I love this pattern. I worked it up in about 2 hours, and my two daughters fought over it! So now I have to make another one!! Thanks for the great pattern.

In row 8 you say "dc in next 9 dc." I'm assuming you meant "dc in next 9 sc" since the previous row was done in sc. I just thought I'd point that out.

This hat is so cute, but I just can't seem to get it to turn out right... it is very bunched up & lumpy. The butterfly stiches are perfect, but the spaces inbetween is where it gets lumpy. Any thoughts on what Im doing wrong?

Sometimes a cap just needs a head to look right.

Such a cute hat. I'm going visiting tonight and realised that I didn't have gifts for the youngest 2 children so looked online, found this pattern and 2 hours later had 2 really sweet hats. One in pink and one in lilac

I am trying to make this as a chemo cap for my mom who is fighting breast cancer. I am stumped on round 6. Does the tr in round 6 refer to a treble crochet? That's the only stitch I know with tr and it doesn't seem right? Please advise if possible. Thanks so much.Cindy

Yes the tr is treble.

Great hat. It would be nice to have a video tutorial, since others want to learn, but aren't that great with "crocheting terms". My daughters would love to learn... I just have enough time to walk them through it.

Hi do you have a way to turn this into a scarf? My mom loves butterflies and I would love to make a matching set for her. Thank-you!

How do I print this pattern
# posted by Blogger Unknown : 4:03 PM
 
At the top you will see you need to copy into your choice of program to print. Myself I use MS Word.

Tried using this to make a cap for my mother-in-law. Didn't fit. How can I make this bigger for her head?
# posted by Blogger Unknown : 4:50 PM
 
You could use one of the heavier worsted weight (4) yarns like Caron One Pound. Then use an I (5.5 mm) hook. Another thing you can work an extra round of double crochet before doing the sc.

I just finished this. It looks awesome. Thanks so much!

Hi!

I’m having trouble with this:

“tr around both ch 6 loops”

How do you treble crochet AROUND something? Can’t figure it out...
