I have made so many of these hats, it is a great pattern. It is basic and you can adapt flower to it and dress it up or you can make it for a man... I use it when I make hats for the cancer place my sister goes too. I thank you so much for sharing and explaining...

After reading the comments above I feel as if I should interject... I felt comfortable with the pattern, but a few people had questions. It's pretty easy, but there were a few spots where people were hung up...I understand. Hopefully I can help clarify...

This pattern is good to fit my 6 and 8 year old sons. It may also fit my teen, but to increase the size I would do exactly as the author describes. When moving between the "Top" and "Bottom" portions of the hat construction, Just add another round or two of dc and sc as needed. For an adult, I'd probably add another 2dc and one sc before moving on to the author's "Bottom" instructions. From there, I'd keep all the same as written.

As to the concern over keeping the shape of the hat, the author clearly states that a less-soft yarn should be used. So I used a regular worsted weight yarn that wasn't labeled as super soft. It worked for me. "Baby" yarns should probably be avoided. I used Red Heart's Soft and it worked fine.

Many people got hung up on the author's "uniform increases". OK. So let's go from Rounds 18 to 19 where you are asked to increase from 66 to 70 sts. I divided 66 by four (because 66 + 4 = 70). So every 16 sts I did 2sc in the sc. Right? Makes sense. Then, when you go from 70sc to 80sc, I did 2sc in every 7sts. See? "uniform increases". No biggie. You cannot do all your increases in one sc or it WILL come out something like an "eyelet" as described in previous comments. Even distributing of sts is how to increase in a round.

Best of luck to everyone! I love this pattern. I will re-use it many times, I'm sure.

I do believe this is a good pattern however, it could have been explained better. Increments, 6 increments, what is that.

Hello !

I would like to know what kind of wool you used for that. I'm trying tu use a 100gr for 75m ball and it just doesn't seem right. And I don't really see how you can make 12 dc in a magic ring, aren't you supposed to take the fourth stitch of the chain to make dc ?
I'm really sorry I'm a little confused, hope you understand my problem ><
Thanks !

I want to knit this hat for my sister who is undergoing chemotherapy. I've been knitting for a long time but I've only been crocheting recently. Can you tell me what a "magic circle" is and what you mean by "dc" ? Thanks!

If you want the hat to be bigger add one more dc increment & Sc round here.
Can you explain this a little more? I can't tell if after the sc round, I do another dc round and then another sc round - I don't know how many stitches that would be and I'd be off on the rest of the pattern stitch count and round count. Apologies for my newbie-ness and gratitude for any clarification. ;-) It looks so cute!

I did this hat in 3 strands of baby yarn and found it a little soft, so I ripped back and eliminated the increases in two of the last rows. I did it in creamy off white and put a deep red ribbon around the base of the crown to adjust for size. Beautiful! Thanks.

Love this... Can't wait to make it.

Round 5, dc in 3 st, 2dc in next, repeat should equal 60 stitches but does not. What am I doing wrong?
