(She had had problems with the ball of Taos she had breaking).<BR/><BR/>-Susan-Crystal Palace Yarnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08563053805022352232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18730594.post-831076969465738152007-12-27T07:00:00.000-05:002007-12-27T07:00:00.000-05:00is the yarn for the jinglebell hat a fingering weight?<BR/>I got 60 sts on each of 4 needles and used 5th for knitting but did a couple of rows and it is mammothAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18730594.post-33598690396621489832007-11-13T23:41:00.000-05:002007-11-13T23:41:00.000-05:00This 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? <BR/><BR/>Wondering why there are not separate cast on stitch counts for each of the sizes. Casting on 320 stitches for an infant size seems<BR/>totally out of line.<BR/><BR/>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<BR/>disappointed with the quality of the Taos yarn and would never use it again.<BR/><BR/>It's pretty obvious that someone didn't do a very good job of proofreading this pattern. <BR/><BR/>-Barbara-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18730594.post-47235506258364616372007-11-13T21:29:00.000-05:002007-11-13T21:29:00.000-05:00Love 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.

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<BR/>point needles.<BR/><BR/>Should circular needles be used instead?<BR/><BR/>Would appreciate any help you can give.<BR/><BR/>- Barbara -Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18730594.post-60545655503146447522007-11-05T00:59:00.000-05:002007-11-05T00:59:00.000-05:00I 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?<BR/>~Shanna~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18730594.post-74829369249679781752007-11-03T16:13:00.000-04:002007-11-03T16:13:00.000-04:00Well Congratulations!
