Hey Dot, I just wanted to tell you that your patterns are very beautiful and how nice it is for you to share them with everyone. I have searched the web for a long time for good patterns and don't know why I never found this one. I actually got it from someone else's link. Anyway, blessings to you and thanks again! Lori |

Sorry, don't know what to say to that. I couldn't crochet if I didn't know how to read patterns. |

You're welcome, Martha. I'm glad you like them and I'm thrilled to hear how your using them for such a good cause. I spend most of my time crocheting and get a lot of pleasure out of making items from string. I've been doing it for over 40 years and it still fascinates me how one long piece of yarn or thread can be worked into something so beautiful. |

Thanks for the hat pattern: Sassy! I love it. Have made several and none ever come out the same. In fact, I have made about 40 hats now since January when I learned to crochet and absolutely none are the same. I seem to be changing the pattern when I forget what I am doing. My friend who is teaching me to crochet is selling some at her church for $5.00 for missions. I am glad to be able to help them with my crochet which is soothing to me and restful. Thanks again. |

Hi Mary Ann, I'm glad you like this site and I'm sorry you had trouble printing out the pattern. I don't know what the problem might be. Did you check the patterns on my other site? They're all the same as the ones here, but you might be able to get a better print out from that site. There's a button on the front page that will take you to Crochet bythehook, my other blog. If you have problems again, email me and let me know what pattern you need and I'll email it to you.
I can't wait to hear how many hats you get done before Christmas. |
