Very nice skull cap, Deneen. Thanks so much for sharing the pattern.
Great pattern Deneen! Thanks for sharing, I'll have to remember to print it when my loud ass printer won't wake up the house lol.
(psst...I like the colors you used too!)
These are really cool Deneen!
I like the design and they are very comfortable to wear. I shave my head so it protects from the cold and the sun. Thanks.
very purtyful
I must crochet really tightly... I used the J hook, but it looks like it would fit an infant. :( I will have to try a bigger hook and see what happens.
Renee-you could go up a hook size, I crochet a bit loosely. This is a snug fitting cap (for hair loss during chemotherapy), so you can add a few extra increase rounds and then a few of the even rounds.
Oh my !! I must've done something terribly wrong w/ my stitches, because my hat doesn't even look like this picture ! My hat looks ruffly and scallopy- very much like a little girl fru fru hat. What the heck did I do wrong??
This is great! But I made a small hat, probably the same problem Paula had but I gave it to my dolly.
(I'm 11). And it surely fits!! Now she needs a scarf...
Why can't I make it even bigger?!?!?!
Do one or two more increase rounds-round 6 ch 1, 1 dc in next 4 sts, 2 dc next st around.
round 7-ch 1, 1 dc in next 5 sts, 2 dc in next st around.
follow the rest of the pattern
COOL hat. Ive been looking everywhere for a hat like this. Thanx for sharing the pattern.
(^-^)
