10/9/2011 Sun.(9:35pm)Suzie, thanks for sharing your Awesome Earflap cap pattern, it was not only quick & easy, but also easy to follow instructions, only thing was, I used the instructions for the adult pattern & still came out with a cap for like a 2 year old (Thankfully, I have grandbabies) (*_*)....maybe you can tell me where I went wrong, I used a K-hook & 2 strands of yarn (I Love This Yarn-sport weight & Red heart baby yarn). Thanks again (To Donyell95, please share & let us know how yours came out Please), {{Kim, waving from ATX}}.
The pattern is for worsted weight and you used a finer yarn. Try again with Red Heart Super Saver or I love This Yarn in worsted weight.
