just sat here and made one :) how big is it supposed to be across?
ReplyDeleteIt should be about 12 inches in diameter, because it will stretch some and you want it to be snug on the head. You can make it a little bigger if you want to put it in the dryer. If it ends up too small, try using a bigger hook.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and patterns! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet, thanks!
ReplyDeleteHello i was trying to make your newborn crown however i am having some difficulties as i am new at this i managed to do the first point and slip st. down the one side but then when i went to do the second point at the end the slip stitch down the side goes back down to the first point. do i slip stitch down both sides fasten off then start again? if so how would i start again. or how do you get it to go the opposite way??? Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteSlip across the top, then down the other side, and keep going around the crown.
ReplyDeleteok thank you i will give that a try so you only slip stitch down one side of each point? Thank you again i love this pattern :)
ReplyDeleteJust down one side, correct!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! Any baby would look precious wearing one!
ReplyDeleteok, so I am still fairly new to crocheting so I had my mom help me since she has been doing it for 30 years or so. I am using red heart shimmer in hot pink that is a 4 medium, and I'm using the 4.25 mm needle and i don't know if I'm just crocheting way to tight or if I'm doing something wrong b/c when I brought the two ends together on the first chain of 48 it was tiny, more like an anklet size. HELP! it's for my best friend and I'm shipping out her blanket and one other hat tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThe yarn may say to use a smaller hook, but if it's a smaller yarn and you use a smaller hook, the pattern will turn out smaller. You should either use a 5 hook and crochet the yarn loosely, or use two strands together with a 5 hook. Either way, as it says in the pattern, the crown should easily stretch to at least 14".
ReplyDeleteok, thank you, I did end up just crocheting a little looser and it looks alot better, just slow getting it started. Trying to get it done at work and still do my job. Thank god I'm good at multi-tasking and have an easy job!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great patterns and the help!
I just wanted to say, thank you so much for your generosity in sharing all of these awesome, useful patterns! It is such a blessing to me in my new years of crocheting. I pray that God blesses you in mighty ways! Jesus loves you! Thanks again! :)
