We offered the Ripple Hat for baby, but some are asking for the little mittens pattern. Will you point us to the link for the pattern. Thank you for the hat pattern. Lyn is a very good friend of mine and is a moderator in our Angels4Preemies group. Today is January 4, 2010.

The mittens were just made up as I went…it should be easy enough to reconstruct the pattern, though. I’ll work on it!

I’d love to know the brand of yarn and colorway to make this hat. It’s adorable.

Can I use this pattern to sell make hats to sell…I don’t see anything and while I could do it and not ask I prefer to ask it’s only right

I put the labels somewhere where I wouldn’t lose them, which of course guarantees that now I can’t find them. They’ll turn up sooner or later, though, and I’ll post the yarns that I used when they do.

Of course, Tonya. I don’t feel any need to control the use of the pattern. I hope it’s profitable for you! (Thanks for asking!)

I have been looking for a ripple hat pattern for a long time. I love it! I’m probably going to sell a couple of these in my Etsy shop. I will gladly give you credit for the beautiful pattern! Thanks so much for doing this!!!!!

They are adorable. I make baby hats for a hospital near me and I’m going to use your pattern for the next couple I make. Thank you for sharing your pattern. I like them.

Thank you for this pattern. I would like to make these for gifts. I have 6 grandchildren, but they are too big for these now, but it would be nice for charity gifts also. Thanks again.
