Let me know if you have any questions. :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-51366279011837442922019-03-10T09:19:47.968-07:002019-03-10T09:19:47.968-07:00Hey Gretchen!

Question though: on rows 6 and 12, did you mean to drop the first stitch after the slipped stitches to the front? Basically it’s cable 2 front, knit 1, knit 2 from cable needle? And then I’m sort of confused. Mary Kaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-69701081917979955982017-05-20T20:28:22.858-07:002017-05-20T20:28:22.858-07:00Yay!

I'm so glad to hear that you like the pattern, and that it turned out well. :) And the Rainbow Maze is one of my favorites too - especially since the rolled brim can make it grow with the child. My five year old stole it from my littlest some time ago and he still wears it!!!Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-61671326446355093662017-05-20T12:51:23.774-07:002017-05-20T12:51:23.774-07:00What a great hat!

Thanks for all your hat patterns; I've made several of them. My other favorite is your Rainbow Maze Hat. I've made four versions of it during our church's charity knitting group sessions for the local women/children shelter. I love how different each hat looked depending on the variegated yarn color. Thanks for sharing your work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
