ADORABLE!!! I knit/crochet “Caps for Cancer Kids” and send to St. Jude’s. Glad to have a new pattern to use. Thank you, God Bless and stay safe. ?
Thank you!
I think there is a typo in round 10-17 I assume body is bpd?
bpdc means back post double crochet
My ribbing just does not look like the picture. What is the secret?
Hi! I wonder if you are doing front loop, instead of front post 🙂
Me too!! I’m not doing something right. I’ve made two of these hats. The bottom part doesn’t look like everyone else’s. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong…..geez
OH, I just saw this on youtube …..oh, I think I get it. The post not the loop. I gotta make another one and see. This will be the third hat, hope I get it right.
Breann,……….Me too!!….I’m not doing something right. I’ve made two of these hats. The bottom part doesn’t look like everyone else’s. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong…..geez I saw this from you…..” I wonder if you are doing front loop, instead of front post”….huh?….I am doing front loop, what do you mean?….front post?? Is there somewhere I can see a video of you doing this stitch?
Thank you Breann!
I love this pattern. Turned out awesome!!!
Thank you so much!
This is a wonderful beanie pattern. The front and back post DC was a little tricky to learn, but now that I have it down, it’s my new favorite stitch. Adds so much to the beanie.
Mine came out so well, I’ll be making more!
Thanks for some beautiful patterns.
Thank you!
