I was looking for some new patterns at Crochet Pattern Central today. They are featuring your Fishing Bobber Hat this week.
This is a great hat for me to make for my great grand sons. I also found several of your appliques. I use appliques as fridgies as well. I'm going to try out the Fire Hydrant applique to see what happens as a fridgie.

saw this pattern and want to make it for my grandson who is 15 months old. can you give me pattern for that age ? this is also made in Alabama colors and Mommy and Grandpa are BIG Alabam fans . thaks, Jeannie
HI Jeannie,
I don't have time to write it out but if you add an additional increase row and go up to about 60 stitches around I'm pretty sure that would make it large enough
so after row 9 on row (52)
row 10 add 8 increases (2 dc in a stitch evenly around) to get to 60 and then follow the pattern from there. On the last few rows you'll just need to make two dc dec. I hope that helps
You might need to measure his head to double check but it should be around 18-19 inches if 60 is to big take out an increase till it's the right size! good Luck!

I was looking at your hat patterns and just love the designs you have come up with. I was wondering about the bobber hat. I noticed you made it for an infant, if I want to make it for a man that is really big into fishing, could I make this and just use say an I or a J hook with the worsted weight yarn would that bring the size up for them?
Marsha if you use J hook I would still increase the stitches.
On round 9 do : 2 dc, dc in next 4 sts around - that will give you 60 - You may need to check measurement I know that fits my head but i have 22 inch head
Men average 22-24 so on round 10 you may need to add a few extra stitches and then make the hat about 10 inches in length.
The easy way would be increase to K hook but again you'd have to check measurements and it will be a more open weave hat.
I hope that helps some.
I found you & your patterns today from a freebie offering on fb. I truly love your designs.
I wish there were a way to save designers on Ravelry, but then a separate place to save awesome designers. You would be there!
Thank you for your designs & today's freebie!
Awe! Thanks for your kind words. I means so much :) Hope you enjoy the special freebie!
