  3. Almost everything cute I have ever made had ended up being from one of your patterns...I ask my friends to pick out something they like for birthdays/holidays and somehow I always come back to this blog. Thanks so much for sharing...your patterns are beautiful.

  4. I made the cowl and it came out so cute! However, I made the hat and it looks a little weird on..mine turned out super long and looks awkward in the back... What was the gauge of this project? Also, could you explain to me how you "weave through the chain 3 rows and pull tight?" Thanks! :)

  6. Hi Raven,
    You should take your tapestry needle and in between the last stitches of the rows that end in a ch 3, weave the yarn in and out of the hat. Then pull the yarn tight. Knot it off securely on the inside of the hat. You can add a few more stitches for added strength and to clean up the seam a bit.

    Hope this helps,
    Donna

  9. Donna i have a question. When you fold it and weave the top what do you do with the longside, because you can wear it with leaving that longside open.

  10. Hi, Donna! I love this pattern, but I'm a little confused. I'm about to begin row 18, but it looks like this buttonhole will be at the opposite end of the cowl as the other one. Where have I gone wrong?
