Hat for me

I made this for myself

    About

    It seems to have turned cold a lot earlier this year and I cannot find the hat I knit for myself last year so I decided to make another. The pattern calls for "one pound" yarn (no idea what that is) and I am using chunky (because it is so pretty) so I may have regrets. I have downsized the needles in an attempt to knit a hat that isn't a zillion sizes too big for me and hope my thick long hair fills the rest of the extra space in the hat.
    UPDATE: My hat turned out well, it fits perfect and I very pleased with it.

      One pound yarn is generally 16 ounces of DK weight yarn

        Thank you for that explanation...I am still not sure what it means though. For example what I don't know is how much thicker is the yarn I am using compared to the yarn the pattern called for? It didn't say "needs one pound of yarn" it just called the yarn itself "one pound yarn". Anyway I will soon find out if using my yarn choice was a mistake or not as I am now finished the brim and should be done by tomorrow. Currently it doesn't seem as if it will be overly big so that is a relief!

        @Denyse K: UK :-
        DK - 8 ply
        Aran - 10 ply
        Chunky - 12 ply
        Super chunky - 16 ply

        US:-
        Weight 3 = DK
        Weight 4 = Aran
        Weight 5 = Chunky or Bulky
        Weight 6 = Super chunky or Superbulky
