	Linda August 31, 2008 08:51 PM PDT You are the best! Thank you for these patterns!


	Susan July 9, 2006 02:17 PM PDT I sometimes need to use a larger hook on hat patterns because I have a 24 1/2" head. On this one I just won't need to do as many decreases, thanks.


	Dot September 25, 2005 07:43 PM PDT You're welcome, Julie. I'm glad you like my patterns. I look forward to hearing how your hat turns out. Happy hookin'.


	Julie September 25, 2005 06:39 PM PDT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR AWESOME PATTERNS! I STOP BY YOUR SITE ALMOST DAILY ALWAYS LOOKING FOR MORE! I haven't done this one yet but i'll let you know how it is.


	Dot July 9, 2005 02:08 PM PDT Hi Sandy, I've only made the hats you see pictured here, but this pattern would definitely work fine with a single color. Instead of cutting the yarn and connecting the new color, just keep working according to the instructions.


	Sandy July 9, 2005 01:49 PM PDT Have you done this hat all in one colour? Would that work?


	Dot December 17, 2004 08:34 PM PST Thanks, Rhonda, glad you like the pattern. Hope you and yours have a Happy Holiday.

	Dot December 13, 2004 08:05 PM PST You're welcome, Ghost. I'm glad it worked out for you. The gray mohair around the bottom sounds very interesting. I'd love to see a picture.


	Ghost December 13, 2004 05:57 PM PST Thank you for this pattern! I just finished it, and am really happy with it. I've tried other hat patterns on the net, and had them come out way too big. This one is just right, and I added an extra row of gray mohair on the bottom. :)
