The Bee Shoes was my first (albeit simple) intarsia, and the hat the first made-to-measure. The hat is unfortunately not at all what I had in mind. I wanted something more form-fitting, and probably should have used the Top Knot hat pattern and adjusted it for gauge. If I were to make the Bee Shoes yet again, I would switch up to 3.00 or 3.25mm needles. The bound-off edge that forms the ankle opening needs to be more elastic.
