I watched the movie several times just to look a the knitting. I found the movie "Hillary and Jackie" the same way. The beautiful Fair Isle work and the beach scenes make for a great knit in movie! Thanks for sharing!

I've found the jump from when the pattern is every other row to every row hard to adjust to. The star motif went well, but the fuzzies at the top aren't going as well. Is anyone else having the same problem.

Doesn't the chart repeat once and then you're done with the hat?

Help! Please tell me how many times to repeat the chart! I have read the pattern several times. I would like to know instead of guessing.

Maybe your Adobe Version is outdated or possibly you have an older operating system and the two won't communicate. I recently had that problem saving my 2007 Microsoft Word homework and asking my 2003 laptop to read it. However,oI was able to open and print out the entire Fountain Hat pattern with 2003. Hope this can help Theresa D

I have had plenty of trouble with printing from downloads:
mitered heart sachet, Ultimate gift. white witch mittens, flip top mittens

all print a bout a page and 1/2, and hit some marker that stops the printing at about the top 15 page---?

PatD: I recommend what mom2goalies said-threading the elastic (fine elastic thread, not waistband elastic)through the back of the stitches after you complete the hat and find out it doesn't fit works great!

Bonnie-I think the model was wearing the smallest size with about 2" of ease. He was probably about 5'11". I'd recommend 2-4" of ease.

I loved this movie and I'm thrilled that it inspired this pattern. Thank you so much for providing yet another way for me to enjoy this film!

Hi Katie,
I love so many of your patterns. I am planning to knit your Organic Man sweater from the current Knit Scene. I haven't knit very many sweaters for men..can you tell me what size the model is wearing and what you recommend for ease on this project? Also, how tall is the model? Thank you!! Bonnie

To Pat D: to use elastic thread - just knit with the elastic and the yarn at the same time, being careful not to pull the elastic as you are knitting. Or you can knit the banding and then weave the elastic thread through the back side of the stitches, also being careful not to pull it tight, just make sure it does not show through to the right side. I often do this with cuffs on sweaters.

Instead of usign dp needles, use two circular needles. It is a fun way to knit.

Katie, You say in your Tips that elastic thread can be used to make the hat fit. How is that done? I have this trouble with hats.

I have trouble printing all PDFs made with Microsoft Word -- and I think these are too, since the printer says the file is "such-and-such.doc", not .pdf -- but that's a problem with the drivers for my printer (Ricoh Aficio). The problems I have are just as the others describe, though; I get a few pages but not the whole pattern. Or the pictures come out fine but the font for the words is all wrong (as in, it's RUNES) or blank chars. Perhaps the font chosen by Interweave is not accessible to many people's printer drivers?

I love this hat! My small group and I are making hats for the homeless and we bored quickly with the ribbed caps, so this will make a nice change. Thanks Katie!

Funny how a movie - such as "the Fountain" - can be inspiring even for knitting a hat!

How odd. I just downloaded the pattern and then opened it, in that order, with no trouble at all. Try again?
