    Easy Christmas hat.

    I used some sock elastic in with the ribbing. Just for nice secure fit. Great pattern, easy to follow.

    Wrong numbers

    It tells you to start with 6sts and K1, M1 and you will have 12 sts. But that is wrong. you will have 9 sts. All the sts numbers showed are wrong, however, it does make a great hat once you get your head past the wonky counting.

    • When knitting your Santa Hat, the instructions are for k1 and M1, all the way around. Since you start with 6 stitches, and an M1 happens between the stitches and after EACH stitch, you will be doubling the number of stitches from 6 to 12. If you used a different increase, like kfb, then your counts would come out differently. The numbers are correct as written. Here is a video of an M1 for reference. https://www.yarnspirations.com/blogs/how-to/how-to-make-1?_pos=1&_psq=make+1&_ss=e&_v=1.0

    Wonderful hat

    I've made both sizes, the smaller size is best for pretty much anybody. Everywhere we go people ask where we got them and if I sell them. Instead of only medium weight yarn for the ribbed brim, I use medium weight wide yarn paired together with Bernat velvet in white (med weight as well).

    I don’t see anything here about how much yarn to purchase. How many yards of each color?

    Please clarify the pattern. When it states continue in the manner after round 12. Does that mean to continue round 1 to 12?
