So, if you started with 10 stitches, your earflap would be 5 rows long (10, 8, 6, 4 and 2), but if you started with 12 stitches they would be 6 rows long (12, 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2).

Where you say the earflaps should be so many stitches apart I was just confused as to how the sum works. Do you mean so many stitches apart from the front so the back of the earflaps would be a smaller number stitches apart. For example with the large size the earflaps are twenty four stitches apart, plus ten stitches for each earflap so the back of the earflaps would be sixteen stitches apart to come to the total of the sixty stitches? Thanks very much.Tamakazeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966615392106660118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580822570509206733.post-3641150797367992832014-01-29T11:20:15.952-08:002014-01-29T11:20:15.952-08:00I didn't really have a process.

One thing I did do though, was use a chart kind of like the one here - http://www.eastsidefiberarts.org/topics/items/chemo.html - to give me an idea of the average head circumference and length of different ages. Then I would take the circumference and divide it by pi (3.14) to give me the approximate diameter of the beginning circle of the hat. So, for example, for a 6-12 month old, I would use the 16" measurement (because the hats will stretch some) and divide it by 3.14 to get approximately 5". I would then use trial and error to find a circle that after 4 or 5 increase rounds would measure 5" across. Then I would continue working the hat until it measured the correct length. Sorry, I don't have a simple formula to give you, but I hope this helps.AshleyShinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804692391552447266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580822570509206733.post-88090716770762488412014-01-29T09:26:49.753-08:002014-01-29T09:26:49.753-08:00Hey I was wondering if you could fill me in on how...Hey I was wondering if you could fill me in on how exactly you came up with the figures. I'm in the process of trying to come up with my own. (normally I just make them custom to my kids, but now I have some orders to fill that are different sizes) I am using double strand yarn and a size N hook I've worked up some in your measurements (it varies some) but I thought maybe you had a formula or something that would take away my trial and error some :) Stephanie Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554664479255191135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580822570509206733.post-32701270419309334512013-12-21T08:43:22.261-08:002013-12-21T08:43:22.261-08:00Cool. :) Thanks for getting back to me so quickly...Cool. :) Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

There are lots of videos on youtube that can help you learn how to do it, but essentially, you loop the yarn around twice, and then work the first round of stitches into the loop. When you are finished, you pull the tail to tighten the circle. Another option would be to ch 2 and then work the first round of stitches into the 2nd chain from the hook.
