In reply to Jane Anchill. Hi! I believe it's Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in Raspberry, but I'm having trouble finding it online and am wondering if that particular color has possibly been discontinued...

Just wondered exactly what pink worsted yarn you used for the watermelon hat–brand, color? It is a great color. Looking forward to making this cute hat.

Could you show a picture of the underside with the seeds? I’m not exactly sure what I’m cutting and knotting and how to carry the yarn from seed to seed.

For seeds I opted to use embroidery thread (3 Or 4 strands) ..instead of yarn,is much easier to weave in/hide on backside.. sn.

In reply to tess. This is tough when you have one color that's much darker. If you're knitting the seeds in as you go along, honestly, I would just carry the brown yarn inside up to the next row that you need it. Every 6th row is a little bit long to carry it, but it would be worth it not to have ends for each of those rows! If you can reduce the number of ends that will really help!

Thank you for all of your free patterns. I’ve made a half dozen of these little watermelon darlings to donate.
I k5melon k1brown across on every 6th row to create an allover pattern of seeds but I can’t for the life of me hide the carried brown yarn effectively.
I’ve tried knitting in the ends as I go. I’ve tried weaving in ends w a yarn needle. I’ve searched the web & tried all sorts of methods for weaving in ends w no luck. What’s your secret.

Hi Pam! I’m really sorry you’re having a bad day. Both the free and paid patterns contain gauge information. I’m sorry if it was hard for you to find. The gauge for this pattern is 20 stitches = 4 inches. I’m happy to provide a free version of this pattern and if you choose to upgrade to the ad free printable version, I sincerely appreciate the support, web hosting is so expensive! The few ads I do have help me pay for the hundreds of dollars a year it costs to host the site. I wish I could afford to do it for free, wouldn’t that be amazing if I was independently wealthy? Unfortunately, I am just a regular person, just like you. Please come back and enjoy the hundreds of posts and patterns I have provided for free again sometime. Have a wonderful weekend!

In reply to Kate from Vancouver now in London.

Hi Kate!
You know what? I do hats both ways, so really it doesn’t matter, you can pick which you think looks better. But you’re right, the pattern and the hat don’t match. I should update that! Thanks for pointing it out! Happy knitting!

Hi!

Adorable pattern!

Just one question though… I note that the printed pattern says K1 P1 rib, but the photos show K2 P2 rib – is this a typo or did you mean for it to be K1 P1?

Just curious… will be making this up for my little girl in the near future. 🙂
