Can’t find this yarn online, even using the links in the pattern. What weight is it?
This is a bulky weight yarn.
I believe it is supposed to state End 10-14 and not 11-14. Easy fix, but that’s only my honest and simple answer. Do not know for sure. Guess I’m bout to find out. And yoh simply means yarn over hook. WaWatch a video. Easy stuff once you try. Blessings!
glad to see the update. I just tried the original post & also was stuck on row 4 THANK YOU
Never mind found it. Is this pattern correct now?
It calls for two different crochet hooks. What part of hat is used for each?
I just crocheted this up and with the rnd 4 given above this still does not work. However, the initla rnd 4 I posted on 8th and the rnd 4 I posted today – exactly the same – works fine. and gives the correct stitcg count.
I wish that whomever proff read this the first and subsequent times could actually count properly. it would have saved a lot of readres a lot of annoyance. Not well done.
I still can’t see how Rnd 4 works correctly. In each repeat, according to unpated pattern, you use the first 2 sts from previous row, miss the next dcfp then use the next dcbp. This equates to 1 extra st for each 4 sts = 16 + 4 = 20 sts at end of rnd 4. Please explain the thoughts behind this.because i still don’t get it! Surely rnd 4 should be:
Ch 2. *1 dcfp around next dcfp. 2 dcbp around next dcbp. Rep from * around. Join with sl st to first dcfp. (24 sts)
*updated* = unpated….
This pattern is so cute! I have the first few rows done and it is going to make a great Christmas gift!
Thank you for this. I hope to subscribe soon (need to start my new job first!).
Hi everyone – we’ve received corrections and have updated this post to reflect them. 🙂
I hope everyone enjoys, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

I look forward to receiving the response the errors have been corrected so I can complete this darling hat! Thank you!
The editors at I Like Crochet are aware of the errors in the pattern and we are working to get them all sorted out. We thank you for bringing it all to our attention and apologize for any inconvenience.
-Julia, editor of I Like Crochet
Thank you 🙂
Thank you Julia,
Mistakes happen. We learn, we live, we move to the next project. Debra
The picture provided on the printed version is awful; no help at all. Thanks for a free pattern, but for people who rely on images to help us along in the process, this is a fail. Forgive me my bluntness.
Thank you for sharing. I will be checking out your site to see if I will subscribe.
I agree with Georgina. Could I have figured out there was a mistake around row 3 or 4, and how to correct it? Would I have decided the body rows should have been 10-14 not 11-14? Probably. But this was offered free as inducement to buy a magazine, and yet it does not impress because of these mistakes. Even more importantly, no corrections have been published which should have been done immediately when errors were noted. I’ve had other patterns where the instructions were sloppy, and I won’t order from them again. So as a ‘loss leader,’ this pattern fails on 2 counts. 1) mistakes -forgivable and 2) lack of caring that there are mistakes- unforgivable.
Nan,
Thank you for your comment. We’re working on correcting the mistakes in this pattern and will post corrections as soon as we can. We apologize for the inconvenience.
-ILikeCrochet Editor
Love it!
Love crochet, will certainly have a go, thanks for the free pattern
I understand the frustration of those who have asked for the pattern to be corrected and have been ignored. The skill level is described as easy but with all the mistakes it ceases to be fun, especially for a beginner and may well put some beginners off crochet for life. It’s certainly going to stop a lot of people subscribing to “I like crochet” which is the purpose of offering a free pattern. I came here via an email I got which I expect goes to thousands of people. That’s a lot of potential customers to show lack of professionalism to.
Wow. I found this pattern and was tickled to be able to access it for free. I am a self taught crocheter, I actually read a few books and learned to crochet and I am able now to use this hobby as part if my pain management regimen as i am disabled and suffer horrific pain daily. So since I find such joy and pleasure in my creations I was amazed and ashamed for some of the ridiculous comments. ..this lady kindly put the effort into sharing her pattern and instead of using the brain in your head to figure out the one dang mistake. You’re all acting like she kicked your best treeing dog….grow up jeeze…if youre already nine rows into a pattern and you cant figure out what comes next…maybe youre just not that good
Amen!
It should be correct if “I Like Crochet” are to encourage people to subscribe. It’s not about kindly sharing a pattern; it’s about getting paid subscriptions. As such this pattern with its errors and lack of guidance/apology/correction is going to have the opposite outcome.
Georgina,
Thank you for your comment. We’re working on correcting the mistakes in this pattern and will post corrections as soon as we can. We apologize for the inconvenience.
-ILikeCrochet Editor
Thank you 🙂
Has the pattern been corrected yet? I am seeing it for the first time now, Jan 2023. But don’t want to start it yet knowing there are errors
Hi Nancy, corrections were made to the pattern above in 2014. To my knowledge, there are no further errors to the pattern. – Nicola, Editor
Can you send me row 10
see reply by myself and debbie for help.
PS I am nothing to do with this website, I just tried to get my head around this pattern like so many others!
i have been crocheting for 50 years and was confused by this one. thank you for the free pattern but could a crocheter please proof read the pattern before posting ? i was considering a subscription but if all the other patterns are goofy like this one, no thank you
Dianna,

