    Absolutely! The first hat I knit I tore up twice because I made mistakes. Counting to 3 is hard. And in the end I couldn’t wear it because I chose a cast-on that couldn’t stretch enough and it wouldn’t fit over my head.

    If you’re interested, I can recommend Maggy Rigetti’s book “Knitting in plain English”
    Great book for beginners and seasoned knitters alike.
