  1. WHAT AM i missing—–should there be 3 directions dk-worsted-bulky I only get 2 dk? and bulky

  2. Thank you so much for this beautiful beanie. I absolutely love the look of moss stitch in any project but this pattern looks so lovely with the cables.

  3. Really looking forward to making this lovely pattern! Just wondering if there is a gauge for the bulky version as well?

    1. Give me a couple of weeks and I’ll get one up. I’m in the midst of writing a pattern for Yarn Magazine and that’s on a deadline and the editor is not pleased if I’m late!

  4. I love this hat. It’s just beautiful. I would be interested in the worsted weight pattern because I knit and donate hats to our local oncology department. Thank you. Robin

    1. It’s on the list Robin. I’ve still got to get my commission patterns for Leahcim and Yarn Magazine done. 😀 it’s so exciting having my patterns published

  5. Hi Tracy, just wanted to say thank you for the easy to understand versions of this lovey pattern and appreciate the behind scenes in making it so.

  6. I would love you to do this pattern in worsted, I have arthritis in my hands and can only knit comfortably with 5mm needles Thanking you for a lovely pattern x

  7. Thank you for your lovely free pattern. I shall be knitting several to give to family.
    Much appreciated.
    Kind regards
    Babs

  8. Thank you so so much:) I would greatly appreciate the pattern for the worsted yarn. It’s what I have mostly in my stash, and would be nice for Chemo Caps. Thank you kindly in advance.
