    Hi Sandra 🙂 Thank you! Which hat pattern was this for? All the best, Rhondda

    Thank you very much for posting the pattern using the hdc. I really enjoyed making the hat.

    I used:
    Adult Large pattern—my head circumference is 25″
    4 Ply Red Heart yarn (used abut 3/4 skein)
    12 rows=5″
    10 rows= 41/2″
    14 sts = 4″
    I realize this info is for a different pattern than this one, but wanted to let you know.

    Please forgive me! I found the info. I looked twice! before and missed it both times. Duh!

    18/10/2016 at 2:28 PM

    I forgot to ask how much yarn per hat? Thanks!

    18/10/2016 at 2:25 PM

    I don’t see any chaining or sl between rows. Does that mean it’s a spiral pattern? New to making hats 🙂

    Hi Carol, I have a tutorial here for the Magic Ring: https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/how-to-make-a-magic-ring/ I will add the link to the post too! Thank you for letting me know I had forgotten!

    Hi Rhondda,

    I am rather new to crocheting and am still learning all the lingo. I’m confused as to what a Magic Ring is?

    Thanks you so much,
    Carol

  10. Mart says

    14/01/2016 at 12:38 PM

    I’m going to take a stab at it, does ‘MR’ mean magic ring? It doesn’t say anywhere in the pattern that I can find.
