What is the color of august sun hat
Hi! I’m sorry! I don’t remember! It was yarn I grabbed from my stash.
Hi Breann, It’s me again, Patsy Tidd…LOL…..I’m attempting to make the August Sun Hat right now, but,….I am on round 12 and the crown diameter is approx 6″ already….all I have is a round circle, So, even though my hat diameter is approx 6″ already, at finished row 11 should I continue on and do round 12, 13, 14, won’t that make the hat too big, or not? I don’t know where to go or what to do? If you can advise me, that would be wonderful, thank you, I appreciate it. I’m having so much fun. I’m learning from you.
Hi! If it’s already 6″ then you could stop increasing 🙂
Hi Breann. I’m Rogerlene (pronounced like Lynn) l wanted to ask if l could use another stitch other than the crab stitch to finish the sun hat?
Of course! You can finish it however you’d like 🙂
