  1. On the Gamer beanie…I am confused. The picture shows a hat which appears to use the front post stitch but the pattern only uses double and half-double stitches. The stitches using the dc and hdc makes a flat and not a raised look. What am I doing wrong…am I supposed to be doing front post stitches?
    Also, it would really help to know the number of stitches at the end of each row.

    1. Hi,

      It uses only double and half double crochet stitches. Since this was an old pattern, it didn’t have the stitch counts, but I just updated it to include them. Hope this helps!
