knittingHi everyone!
I made this Boyfriend Hat out of a wool-blend yarn (75% acrylic/25% wool, since I'm sensitive to wool) & would appreciate some ideas on how to block it so it gets nice & slouchy. Right now the decrease section sticks up from the body of the hat like a nipple on a baby bottle. It needs blocking anyway to even out that section (2x2 rib into 1x1 rib), but I can't get my head around a good shape/form to use.
Sorry if this is too vague, I'm having trouble getting my head around the explanation too. TIA for your help!
