Hello! Thanks for sharing this, but I see one problem. The link to the Free Classic Jumbo Hat is actually pointing to the Tinsel Pompom Beanie. Just wanted to let you know 🙂
Danielle on February 13, 2018 at 10:05 am

Thanks, that’s corrected now!
Jill Rayburn on February 13, 2018 at 10:09 am

You’re very welcome. Thanks again for posting it … I was watching her, and I did like her hat!
Ramona Carmelly on February 13, 2018 at 11:53 am

Great post! THANKS!

One issue: The third link points to the second pattern listing, not the last one.
Danielle on February 13, 2018 at 11:56 am

Thanks Ramona, should be corrected now – please refresh!

How much do they cost? I’m not a knitter, also.
Marly on February 19, 2018 at 12:08 am

Hi there,

First, thank you so much for sharing my pattern. That means a lot to me!

I want to give you a heads up, I had to change the name of my pattern from Chloe Kim to Snowboarder Chunky Hat. (I didn’t want to get sued for using her name, ha ha).

Anyways, when I change the name that change the URL. So I wanted to give you the new URL so you can update the link. Thanks

  You are such a great teacher too Marly – watching your video of this hat made me want it even more. Cross your fingers for me.
Linda Burton on February 19, 2018 at 8:46 am

I would do almost anything to have Chloe’s hat. I figured out it was made by Burton, but will not be for sell. Stated it would be too expensive for them to produce. I have found others that are similar but always something about them that keeps it from being as awesome. Usually it is the pompom which is too ball-like, not “raggity” enough. Yes, please please do the pattern and let us all know when you have.
Thanks so much.
Letty ortiz on February 21, 2018 at 9:11 am

I would like to order this Hat. Please email me at lettynato@yahoo.com.

thank you
SER on February 22, 2018 at 1:53 am

Hi there, great post! I’d like info on ordering the hat too. Thank you!
KimmieC on February 22, 2018 at 1:46 pm

WOW – all of those orders…let me know if you need any help. I’m stressed about the yarn. Everything I see is too yellow, and the yarn in her hat appears to be leaning more to a Winter White – more blue tones, almost grey. Have you found THE yarn to match hers? Just love this hat!
- Danielle on February 22, 2018 at 1:57 pm
  
  Thanks Kimmie, I’ll keep that in mind if I need help!
Natalie FitzPatrick on February 23, 2018 at 12:58 am

Hi
I’d love the Chloe Kim hat! I agree with KimmieC- would like a more winter white color and with the USA patch. Please let me know if you can do it and how much : )
Thank you!

Hi
The Gold Medal Hat by Jen looks perfect!
Joy on February 24, 2018 at 5:24 am

Yes, please do a knit pattern! I would love to knit one. Thank you!
Holly ramos on February 24, 2018 at 6:22 pm

I would love more info on the hat.
Jennifer Kim on February 26, 2018 at 1:07 pm

My daughter wants the exact same hat.
