Hi Bev, try double checking your gauge. If the tension is too loose, sometimes it can cause the hat to be wavy. Since you mentioned that you already checked your stitch count (the most common problem), try also checking the number of rows since adding more rows with more increases will also make it wavy.

My top of the hat is very wavy. I checked everything . The first one I made was way too big that I had to undo the whole thing. What am I doing wrong? I’ve counted the stitches perfectly – help, please!

Hi Sara, the largest hat measures 22" in circumference around the head. To make sure it fits, feel free to measure around your husband's head first. You can find the pattern in the hat section in the store, here's a link to it: Crochet Hats section You'll need to create a store account if you don't already have one. Here's more information about shopping in the store if you need it: What You Ought to Know About Shopping in the Store Let me know if you have other questions or need more help!

Hello, I’m new to the site, so sorry if I ask silly questions.

I recently made a hat for my husband and it was too small. What size is the largest hat pattern in this group? And how would I go about purchasing it?

Thanks!

Hi Jo Anne, make sure you are opening the pattern in Adobe Reader and that you are using the latest version. If you click on the “Print Preview” option, double check to make sure the preview is showing the entire pattern so that it will print everything. Let me know if you need more help with it.

I pruchased the 6 beanie patterns. They will not print out. I get the heading on the page,
then a blank page. What do I need to do?

Hi Holly, the sizes in this pattern are for preemie, baby, toddler, child, woman and man. These size labels are only a general guideline as to what size to make for a particular person, since head sizes can vary greatly despite someone’s age. For what you’re interested in, you can probably use the preemie and baby size patterns. Depending what yarn you also choose it can make your hats stretchy so that it can fit a large range of baby sized heads. Let me know if you need any help with the pattern.

I am interested in buying this, but I am wondering what sizes the beanies are? I am interested in a 0-3 months, 3-6 months and 6-12 month for sure. Would this pattern fit that?

Hi Candace, thanks for letting me know you needed help! Yes, the top of the hat should lay flat as a circle. Make sure that you make the gauge before you do the beanie, so that you know your tension is correct. Also, be sure to count the stitches for each round. The total number of stitches in each round should match the number written at the end of the round. Waviness is normally due to having more stitches than required, or the tension in the stitches are too loose. Let me know if you have checked these, and I’ll be sure to help you further if you need it
