Hi! This is for a child aprrox ages 5 – 10
Thank you for replying back. I ended up
using a G hook and did 3 rows of increases. I think it will be just about right.
It was a fun pattern to make!!
Thank you for sharing your talent ?
I would add a picture, but I’m not sure how to?
Love the look of this hat. How do you carry the yarn? Do you just crochet over and carry the tail through the double/single crochet or bring it straight up where you join and chain. Thanks for the help!
I bring it straight up when I join 🙂
Just finished my beeni hat nice and easy loved it Ann Nuthall
Thank you!
Hi. I love this pattern and would like to use it as part of a charity event that I am doing. (I would make the hats, then sell them to others and donate that money to a friend of mine whose daughter has cancer.) Would you be ok with that? I would 100% give you credit for the pattern and include a link to this page. Please let me know. And thank you for creating something so awesome!
Definitely ok 🙂
Hello
I am looking for an easy beanie hat for a man. I know all the stitches in crocheting but haven’t done it in a very long time. Do you have a free crochet pattern that will fit an adult man? Thank you in advance for your reply.
