I have knitted several hats. They always turn out too big and I end up tearing them apart or giving them to someone that fits into them. But now, I have the solution!

10/28/2005 on episode 7 of Ghost Whisperer I noticed that the costume stylists chose an oversized hat for lead actess, Jennifer Love Hewitt.

They resolved the oversized issue by placing a broach (pin) on the front of the hat. I love it! Now I have another option for my hand spun wool. (Thank goodness for reruns and the info button.)

The old fashioned hat pin actually went through the back of a woman's hat and through the bun that she had her hair wrapped up into. Their hair was only washed once a week (no indoor plumbing.) They wore it long and would wrap it or twist it up so that it would be out of the way as they worked. By using a hat pin they resolved the issue of the wind. When the winds came up unexpectedly, the hat would help the hats stay in their place.
