How to Fix a Stretched Hat

February 23, 2018 Beginner, Crochet, Tips and Tricks

I don’t know what it is about people wanting to stretch hats!  I cringe every time my mom or sister pick up a freshly crocheted hat and stretch it out as far as it will go!  I mean with the “H – E – double hockey sticks” people! Put the hat down!!! It is NEVER going back into shape!!!!

Now yes, I realize that this isn’t the only way hats get stretched out but this is the one that literally makes me cringe.

On the other hand, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when a hat is so well loved that is simply stretched over time from being worn so much… that I applaud and that I will help you fix today.

 

All you need to do this is knitters elastic or elastic thread.  I recommend using clear – it won’t show and can be used on any colour hat!

You can do any number or rounds that you wish – one round will make a difference but I recommend at least 2-3 rounds to make sure it fits as snug as you would like.

 

The space between the rounds of slip stitch will be determined by the stitch height.

 

I like to do enough rounds that the elastic is approximately 1 inch up the hat.

 

 

I hope this helped be sure to let me know if you found this tutorial helpful!