Hat looks great! Could I get row 10 and the correction for row 4 . Thank you. JOANNE

Thanks for warning me about the missing row and error….I was going to start this cute hat but will wait to see if it gets corrected. Thanks.

-ILikeCrochet Editor
Seems to me that the purpose of offering a free pattern is to entice me to subscribe….but a pattern full of omissions and errors tells me I need to apply for a job as a proof reader or test crocheter!! Not impressed.
Cathy,
Thank you for your comment. We’re working on correcting the mistakes in this pattern and will post corrections as soon as we can. We apologize for the inconvenience.
-ILikeCrochet Editor
Yes, that would work, too, and end up with virtually the same result in the end. Great to have two versions that work! 🙂 I’ll try my version, because I like the single dcbp to start. 🙂
By the time you get to row 10/11 you are in the same place. The st count in brackets is going to be wrong whatever, as they are a st out by row 4 if you count up the sts in the repeat. That follows for st count all the way through the pattern in both versions.
*Should work*
It is a darn shame that this pattern was published with so many mistakes — Doesn’t someone proofread these patterns to make sure the directions are right. I have crochet for years and never found a free pattern that I could not follow. This one takes the cake and I’d sure like to see someone go over this and correct these mistakes and get this pattern done right. This yarn is not cheap and I was looking forward to wearing it soon, but until this is fixed, I’ll have to just wait and hope that it will be corrected properly. Rd. 5 doesn’t seem to be written properly either. WHAT A MESS!!
Hi D,

Hi, I have been crocheting for a lifetime and I have been working on this pattern. Here is what I have figured out. The first mistake is in row 3, not 4. It should read:
Rnd 3: Ch 2. *1 dcfp around next dc. 2 dcbp around next dc. Rep from * around. Join with sl st to first dcfp
Then, I believe the only other mistake is that after row 9 it should say “rows 10 -14” This is what worked for me. Hope it helps.
I sure hope all of those comments don’t stop you from contributing more freebies. I am truly grateful I am sure others are too.
Hi Nancy,
Thank you for your comment. We’re working on correcting the mistakes in this pattern and will post corrections as soon as we can. We apologize for the inconvenience. I also appreciate your sweet words – we are hoping to still offer free patterns when we can.
-ILikeCrochet Editor
Actually, afai see, it is actually rnd 4 that is missing. Rnd 4 above is actually rnd 5, rnd 5 is rnd 6, etc, until rnd 9 is rnd 10.
Rnd 4 would be:
Rnd 4: Ch 2. *1 dcfp around next dcfp. 2 dcbp around next dcbp. Rep from * around. Join with sl st to first dcfp. (24 sts)
Note that the sts in brackets at ends of rows will be 8 out because of this error.
HTH.
You can save this pattern as a PDF by clicking on “Print”. Then go to the drop-down menu in the lower lefthand corner of the Print screen and then select “Save as PDF”.
To save this pattern you can simply CUT & PASTE it to w word document then save as a pdf or word doc.
Not all of the abbreviations are explained and I’m sure a true beginner needs them all. As someone else suggested, Google “crochet stitch abbreviations” and you can also Google how to make each stitch by name and you will find links to videos on u-tube showing you how to do them. These videos can be very helpful. Some are better than others. Happy crocheting. 🙂
Abbreviations are explained right here in the pattern! Read the whole thing….explanation for the stitches – along with the appropriate abbreviation – is right in the pattern!
I really need Rnd 10…the Print option is nice, but I’d like to add to previous requests for the availability of a PDF we can save!! I am out of printer ink right now! Thank you very much… and hope you can add Rnd 10… since this pattern is only available to us until Friday!

