Pattern download worked well
The pattern was accurate and easy to read. Working with the bouclé yarn is challenging. To make earflap linings to match the size of the regular yarn ear flaps… it was necessary to diminish the number of stitches. I really like the finished product. Not sure my first hats were great… but they are improving as I go. The first ones should keep a head warm even if they are not “lookers”. ;-)
