  6. @crystina and betts....for row 2 of the pattern it says to "round 2 and all even rounds" are you doing this round again after every odd/increasing round? this is where the length comes from in the pattern...Hope this helps. I made one this morning and had no trouble.

  11. Is there any way to use this pattern for my baby on Christmas this year? In size 9-10 months or would I have to shrink the pattern?

  12. Not sure what I did wrong but I ended up with a hat that was HUGE! I had to put a ton of decreases in once I started the white part just to try and make it small enough to wear. I used the right hook and thought I followed the instructions correctly so I'm not sure where I went wrong. Mine didn't even fit an adult much less a child.

  16. I just found your pattern. Thank you for sharing. I am going to adapt the pattern to fit my husband and add it to a ballcap. I bought him a ballcap Santa hat before and he loved it until it was no longer useable.

    1. Every even # row, you do 1 dc in each stitch around. The odd # rows are where you increase.

  20. Can this pattern be adapted to fit a adult? I love it

  21. How do you size for adults and children?
    The instructions look like a one size fits all but I'm sure it isn't.

  22. Has anyone ever gotten responses to their questions on here?

  23. I would like for it to be longer to have more of a fold over. Any thoughts on how to do this? Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Why not just do each even numbered row twice before going on to the next odd numbered row?

  25. Hi, thank you for this, however I do so much better following a video than I do with instructions. Do you happen to have a video of this?
    Thank you.
