Oh my gosh, you are a godsend. Thank you so much for putting your amazing patterns online for all of us to use! I'm making this hat for a friend for Christmas and I know she will absolutely love it.

Thank you again!

Thank you for the great feed back, Truvy. I try very hard to make my patterns easy to understand. It's good to know I succeeded on this one. I hope your friend has a speedy recovery.

I stitched this up last night for a friend who has recently undergone brain surgery. I was pleased with how quickly it progressed, but I was most impressed with how clear and well-written the pattern instructions were. I use free patterns off the web frequently, and usually have to muddle through less than clear instructions. This one was a joy to make.

You're welcome Maxine. I'm glad you liked the hat. It's such a wonderful thing you are doing, making hats for cancer patients. I am honored you chose one of my patterns. Keep up the good work.
