Thank you!

No, sorry I don’t
I just found this CAL a couple of weeks ago and am hooked! (no pun intended). It’s so nice that you do this every year. I’m making hats for the local cancer center and homeless shelter there. Thank you so much for helping me give back to the community!
Yay! Thank you!!
Another absolutely adorable hat for the donation box! I made mine in white. Next time I make this hat, I’m going to try making the “band” in a different color. Thanks so much for these lovely hats.
Thank you so much!! I think that would be so cute 🙂
I would love to make this for my granddaughter. How do I alter the pattern for a toddler 1-3 years old? Thanks in advance
Catherine
Hi! You can take out 1 or 2 increase rounds 🙂
Hey. I just saw this on Pinterest! Love this little hat… would be so cute for little girl. When you responded with take out 1 or 2 increase rounds…. does that mean at end? I’m pretty new to crocheting! If I wanted to make for toddlers/little girls(ages3-8/9) or so, which rounds do I need to skip?
Hi! In the first rounds where you are working 2 stitches in each round are increase rounds. For the 8/9 year old you can probably skip round 6. For the 3 year old I would skip 5 & 6 🙂
Really struggled with round 16 stitch of hdc 3rd loop
Me too! ☹️
Sharon, I think I figured it out. It’s not that you insert the hook into the loop behind the stitch under the top 2 loops and THEN do a hdc. Instead, you just do the hdc in a different place , i.e., you do the hdc in that 3rd loop (the one that sits in the back under the top 2 loops. Those top 2 loops are where you would otherwise normally do a hdc.) Summary: do the hdc in that back, bottom loop. Hope that helps.
Me too. ☹️ I insert the hook into loop behind stitch under top 2 loops per pattern instruction. That leaves me with 2 loops on the hook. Now what – how does one do a HDC if you already have 2 loops on hook instead of 1? Help please! What am I doing wrong? TIA.
