Notes:

• Watch this video by Moogly prior to making hat-  How to change colors in the middle of a row
• When working in the border and picking up different colors be sure to always pick colors up the same way so that they don’t get tangled.  I pick Color A up from the top and Color B from the bottom, making sure it’s the same each time.  If your yarn happens to get tangled be sure to untangle (by moving skeins) as you go or else it will be a mess.
• When working in the heart portion (border) you will not cut your yarn, it will follow along and be stitched over in each row.
• BE SURE not to crochet the heart portion (border) too tightly or to pull the following yarn tight as it will make the hat tight in that section and it won’t fit.
• I highly suggest following my seamless method found here for a professional look and to ensure that all the rows line up properly.  Use the 1^st method for the border/heart section and the 2^nd method for hdc rows and color change rows.
