Rachael, the parentheses indicate that the instructions inside them are repeated, so it’s 2 dc, 1 dc. 2 dc, 1 dc, etc.

(2 dc in next dc, dc in next dc)

newbie here, not sure if I do 2 dc every other one or just start with the 2 dc and continue with the single dc around?? hopefully that makes sense lol.

Hi Carmen, you can use 2 stands if you are able to obtain the same gauge using the 2 strands. It is likely that if you can’t get the gauge correctly with the 2 stands of yarn your hat will turn out to be too big. If you’d like a warmer hat, but only use one strand of yarn try using yarn made of wool as they seem to be a but warmer than acrylic or cotton yarn.

Hi!

Can I use two strands of yarn to make the earflap cap? I would like for the cap to be a little thicker.

Thanks!
Carmen

I made these for 2 of my g’kids. Using the nice soft
medium weight yarn is great, but I am not sure the
ear flaps are strong enough to keep the ears warm.
Maybe they are just intended for something funky,
but I think next ones I make will be in a #4 yarn.

The items I made from your website as a member,
went over 100%+. My daughter sold 20 items in
one lunch hour, and gave me 4 special orders to
be done by October’s end.

Thank you Rachel and team for giving me the boost
I really needed. As a primary artist, and all the
arts/crafts shows I attended, were small in sales
and very disappointing. Now I’ve found crocheting
is my niche!

Looks good so will try it in bright multiple colours so does not look mannish! Tks for super idea.

I have many, many patterns for hats, but this one I made in 2.20 hours
with both 3 and 4 wgt yarns. Absolutely the best pattern and quickest
I have ever tried. Thanks for so many great patterns.
