  1. Hi, I just started making this hat and I am confused. I have 41 ch 1 spaces and 41 sc. I’m only getting 41 puff stitches not 42. I have restarted and double counted…am I missing something?

  2. Is this beanie is worked from the end to the top?

    • Beatrice Ryan Designs

      The instructions start at the band ribbing which is the bottom of the hat that is the part that goes around your forehead

  3. Hi, I’ve been making this pattern today and I’m up to rnd 25 and I can’t quite work out how it goes from 65 sc to 52 sc with following the repeats 12 times I only get 8 times with 2 sc left over – 59 sc I think it came to.
