Over blocked or missed my gauge, who knows but this was too much. It was frogged for it’s sin.

I discovered that my most spectacular knitting fails have no picture evidence… The one that bums me out, I could have sworn I took a picture, a failed unicorn horn. I knit a unicorn horn to attach to a hoodie and wanted to have the spiral up the horn. I knit the horn, threaded yarn around through the stitches, and pulled it to create the 3D effect. The tip of the horn looked very NSFW.

    Did you use the same yarn the pattern called for? Yours looks like a chunkier yarn with less drape which would definitely effect the fit.

      No, I was trying to use up some left overs. I tried again with fewer stitches and it gave me the fit I was after.

    Definitely seems like a gauge issue. It should essentially be a tube that stretches a bit to fit on your head for it to slouch like that, if it’s any wider it will mushroom like you said.
