Oops! I forgot to say, I posted the pattern at the Crochet forum on About.com too. I hope this is ok.

oh cute cute!!! i'm gonna make one for the little girl i'm going chemo hats for!!!
thank you for sharing :cloud9

I'm glad you like it, Rebecca. You'll need to use much smaller hooks than I did to make it small enough for children, but, it's do-able. Chemo hats are exactly what I was thinking when I designed this hat.

[Donna]

Oh, yes, it is very okay! What a great hat! :cheer Thanks for posting it! :clap

[Tiffany]

That is a beautiful hat! Thank you so much for posting it. :)

[bythehook]

Thank you! :blush Can you feel the heat from my blush? *g* I'm so glad you like the hat.

[bythehook]

Thank you, Tiff! I'm so glad you like it.

[bythehook]

Rebecca, I'm trying to make this hat using smaller hooks and it's buckling real bad, so you might want to hold off on making a smaller version until I can get the kink worked out.

[rebeccav]

dot, thanks for the head's up = i'll hold off until i hear from you again.

That is such a cool hat!!

[bythehook]

Thanks, Stormync!:D I'm glad you like my hat. I'm from North Carolina too...Knightdale.

[stormync23]

Where is Knightdale? I live in Burlington which is near Greensboro. It's always nice to meet state mates!

[bythehook]

Knightdale is 4 miles east of Raleigh.

:bigsmile Thank you!

[Nashville Crocheter]

I love that hat. I am going to try to make it for my hat club where we make hats for cancer patients!

Question:shrug When you start the chain 10 for the loops, which row do you start on? row 12 or row 25

[bythehook]

Thank you, I'm glad you like the hat and I'm thrilled you plan to use it for cancer patients.

Question When you start the chain 10 for the loops, which row do you start on? row 12 or row 25
Complete row 25, then ch 1 and turn, then sl st in that last sc you just made, then ch 10 and sl st in the same sc. You'll have sl st, ch 10, sl st, all in the same place. Does that help? Let me know if you have more questions.

[Nashville Crocheter]

Once I got to the end, I realized what to do to start the chain 10 loops. :cheer I used a G hook to make the hat and for the first few rows it seemed to buckle and wave but after a few more rows, it straightened out.

I have 3 rows of loops so far, I am doing every other sc instead of every one. If I can figure out how to post pictures, I'll post it tomorrow.:clap

[bythehook]

:cheer Yeah! I can't wait to see your hat. :woohoo
That's fast work! :D

[Nashville Crocheter]

Ok I have tried 2 times to post a picture of the hat I made but it doesn't show up. I copied the image address from photobucket and pasted it here. And it showed a box with a red x and http:// but no picture. Tell me what to try next.:thinking2

:thinking2 Do you have the HTML button selected in the formatting section of your post? Did you see the instructions on adding photos? Here's a link to the "how to's" on this site, just in case you haven't seen them before. :bigsmile

p084.ezboard.com/fcrochet...ID=7.topic (http://p084.ezboard.com/fcrochetvillefrm47.showMessage?topicID=7.topic)

I really, really want to see your hat. :bounce I'm excited that you made it already.

[Tiffany]

Okay, I noticed that you used the ezcodes to post the picture. For some reason it doesn't seem to work. I'll check on ezboard to see if they're aware that it's not working right. So, here's what you can do...

When you're in your post to edit, under the formatting choices choose the HTML option. Now you can enter the photo address as .photobucket.com/myimage.jpg">. (http://photobucket.com/myimage.jpg) If you're using photobucket, you can copy the img src information it gives you and just paste in here where you'll like your picture.

Hope this helps. :)

[Nashville Crocheter]

OK here goes again, hope it works this time.
I was afraid I was going to run out of dark purple thread so I did 2 rows on light purple loops. I did a total of 4 rows of loops. Do you think I need to add more?

I'm going to leave my previous post. maybe somebody can tell me what I did wrong by looking at the code.

:clap :bounce Can you tell how excited I am? This is the first time I have ever seen one of my patterns done by someone else! You did a great job. Thank you so much for sharing it.

[Donna]

Okay, I noticed that you used the ezcodes to post the picture. For some reason it doesn't seem to work. I'll check on ezboard to see if they're aware that it's not working right. Tiff, I'm not having any problem with ezCodes. I'll make a post in the FAQ about using ezCodes to post photos.

[Nashville Crocheter]

THANKS for fixing my image. :cheer

I still don't know what I did wrong. I'll try another day to post something else and see if I can figure it out.

[MommaChelle]

That is very cute! I love the purple!!

[Deb]

Absolutely adorable! I have some nieces... and I think they'd LOVE :idea to wear a hat like this!

Thank you for sharing your pattern!

(and I love the purple one too!)

[bythehook]

You're welcome, Deb. I'm so glad you like the hat. <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif" />
The purple hat was made by Nashville Crocheter, a fellow forum member. Didn't she do a great job!

[bythehook]

Hi Barbara, do you mind if I copy your picture to post in my albums? I want to start a "hall of fame" album showing how the patterns look when done by others. <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/veryhappy.gif" />

[Nashville Crocheter]

No Problem, go ahead and copy it. I'm looking forward toseeing others versions too. I'll probably do the "kid" version sometime this week.

Barbara

[bythehook]

Oh! Yeah! <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/cheerleader.gif" /> I'm on my way right now to copy it and put it in the "hall of fame" album. Thank you, Barbara.
