Snappy Tips

Abbreviations: chain (ch), single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), double crochet (dc), slip stitch (sl st), decrease - single crochet two together (sc2tog), increase - work in the same stitch (2sc), front post double crochet (fpdc), back post double crochet (bpdc) When working in the round, I start with a magic loop of x amount of sts. Others prefer to start with a ch, join with a slip stitch to create a ring, and work x amount of stitches into the ring. I have created a few videos to help explain how I do some things. There are many wonderful instructional videos available for free on youtube and throughout the web. http://www.youtube.com/user/heidishowto?feature=mhee Variations: Most of cookies friends are created basically the same. Change yarn colors, add fur in place of the homestead yarn if desired and the possibilities are endless. Watch for variations on snappy-tots.com.

HEAD AND HAT SIZE CHART

for brand new babies to adult men I prefer to make hats approximately 1" smaller than the head circumference so they will stretch and not be too big. Note: All measurements are approximate and based on "average" head sizes according to several online sources. Hat "height" is the measurement from top of crown to bottom edge.
