Hello, do you have the same pattern for adults? My mom will have a head surgery and she likes your pattern for a hat for her to be protected from the sun. Thanks!!!
Hi Sally, All my patterns are in US crochet terms 🙂 All the best, Rhondda
Thank you for your help. Another question is this pattern in US or English terms?
Hi Sally, When I work in continuous rounds, I place a stitch marker (you can use a different color of yarn, or a safety pin, a hooped earring, paperclip or a regular stitch marker) in the very first stitch I work for each round. When I get back to that stitch I know my round is finished and I remove it and work the first stitch of the next round. Then I replace my marker into that very first stitch. Hope this helps! Rhondda
I would like to make this hat. It looks so easy. I am not too experienced and I can’t figure out an easy way to keep track of where I am when crocheting in a continues round. Could you please help me? Thank you very much.
H Tina, I have this pattern available here: https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/hope-soft-and-lightweight-womens-hat/ as the women’s size and I also rewrote it in cotton yarn here in multiple sizes: https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/hope-in-cotton-in-multiple-sizes/
All the best, Rhondda
