    Hi!

    Made the hat but added 1 additional increase round as I have a big head and used Bernat blanket yarn.
    It made it a slouchy hat and looks lovely. Now off to the store for a sparkly pink button. Also, I did the single crochet in the round and only did 2 rows and it was fine!

      Hi Denise,
      This was one of my first written designs and I, unfortunately, didn’t write that part down. I believe I used one skein of yarn so approximately 80-100 yards.

    Awesome pattern! I didn’t have any bulky yarn in the color I wanted on hand, so I used three different strands of grays and white to make it! It turned out great, though I might have to make one a smidge bigger =)

    Does this hat really require 6 skeins of chunky yarn?

    How can I make this hat for a 22″ head circumference? I love it and want to make one for myself!

    I love this hat but wanted to make it for a 22″ head circumference. Do I need to increase on the round? If so how many additional stitches? (It’s 11 to start I believe)

    Thank you

      Hi Tracey
      I would keep doing an increase round until you reach about 6″ across.then continue on as written. Hope this helps! 🙂

      Somehow mine wasn’t lined up to slip stitch on row 7. I’ll have to try again. Do you think it could be made with baby blanket yarn perhaps dropping a row or 2 if necessary?

        Hi Heidi! I bet it could! I would love to see it if you decide to try it will that kind of yarn.
