There is an Amanda Hat tutorial on my website, if you need any help. (P.S. The smaller Amanda Hat that I describe in the video is for a child sized hat, not a baby one. oops!)

UPDATE 5/8/12: After losing the original word processing document of this pattern (how’d I do that??), I wasn’t able to correct the mistake listed below (and I’d found another one) on the pdf copy. So, I took some time off writing the new book today to create a new version of this pattern. There’s an additional picture, lace chart, metric conversions, mistakes corrected (yay!) and a tip for a boyish variation of the hat. Hope you like it!

UPDATE 12/18/11: I’ll be posting an updated version of this pattern…I accidentally wrote that you needed to slip the stitches knit wise (when I should have written purl wise) and I forgot to add the “end with a k1” on Row 3 of the lace background pattern. Sorry about that!
