You could probably turn the failed hat into a knit project bag pretty easily. There are many patterns for it on Ravelry. If you don't like using cotton yarn and still have some in stash, you could use it up to crochet or knit a bag or bandana. There are some gorgeous free and paid for patterns as well. The vest looks great btw :)

thank you! yes when I feel like it, I’ll try to make something out of that wonky hat hehe

hi Mimi! I'm obsessed with the hat you made for your friend and wanted to try making one myself. Wondering if you could share what you did to turn this into more of a bucket hat look? And what kind of yarn did you use for this? thank youuuu

Hi Danielle, yes definitely! I used a recycled cotton yarn (quite similar to drops belle) and a 4 mm hook. For the bucket hat shape, when the hat reached the top of my ears, I repeated 2 rounds of the increase rows (the same as for the crown), that part has in total 6 rows. I hope that makes sense! Let me know how it goes :)
