I love this hat, so cute. I had a question about the ears. I was following the pattern and the stitch counts at the end didn’t match up. Not sure if something was missing or there’s a typo. Also at 14 rows, the ears are too small for the child size hat. Would I just continue adding rows till it’s a size I like?
Hi Amanda, I will look into the sitch count and make any changes. If you would like the ears longer keep increasing until you reach your desired width then sc each row for added length. Hope this helps!
About how much yarn would be used for a child sized hat? I’ve been asked to make this for a Halloween costume and want to make sure I order enough of the green yarn. Thank you.
Hi, not that much…I would estimate about 200 yards. Happy Halloween!
