Too many stitches per inch. Your stitch gauge is 51⁄2 stitches per inch, but you figure it’s close enough and keep going, and here’s what happens:

100 single crochet stitches ÷ 51⁄2 stitches per inch = 18 inches

Now your hat is too small!

As you can see, even a half stitch per inch difference in gauge really changes things. On the other hand, row gauge does not have to be spot on, and it frequently just can’t be matched, so don’t stress about it too much. Most patterns include a schematic (a simple line drawing of the finished item with measurements of each section), or the pattern directs you to work for a certain number of inches. You can easily add or subtract a few rows of stitches to get the correct lengthwise measurements.
