  1. How do you use the needle felting tool on this?

  2. I used needle felting tool for felting in ends. Rowing is hard to working in within ugly picking out ends.

  4. Hey there! I tried your pattern, but by row 5, my 'hat' looks more like a round-tipped tube. What am I doing wrong? The pattern is fantastic, but perhaps there's something I'm missing. How does it increase as you move down? Do you have a similar pattern for a smaller weighted yarn/hook?
