Making the hat bigger or smaller, 4 + 1, doesn’t that mean 5? Sorry, I’m confused ?
No, it means use a multiple of 4, then add one more ?
When making the band I measured it around my head. I started making it and I’m about 9 rows high and I’m noticing that my rows keep getting shorter. The weird thing is, even the band doesnt fit around my head anymore. So much so that it’s more toddler size. I think my issue may be with the crochet rows. I’m having a hard time figuring out where to insert hook around the pebble stitch. Any advice??? I’m an intermediate crocheter, this has me stumped with how much it actually shrunk.
Hi Holly, what do you mean by where you insert the hook around the pebble stitch? Do you mean in the solid sc rows? Make sure to insert your hook in the top two loops of the stitch. Here’s a photo tutorial for this stitch: http://www.hookedonhomemadehappiness.com/crochet-pebble-stitch/
Hope that helps!
What is the measurement before the hat is stitched together
19” for a small adult & 20” for a large
The direction given were easy to follow. I’m am anticipating for the finished product. I know I will enjoy this hat. Thanks for sharing the pattern.
You’re Welcome Ronni! ENJOY!
I’m currently working on this and have a bit of an issue. The pebble stitch keeps ending up looking kind of loose (meaning that the bottom stands of yarn are almost dangling down, away from the stitch), but I can’t seem to make the stitch tighter without getting the yarn tangled as I pull the yarn back through the 7 loops. Any tips to make a nice looking puff stitch without it getting caught? Using the same brand/type yarn.
I’m not sure. With any puff stitch your hook can get caught. Maybe go down a hook size?
Sorry, meant puff stitch!
What does blo mean?tara
Back Loop Only
How many do you chain in the foundation row for this?
You ch 6 to start
The band is not looking very long at 9.5 in. So I’m wondering who the hat is suppose to fit as it doesn’t say. Is this an adult size pattern or a child size please?
Hi! It’s an adult size. The hat will be 9.5″ across the front once the hat is finished.
What size is this hat. I want to make it for a baby, 3 months old.
It’s 9.5 inches across the bottom and 8.5 tall. It’s for an adult
Hi I completed the adult size of this hat and it was easy to follow the pattern. How many rows would you do if making for a toddler (2-3 yrs) and a 9-12 month old please?
Hi! I’m not 100% certain but my guess would be to make the brim about 11″ for a toddler and 10″ for a 12 mo old. Again, this is my approximation. Then the height should be about 8″
Hi there! How many yards of yarn does this project take?
I’m not sure of the exact yardage, but it uses less than one skein of Caron Simply Soft and that’s 315 yds.
OMG.. Just finished my first of what will be many of my new favorite pattern! Thank you so much for posting the written pattern.. Love It!!
You’re Welcome Chrissy! I’m glad you like it!
What does the back seam look like when the two sides are stitched together? On mine, it almost looks like I missed a puff stitch on the rows that start and end with two single crochets.
Hi! Yes, you can see the seam.
Good Morning! I just finished making the band of this hat and am moving onto the second part.
I am confused – please tell me if I am correct in my interpretation of your instructions – I am to do the band, then go across the side of the band for two rows and then continue using the Rows 1 through 5 instructions until I reach 29 rows total or are the 1st two rows included in the 29 rows?
Hi! The first rows are included in the count.
Thank you for getting back to me and for this great pattern! I made the hat and it looks great! My daughter loves it!
That’s AWESOME Stacey!
How much yarn would you estimate you used to make the teen/adult hat? 100g, 200g, 300g…?
Hi! It’s a little under 100g
