Hi Gina, great pattern! could you tell me what you mean by ending on wrong side row? have tried googling but can't seem to find a clear answer! thanks
Hi! The "wrong side" is the reverse side or the back. Here's a helpful link that will show you the front and back (right and wrong sides) for various knitting stitches: http://blog.berroco.com/2013/03/05/ask-amanda-which-side-of-my-knitting-is-the-right-side/

is this a straight needle pattern?
Yes
Hi Gina, I made the Sutton hat for a co-worker for Xmas which she loves. I would like to know if I can make it with circular needles? Thank you.
Yes you can =)
Do you have gauge? Is the yarn super bulky? Thank you! ?
Yes, it's super bulky. The gauge is 8 sts – 11 rows = 4"
