CABBAGE PATCH DOLL HAT
This ever-so-ute cap has been (im)patiently
waiting in my “to-do” list for a long time.. and finally it’s turn has
come. I am pretty sure this is on your
list as well, so let’s get to it together, shall we?
This is not my pattern. These are my notes using yarns available in
India.

I have not really changed much for this pattern –
it was just perfect the way it is. I
have just written these notes so we Indians know that this pattern is
available, and that we can work it (without any change) using the locally
available 6-8 ply yarns. If my blog has added any value for you, I’d appreciate
a mention too. Thanks
The most challenging and fun part are looping
those loops. It takes a bit of work, but
once you get started, believe me, you’ll blitz through it.
As we are working in rounds, we don’t work a row
of sc between loop rounds.
Remember to pull
each loop tight before you move onto the next loop. Do not pull it too tight, as you need that sc
to work in the next round of loops J
If you’d like a fringe (as against
these curly loops) along the border of your cap, then as suggested in the video
link, snip through the loops.. and Voila! You have a fringe!
Have fun creating something oh, so cute! .. and I
hope the recipient loves it too.
