Shrinking Knitted Beanie

[Cassidiiaa]

Hi all! My second knitting project EVER, I decided to only ~loosely~ follow a pattern. Needless to say it’s way too big.

Does anyone have any success shrinking Caron Simply Soft Yarn? I have tried hot steam, blowdryer, etc. Not sure how it will fare in the dryer but willing to try it if someone has had success with it. Anything to avoid frogging.

Gosh, first wash in hot water, and dry on high BUT inside a mesh/lingerie bag. Check dryerv every few minutes,
Sometimes, this works, sometimes not,

I will try this! Thank you for the help!
