Note: If you have trouble keeping the hat on change Rnd 16 to ch 1 *2 sc, sc2tog* instead. Or fasten a couple loops on the inside of the hat and use a hair clip to hold it on. I personally like it the way it is but I know some people like a tighter fit biggrin

For Christmas I was given an awesome book for left over yarn and crocheting it into cute things or useful things. I wanted to start off a bit easy since I'm not used to patterns this is a bit rough for me to understand. I made an awesome fishie first pattern to work out for me properly. I am going to make as many as I can tell I am sick of them lol. Well that isn't my problem I under stand that pattern fully. I have made three of them in one day. So I decided to make some finger puppets for my daughter. Then I look at the pattern and got a little confused here is how it goes.

Pattern Notes
Do not join rounds unless otherwise stated
Mark first stitch of each round
Basic Puppet
Rnd 1: Ch 2, 7sc in 2nd ch from hook. (7sc)
Rnd 2: 2sc in each sc around. (14sc)

Now what I don't get is do I turn? or do I keep going in a circle? Please help... even if its as simple as that its really confusing to me.

No, unless it tells you to turn just keep going around in a circle for as many round as it says.

It took me a while to read and understand patterns, don't worry everyone has to start somewhere.
