  1. Hi J, I am going to double check this for you tonight but I am thinking that there should be 31 clusters and 31 ch-1 for the Adult Large Size. I wrote this a few years ago but for some reason I think I counted the ch-1. I will try to work one up tonight to double check. Thanks! Rhondda

  2. I love this pattern, but need clarification on the adult size large. Are there suppose to be 62 clusters on each row?

  4. I’ve never been a fan of slouch hats as I love my beanies too much. But I’ve changed my mind after seeing this hat! My gosh, it’s gorgeous. The yarn, the pattern–it’s classy while looking cozy warm at the same time. Thank you for the pattern and the wonderful yarn selection!
