Wow! What a great pattern. Makes a plain hat much more interesting xxx

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Thank you! 😊

[@jessicaw5949]

Love this pattern! Easy to follow. The first one I did I accidentally did two lines of white on the last round of it, but liked how it looked so on my second one, I ended up starting at 115 for white (aside from the brim) and each time it was a solid row i did two rounds. Making matching ones for my daughter and me!

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

@@jessicaw5949 wonderful! I am glad that you used the pattern and made it your own! 🥰

[@patriciasalvatore9664]

I love this!!! I have made about 200 hats since June 2024 and my work is nice and neat. I have not tried this but I have tried other patterns with no luck. I have both Addies and 40 Sentro. I am going to try try again!! This is my favorite from all that you have made. I even have both yarns already. Thank you for all you do Shelly!! You are a special lady!!❤

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

@@patriciasalvatore9664 thank you so much for the sweet words! I appreciate you! Please post your finished beanie in my Facebook group when you are done so that I can see it. You will do great! 🥰

[@jeannylacey8026]

Thanks Shelley for the detailed instructions! You make it so easy to understand. And I'll definitely be trying the pomkins 😍

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

You are very welcome my friend! 🥰

[@rendaweidler5712]

Thank you, Shelley, for featuring our Pomkins. You mentioned the Cinch Guide, which now comes with every order, at no extra charge. It really does help you make the opening exactly the right size. We also include some free samples of our fun little Tail-kins in every order. Your beanie is stunning, as usual, and your support is a blessing.

[@debrahoover4831]

Bought some of your pomkins. They are great. You sent some extra little things with the order. I not sure what there for.

[@rendaweidler5712]

Debra, the rectangle with 2 holes is the Cinch Guide that Shelley mentioned. As you cinch the beanie closed, place the Guide in the opening to make sure you don't pull it too tight *Sam actually measured to be sure!!! The other items are free samples of Tail-kins we wanted you to enjoy. We always toss a few extras in every order, because we appreciate your ssupport ❤

[@lisalinden3155]

Where can I order the pomkins?

[@SJ-qk1vs]

oh my gosh, this is just stunning! I was able to finally watch the entire video and gave me so much courage to try this pattern and use my Pomkins, I have been so nervous to try it, but now with this video, I think I can! thank you for sharing your wonderful talents with all of us!

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Your so welcome! You can do it! I know you can. Please show me in my FB group. I really would love to see it. 🥰

[@patfadala-2670]

So pretty. Anxious to try this. Thank you

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

You are very welcome! ❤️

[@ooohhitskaren63]

I saved this video so i can try the pattern. I am still waiting on my machines to arrive. I am gathering patterns and videos on things to try. Hats will be first. I have been ordering supplies as well. Seeing it done is so much easier to understand. You make wonderful, easy to understand videos. I can't wait to get started.

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Thank you so much! You are going to have so much fun!

[@pw9265]

Thank you

My pleasure 🙂

[@marystone7050]

Hi Shelley! Unsure of what I did wrong. I did my first row of A & B thought all was going well and when I switched to row A as I turned the crank all my stitches fell off the needles. Gonna rip it all out and start over. If you see this and know my mistake would appreciate your input. Thanks

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

I do see your comment but I don’t know what you did wrong. Watch very closely how I do it and follow step by step. You can do it. 😍

[@christibourgeau1286]

This is beautiful and your videos are always so wonderful and easy to understand! I was wondering, if I were to make an extra row of the fair isle, what round would you start that on?

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

You could start the patterning on any row. It would look great to have the fair isle start right after the brim and repeat the pattern till the end. If you wear it as a slouchy beanie (brim down) it would be gorgeous.

[@christibourgeau1286]

Oh that would be beautiful! I’ll have to try that. Thank you so much 😊

[@moniboni2094]

Gracias es muy bonito...thanks....

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Your very welcome 😊

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Your very welcome 😊

[@linato1855]

Because I’m used to my Sentro cranking on the right and having the yarn guide in front of me, I have the iPad on my sewing table on my right, then I get up and face the machine as you are in order to see what exactly you’re doing! Lol…someone please tell me I’m not the only one having to do this? Should I place a mirror in front of me? I messed up the first beanie’s pattern just for this….😵‍💫

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Sorry it is hard for you. I took a poll within my FB group asking people if I should change the angle and it was a resounding no. It’s hard to know what to do.

[@Zetasanford]

Where can I find the pomkins? Would love to get some.

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

In the description below the video

[@annecain3301]

I do not have a problem if a pattern goes slightly ‘adrift’. My daughter often says ‘if you live with it, then it is fine’. I will only undo and reknit something if it is glaringly obvious. Thank you so much for your videos they are clear and easy to follow. My addi machines have arrived and now I will be on a learning curve. I am not on FB so I won’t be joining your group.

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Nice to have you as a part of my channel community! Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@AI-xz4mh]

Hi Shelley! For a toddler size beanie (100 rows) and a child size beanie (120 rows) on which rows should I do the second color? 🙏🏼

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

That is a hard question to answer because there are many options. Mid point on the 100 is row 50. Determine how many rows wide you want the brim to be and let’s say it’s 14 rows. Then do 64 rows in one colour and 36 in the other. Then when you fold up the brim it’s a different colour.

[@AI-xz4mh]

@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Shelley I appreciate your replies and I love watching your channel. I have made 4 beanies so far and I am having so much fun with it. Thank you so much 🩷

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

You are very welcome my friend! 💕

[@brendacollier394]

I would love to make this but I only have the Sentro 40 and have no idea how many rows and when to change colors

[@allisoninglis1519]

Hi can I ask what the needles are that you use for finishing? I noticed they have a loop at the end 😮

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

They are metal wool needles. I get them at Walmart or Amazon in a package of 3.

Hi Shelley. 🙀it looks great with the extra row! ❤I will be watching your video again. Do you have any other way of receiving $$ thank you's- other than PayPal? Let me know when you received.

Mine came out as As, not hearts; where did I go wrong?

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Sorry, that would be hard for me to answer. Rewatch the video and hopefully that will help! You can do it. 🥰

Do you mean aluminum foil?

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Yes I do. I have a video on it if you look on my channel.
