ReplyDeletemy count does not match yours on row 3 I only come up with 24 dc instead of 36 can you help me?

Good catch roxielhinoh! Yes, each row should increase by 12 stitches. so row 1 (120 row 2 (24) row 3(36) and so on, I will fix the pattern soon!
ReplyDeleteCouple of things confuse me on this pattern. On the hat row 5 the part that says {2 dc in next st. 1 dc in next st. 1 dc in next st.}Would this be the same as 2 dc in the next st. 1 dc in each of the next 2 dc? Also after making the strap what is the ch3 for? Then it says attach at foundation row. Foundation row of hat? of strap? Can anyone explain these to me? Maybe I am just reading this all wrong. The pattern is so cute I just want to do it correctly.
ReplyDeleteFor row 5, you say it's ch 2, which counts as dc, then 1 dc, then 2dc, 1dc, 1dc... is that correct? 2-1-2-1-1 or shouldn't it be 2-1-1-2-1-1?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty much a newbie at crocheting, only for about 1 1/2 months, but caught on quick. Not sure if I'm catching onto errors in patterns or just assuming because some other patterns have similar repetitions. Sorry if I'm wrong, like I said, still learning =)

ReplyDeleteHey New Beginnings....your right! Good catch. I fixed it so hope it works good now.
ReplyDeleteLove this, too! :) You are so talented!!
ReplyDeletedo you have the pattern for the flower?
ReplyDeleteIs this for a newborn size?
ReplyDeleteDo you have any tips for making it bigger, say a 6 month size or so? I don't know how to crochet, but my Grandma does and I would like to pass along this pattern, but we need something bigger. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteKRISTA The following is a reply that I think might help answer your question.IT WAS A REPLY TO A SIMILAR QUESTION ON THE OWL HAT PATTERN. Adjust it accordingly. Hope it helps.
ReplyDeleteyou could use a different hook size. measure across your circle when you get to the last row of increasing stitches (row 5 in this pattern.) Now if your math-y (I'm not, but this is easy and it works) take your circumference which in your son's case is 22". the formula is C=Dπ or circumference=diameter x pi. so you need your distance from edge to edge of your flat circle to be approx 7". That will give you a hat with roughly a 22 inch circumference.
Alternately you could add another row of increasing stitches if you need. sometimes I have added a row of single crochet because I don't need the hat too much bigger. If you'll notice this hat is based on the 12 times table. (row 1=12 dc, row 2=24 dc, row3=36 dc and so forth. so if you add another row, row 6 would have a total of 72 dc and would read 2dc in first stitch, dc in next 4 stitches. Row 6 has 6 stitches repeated) I'm thinking this will make your hat too big, but its all trial and error.
Also, you could base your hat on any times table you like. how ever many dc you have in your magic ring is the table it will be based on. try 13,
I hope this isn't all too confusing. I'm not great at explaining these things. If you go by your "crown" size, the circle of increasing stitches, you can't go wrong. when you get close to that 7 inch diameter, stop increasing, and make the hat. I have a hat size chart that will tell you how "tall" to make the hat, look for the link at the top of this page.
Thank you! :)
DeleteThese are adorable. I just found diaper cover sewing pattern downloads that I am excited to try out. I love the crocheted look but I am not so good at that. What would you say the difficulty of this is?
ReplyDeleteHi I just tried this pattern and Im not sure if you've corrected the errors as noted above, but the hat turned out very disproportioned. I think it's in the part after you slip stitch then ch 2, followed by dc in the same spot. That is adding a constant increase in that one spot every time around is it not? I will try the pattern again but without that step to see how it turns out. Oh and also (possibly from the extra increase?) it was very wide, I actually added a few more rows and it was wide enough to fit my 2 year olds head.
ReplyDeletehmmmm, I'm not sure what to say Happyhooker, I just write it how I do it. Try counting the # of stitches in the non increasing rows, and being sure not to have one extra perhaps that might help?? The # of stitches should be the row # where you last increased times the number in row one. (In this case 4 times 12 = 48.) No row should have more than 48 stitches in it. Hope that helps, I'm definitely not a "real" pattern writer :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll definately try that! It's such an adorable set I would like to get it figured out, thanks for the advice!
Deletei'm not sure if this question has been asked.. looking at the picture of the diaper cover .. it looks like it increases a bit right after the band.. before it starts to decrease.. but there are no increases in the pattern???
ReplyDeletesomehow i have managed to turn the diaper cover pattern in to an Tunisian crochet pattern; ive made some alterations that make it where it can fit my soon to be 9 mth old son. he is on the skinny side, in some places.
ReplyDeleteim working on the decreases currently.
im more experienced than i look, been crocheting since i was a tot. however, the decreases in this style go every other forward and return pass i make.
These are adorable! I'm happy I found the pattern. I'm going to start making a set tonight. Thank you for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteI made the hat last night and followed your instructions exactly - it came out perfectly and is soooooo cute. I used pink yarn for the entire hat, and a fushia yarn for the band. I used yellow buttons and made a yellow flower to hook over one of them. I really love it. It is a bit large for a newborn, so I will make another and use a smaller hook size. Thanks so much for the pattern!
