Nice looking beanie. Going to start it and will let you know!
ReplyDeleteFeel free to ask any questions if you run into a problem.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason mine is coming out way too big to fit a newborn head. I'm using two strands of yarn that I'm sure is thinner than worsted weight and an I hook. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah! Perhaps I crochet really tight? I had been using another pattern I had purchased and it was coming out too small so I made my own pattern.
DeleteHere is a link to a picture of the hat on a 7lb. 15 oz. baby.

Whetes the turtle shell pattern to go with it?
ReplyDeleteI purchased the Cuddle Cape pattern from Elizabeth Spivey - http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hatchling-turtle-cuddle-critter-cape
ReplyDeleteI followed the pattern exactly but the hat is way too big for a newborn. I like the pattern though, and appreciate it being free. I will try again with a smaller hook and maybe one strand of yarn. God bless.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who made this and she said it turned out too small. I'd love to know how the one strand turns out for you, Katie. Please let me know.
DeleteThis pattern makes a hat for a 6-9 month old, measuring at closer to 17-18 inches in circumference. I just unraveled my work and I'm going to cut back the stitches to measure closer to 13-14 inches.
