Melanie, this is so incredibly adorable! I'd love to make it for a friend's baby, but I was hoping you could tell me what size it works up to, and if possible, could you please measure the stitch gauge? The baby will be 4 1/2 months old at Halloween time.

[mama24boyz]

iT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION EARLIER THAT i HADN'T PUT IN A SIZE AND i MEANT TO FIX THAT, BUT, OOOPS, SORRY. iT FIT PERFECT ON MY 18 MONTH OLD LAST YEAR, BUT BECAUSE IT IS SO STRETCHY, IT ALSO FIT GREAT ON MY 3 YOS. i DON'T HAVE A GAUGE SWATCH AND DON'T HAVE THE HAT, BUT i HAVE BEEN MEANING TO MAKE UP ANOTHER ONE FOR SOMEONE, SO WHEN i DO THAT i CAN TRY TO DO A GAUGE SWATCH, BUT i HAVE NEVER MEASURED GAUGE BEFORE, SO I HOPE i DO IT RIGHT.

 

bUT i AM PRETTY SURE THAT IF YOU JUST USE A SMALLER HOOK, YOU COULD EASILY MAKE THE HAT IN A SMALLER SIZE. iTS VERY....ELASTICY? (tHATS NOT i WORD, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT i MEAN)

 

Oooops, just noticed Caps lock, sorry I wasn't yelling. lol

 

I hope you try it out and Post pics. And let me know if I can be of any more help.

Cute pattern!! I'll have to try that sometime (when I get some orange yarn).

 

I wonder if you could use red and crochet a leaf instead of a spirally thing and make an apple hat.

 

Thanks for the cute pattern!!!

[yarncat]

Quite cute!Thanks!!

[mama24boyz]

OK guys, I'm so sorry and I vow to always use pattern testers from this moment!!!

 

After a few questions, I've tried to make my hat again following the pattern and noticed a big mistake. I've fixed it in the pattern now and will continue making it to make sure it all goes smoothly and let you all know. I'm so sorry to any of you who have already printed it out and tried, getting frustrated!!

 

I hope you can try again and come out with good results and post pics!! Sorry, sorry, sorry!!!!
