**Update - the tutorial is now up. Check it out here.**
When I asked my sis-in-law what her 9 year old would like for her birthday, she didn't hesitate before answering "a VERY long stocking cap with a yarn ball on the end." After searching online I didn't find any crochet patterns that I liked so I decided to see what I could come up with.
I've crocheted quite a few hats so I had a basic idea of what to do. I just started with a much smaller first round and very gradually increased it. I love how it turned out, and my nephew loved it too. In fact, his older brother has now requested one for his birthday in January.

It ended up being three feet long! It went past his waist. As long as his head doesn't grow too much it should last him for quite a while!

I'm going to clean up my notes while I make the second one. Then I'll post it as a free tutorial on here. Keep an eye out for it!
adorable! I used to crochet, but I love sewing now. I am thinking this would be cute as a cotton knit cap! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDelete@Beth D. Thank you for the comment! I bet it would be adorable as a cotton knit as well. It was fun to make.
