I usually make rectangles and then sew them. Is that what you did? Recently I made a beanie starting from the top, which I found easier. It was harder to make the size right when I did the rectangle. I recommend starting from the top.
