this is really so sweet; I'd really like to make one for my two year old. thank you for posting. great to have you back again!
So cute, I make alot of hats for my nephew hope others do too! Any ideas for boy 1st birthday feb 13 birthday?
Are you asking for ideas for a hat? What's he into?
Round four is a little confusing. Says dbl in next sts and 2dbl in the next st. Think it should say dbl in next two sts and 2dbl in the next st.
Cute pattern.
I think I fixed it, the first Ch 2, counts as first dc.
I haven't crocheted for 20 years, so I take every little thing literally, as I fumble along. Sometimes I can't tell if it's me or the instructions. It's usually me:) My hat is turning out really cute. Thanks for the pattern.
