Free Crochet Hat with Pompom Pattern

Contradictory instructions not beginner friendly

The hat is pretty but the written instructions do not match the diagram as well as leaving out important information when defining what a hdcf2l is. It is a half double crochet in the front two loops. The “front two loops” was left out completely in the definition and only said “front loop”. I have been crocheting for years using both written instructions and diagrams and I found this confusing.

• We have provided your feedback to the design team regarding the difficulty of the pattern. The hdcf2l is actually worked around the post and then through the front loop. It is not worked through two loops. The stitch is definitely a creative stitch by Daisy Farm Crafts. We are lucky to have her creativity.

Easy to follow!

Easy to follow and there's a scarf pattern to match!

Page 2 and 3 don’t match

Hat is pretty but I have been crocheting for over 35 years and this was confusing. The description of stitches and pattern on page 2 did not match the page 3 drawing. Pattern page 2 says half doubles and the page 3 drawing says single crochet.

Beautiful hat pattern

I am on my 2nd. Hat made with this pattern. I am wondering if I could make it with med. wt. 4 yarn. I am using 5 wt. and it seems a bit bulky.

This pattern is so confusing and rated for beginners. I am an experienced crocheter. The chart has single crochet stitch and the pattern has scf2l. I thought this would be a fun project but it is missing something!

This pattern is rated beginner, I find it hard to understand and I have 40 years experience. I will keep trying, I do like the picture of the had.
