One key point to mention is to make sure that your sizing matches hers. If you are using 5 mm yarn, your hat is going to end up bigger than hers if you solely focus on the number of rows you do. Instead, pay attention to the width and height measurements she has listed.

Extra Information-

If you feel as though you need another tutorial that covers the entirety of the frog bucket hat, here’s one; however, she does not go in-depth with certain things, therefore, it is not beginner-friendly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK-TkND5hs8&t=475s 

That is all. This frog hat is super cute and the perfect accessory to add to your wardrobe. I hope you had a fun time making it.
