hi , you will stop the increases (the top section) when it is about 1/2 inch smaller than the head circumference you are making it for

[@NWFLDeaconsWife]

There is an electrician's product called 'shrink tubing' that is used so that the resulting covering is water tight. You can cut it to length, tuck your two ends of wire into it overlapping, and then use a hair dryer or heat gun to shrink it over the entire area it joins. It will stay put without getting yarn gummy and is safe in the washer and renders the ends 'un-poke-able'. :)

This is why I love reading the comments. What a great idea!!! I will pick these up, today. The wire I used for my hats is just floral wire you can get at a garden store. I do a couple of outside rows, instead of just the one outer band.

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there, I didnt actually need to use any of it , the stitches were so tight that it has held its shape :) thank you for watching

[@sherryfrench7320]

Loved your video, love how you leave it open to each person to determine the size of the hat and width of brim. Just a quick note : When starting the first row of the brim, if you crochet in the front loop only, rather than through both loops, the brim will automatically flare out and lay flat. I am making a much smaller versions, like doll size, for my country wedding centerpieces for the tables. One in blue and one in white, blue decorated with white feathers for the hat band with decorative wedding rings, the white with a white pearl band and the rings and a light blue flower on each side where you fold up the brim. Thank you for posting your work, great job.

Love the video it was very clear so you can understand

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you so much!

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI, I go tit from my local hardware store :) thank you for watching

[@susandowns9383]

You can also get shrink tubing to put around the wire ends. That way you don't have to worry about the tape coming loose in the wash

[@CrochetwithClare]

@susandowns9383 thank you for the idea!

[@CrochetwithClare]

ooooo that a fab idea !

[@jazzyblack01]

Really enjoyed this tutorial. I have a few pictures I will try to post. Thanks.

[@karynjensen6019]

I made one I'll post later on FB when I dry it in the sun today! It's beautiful I can't wait to show you!

[@MyssKk22]

I'm going to make this hat for my friend and I can't wait to make it! When I get to the end of the wire, I'm gonna tape the ends together so I don't have a pokin out issue, bc I'd go bonkers and throw it across the room! (trust me! It's happened before! lol) TY for your tutorials! You're awesome! :)

[@anniethomas2873]

I Love your crochet tutorials,You are Great!!!

[@omsoltan11]

really love the video ,im not proffisional crocheter but i think i have an idea for the wire when you over lap them just tape them again together so it wont stick out,love all ur tutorials bobwilson thank u

[@ldywolfhwl]

when at the end working over the wires, after you tape the ends up, you can probly tape them together as well to stop them from sliping around and being uncooperative

[@josephinenadal2250]

SUPER ! je ne comprends pas tout l'anglais, mais un tuto très explicite..... je suis empressée d'essayer.... - merci

[@pennyspivey1981]

Loved your video and thought about how to get the sprayed warm water part that holds the shape, by using a steam iron on that part, since it sprays a warm water mist quite easily. I will have to try it out and see what happens. Thank you for your lovely videos, you are amazing!

[@CrochetwithClare]

That may work but don’t iron any acrylic yarn as it will melt your yarn. It’s just easier to use warm water.

[@CrochetwithClare]

@TheOnlyAustinCusker heheh its summer hear and just had heaps of rain so the grass looks like a jungle :)

[@julliana2ify]

Lovely and clear to understand tutorial ...Season's Greetings my dear and thank you so much for this tutorial ...

[@fLUFFSTUFF1]

Simply Gorgeous!!

[@Readinglady56]

Thank you!

[@Bellamora72001]

so happy been waiting for this

[@KydzLydz]

ooooh i can't wait to make this ..thank you for the tutorial

[@elainemilstead9281]

Instead of overlapping the wire, I'm going to strip the plastic off of both ends and wrap the bare wires together and make a flat surface to crochet over, maybe wrap some yarn over the join spot. I hope it works. Try it next time you do a video. I've enjoyed the ones for this hat.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Great Idea Elaine, thank you for watching my video

[@mzphillygurl]

Amazing Job!!!

[@anandazen30]

Hi Bobby. I made a little monkey amigurumi and the pattern has a hat made os something else, not yarn. I used this pattern (video) and converted into a miniature hat and my monkey has a hat. so cute. Thanks for the guidance. Aida Luna.

[@CrochetwithClare]

@THEMYSYAMIMI it's really up to you. Do you think he could pull off that style?

[@CrochetwithClare]

@jazzyblack01 YAY !!! Where will you post them ?

[@boo54967]

Just love it will make one too

[@88pinkmartini]

I am just about finished the hat and I really wished it was done in the round rather than joined. The seam is really annoying me. Great tutorial though

[@kradax666]

I love you work thanks :)

[@jazzyblack01]

Some are posted on my YT channel.

[@cherylbailey8492]

Can you make the brim wider?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes of course, just keep crocheting until desired size

[@Alex-nl7ml]

Please you can write crochet to your video. I am from Austria and my English is unfortunately not so good, but I would love to wear this hat crochet.

[@Mrmacnmarc86]

Thank you for your videos! You are one of my favorites to watch! I was wondering, how did the warm water work for you? Did you end up having to sotch guard it?

[@luciasignorini7397]

I love this tutorial and it's the closest hat to what I've been looking for. I was actually looking for a cowboy's hat pattern. Do you think if I carry on crocheting a few more rows at the brim and increasing the same amount of stitches I could get away with it?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, sorry for the slow reply, it has been busy at bobwilson123 HQ. Yes I think you could

[@kristinachristensen8555]

My name is Kristina I'm from Aberdeen wa and my turned out good

[@mjperfume1523]

How do you get the shape of the top of the hat to get the part where it starts to go down so it will look more like a hat. Mine is just getting wider and wider and it doesn't have the shape. I can see where u can grab the access of the extra material of the hat and I don't have that on my hat. It s very hard for me to explain what my problem. Basically my hat doesn't look like yours.

[@lela7272]

ძალიან მომეწონა. გასაოცარი ნამუშევარია

[@CrochetwithClare]

@omsoltan11 OMGosh Great minds think alike !!! I thought of this whilst lying in bed trying to get to sleep last night lolol

[@celainefarr7472]

What kind of wire are you using? What can i use if i dont have the same one you have?

[@CrochetwithClare]

I would recommend any plastic coated wire, that way if it gets wet, it won't rust

[@stephaniejohnson7637]

Where can I buy the wire from

[@roxanachavez4779]

Español por favor!!!!!

[@anniethomas2873]

where do I post my pics of my hat, after finish?
