The instructions are written for 3 age groups: toddler, child 5-8, and adult. Using a line from the pattern, I will explain this. "Keeping cont pattern, inc 6 sts on every row, as before to 48 (54-60) sts"...this means you will increase to 48 sts for the toddler size, 54 sts for the child size and 60 sts for the adult size.

I am confused. This pattern appears to be for an adult, but in the pattern it says it is for a toddler. Huh? Which is it please?

This pattern appears quite straight-forward to me. However, I've been crocheting for over 40 years. As stated in some of the other comments, perhaps for the sake of the beginners, abbreviations should be explained or completely spell out the words. Learning promotes progress. Good job here.

This little cap would be perfect if done in all pink and given as a gift for a special lady in your life that has breast cancer. She would wear it with pride and would help her feel special because you made it especially for her. Even can be crocheted in a lighter weight yarn for summer months and still keep her cool. Just a thought I had to share... Happy crocheting...

What these instructions mean Keeping cont pattern inc sts on every row as before to - sts then every following alt row to - sts Continue the pattern increasing by stitches in the same way the increases were done on the previous rounds In round there are single crochets between each increase So in round there are single crochets between each increase in round there are single crochets between each increase and so on until you have the required number of stitches When you have increased to stitches you crochet one round with no increases the next round with increases another round with no increases continuing in this manner until you have stitches You then crochet rounds with no increases If you are a beginner it might be easier to finish with slip stitches rather than reverse crochets and this will still give you a nice look Here's a site with…Read More some nice instructions httpwww anniesattic comcrochetcontent html typeid S And here's a nice chart that shows crochet abbreviations and symbols httpwww crochet orglessonslessonrlessonr html Work - rows even

What do you mean by then every following alt row60 (66,72)sts. I understand the beginning but not the end of the row. Also, work 9(10-12) rows even?

all beginners and easy patterns should include an abbreviations list to keep the students aware of terms used
