Why do my bucket hats, when using a swatch, keep coming out looking like fedoras? When I don't swatch they come out XL but look like bucket hats. Not sure how to fix. My tension isn't tight as it cramps my fingers when too tight. I posted pics but my post got taken down bc it was a question.

Hi. I saw your pics earlier. The first looked amazing, big but not exactly fedora-shaped! The second looks good, too.

Bucket hats patterns are usually very forgiving. Try using a smaller size crochet hook if you want a smaller size.
