This is just what I was looking for - something simple and quick. Thanks!
Cute hat, thanks for the pattern! I'm due Oct 13th, so I know we're going to need a lot hats this winter. This is going to be perfect. :)
Just a note to say thanks for the free pattern… I like to do that when I come across such things from a real person. Of course a part of me knows every pattern has a creator, but names and contact info aren’t always at hand. In the interest of truth I suppose I should say I am rather compelled to send these notes, my Dear Old Sainted Mother was rather a stickler for thank you notes, and promised me a good old fashion haunting should I fail. I’m inclined to believe her, to my knowledge she only lied to me once, and that at about the age of three; she told me, strait faced, the fried green tomatoes she set before me was meat with seeds. I didn’t fall for the ploy; I was three, not stupid. John
Great pattern! Clear, easy to follow... worked perfectly the first time. Thanks!
Great pattern! Clear and easy to follow. Worked perfectly the first time even though I'm fairly new to crochet patterns. Thanks!
Thanks for these patterns! I am linking to my post on crochet!
Thank you so much for this pattern. This is exactly what I have been looking for so I can make hats to donate to hopspitals for newborns!!! THANK YOU!!!! I have been looking for a long time! :)
Thanks for pattern! Just what I was looking for! Worked perfect first time!
Cute and quick hat. Thanks for posting the free pattern!!
These are great patterns! Thank you for posting!
I do have a quick question, though. Are you using a G hook or a G-6 hook? I only ask because I followed the 7+ newborn hat and it seems that it would fit more of a 3 month head. It just seems so HUGE lol. Granted, it's been almost 2 years since my last newborn, but all of my kids were over 7 lbs. and the large preemie/5-6lb newborn hat looks like it would fit them better.
I think I used a G/6 hook. The hook size doesn't matter as much as gauge. As long as you use the hook size that gets the gauge, it will turn out to the same size as mine.
Just a side note: I used the sizing standards from Bev's Country Cottage for these hat sizes.
thank you so much for this pattern I love it and it is so easy to make up!
