Hat Gauge. How to measure

I’ve got an email that to met gauge for Garden party hook was changed to
smaller size, but hat was a huge anyway.  I was wonder,  because usually I
crochet too tight.  But  then  I found  that gauge measured  NOT correctly.
PLEASE pay attention that if pattern says first 3 rounds = 4” in diameter
(between points A and B) that means that it’s actually 6 rounds (points C-D).
So, actually 3 rounds in diameter = 6 rows = 4″

Gauge copy
Also, please make sure that you are using yarn of similar yardage if you
would like to get the same hat measurements. On the other side, if you
crochet loose/tighter, just use any thinner/thicker yarn or smaller/bigger
crochet hook to obtain gauge.

I’ve just add this diagram to pattern. An updated version of Garden Party
hat can be downloaded here.

Happy crocheting!!

P.S.: I’m sorry for the delay with flower pins pattern. I hopefully finish the
pattern today and will release it right after tech editing.

We are back

Oh my, what a LOVELY place!! If you live close enough, I  would hardly
recommend  this  resort. Especially now, when  outside temperature is
about 50 – 60F, but you have 3 warm (and not least, with NO chlorine!)
pools about the same temperature as your morning shower ;o)

We had a BLAST and enjoined every minute and will be back FOR SURE!

A little trip

HarrisonResort copy 
We are off to Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa, British Columbia this
afternoon  …not “that” planned trip, but  last minute we decided to spoil
ourself a bit and were no wonder that Kristin was SOOO EXCITED, simply
because she can’t wait for swimming season already! ;o)

I’m leaving my stores open and will do my best to manage all purchases
as  soon as possible.  And as you know,  for immediately download,  my
patterns are  available in my Shop, Raverly, YCMT and Barberry shops. 
Please be  patient with me if  here is some delay with response. We will
be back Sunday April, 18. See You then!!

Happy weekend to everyone!
