Where’s the pattern for the Diaper Covers?????
Nicole says
They will be added tomorrow. I have so many patterns to post. Baby Hulk and Chunks were very clingy today so I was only able to get 4 patterns up. I will have the diaper pattern up tomorrow. I can sent you an email when I add it if you like. Hopefully I am able to get a few more up tomorrow.
Sara @ My Merry Messy Life says
This looks like such a warm, textured hat! I would love for you to add it to my link party for the fiber arts! It’s just for those of us into crochet, knitting, sewing, etc. http://mymerrymessylife.com/2012/06/hookin-on-hump-day-2-link-party-for-the-fiber-arts.html

Do you happen to know how many inches in diameter each pattern makes. My little one is 5 months but his head is 17 inches.
Tylenma Russell says
How to make this for adult I love this pattern
Stacey Williams says
You should probably increase it to about 70 stitches. Then continue in the pattern until it is long enough. After that just do a few SC rows.
Tylenma Russell says
Thanks I really Love this pattern I made it with a poncho for a toddler and it came out great 🙂
Tylenma Russell says
Can someone tell me how to do this for an adult
Kandle says
I have to tell you this is my favorite baby hat ever! I have made three already and am whipping up one right now! Thank you so much for posting this!

How do I get the diaper cover pattern?
Jennifer says
Thank you for taking your time to add these beautiful patterns. I love them all 🙂
Sylvia says
I started back crocheting after several years. I was looking for some simple easy patterns to do for cancer patients as well as the church. I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this pattern. I have made so many of all the sizes. Thanks again and happy crocheting to everyone!
Heather Hughes says
I can’t read the pattern with the ads following me down the page. This hay would go great with a diagonal herringbone cacoon I made for my grandson to be. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I could even pay for a pdf if you have one available.
Stacey says
Hi Heather, I just made the pdf available for this pattern! I hope that it helps you out. 🙂
Heather Hughes says
Thank you ! 😊 does this include the diaper cover or only the hat? I wasn’t able to find the diaper cover pattern
Stacey says
The diaper cover is on a separate post. http://www.bustingstitches.com/matching-diaper-cover-for-ribbed-baby-hat/
Thanks!
Valerie Bailey says
Thank you for this amazing pattern. I can honestly say this is the easiest, most clever hat pattern…..baby, or otherwise, that I’ve ever made. I love it! I was wondering how I might go about making it for an adult woman?
Mookie Spawr says
I love the look of this hat, but am struggling with the first five rounds of the pattern. I have been crocheting and knitting for over 40 years so I am not new to the craft, but I do not understand what you mean by ‘the next space’. Is it the same as ‘into the two top loops of the next hdc’? Or do you mean to actually hdc into the space between two hdcs?
Thanks!
Stacey says
I mean in the top of the stitch. It is the next space to place a stitch that is not between a stitch.
