help on hat pattern im making?

hey all :waving_hand: I’ve recently been working on this pattern for a hat and the stitches just aren’t tight/close enough for me, not matter how much I increase my tension, or do whatever I can think of to make it tighter. also, is I figured out a way to do this, how would I write it? any help appreciated

(note: I know I disappeared….we don’t talk about it)

I’m using my smallest possible for the yarn, its a worsted yarn and the hook is 1.5mm but there’s still crazy holes between the stitches

Maybe you could put a liner in it? Are you doing SC?
