About how much yardage does this hat take? Is one of the "small" cotton balls enough? I'm ready to start on this one...thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNeesie,
ReplyDeleteI don't know how many yards, I didn't measure. One cotton ball should be sufficient, with a little left over. If you have a question about it, though, you should purchase two balls just to be sure. Thanks for your question!

Biz!
ReplyDeleteIt worked! I backed up several rows and did it right. It looks just like yours...well, almost. lol
Thanks much!
Hi, I am trying to make your Sunburst Hat and have a question for you. In Row 1, at the end it says, "do not join." In Row 2, it says to do 2sc in each sc around..okay, then in Row 3 it says, " sc in join sp." My question is when did it say to join it? I joined mine in Row 1 and so far it looks great, but when are you suppose to join it???
ReplyDeleteYou should join after row 2. I missed putting that on the pattern. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your method worked fine. :-)
I just found your pattern. I use a lot of patterns but also make up some things. I've made similar, sometimes leaving off the brim. Even with them being "airy", they work fine as chemo caps, too, using a soft yarn. You can see one that I made (not from your pattern or any other) on http://netagenesnicethings.blogspot.com I just made it up as I made it. LOL! (And BTW, you put the apostrophe in the wrong place in the contraction for "you all". It goes between the "y" and the "all" because it takes the place of "ou". LOL! I'm 67, born and raised here in Alabama, also went to college in metro Tampa, FL and lived there about 30 years.) I'm enjoying perusing your blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat size hook did you use? Also, I am a little confused about the joining. I read the comment about joining at the end of Row 2, but I'm used to chaining and turning. I am to understand this is to be done as a continuous round?
ReplyDeleteThanks Netagene! I will catalog the correct spelling for y'all in my brain so I don't 'read' too much like a Northerner.
ReplyDeleteMuriel- yes it's a continuous round. Just make sure you either count or mark the first stitch of your row so you know when to stop.

ReplyDeleteMuriel it's an I hook
ReplyDeleteI lost all my hair, although not through chemo. They still haven't figured out why. But I am always looking for caps and scarves to protect my scalp when I go out. This is ideal - it's pretty and comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI made this hat and this is an awesome pattern! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cute hat. I no longer drive and I find the long waits for the bus really cook my head as the bus stops have no shelter. I wonder - do you think this hat would work OK with a wider brim? The Fresno, CA sun is blistering and temps in the summer are well over 100 deg F.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandie, you could definitely give it a try. Do an extra row of increase before doing the reverse sc row. The rev sc helps to firm up the edge of the brim, so it may work. Let me know if you do that! I would love to hear about your results.
ReplyDeleteAs for a longer brim, I added several more rows because of making my tighter it wasn't long enough. I just kept going in the pattern (increase one row and SC the next row) I added 6 more rows and it was exactly how I wanted it. :)
