Pattern lists 4 sizes (6 mo, 12mo, etc.), but the instructions do no indicate any changes for the various sizes. Could you please add this information. Thanks, Lindaa Dee

It actually does provide for sizes in the instructions listed here, it is the same pattern for all sizes until you get to the line that says- Cont in same manner, inc 8 sts on next and every following alt row to 89 (97-97-105) sts. Place marker at end of last row. The number of increase rows and stitches is what determines the sizes for this pattern, hope this helps happy knitting!

I have just finished knitting this hat using Baby Bernat yarn and it looks NOTHING like the picture shown. It is just a big floppy mess and the ruffle holds no shape. Have others had the same problem?

I've been making this hat for years and have never had that problem, I always use the Jacquards yarn but I know other people who used yarn other than the jacquards and the pattern did not work out as well.

In the first row of the ruffle instruction could you explain what the K1, M1 stands for please. Is it Knit 1, make 1.? I would appreciate your advice on this as I would like to make it. Thank you.

I just spent a hour looking at the 33 insanely cute baby hat patterns sent to me today and finally selected this one. This yarn has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Please update your files
