in this pattern, it states that you decrease until you have 24 stitches.
do you decrease to 24 no matter how many stitches you cast on? or is 24 only related to the 88 stitches used in this pattern?

Zontee says: Hi Gabby, 24 stitches is a pretty good guide if you’re using worsted-weight yarn. If you’re using a thicker (bulky or super bulky) yarn, you may need to decrease to less stitches; if you’re using a thinner yarn, you may want to stop earlier when you have slightly more stitches. Look at your hat and use your judgment.

Hi Diane,

Yes, that’s correct. It may seem like a lot of stitches, but when you pull the yarn through in step 12, it will gather the hat together, and it will look right. Enjoy!

In step eleven it says repeat 9 & 10 until you have 24 stitches – is that correct – it seems like a lot of stitches to end with.

Thanks for the pattern!!

I’m really excited to see the basic crochet pattern. I have some ideas for a hat, but need a template to start from.

Hi I just finished reading your instructions for “The Basic Knitted Hat”
I know it states that the hat would be similar to the hat shown. But for a beginner who follows the instructions and is depending on the photo to see how they’re doing, the rib stitch and the edge on the photo wouldn’t be the same and possibly be confusing to a beginner.
Otherwise it’s a great pattern for one and all.
Thanks…

Zontee says: Hi Irene, that’s correct. For the pattern of the hat above, simply the photo. For a hat more similar to the directions I describe, click the orange link to Jessica’s hat as stated in the directions above.

Are you going to post a blog that goes with the latest podcast? I love the email updates- I uploaded one of the Lionbrand Wallpapers! I actually have had a large pic of yarn up on my wallpaper for a long time, but I like this one- it's very fall-esque!! Thanks to everyone at Lion Brand!
