Hi Aubrey, yes you can use a bigger hook. Make sure that the circle created by round 1 – 3 is the circumference of your daughter’s head so that it will fit.

Hi Rachel,
I’d like to make this for my daughter who is 10 months old. How would I make it a bit bigger? I read somewhere else that you can use a larger hook size to increase the size of a hat pattern. Would that work in this case?
Thanks!

I stumbled across your pattern, and I’m really happy with the result! I’m expecting my baby in just a couple of weeks, and I think this will be perfect for coming home from the hospital–just what i was hoping for. Thanks!!

Hey Sara,
There should be 12 dc, because it says “12 dc in forth ch from hook”, those dc are one only dc that you’re counting. You don’t count the beginning chain as a stitch.

Okay… I think I’m having newby stitch counting failure. For Round 1 – how does this add up to 12 stitches? I chained 4 – double crocheted in the first chain stitch and then did my slip stitch, when I count back I’m not finding 12. I must be missing something – any help would be great!

I added a reverse single stitch to complete an ‘edge’. Gonna make a bunch! Thanks!

Yup, you finish off after the last round. I normally just slip stitch in the next st, then cut the yarn and pull it through the slip stitch, then weave in the loose end.
