No, I haven't but modification should be relatively simple - if you're making a teen size I would just make the smaller adult size, and if you want to make a pre-teen size you could make the pattern as written but use one size smaller needles and drop an inch or two in length. If that's not the size you're looking for let me know and I can give you further suggestions. :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-87962605925057555842021-07-31T19:21:37.594-07:002021-07-31T19:21:37.594-07:00Any chance you have this pattern modified for a yo...Any chance you have this pattern modified for a youth size? <br />Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01247073248362025935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-6364468076417584622021-03-18T03:26:12.207-07:002021-03-18T03:26:12.207-07:00You can always post pics on Ravelry!

I used a skein of Buttercream Glossy that I bought last year (I honestly didn't have a clue as to what I'd make with it) and this pattern is perfect for this yarn. The shiny nature of the yarn really helps to show off the texture of the design, and I'm so tickled with my hat. I am looking forward to using the leftover yarn to make a smaller hat or headband using this same design for my 8 yr old daughter, who absolutely fell in love the moment she saw this gorgeous hat. Thank you SO MUCH for your generosity in sharing your well-designed and beautifully written, easy-to-follow instructions. I am certain this will be a really great hat to create gifts for friends and family for years to come!!Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837497341301170383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-64744741930026928302020-02-25T00:08:14.837-08:002020-02-25T00:08:14.837-08:00Include!

However, if you've already worked the beginning on circulars then you really only have two options for the top: dpns or the Magic Loop. Large gauge work on dpns is easiest, so this is a good practice project if you want to give it a shot. You can find tons of tutorials for Magic Loop if you give it a quick Google also. It's not my preferred method but tons of people swear by it, so you may love it too! :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-44422508351060396142018-09-24T16:21:22.699-07:002018-09-24T16:21:22.699-07:00I'm relatively new at knitting, and I prefer a...I'm relatively new at knitting, and I prefer avoiding the dpns work.

First, though, cast on 92, 96, or 100 stitches with a needle that's one size smaller (just depending on kind of a small/medium/large thing - you could even go to 104 if you wanted quite large), work the ribbing, switch to your gauge needles and continue from there! :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-72426361954884668952017-11-13T13:25:22.275-08:002017-11-13T13:25:22.275-08:00Hi Gretchen, I love the pattern but want to knit i...Hi Gretchen, I love the pattern but want to knit it in worsted weight.
