ReplyDeleteThis pattern is adorable!
ReplyDeleteIm glad I found it, since my cousin is having her first baby and wished for a baby beenie with ears!
Thank you from Sweden! :)
Hooray, you understand copyright law! And, beyond that, you have a delightful pattern. Making it for my new baby girl directly :)
ReplyDeleteWhat size does the 0-3 month pattern fit. The head circumference?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this pattern! It was very easy to follow! I used just the hat pattern to make my soon-to-be-born nephew, Remy, an elephant hat. I posted the hat on my blog, if you would like to see it: http://allthemorningsstilltolive.wordpress.com/2012/07/22/for-the-cool-kid/
ReplyDeleteI put in a link back to your hat pattern and made sure to note that I followed your pattern for the hat part.
Thanks so much for this pattern. I just made it for my god daughter. She's going to be curious george for Halloween! Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteI use this pattern as a base for all sorts of different hats! Thanks so much for coming up with it and letting us all use it for free!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this pattern. It worked up really easily and quickly. I just know I will be using this one again soon.
ReplyDeleteDo i fasten off the hat before i start on the first earflap?
ReplyDeleteI don't finish it off first.
ReplyDeleteTara, i just wanted to let you know how much i love this pattern!!! I found it a year or so ago and made one for my son. Since that hat I've easily made 20-30 others based off of your pattern. It truly is EASY and so adaptable! I like it better than any other base pattern I have found and so I tend to make your base no matter what embellishments I put on. (In fact - I'm here right now to look at your toddler pattern so that I can make a minniei mouse hat for a friend's daughter... :D) I'm here so often and so I thought I should say Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI've made several of these for friends and family members. Thank you so much for sharing this pattern with us! They are precious!
ReplyDeleteThank you soooo much for sharing the pattern..Mine turned out to be lovely. The instructions are super easy to follow and loved doing every bit of it. Are you on Facebook?
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this pattern! I keep finding myself coming back here to use the pattern, although I adjust it because I don't like a seam and can't seem to avoid it whenever I join rounds, so I just work in the round. But it's so simple, I use it for the base of most of my hats :) thank you for offering for free for us frugal (or broke) people!
ReplyDeleteThanks for nice sharing. Awesome pictures in your blog.
