Hats to help kids!

Hi everyone!!  Happy Friday!
If you would like to make some hats to help Middle Schoolers in Vegas, please check out this page for info:

Here is a simple hat pattern that would be a good size to make for the kids:
-----
Bev's Basic Hodge-Podge Beanie  copyright Bev Qualheim 2011


For school kids/teens
Crochet Hook size G or H 
3 oz worsted weight yarn
Gauge: 7  hdc = 2"   6 rows= 2"

Chain 4, join with sl st to form a ring, Ch 2.
Rnd 1: 10 hdc in ring, join with a sl st to the top of the first hdc (not the ch 2)
Rnd 2: 2 hdc in each hdc, join with sl st. Ch 2 (20 hdc)
Rnd 3: 1 hdc in base of ch 2, *1 hdc in next st, 2 hdc in next st.  Repeat from * around, ending with a hdc in base of the ch 2 of the previous row. Join with sl st in the top of 1st hdc of previous row. Ch 2 (30 hdc).
Rnd 4: 1 hdc in base of ch 2, *1 hdc in next 2 sts, 2 hdc in next st.  Repeat from * around, ending with a hdc in base of the ch 2 of the previous row. Join with sl st in the top of 1st hdc of previous row. Ch 2 (40 hdc) (Stop increases here for 6 -12 months and go to row 9)

Rnd 5: 1 hdc in base of ch 2, *1 hdc in next 3 sts, 2 hdc in next st.  Repeat from * around, ending with a hdc in base of the ch 2 of the previous row. Join with sl st in the top of 1st hdc of previous row. Ch 2 (50 hdc) (Stop increases here for an elementary school aged child size and go to row 9)
Rnd 6: 1 hdc in base of ch 2, *1 hdc in next 4 sts, 2 hdc in next st.  Repeat from * around, ending with a hdc in base of the ch 2 of the previous row. Join with sl st in the top of 1st hdc of previous row. Ch 2 (60 hdc) (Stop increases here for teen or small women and go to row 9)

AFTER INCREASES... continue here for the rest of the hat, HDC in each st around until you have 23 rows.  End off, cut 4" tail of yarn and weave that inside.

Thanks!  If you don't crochet or knit, they also need toothbrushes and toothpaste for each student.   Feel free to send those to Suzanne too. 

HUG the ones you love!

In the Basic Hodge-Podge Beanie pattern rows 3-8 say 'in base of the ch 3 of the previous row'. No ch3 is done in a previous row so shouldn't the pattern say 'in base of the ch 2 of the previous row' instead?
