What age (months) does this hat fit?
Am I the only one who needs to know how much yarn?
Made this in a couple of hours but replaced the body of the hat with stocking stitch. Worked fine, going to adjust it for a thicker yarn for the winter.
Please can you tell me what you mean by baby weight yarn? Would I be right with 4 ply?
Yes 4 ply would be a baby weight
The baby isnt here for me to measure i havent met him yas yet, so would you think this would fit a 4month old?
wonderful, how do I print the instructions to make the chickie hat?
Hi Ellen, just login and then you get a print this pattern button at the end of the pattern.
This sounded great and easy. Our church helps with the homeless in out community so I felt that this project would help them this winter.
