Finishing & Assembly:
Sew both ears to top of hat as shown. Tie a knot at the base of each ear and pull firmly. Alternatively, you could leave ears unknotted and make a flop eared bunny hat. Sew Heart to bottom right side of front of hat. Weave in any ends that remain!
when you say "Repeat round 4 until hat measures 6 inches from beginning." do you mean the top of the hat to the base of the hat. or 6 inches in circumference? thank you. i love this pattern, but have no clue how big a new borns noggin is.
ReplyDeleteHi there! That just means 6 inches from where you first began...so from the very top of the crown to the bottom edge/brim. Hope that helps! :)
DeleteHi there, at the end of round 1 after making 11 dc, should you slip stitch to chain 3 or just continue onto round 2?
ReplyDeleteGreat question! You would join with a sl st to complete round...I added that verbiage above to make it clearer, thanks for pointing that out. :)
DeleteFor round four and following: how is chain three a double crochet? I seem to be getting a bulge in my hat when I skip that first space... any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteLove your videos.
What do I do if I want to make it a little bigger?

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteWhat do I do if my yarn is thinner? My yarn is not as fuzzy and I am unsure how to compensate.
