Two adult hats made by revising a toddler pattern

[JCB]

I made these two hats by upsizing this toddler hat pattern that was posted on the BICO CAL thread:

http://www.geocities.com/crochethut/babyswirls.html

My white hat was too small (too short) so I tried again with the plum colored one. That one was also a bit too short, so I added ear flaps.

Wow,,,great job!

[Catiebug]

Cool - I especially like how the colors on the plum one bring out the swirls!

They are both good hats but I like the one with the ear flaps best.

Yes, exactly. On the white one I did 40 chains, and upped it to 43 on the plum colored one. If I do another, I'll try 50 chains. I used whatever hook size the pattern called for. The circumference was easy... I just kept trying to put in around my head until it fit, then slip-stitched the two sides together. The ear flaps were done separately and then whipstitched on.

I LOVE the plum one, and from what I hear, Iowa is going to get hit with

C-O-L-D weather, I may need one of them!!
