Hi again. I tired again with a Bernat chunky soft yarn which I think us 2ply chunky. I used a J(10/6.00MM) hook. Is the yarn still too small? The hat came out wide but short. I tried it on my 5 month and the circumstance fit him but was really short. Should I be getting a different yarn?

[mikeyssmail]

@Bobeba80 well the yarn is right and your hook is right......the size you made and the sz the pattern makes is for a newborn thats why it doesn't fit your 5 month old........if you want it to fit him or that age and the width is right but not the length you can just add rows..... instead of stopping with the pattern keep doing 1-? more rows around to get the length you need.......good luck......chanel :)

What type of yarn? I tried a J hook and my hat was sooo tiny. I was using baby soft 3 ply.

[mikeyssmail]

@Bobeba80 mikey doesnt say but if I had to guess I think hes using a chunky yarn here which means it would be a 5ply ..I think even a 4ply would work but your 3 ply yarn is definitely why the hat came out so small.... you could try doubling up your 3 ply yarn(use two strands of the same yarn at the same time) which will make the yarn a bit bulkier but because its a little bulkier that will make the hat come out slightly bigger....hope this helps.....chanel @ mikeys helpdesk........ :)

@beadoholic -- I am brand new to crocheting and this was my very first hat! I was wondering though how to make it bigger and I was also wanting to put the shell on the edges. I got an idea of what you did from your comment, but do you happen to have any more detailed instructions? Thanks in advance!

Oh my that is utterly gorgeous! I'm hooked (heeheehee). Just adorable. Thank you. x

[beadoholic]

I watched this couple times, & made it little bit larger! I single crocheted after 1st row of clusters so it could double, end up with 21 on next row, kept going around & added 3 rows & ended it same way you did only I put shell on tip all the way around. It is beautiful in pink, it is so fun to play with your clusters, thank you so much!

Hi Mikey!

What a pleasure it was to crochet with you today. Bet you didn't even know you were right here with me did ya? This video was AWESOME! After making 7 of these babies today I am off to find another project of yours. Maybe I can find something on yo-yo crochet?

Thank you again!

I was wondering if there are written instructions anywhere and if you could do a pattern that was toddler sized...These are so cute

I was making it for a newborn and was worried that it was too wide. Thanks
