| I use the free one for a hat at lionbrand.com. The tight fitting cap is k2, p2, as I recall. It can be made for all types of yarn and for all sizes of heads from baby through men's. |

| I crochet and have used this pattern - Gotcha Covered Hats from Coats & Clark for a few years now. You can vary the yarn and size by following the charts. Also comes in knit version see discussion "Homemade booties stay on best" for a picture of one that I converted into Elmo |

| I've used this one (knit) and adjusted it to my guage once. It was fast, easy and worked out wonderfully. I'm in the process of making another one for my brother's girlfriend. ~ Kit |

| Thanks to all for the responses and info. ironkit, I also looked at the site itself - lots of patterns! |

| I like this one, own one and gave several away. "Julia Roberts" Hat
This pattern that I designed resembles the hat worn by Julia Roberts in the movie Stepmom. This hat should fit snugly. Finished Size: Yarn: Buying one full skein of each will result in four hats with different main colors. Needles: Gauge: Instructions: Start Decreasing For Crown: Size M/L only (Skip these rounds for size S/M): For Both Sizes: Change to dpn on next round. K4, k2tog around (40 sts). Leaving a 8" tail, break yarn and draw through remaining 8 sts. Weave in ends. This pattern is a good pattern to use up scraps you have, or buy an extra skein of yarn on your next sweater to make a matching cap. ©1999 Gale H. Coffey I am no longer aware of which website I got this one from. Moni |

| Moni, I like the hat - thanks much for the directions! |
|
| Thank you for the pattern! I havce several part balls of yarn that would be a nice addition for a hat - to add some colour. One question about when you wrote about decreasing for the crown: "Size M/L only (Skip these rounds for size S/M):" |

| Jane, there are two sizes: S/M (small to medium) and M/L (medium to large). |
|
| If making size Medium/Large then include the two rounds. If making size Small/Medium then don't do, skip. |
|
| I made this hat last night and couldn't believe it worked up so quickly. We are making hats at the college for Caps for Kids so I was told any size from infant to teen would be good. Wanted something more current and this fit the bill. Used the Red Heart Monet but I think I'll make a few more in different colors/sizes - perhaps use up some of those scraps and make it striped. |

| I'm still too new at knitting for anything to be "tried and true," but I designed this cabled/ribbed hat to go with a fingerless gloves pattern I liked. I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. |

| My apologies to both donna and gardenway for not reading the pattern more carefully. < hangs head > Ii is quite obvious to me now that there are only two sizes to the pattern. |

| Jane, I have no idea why you are apologizing. I am constantly missing things. Just today I posted a knitting pattern for someone asking for a crochet pattern. Don't worry about it. |
|
| Jane, don't apologize. Many a time I've read directions that didn't, in the moment, make sense to me! |
|
| So much great information in this thread!! I have been looking for a kids crocheted hooded scarf pattern just can't make a decision!, but i think I will try Angel's crochet Mountain hat instead!! And, Moni, you make me so want to try knitting!!!! Sherri |

| Oops, it is the Gotcha hat that Susan posted that I make all the time. Sometimes I use it as a guide for size and make the body of the hat in a pattern from a layette I am making. These hats are more popular with young moms today than the old fashioned bonnets with strings to tie under the chin. |
