Is there any way this could be done in single or double stitch? I haven't learn this stitch yet.
Hi Molly, you can find tutorials for half double crochets on YouTube. It's super easy.
YouTube it it’s really easy 🙂
Hello Molly!
Probably, but I haven't altered the pattern to use just those stitches though, sorry!
This stitch is a very easy one to learn though, maybe give it a go?

Hey Olivia, I just love your patterns!! Is there a link to see all of your character hats hun?
I was looking high and low for Minnie Mouse diaper set. Have you done that? I got the slippers. Was hoping to make both Mickey and Minnie complete sets.
Can you use medium weight 4ply? If you can want size hook.
Thank You
I used a G
I want to make one for 6-9 month old what hook should I use? TIA
Adorable! You have the best patterns. I look forward to crafting right away
This has got to be the cutest thing I've ever seen. Except of course, my grandson when I see him in it! No seriously, so easy, but so very unique and fun. Thank you!
I'm having some issues with the pattern. When I get to round 3, I only get 23 stitches at the end. What am I doing wrong? Please help!
Thank you so much for this pattern. I tried it and made a beautiful custom for our friends' wedding so they can use it as a decoration or custom for baby photo shoothings.I really enjoyed making it.Thanks
I am not able to bring the pattern up on the computer. I brought it up a few weeks ago but I am not able to get anything but the comments now.
Thank you for a great explanation. I was looking online for a similar idea and really appreciate it

I am going to try this. Wish me luck. But most of all I thank you ever so much for the free pattern. I have a lot of arthritis in my hands so I do this and knitting to help keep my fingers and hands and wrist working. I don’t have a lot of money so I thank you for the free patterns. I am looking for a pattern to make my nephews a Batman hat and cape so the can play pretend. If you know where I might find one I would really appreciate any help. Thank you once again. Ada
How much yarn is needed for this outfit?.
Please add me to your mailing list. I’ve seen a couple patterns on your website I’d like to try. I’m interested in seeing more. Thank you so much!
These are adorables!!!
I would love to make these into bigger size for my baby. Would you kindly advise a pattern for 3-6months or 6-9months? Thank you in advance!
Can you adapt this to 4 weight yarn?
I’ve been trying to get the materi to do this project. Just can’t contact you to buy everything I need to do this.
Hi Olivia, I enjoyed doing this mickey mouse outfit but I loved the way the hat turned out and I was wondering if there is a pattern for this but for adult size?
Hi Olivia!
I have really loved using this pattern. It’s super easy to follow! I have also changed out the colors and done (in addition to mickey) a Winnie the pooh and I’m working on Mike Wazoski.
Hi Olivia,
I would love to make your Mackey mouse diaper cover in a 6-9 month size. Can you suggest a hook size or instruct me on how to adjust the pattern for that size. Thank you!
