And the following stitch counts for the next rows would have also increased by 6.<BR/>So at rnds 22-25, you'll have 96 sts.<BR/>I think that would work, if we have the same gauge.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18083410586195970499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12987692.post-75579615263528902682007-09-28T20:10:00.000-07:002007-09-28T20:10:00.000-07:00Hi!

Sin...Thank you for your interest in my cap pattern. Since I dont have enough time to go over the pattern and the stitches, I suggest for you to google or search for the instructions for the particular stitches. As for the instructions this would probably help you to start:<BR/><B>Rnd 1</B>: Ch 2, 9 hdc in ring. Join to the starting ch. (10 sts) Note: Ch 2 counts as first hdc of each round. Always join rounds with ss. Now crochet in back loops only, unless specified.<BR/><B>Rnd 2</B>: Ch 2, hdc in the same st. (1 hdc in next st, fpdc on same st, 2 hdc on the next st) 4 times, 1 hdc on the last st, fpdc on same st, join to the beginning of round. (20 sts) (5 fpdc) <BR/>The brim will be easy, once you are done with the main part. But you have to do it with two strands of yarn worked together, so the brim will be stiff.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18083410586195970499noreply@blogger.com
