I definitely want to make this...it is in my (way too long) list! Very cute.

I love this hat!!  I made it for a friend of a friend, and now want one for myself!

I made two of these hats with a variegated faux suede yarn and they turned out very cute.  I did have to adjust the pattern a little to compensate for the yarn's heavier bulk, but it wasn't much of a change.  I simply made a couple less ch-2 sps in round one and followed the pattern the rest of the way.

Can anyone tell me what equivelant the wool is eg 4ply or 8ply

Thanks

Help!  I'm new to crochet and I'm learning the abbreviations and how to read them, but I can't decipher what something in this pattern means.  Can you help me?  

Could someone spell out exactly what this means....

sl st in 3rd ch of beg ch-5 to join ---8 ch-2 sps.

I understand slip stitch in 3rd chain of beginning.....but then I get lost.

TIA!

8 ch-2 sps

that just means you will have eight chain 2 spaces once this round is complete.  It is there to help you use your crochet as a guide to knowing where you are in the pattern and to keep you on track.  If you end up with nine chain 2 spaces you will know that something is off and you can fix it before you continue with the next round.

Hope this helps.

I usually detest wearing hats of any kind, so I decided to make this. The entire time I was crocheting it, I'm thinking, "Who is going to be the recipient of this crocheted hat?? Hmmmm, Mom? nope the hat would have to be a perfect match to a winter coat. Elsa (sister)? nope, she lives in Houston. Jonathan (my brother)? A varigated yarn with pink and purple (with other colours as well), nope."

Well, well, well. When I was done, I, as in me, tried it on. (twirling on tiptoes around my house) I loved it on me!!!! I wore it nearly every day after I made this--back in March or so.  Niow that the weather is cooling, I may have to make a bunch of these to match my outfits, or wear out the one I made. Don't quite know what I'm gonna do yet, but I DO know I'm going to be wearing it again!!

Hope I made y'all smile!

Does anyone know where I can find a "head mannequin" for a cap I'm designing? I've doneall kinds of searches, checked Rio Grande and other websites but all they seem to stock are mannequins for necklaces; the ones with heads have only partial heads (not useful to me).

Or if anyone has a mannequin head that they'd like to sell, as long as it's in useable condition, please send me a picture and we can discuss details like price.

I'm looking for a medium-size head mannequin.

Thanks.
