thank you.
Thanks for sharing such a cute hat pattern! Can’t wait to try it out.
Hi there!
This pattern is super cute! What size of yellow yarn did you use? I don’t understand the weights. I tried a medium number 4 and I’m not getting the same result. Too much white not enough yellow. Do I need to use a bulkier yarn?
Thanks
Hi Erica,I used bulky yarn
I love this little chicky. But unclear on how to attach the wings. Petty much have a cupped circle. Do I fold it or then attach or attach cupped over the tails? Photo doesn’t show very well how u attached. Thank you
Hi Cindy,
I fold it .
What size hook?

the hook size 6.00mm
