For rnd7 I can only get 42 stitches (counting the ch3 as first stitch) in the 60 stitches from rnd6. Is this a misprint or am I missing something?
Hello, there should be 40 sts remaining (instead of 60 sts). Thank you!
This is for the adult version by the way ????
Round 7 indicates a total of 48 stitches Working with 60 stitches from previous round I can only come up with 40 stitches in round 7. Next rounds indicated are 8-11 yet the next round is shown as rnd 9 then rnd 10 then rnd 11 – 12???
How do you do round 7 to get 48 stitches instead of 40?
Explain numbering on rnds 8-12. I like the hat and I am disappointed with pattern instructions .
Thank you
The pattern instructions are off. I finished the Teen/Adult hat & no way is it big enough. It is big enough for a toddler.
Hello Angela! I’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
