  2. This hat is so adorable!!! I made this yesterday. Not sure if mine has the diagonal look like this one does had a hard time on Row 8. But none the less I made it work and the edging really made this hat. I will be making more had such FUN. Thanks Rhondda your patterns are unique very pretty.

  3. hello i´m mexican, love this texture but, in spanish, how write half double crochet?, is similar punto alto ?

  4. Thank you! I’m happy you like the design 🙂 Congratulations on the upcoming arrival of your newest Granddaughter 🙂

  5. I just love this baby hat! Can’t wait to try this pattern for my newest granddaughter, due Sept.26!

  6. Thank you Magruth 🙂 It is good to know how large the hat is using different types of yarn. 🙂 The yarn I used was much lighter than worsted weight – do you mind sharing the dimensions you ended up with when made in worsted weight? I’d love to have them here in case someone else wants to try the different yarn too!

    Thank you again,
    Rhondda

  7. Just made this hat, I think it will fit a three year old, lol, I used leftover worseted yarn, probably should have used a smaller needle 🙂 but it is still LOVELY!! I want to make many more . Thank you soo much for sharing.
