Submitted by sarhibar on Mon, 2013-02-11 11:50.I've found the best way is to place the center spike over the beginning round of the hat, then line the rest of the spikes up from there. If you have locking stitch holders, use them to "clip" the spikes in place until you have them lined up and you're happy with the look. Then go back and stitch them in place. Hope that helps!

Also, it might help to know that when the instructions say:
"With right side of one spike facing, join with sc in ch-2 sp at lower corner of spike to work along lower edge..."
The "lower edge" is the bottom of the spike (not the lower edge of the hat).

It's easy!
Submitted by yarnivore on Wed, 2012-08-08 11:34.You'll love how easy this is. Just keep increasing for a couple more rows (after the point in the pattern where now, you'd work the same number of stitches for a few rows, to make the body of the hat). This will make the crown of the hat wider, which will make the whole hat bigger.
Your other option is to work with a thicker yarn and a bigger hook, which will also make the hat larger. Either will work, though the effect is a little different with each.
Good luck, and show us your work when you're done! We love to help people get started with crochet! :)
