Thanks to everyone who sent a picture and the nice comments on my pattern. I love seeing the pictures of the hats and knowing my pattern is being used by many other crocheters out there!

That's a great idea! I would love to know how it turns out.

Sweetiesgirl, your grandson is so precious in his new hat!! I'm so glad you were able to get use from this pattern. I find this hat is a favorite for the new daddy's :) Thank you for sharing your pictures!

You could try using a larger hook or a thicker weight yarn. This hat really stretched quite a bit as well, the doll has a circumference of 15". You can always add more rows to make it longer to compensate for the stretching. BTW congrats on your new grandson

I've made many ballcaps using a light weight baby yarn, however I wanted to use a worsted weight yarn. I adapted the pattern to compensate for the different yarn and wanted to share the end result. I haven't had this pattern tested, hopefully it is clear and error-free. Please contact me if you find any problems with it or have difficulties understanding the directions.

My Aunt taught me how to crochet at around age 8 but I didn't know the names of the stitches I was doing or how to read a pattern. When I was in the 6th grade I had the opportunity to join a crochet club and was taught how to read patterns as well as abbreviations and a variety of stitches. I've been crocheting for over 30 years now and am still learning new techniques and stitches from books, internet and magazines. Crochet has really grown since I first started out.
