    I don’t understand the instructions for Row 41. Do you fold it over?

      well, it kind of folds over on its own when you do it (bunches up.) Hope that help a little.

    Great site you have here Corina. I love this hood! I am pinning it to my things I wanna crochet board. This would be perfect for keeping heads warm in the winter time. It looks like it would provide plenty of coverage. 🙂

    Wonderful hat Corina..The colors are so eye-catching.
    I am trying to make one for my niece .
    I am just a beginner so it would be great if you mention the finished size(head size and length) and the gauge

    Thanks

      I do not have the hat anymore to measure it. I can tell you that it fit both my toddler and my niece who is 4.

      I would say it is a large toddler or small child size hat.

    I love this pattern so much! It’s adorable and extremely versatile, with just a few extra rows you can make it for older children, teens, and even adults ^_^

    Thank you so much for this Pattern! My three year old Granddaughter wanted a rainbow hat so bad. We searched everywhere for one. Thanks to your free pattern I’m making her one now. Very clear instructions. Thank you again, Teena
