Thank you! I have been using your patterns for years to make holiday hats for Iowa NICUs. I always recommend them when our volunteers ask for pattern suggestions. It is relatively easy to reduce the size by using a smaller hook size or a lighter weight yarn. I appreciate you so much! The families love the cute hats.
I love this pattern. This has been a hard year for many families. These hats are ‘feel good’ things to make for people. Add some fun to our lives again. Thanks for not charging for them, too. I realize people want to make some money for their talents.
But this is just a very kind thing you do and, very thoughtful of you. Thanks so much for what you do!
