I'm crocheting this hat...and it started out all right for the first few rounds (my first time crocheting in the round, ever). But now it's just like...the outside edges are too frilly, like each round is increasing by too much. But it says chain three, single crochet, chain three, single crochet, etc. Then the next round is supposed to be chain one, single crochet in chain three space, repeat....but it just looks so wonky! Do hats normally look frilly like that when you're making a hat, when the picture has it looking all smooth? Is it possibly a gauge issue? (I have one of the gauge-checking things but I'm not really sure how to check it). If this doesn't make any sense, I can scan the pattern and the hat...
