Tester call for Crochet pattern: Hill of Tara Hat

I need testers for my Hill of Tara Hat - Crochet ePattern

Would you like to test this hat? It is an easy, beginer friendly pattern, and provides a fun take on a simple beanie.
I love the look of the Pom Pom on a hat, but hate adding polyester puffs to the environment, and find winding Pom Pom makers boring, so this beanie is just made a bit taller and tied at the top, to have its own integrated puff.
I’m looking for testers of any experience level - pattern suitable for those starting out as well as experienced crocheters.

Sizes are small child, large child, small, medium and large adult.

Many thanks,
Ciara

Also, sorry, missed the bit where you were asking about yarn. Any Aran weight yarn will work, I used a merino wool in my samples.

No, just the part you want, I simply made of three parts available to every tester as I couldn’t remember who wanted to do which. Sorry if that caused confusion

I am yes, sorry. Its been a bit chaotic over here. I tried to do your hat several times, but i kept ending up with the wrong stitch count, so will try your neck warmer today. Sorry again!

Nothing to be sorry for, just worried as some testers couldn’t contact me when they tried, so I wanted to check you were doing OK.

If your stitch count is going wrong, you are probably loosing a stitch on the first or last stitch of each row. We’re you ending up with too many, or too few?
Using a stitch marker in the first and last stitch can be helpful. You can send me a photo if you like, I can look and see if I can spot the source of any problems
