ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. :)
DeleteThanks ! Now gotta master this reverse sc thing
ReplyDeleteJust keep practicing and it will make sense.
DeleteThank you for sharing such an easy, adorable teddy bear hat pattern. I'm going to make Winnie the Pooh hats for our local NICU. You can also make the ears a little bigger and make Mickey or Minnie Mouse hats. The possibilities are endless!
ReplyDeleteMany Blessings,
Leslie
Leslie, Great suggestions!
DeleteVery cute!!!
ReplyDeletethanks teresa!
ReplyDeleteyou always make such cute stuff.
That is an absolutely lovable hat!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Love this little hat, I made two so far, with very slight adjustments to the ears -- I posted photos and a link back to you on my blog today. I was asked by a friend to make one for a toddler size so I have added a row to increase and added three rows for depth and it hopefully will fit a 4 year old child's head. Oh and never saw that reverse single crochet before and love how it finishes up the edge.
ReplyDeleteToo cute. Think I will make one for a friend who just had a baby.
ReplyDeleteI followed this pattern, but my hat came out tiny (about a 6" diameter, big enough for a kitten but not a baby). What size yarn did you use for yours? I used worsted yarn and a 5.5mm crochet hook. I would like to try again because the picture is just darling.
ReplyDeleteEither you missed increase stitches or naturally crochet tight. You can try the medium size cap, which is slightly larger.
