Magnus' Hat

What do you do when you're fed up trying to follow other people's patterns to get the right size hat? Make up your own!

This is Magnus' hat, made for a new baby born yesterday. I hope someone will try the pattern and let me know if it makes sense. The stitches are UK terms.

25g of DK

  4. Hi! I'm Spanish and I usually find the same terms for all the patterns, but I don't know what's "tr". It's a double, half-double, single crochet...? I really like this hat and I want to make it for my niece, who borns next september and is going to live her first winter really soon!

    Thank you forward...

    María.

    1. Hi Maria, this pattern is written in UK terms so the tr stitch is dc in US terms. Hope that helps! I've made it with a brim and flower for little girls too: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/jaydee67/magnus-hat-2
