Well Congratulations! You are such a talented lady! keep those patterns coming...
Again "Congratulations"
I have a question about the Jingle Bell Taos Hat. Materials are listed twice at the beginning of the pattern. The second list seems to make more sense. Is the first list of materials a mistake?

I'm writing for clarification on the above pattern. You would need to cast on 320 stitches to insert 8 bells on the first row according to the pattern instructions. I don't understand how you could possibly accomodate that many stitches on double point needles. It also does not tell you how many stitches to place on each of the double
point needles.
Should circular needles be used instead?
Would appreciate any help you can give.

I found your blog from the site

I can't wait to make this hat :)
Love the hat, and want to make it for a special little girl. But after reading through the brim directions I come up with 160 stitches remaining not the 80 mentioned. Wondering if there is an error or am missing something. Vicki
This is the second time I am writing for clarification on the above pattern. I just worked through the brim section and am coming up with 160 stitches remaining instead of the 80 specified in the pattern. It looks huge! How could it possibly fit an infant or toddler?
Wondering why there are not separate cast on stitch counts for each of the sizes. Casting on 320 stitches for an infant size seems
totally out of line.
I will probably have to start all over again and end up trashing the yarn as it is extemely fragile and breaks easily. I was very
disappointed with the quality of the Taos yarn and would never use it again.
It's pretty obvious that someone didn't do a very good job of proofreading this pattern.

is the yarn for the jinglebell hat a fingering weight?
I got 60 sts on each of 4 needles and used 5th for knitting but did a couple of rows and it is mammoth
Hi,
This is Susan from Crystal Palace Yarns and I wanted to add that Nancy has corrected the pattern and the new version is up on our site at www.straw.com.
Also, I have replaced the yarn that Barbara (above) had problems with and she was pleased to have fresh Taos to re-knit the hat. (She had had problems with the ball of Taos she had breaking).
