I think there is something inherently wrong in the pattern instructions, as I too have a "beehive". There are just not enough total stitches to be accurate. Looking at your picture, there appear to be at least twice as many stitches. So many people like this pattern that it would be a shame if you did not reexamine it and include a total stitch count at the end of each row so we can ensure that we are on the right track. I ended up with only 26 stitches...perfect for a preemie. If you could offer any help I would appreciate it ASAP at: themammabear@hotmail.com Anyone else who could help is also welcome to email me.

I am making it for my son, so I'm not in a huge rush, I just want to make sure I'm following the pattern correctly. I think I will start over and use this as a learning experience. I wonder if I'm interpreting the "hdc in same space" correctly as well. To join, I was just going into the next stitch and pulling my working string through both loops, then chaining 2. It was semi-noticeable, but then at Row 8 it started veering way off to the right. lol I don't know why I had so many problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274616035257802799.post-78103722096223016572012-03-22T19:34:41.522-07:002012-03-22T19:34:41.522-07:00I think I must have a loose stitch as a couple of ...I think I must have a loose stitch as a couple of people have complained about the beehive issue. I have a "technique" for joinings and I think many people vary. However my joinings are always noticeable so I never really worry about it. I find that crochet does stretch quite a bit. If I were you I would finish it off and if it doesn't fit, you may have to save it as a gift for someone else's baby. Like I said though, there is quite a bit of stretch to crochet unless you have a VERY tight stitch. Did you use an H hook?

I just got to Row 17 and the hat just does not look right... I think I might have a tight crochet stitch as well and have a little beehive issue going on. Also, the side of the hat that you "join" to the other side seems longer than the rest of the hat and also the joinings (because I don't know what else to call it, appears like a noticeable waving line. I don't know what I did wrong. I am somewhat new to crocheting and this is my first hat, so maybe it's to be expected. Also, is the bottom of the hat in the picture rolled up? Mine seems to naturally want to roll up, expect for the longer side, and either way looks way smaller than the hat in the above picture. No way it's gonna fit on my sons head. :( Am I doomed to just pull it all out and start over? I don't think I'm joining right. Can anyone help me out, please?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274616035257802799.post-76010698569636459782012-03-18T21:27:35.653-07:002012-03-18T21:27:35.653-07:00Great pattern!

As long as you end with a ch 2 in same space, 6 sc in each of the next six spaces in round 7 you should be perfect.

Are you using the realy soft Caron yarn? I find the soft stuf to be thinner which could be part of the reason. I have a loose stitch so your stitch may be more tight then mine. And yes I used a size H hook. Are you doing a half double crochet stitch or a single stitch? I would try putting 9 stitched in row 1 instead of 7. This will make the initial top of the hat larger and less pointed. You can always continue out with the rows if you feel it is still not long/big enough. Example: Change row 8 to Ch 2, hdc in sm sp, (1 hdc in next 7 ch sp, 2 hdc in next sp) repeat from ( to ) around, join to top of ch 2.<br />Then make rows 9-18 the same as 8-17 are now.
