      How did you attach your pompom? I have bought some lionbrand pompoms and they have a elastic band on the back. Is it easier to use those or sew it on?
      Thanks,

      about the brim, it says hdc in each stitch around for a total of 80stitches, how is that possible? the foundation chain is 104 stitches, did I miss something?

        Thank you! And thank you for letting me know - typo on my part! 🙁 It should be chain 81, for 80 sts. I'm very sorry for my error, it's been fixed in the pattern.

          Oh! I thought I was gonna go insane trying to figure out what I missed haha it's alright, typos happen 🙂 you should also change the number of big shells, with 80 sts, it is 10 big shells.

            Darn it - already started at 104 sts - never mind, it'll just end up extra slouchy! Was going to use the brim to adjust the count to fit my head anyway so just means extra tailoring...

      Now I can't find it.

      on round 26
      Round 26: Ch 1, sc in 1st st, 2 dc in ch-1 sp of next V st, *sc in ch-1 sp of next Row 24 V st (enclosing previous round ch-1 in the st), 2 dc in ch-1 sp of next Row 24 V st; repeat from * around, join to 1st sc with sl st using Color B. (30 sts)

      Is it suppose to say 2 dc in the ch-1 of the next V st (not in 24 but 25)after the sc in ch-1 sp of next Row 24..I'm gonna go with the next V for now and see how it turns out??

          It worked out - I need to take a pic to send - my Q was on round 26 - it tells you to 2 dc in the ch-1 sp of the next row 24 (I think should be 25 - this was my question - this is what I did and it worked) because if we are to sc in that sp, then 2 dc - in doesn't work or make sense to me - but then I'm a little off too.

      I see that someone has already suggested fingerless gloves. Not relevant to me, but a child-size hat and mittens might be an idea. I intend to make the pattern into a simple, straightforward scarf (to fringe or not to fringe?) and/or a shawl and/or a throw and/or an afghan.

      This pattern would also make a gorgeous christening shawl - the sort that becomes a family heirloom - not sure what yarn/hook size you would use - lace? baby yarn? 1.5 - 2.5 hook?.

      I'm going to have to give up this internet business - I'm not going to live long enough to make all these glorious patterns!

      Have you made this with a heavier yarn? I want to try it with lion brand homespun but I'm not sure what I should use as the foundation chain amount. I thought about decreasing it by 16 and go from there....:/ I'm afraid it might turn out to tight.

        I have not, I'm sorry. But I would recommend starting with a chain long enough to fit comfortably around your head, and then adjust the count to a multiple of 8 from there. 🙂

      Hello I'm on row 27 where you dc2tog and I've had to frog the row at least five times now because I can't seem to get the 15 stitch count where is it being dc2tog at? between the double crochets in the last round or the single crochets in the last round? because I either get 11, 12 or past fifteen when I get done counting the row.

        Hello Ida! In Round 26 you should have 30 sts - these are the sts you work into in Rnd 27 - and if you dc2tog them all, you'll have 15 sts in Round 27. (half the number you started with)
