Working through both thicknesses, sc(dc) these 12 together to close. Finish off. Weave in ends.


	Dot February 14, 2006 07:44 PM PST Hi Lilly, glad you like it. I don't have any of the newsboy type hats and don't know if I'll ever have one. I have problems with the bill.


	lilly February 13, 2006 01:06 PM PST hi this is a really cool hat. made it for my friend for her birthday. she loved it. i'm looking for those hats with that little brim?......... newsboy hat. do you have a pattern for one? (if you dont i think you should realy make one) do you know a good free pattern for one? thanks:-)


	Dot December 29, 2005 06:28 PM PST Hi Margo, try it with baby weight yarn and a C D or E hook. I don't know any other way to make it tiny baby sized.


	Margo Langley December 29, 2005 05:47 PM PST I reeally NEED a pattern just like this for my granddaughter Riley! She is now 7 months old, but was born very premature and lost every hair on her sweet little head! I want to keep her warm - yet stylish! I got her 2 little outfits that woudl look so cute with a tam (beret) like this. could you convert the pattern?


	Dot December 2, 2005 09:23 PM PST Hi Berni, this stumped me too the first time I ran across it in a pattern. Is it supposed to be a chain of 5 that you work... Yes, do not break off at the end of round 24, just make your chain 5 and turn so you can do sc's in that ch 5. does it ever get attached to the hat??... yes. when you sc down the chain you will be back to the edge of the hat (row 24). That's where you will make a sl st in the st on row 24 of the hat where the chain 5 started, and sl st in the next st on row 24. turn and sc back up the sc's you just made, turn and sc back down the sc's you just made. Always working in the back loops only. You will continue working up then turn and work back down then sl st to hat and turn and work up then back down and sl st to hat. Keep doing this around the entire hat and then slip st the edges together. OK, then, did I manage to make it even more confusing? I hope not, let me know


	Berni December 2, 2005 06:35 PM PST Hi Dot I am trying to finish this pattern up, but I am confused!! Dog gone it! I am starting on the ribbing, but I am not sure what is going on with that. Is it supposed to be a chain of 5 that you work, does it ever get attached to the hat?? See... I told you I am confused! I would love to finish this for the weekend. It is cold and rainy here. Thanks for anything you can do for me. Berni


	Dot November 1, 2005 12:48 PM PST Sorry, Barbara, I don't know.


	Barbara November 1, 2005 12:34 PM PST I would like to know where I can find Flurri yarn, It is a brushed acrylic imported by Lana Moro, Inc. of New York. I can't find a Web Site for that company. Can you help me out ?


	Dot October 27, 2005 06:30 PM PDT Hi Kat, that's so nice of you to say, thank you. I love sharing my patterns with everyone and I especially love to hear from people who use them. I'm very glad this hat turned out good for you and that your niece loves it.


	Kat October 27, 2005 05:37 PM PDT Dear Dot, this is the first time I am writing to you, I want you to know how much I appreciate all of your hard work with theses patterns. YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE in my life. To share with everyone your talent and ideas is truly selfless. God has given you your calling. So I just want to thank you. I enjoy all of them. This hat my niece loves!!!! I love trying new patterns. This one turned out good for me. Kat


	Dot July 8, 2005 06:22 PM PDT Hi Audrey. Good questions. I think I joined rounds in both loops, but I'm not sure. You should be OK if you pick one way or the other and just keep it consistent. Look at the way your rounds are joining and if you don't like it, tear it out and try it the other way. The hole in the top of the hat is natural. When I start my hat, I chain 2 and work 12 single crochets in the first sc, working OVER the tail, than after I finish the hat, if the hole's too large I pull the tail and it closes the hole. Then just weave it in securely so the hole will stay closed. The first round is worked all in the first chain stitch, so there isn't a front loop or back loop on the first round. Start working in back loops only with round 2. Hope this helps you.


	audrey July 8, 2005 02:33 PM PDT i just start this pattern, but i think i did something wrong cause I've got a hole in the middle. do I have to work in back loops also for the first round? And when I Join, I also have to join in the back loop? Thanks for you help Dot.


	Dot February 25, 2005 12:53 PM PST Hi Carol. I'm glad I could inspire you to pick up your hook again. I enjoy sharing my patterns with everyone.


	Carol February 25, 2005 10:33 AM PST I haven't done crochet for years but your patterns have inspired me to have another go - I especially like this one. As stated by Jean (above) its good of you to make them available like this for other people


	Dot February 20, 2005 08:44 PM PST You're welcome, Windi. Let me know how it works out for you.


	Windi February 20, 2005 06:30 PM PST Thanks Dot - I will sure give it a try! Appreciate your help :)


	Dot February 20, 2005 10:54 AM PST Hi Windi. This hat does run a little on the large side. If you want to try this pattern, you might try it with a smaller hook and maybe only 1 strand of yarn instead of 2. I know you'll get a smaller hat, but how small, I don't know. You might end up with a doll size hat. Here's a link to a site that explains how to make a beret. With this information, you could make a custom beret for your daughter. How to make a custom beret: http://www.crochetpartners.org/Patterns/CPpat72.html Hope this helps.


	Windi February 19, 2005 10:55 PM PST Dot, I am looking for a child's size version of this type hat - would you have any suggestions? I've searche and searched and can't find anything. THank you - these all look great - but my daughter is a very petite 11 year old and I think this one would swallow her whole - she has said she definitely wants a beret style hat.


	Dot February 1, 2005 07:56 PM PST Hi Jean. I hope you enjoy the pattern. I get alot of enjoyment out of sharing my patterns.


	Jean- crochetmyheart2000 February 1, 2005 07:34 PM PST Hello; I have saved this newest pattern to try for myself. It is very kind of you to share with us. Jean
