Help Please:
First thank you so much for this adorable hat pattern. As we speak , I have crocheted the hat up to the birm where it says, “in this round when you sc you will be making the last two steps into one large stitch”. I have tried everything I can think of and can’t for the life of me figure this out. Am I suppose to sc into rows 1 and two or decrease over these stitches??? Can anyone offer me some suggestion as to how I should correctly following this step.
Thanks
Wendy
No decreasing. When you do this sc, your sc will go over both of the previous steps, making both stitches one stitch(the SC and the slip stitch will have the SC over them). It will be thicker and stronger. Does that help?
Thank you so much for the quick response. Yes, it certainly did help. I just completed the hat portion of this project and am working on the flowe.
What an adorable hat. Made it for my neighbour across the street. Looks very cute. Thank you for sharing your patterns.
Last night I stayed up working on this hat. I did make some corrections to the brim… It seemed I had wrote the first two steps twice :/ sorry everyone who had troubles with this pattern. It is fixed!
First, thanks for sharing this fabulous pattern! It is adorable! I’m at the part where I should start the brim. My question is, I have 50 stitches from making the hat portion, why do I DC 35 and then SC 20? That’s a total of 55 stitches. I’ve tried DC into 30 and SC 20 but it didn’t look right (that was my first attempt though). I then tried it as your pattern says, 35 DC and 20 SC. That didn’t look right and it forced me to SC past the beginning CH 2. Please help!
Are you at the brim? are you turning before doing the SC?
1. CH 2, HDC in next 35 stitches
2. Turn, Slip stitch in next 20 stitches.
Is this where you mean? With the HDC and SC? Make sure you turn after you do the 35 HDC
OHHH!! I see where you corrected the pattern now! I read your update and even checked my pattern against the updated version. I couldn’t figure out what you updated, but now I see it! I was still trying to SC 20 AND turn and slip stitch! Thanks so much!!
🙂 Would love to see the finished work!
I’m done with the hat and brim! I think it came out pretty good considering I’ve been crocheting for less than a year. Is there a way to send you the picture when it’s done (with the flower)?
You can always “like” me on facebook and msg me the photo or post it on my facebook wall 😀 https://www.facebook.com/stitch11page?bookmark_t=page
Hi! I love this hat! It came out sooo cute. Especially since I haven’t been crocheting for long. :-). I made it for a friend whose baby was baptized yesterday. Unfortunately it didn’t fit her head. :-(. Is there any way that I can make another in a larger size? Is there a trick like adding a few stitches to each round?
oh no! I have a couple other newsie style hats… You might try http://stitch11.com/newsie-with-fish/
I am on row 8 where it tells me to sc down the side of the brim and then hdc the other half of the back. But where does it tell me to sc down the other side of the brim?
It doesnt. You will end up slip stitching around the hat.
I think this an adorable hat, however how can I increase the size as my grand-daughter is 15 months old and her head is lager than the toddler patterns, the last hat was the size of teen.
Look forward to your respond
Here is my child size hat that has the same shape http://stitch11.com/duck-hat/

And this one still fits my daughter who is going to be 2 next month http://stitch11.com/the-most-adorable-duck-hat-ever/
hello
I am trying to do your pattern and by the way I am loving it!!!!! I am very new to the crocheting scene and i am not sure what to do….i am at ch2, hdc in next 35 stitches;
Turn, slip stitch in to next 20 stitches… are you saying to slip stitch in the line i just did?
slip stitch for your next row.. its the next step that you will stitch into that previous line. Its late… hope I am explaining well enough. <3 let me know if you have anymore questions.
I just made this hat today and I love how it turned out! Thanks for the easy tutorial. You can view it here: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/mmccallum28/the-chloe
It looks adorable!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank-you for such a quick and easy pattern. I made it for our grand-daughter whose name is Chloe so it could not be more appropriate. Your creation will I hope gather more compliments in Australia.
