A growing hat question
I finished a hat for my daughter this weekend (sorry, no pictures on this computer). It turned out great, and she loves it. So, that's the good news.

But, it's growing! It fit her well when I first put it on her. Now, three days later, it's drooping over her eyes. I've never had this happen before.

I used a Lorna's Laces superwash, and I've never knit with superwash before--could that be part of the problem?

Does anyone know how I can fix it? Obviously I can frog and re-knit at a smaller guage and hope for the best, but I'm hoping for another solution. Could washing it help?