Yes I agree, where is row 10? Did you leave it oùt on purpose?

Thank you! Watching for those 🙂
would love to make hat but need row 10 and correction on row 4
Hi Lisa,
Thank you for your comment. We’re working on correcting the mistakes in this pattern and will post corrections as soon as we can. We apologize for the inconvenience.
-ILikeCrochet Editor
Have you answered the questions about the missing info?
When I buy a pattern, I expect no mistakes and all of the pattern. Row 10 is missing, and by reading the comments above, it seems there is a mistake in Row 4. Please clarify and correct this for me. Thanks.
Hi Marie,
Thank you for your comment. We’re working on correcting the mistakes in this pattern and will post corrections as soon as we can. We apologize for the inconvenience.
-ILikeCrochet Editor
the pattern looks good,after u correct problems,like missing row,etc
The abbreviations, along with descriptions, are at the beginning of the pattern. lol
Have you added the missing row? You should include IN YOUR PATTERN all the abbreviations for special stitches, especially if beginner crocheters are to use it. No one should have to go away from the pattern to find out their meaning. That’s standard practice.

row #10 is missing, hat looks cute, would like to try it for this winter
Hi Nancy,

It seems to me that an increase row is missing after row 3 giving you the missing row 10. I have figured the pattern out and it is a very cute hat that will be nice and warm
Hi Cathy,
Thank you for your comment. We’re working on correcting the mistakes in this pattern and will post corrections as soon as we can. We apologize for the inconvenience.
-ILikeCrochet Editor
Can you give me details of your comment re rows 4 and 10 again please
Would like free pattern.
Thank You for the cute pattern – my grand-daughter thanks you too!
Is it possible that i can receive Row 10 from you? Thanks The pattern looks elegant, also if there is a mistake in Row 4, can you send along the corrected Row 4
Are there directions available for Row 10? Or should I just wing it?
Is there a PDF so that we can download this pattern. Also, can you please add in Row 10.
Thanks
I was going to try this with a chunky yarn. Should that work? Also, I was going to start it tonight but there is no row 10. It just goes from 9 to 11-1. But thanks for the cute pattern. I may just improvise,
Seems like the pattern was written for a bulky yarn. Check the recommended hook size for the yarn you want to use. If it’s a K or L, that’s the same as this pattern uses and it should work up just fine.
You neglected to put in Row 10 of the pattern!
thanks for the pattern. I think I will like this hat. It will be great this winter.
The option to save the pattern as a pdf file would be nice. Thank you.
If you select the option to print at the top, you may have the option to save as a PDF. Otherwise, there are a couple of free programs to print to a PDF – PrimoPDF and Nitro PDF Creator are two that I use.
i just starting the hat and i think that you have a mystake to round 4 and after that its very difficult to continue
Very good job
Thank you the hat is pretty and I will try it soon.
Go to Utube and you can find videos on most stitches. I go there all the time and I have been crocheting for years.
Dbfp means double crochet front post. There are sites that have almost every abbreviation and meanings as well as how to do the type of stitch. Just search, crochet abbreviations
I don’t know all the abbreviations. How can I find out what they mean. This pattern (for the hat) is supposed to be easy for beginners, but it looks like I’m supposed to already know these abbreviations like dcfp. Rep is obviously repeat, but what about the others. Is there a legend somewhere?
search for crochet abbreviations
Buy a beginner’s crochet book…..all abbreviations are there.
The Lion Brand site also has all of that info for free.
Try here: http://www.crochet-basics.com/reading-crochet-patterns.html
The stitch and abbreviation is at top of pattern
The special stitches are listed in the pattern with details on how to create them, like dc (I know this as FPDC = Front Post DC).
When learning how to crochet, I had to stop at every stitch and google, “Crochet- how to (hdc, fpdc, etc.) Crochet on! 🙂
*dcfp (auto correct)
youtube is fabulous for unknown stitches.. that way you get a video tutorial too.. 🙂
