Best Bucket Hat Ever Crochet Tutorial / It is Finally "Soon" 😉

Best Bucket Hat Ever Crochet Tutorial / It is Finally "Soon" 😉
It's finally here! I have been wearing this bucket hat in many of my recent videos, and soooo MANY of you have asked me when it is coming out.
I have told all of you "soon".
Well, it is "SOON" today - it is finally here!
Cute, easy to make, perfect for a long-time crocheter and easy enough for the beginner. What a cool hat!
VERY beginner friendly and super fun to make.
You really only need to know Single Crochets and a Magic Circle (Magic Ring) to make it - but I show you the easy way to do that as well! Right here:
• Help! How Do I Crochet...
*************
At round 11 (72 stitches) your circle should have a diameter of approx 4.5-5 inches.
At round 16 (100 stitches), your diameter should be about 6.5 inches.
*************
Ciao friends! If you are so inclined, you can now buy me a coffee. It really helps the channel, and I could use the caffeine, so thanks! 😉 www.buymeacoff...

[@michelleraynor3800]

Would love to know how you made your hat you have on. Thanks for all your great tutorials

[@Honeybee-Hedgehog-Designs]

It would be helpful to measure the top of the hat so we can check the gauge. That way if the circle is too big or small we can change the hook size;I am making it now , I don’t want to 🐸 if it’s too big ?

[@hannahcronin2027]

Im confused 😵‍💫 after the row with 14 stitches in between increases we jump straight to 23 stitchs in between increases? Please help 🙏🏼 thank you 😊

[@jjbing3]

That’s correct. It works. Row 16s pattern is 23 sc, sc inc (repeat) because we only need to increase four stitches. They’re spread out around the hat on four equal places making the stitch count 100.

So this hat fits a 6.5 in.head what about someone who has a 7-7.5 in ?, would you still increase after row 15 like you did for the other rows? I need to make a hat for someone with a 23 1/2 in head measuring around 💜thanks in advance if you see this, I love your work 💜💜

Is there a way to make a hat with this shape but bigger stitches? Single crochet just takes me too long but I love the shape of this

Hi Simlom! I have tried this hat many ways, and the SC is the only one that keeps this particular shape. I do have lots of other bucket hat tutorials posted - check those out, perhaps one of those would fit your needs. Bethany

[@jessicadawn5290]

Is it possible to use cotton yarn to make bucket hats especially for the spring and summer? If yes should the yarn be doubled? It is 4 weight cotton that I purchased from hobby Lobby

[@ThimbleHooks]

Thanks for liking Debra! Beth

[@WhiteBirdMustFly2]

Why does your hook say 5 after all of this time? I used a 3, which was very hard to use. I didn’t see 3 as in 3mm… am I not seeing this clearly @23:45??? I would like the top to not pucker as it’s too wide, I guess, and the hook deal… I went to the store to get a size 3 hook, and there was no such thing.

[@TheAV1986]

I get confused from when we are going in the rounds and then we working on the body of the hat. I don’t know when to switch where I’m doing my stitch outward vs inward. I’m on the brim part and it’s throwing me off!

[@paulinelitalien7746]

I have a question not related to the hat but to the spiral interlac. I hope it’s ok to ask you here as I’ve been looking for an email but couldn’t find it! So here is my question; would it be possible to make a square edge on my spiral Interac blanket? If so, could you show how to do it? I really enjoy making this type of blanket and you really explain so clearly. I also made a couple c2c interlac that turned out pretty nice thanks to your great instructions. Thank you

4 Weight is also called "Medium" - perhaps that will help Marcia. I am not sure if you have Red Heart Super Saver yarn in the UK, but if so that would be the weight you need. I found the below site online - it looks like perhaps you might call it "Aran"...

[@ThimbleHooks]

Hi! My youngest daughter is dyslexic, so I get that... On this video watch from 7 minutes to 8 1/2 minutes. That is where I explain it first. You can also see the same technique on my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHSzgImIeauJb7s Bethany

[@jjbing3]

Which rounds did you change colors for the stripe hat you were wearing during the video?

[@jjbing3]

Ok, everyone. I zoomed in on the hat she’s wearing and it looks like the stripes are six rows (2 green, 2 red, 2 green) just before row 32. So it would be: Row 26 and 27: green Row 28 and 29: red Row 30 and 31: green I’ll verify and let y’all know for certain.

Hi there sorry im lost on row 5.i have 30 stiches from round 4. But the sequence for round 5 is not working for me,i take it im doin it rite with sc,sc,inc,sc,sc,sc,sc,inc. Please help.are u only doin the sc x2, inc at the begining and at the end of row?then in middle its sc x4,inc

[@kassidido1325]

that is correct! you do sc, sc, increase and then sc, sc, sc, sc, inc. at the end, you will only have two sc left. that will make the first two sc and the inc actually four sc and an increase

What size yarn and hook???

[@JayLS1223]

After 14 do we do a row of 15 of just go right into the 23sc?

[@ThimbleHooks]

Hi Jay - I am watching that video right now. I don't understand your question, but go to 16 mins 30 seconds and watch again closely. Hopefully that is what you are asking... I have had hundreds of people make this pattern and have never had a question like that... Bethany

[@hannahcronin2027]

I'm stuck here too, I just don't get it 😕 did you work it out in the end?

[@juliamar-dia5893]

@thimbleHooks I get her question, because I was wondering the same thing. You said in the video 2SC after every 14th SC. Then you said on roll 15, 2SC in between every 23SC.

[@castielkirkman2793]

I did everything you said right and used a 3mm hook with a medium weight yarn and it’s so small it can’t even fit over my head. I’m so disappointed I did everything exactly the same and it’s child sized

[@ThimbleHooks]

That sounds like a tension issue to me. I have made dozens of these, and as you can see in the video, it fits a grown woman just fine. I have never had anyone tell me that theirs turned out to small, but I did have someone once tell me that it fit her husband it was so big. Just need to adjust your tension Beth

[@castielkirkman2793]

@@ThimbleHooks I’m still fairly new to crocheting (about 6 months practice) and I’m not great at adjusting tension. Would you recommend sizing up to a 3.5mm hook if I can’t adjust my tension correctly? Thank you for responding

[@ThimbleHooks]

Hi! Practice this to verify/adjust your tension: At round 11 (72 stitches) your circle should have a diameter of approx 4.5-5 inches. At round 16 (100 stitches), your diameter should be about 6.5 inches. Work towards that, and it will be right on. The 3 1/2 mm might help, but you will need to practice with that as well. Hope that helps! Bethany
