	Name Evelyn September 15, 2006 03:36 PM PDT Please tell me if I can use cotton yarn. Would the instructions be the same???? My daughter wants a "cotton" hat and this one is so pretty. Thanks


	Gracie May 21, 2006 04:22 PM PDT Hey Dot, I am 12 years old and i love to crochet. however, i am having trouble with this pattern because i think the top of my honeycomb hat will be too small. you said it would measure 7" at the end of round 6, but i don't think mine will be quite that big. can i just increase the number of rounds before i start the "honeycomb" part of the hat? anyways i love your patterns.


	Dot December 11, 2005 04:58 AM PST Hi April, I'm glad you figured it out. Good luck with your project.


	April December 11, 2005 02:21 AM PST Hi Dot, I just realized that when I made my first Honeycomb Hat I did it completely wrong! Haha. I thought the "honeycombs" were supposed to line up so I just modified your instructions as I went along. But tonight I'm doing one for a friend's Christmas present and wanted it to be perfect so I took another look at the hat. The first time I couldn't for the life of me figure out what all that slip stitch nonsense at the beginning of row 9 was about - now I know! Uhh ... the honeycombs alternate in each row. Duh.


	Dot November 29, 2005 07:04 AM PST Hi April, I'd love to see a picture. You can email me at bythehook7647 (at) yahoo (dot) com.


	April November 28, 2005 10:45 PM PST Hi Dot, I took a picture of my version of the "Honeycomb Hat." If you'd like me to send you a copy of it, just let me know where to send it.


	Dot November 27, 2005 04:25 AM PST Hi April. Way to go on completing your hat. I'm glad this turned out so good for you. If you have a picture of it, I'd love see it. Happy holidays to you and yours.


	April November 27, 2005 02:34 AM PST Hi Dot, This is the first hat I've ever made, let alone crocheted, and I managed to make it in one evening. I absolutely love it, I made it in a pink/grey/white variegated yarn. I used a J hook and it fits my big fat head quite nicely. Thank you so much for creating this pattern!


	Dot July 14, 2005 04:17 AM PDT You're welcome, Deborah, your changes to the hat sound lovely. I'd bet she looks great in her new outfit.


	Deborah July 13, 2005 09:18 PM PDT Thanks Dot for the gorgeous hat pattern! I made it to go with the poncho that I made the other night for my beloved granddaughter's 8th birthday. I 'cheated' a little at the end of the brim by adding the finish to be like the neck edge of the poncho :) I used the H hook for the first 11 rounds then switched to the J hook to finish ... looks great.


	Dot May 27, 2005 07:35 PM PDT Hi Pat, you're right, round 16 is confusing. Try this, ROUND 16: sl st in next ch-3 space, ch 2, 4 hdc in next ch-3 sp. Repeat from around. Join in first hdc. (72 hdc) Let me know if this is any clearer. I'll make a correction to the pattern to help others. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.


	Pat May 27, 2005 03:59 PM PDT Hi, on the honeycomb hat the instructions for round 16 is a little unclear. Is it just 4 hdc in each ch3 sp? or do I sl st and ch 2 before the hdcs?? thank you


	Dot May 26, 2005 08:26 PM PDT Hi FisherL, I don't know why. Highlight the pattern, copy it and past it into a word document on your pc and save it. That's how I do it whan I find patterns I want.


	FisterL@aol.com Name May 26, 2005 06:44 PM PDT I cannot download your patterns. WHy?


	Dot April 25, 2005 01:10 PM PDT Thank you Christine. Either idea is a good one, but I think I'd add more rows and use the same size hook.


	Christine from Rhode Island April 25, 2005 09:15 AM PDT A very beautiful hat Dot! Thank you for sharing the pattern with us. I made this for myself using an I hook instead of a J because my head size is smaller than average. It turned out fine with the exception of the brim. It wasn't long enough. Maybe next time I'll switch to the J hook for the brim or do an extra round or two of rnd 17. Do you have a suggestion? Thanks again!


	Dot April 21, 2005 11:43 AM PDT Hi Azriel, I'm sorry I can't help you. I don't know how to graph a pattern.


	Azriel April 20, 2005 11:01 PM PDT I can't understand by writing, but by graph (in mesh I can understand it better) perhaps if is not to much too ask to put in on a mesh (pattern) instead of writing. Thank you in advance


	Dot February 18, 2005 07:51 AM PST Thanks, K. Anne.


	K. Anne February 18, 2005 02:56 AM PST Cute! This would make a good summer hat.


	Dot February 17, 2005 06:34 AM PST Thanks Marvie. Hope you have a great trip.


	Marvie February 17, 2005 02:58 AM PST Oh cute! Perfect for my trip next month! Thank you thank you thank you! off to hunt down the perfect yarn.... and hide my other WIP's so I can pretend I have time to make a hat


	Dot February 16, 2005 08:19 PM PST Thanks Vims, glad you like it.


	Vims February 16, 2005 07:10 PM PST oh dot its lovely !! another perfect one for Indian climate!!!!! thanks!!


	Dot February 16, 2005 04:22 PM PST Thanks Rachel. I just called it Honeycomb.


	Rachel February 16, 2005 02:08 PM PST Another nice one!!! Is its official name "Cool and Breezy Honeycomb Hat" or just "Honeycomb Hat"? Thanks.
