Can this be made for a child? hat would the changes be?
ReplyDeleteI have not made a child size version, but I would stop increasing a few rows early depending on how small the child is...I'll have to work up a child size version and include the changes in this pattern, thanks for the suggestion.
Deletechild size changes are included in pattern now in brackets! Let me know how it turns out. :-)
DeleteI have a little bigger head than the head you show here, so I enlarged it to 17 rows, and continued the rest of the hat. I have some hair issues. I love how this helps with them. I love the recount of the vintage time in this hat. Thank you for such an awesome hat, it looks terrific.
DeleteThank you fir the compliment! Enjoy!
DeleteAbout how much yarn does this call for?
ReplyDeleteYes, please give yardage/# of skeins.
Deleteappx 108 yards. The yarn balled up is about the size of a softball.
DeleteThis is a very sweet hat and would look darling with some ribbon weaved through the row next to the ruffled brim....I may try that. thank you for sharing the pattern...it is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI've thought that too! I'd love to see it if you do it :-)
DeleteAS a former craft writer, may I offer a suggestion. When creating, it's difficult to keep track of yardage the first time something is made. You can get an estimate by weighing the article after it's finished. That's a great help for those of use who want to use yarn from our "stash". I'm going to try making it with an F hook so that it will be a trifle smaller for use as a 'chemo' cap.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
thanks for the suggestions! I tore one apart and it was appx 108 yards, the ball was about the size of a softball.
DeleteLove love this, making matching ones for my girls and I :)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely!
Deletei am a new crocheter and would like to ask a question what does it mean on this pattern where you have in the bracketssc in next 5,2sc
ReplyDeleteyou would stitch a sc in the next 5 stitches, then put 2 sc in the one after that. This increases the diameter of the hat incrementally. Hope this helps! Please ask if you need more clarification.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute for a spring or even a summer hat! Maybe with a ribbon...I'll be making this one!
ReplyDeleteI think it would look great with a ribbon! Go for it :-)
