Awesome!
thanks so much for doing this video I have often thought there had to be a way to do this but never sat down like you did and figured it all out. thanks again.
You're so welcome! Thank you for giving it a try!
great video!! thank you. You are so clear with your instructions -- perfect
Thank you, Helen. :)
This hat is exactly what my son wants! Perfect video for this beginner. Thanks!
Thank you for making this video. I love the simplicity of the pattern and simple beauty of the hat. Hats are my favorite item to knit.
That made my day!
Love your ear flap hat! Great project to keep everyone cozy and warm! 💖
That means so much to me coming from you, Kristin!
Love your video and website, you are so organised and logical. I love it! That's exactly how I love to work. You just made my first 'Ear Flap Hat' a breeze!! Subscribedbwith thumbs up, added to my favourites and library in 'Ravelry' and 'Knit Companion'.
very cute hat! i love the story in the beginning
Thank you! The competition is still ongoing...:)
Awesome tutorial.. You were so easy to follow.. Love the hat..Thank you for sharing.
Great video..easy to follow. One suggestion, my adhd finds the background (your cutting mat) pattern very distracting. But I learned 2 things I didn't know from this one video! The invisible join and estimating your cast on length by simply wrapping on the rt hand needle-BRILLIANT. I have only been knitting year but gosh I wish I had known that before! Esp before my first sweater, lol.
This video is brilliant for my Cosplay Bodi from Rock Dog, but different color
This is great, how do you determine number of stitches to make the child size hat?
I would Love This in Adult
What size yarn to use?
How to decrease top hat?
Ilove your instructions! My only wish would be to zoom in a little closer to your work, I'm old lol.
How do you decrease? And for a regular hat when do you start decreasing usually (around how many inches form the bottom)?
this looks amazing! you probably wont reply since I'm 2 years late but I hope you see this and know that I cant wait to make one!!
I saw this today, and I want to thank you! I really hope you try this and keep warm.
I have circular needles but no double pointed needles. Can I do the earflaps with regular straight needles? It doesn't look like you use the other side of the needle.
How would adjust for smaller heads? What was your stitch count for the child's hat for each segment of the hat?
Did you do swatches to figure out the gauge?
I want to make a hat for a child but hate doing swatches to measure.
You may want to change in your description that the pattern is not free as your site says it costs $7.50. Just so no one is mislead. Love the hat!
Gorgeous yarn, great pattern. BUT it’s too small for my adult son with big curly hair. Could you recommend how to make it bigger and a bit slouchier??? Thanks so much. I love it!
I think it depends on what yarn you are using, and the diameter of your son's head. Measure his head and don't snug the measuring tape up too much. If you need another inch, then add an extra stitch or two to each section, front, back, and ear flaps (again, depends on your knitting gauge). The decrease sections will become apparent as you work them. I think if you want it slouchier, you could stick to the original decrease directions if you add extra stitches at the beginning, and it will naturally be slouchier.
What sizes knitting needles did you use
When do you start decreasing?
Begin decreasing when you believe that the hat should begin to shape; its a personal choice! Some people like their hat to be slouchy, others for it to form-fit to the head. That being said, allow approximately two inches for decrease rounds.
Thanks so much.
It looks like you have seventy some stitches is that enough for an adult hat?
Yes. I have a 21" head, and the 72 cast on stitches and the 18" circulars provided just the right fit for me with the Cascade Eco Duo yarn.
all I have are sixteen inch circulars so will give it a try thanks again for all your time in figuring this out! @@snowyowlknits4009
@@lindamcneely So, I realized after buying two sets of Addi circular sets (one with the 5 inch needles, and the other with the 2 1/2 needles, that the cords in each set are either shorter or longer depending on the set, and so I can mix and match to get the length I need. If you have a 20" set, that might work, or you could do magic loop. Good luck!
Would you consider writing a pattern I could print?
Later today my web master is going to load the pattern onto my website. I hope you enjoy it! I ended up doing some more gradual decreases than I mentioned in the video, and was really pleased with it.
