Comments on: The Sweatshop of Love’s (Eric) Man-Beanie and (Eric) Man-Stocking Cap Pattern http://www.thesweatshopoflove.com/blog/2009/11/08/the-sweatshop-of-loves-eric-man-beanie-and-eric-man-stocking-cap-pattern/ The Sweatshop of Love Blog celebrates every aspect of knitting - from finding a pattern to finishing a project. I publish my own patterns, share everything on my needles, and help knitters of all skill levels get excited about knitting. Never snobby, I use creativity and ingenuity to create finished projects for less. More than anything, The Sweatshop of Lover's Blog LOVES knitting and wants to make you love it, too.

now i’m there, and it doesn’t work!!!

now that i’m at row 3, i have extra stitches.

actually, though, when i look at your pattern, i don’t see how it works for you, either. it says that you should have 40 stitches, but that you should do K2 [P1, K3]. if you did that, you’d have 2 stitches left over when you get to 38. how does your pattern work? there must be a mistake somewhere. one person on ravelry also noticed this error, but a couple of others don’t mention it. maybe that one person and i are missing something; i hope there’s an easy solution!

i’m freaking out, because this is a christmas present, and i need to mail it out on monday :( .

how can i possibly finish this hat and have the decreases look like the rest of the hat? i tore out the third row–which i couldn’t complete–and am back at having finished the second row of decreases. i am left with 56 stitches. if i knit 2, then purl 1 and knit 3 for the rest of the row, i am left with 2 stitches.

please tell me how i can fix this! i really want to send this hat out on monday morning so it can get across the country to my stepdad.

i hope you get this in time! please pardon my stress; i wrote you a message on ravelry but decided to post it here too in the hopes of reaching you as soon as possible.

and i hope you have happy holidays, too, of course! i really appreciate all the help you’ve given me already and the pattern itself.

sincerely,

And I kept finding hat patterns using size 3 needles and dk weight yarn. Not going to happen! This will keep you from crying when he forgets the hat on the subway or, in the case of my little brother, accidentally drops it in a bonfire. Isn’t it frustrating!?
