I love your videos. They will come in handy. I'll be making many hats for my mother in law. You see she has breast cancer and unfortunately she is losing her hair from treatments but I'll be making her feel a lil better cause of your many videos. Thank you so so very much❣❣❣God bless you and your family.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you Jenny, I wish your MIL all the best xx

[@TotallyTyra]

Thank you so much. I ran into a few bumps along the way but the final result was good. I ended up doing a decrease row because it was slightly too big.

[@paulaalkz]

Finally I get how to customize a hat to fit a specific size. THANK YOU!

[@CrochetwithClare]

+paulaalkz yay! thank you for watching my tutorial

[@howardcinnamon]

U r such a good teacher. Thank u for your time. Enjoy your day

[@pistolpetechilton1247]

I enjoy your tutorials so much! I have learned so much, I'm going to making a lot of your items. Appreciate the time and effort you put in each one. Also appreciate how detailed each one is and so easy to follow.

[@camcab147]

It's a massive difference seeing you working with worsted yarn from your previous DK videos. The worsted reminds me of coloured Udon. I like the weaved stitch marker method; thank you for sharing it. Awesome tutorial. Many thanks :)

[@sherryhass4158]

You are a wonderful teacher, I hope you make many more styles, you make everything so easy to follow! THANK YOU

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Sherry Hass thank you so much for your wonderful feedback

Wonderful I made one for my cousin and now I'm trying to make some for a doll !!! Great job and super easy

[@Mzdiana82]

Clare, great tutorial. I prefer beanies that doesn't have the slip stich and the chains each round, don't like the line they leave. I like the chart you made for figuring out the circumference of each beanie. Your tutorials are always easy to follow and just great. TFS 🖒😊💜🌷

[@stamps2much]

Im so gonna come back to this video as soon as I finish my scarf.I wont have to wait for Zee to come show me how to do a beanie lol it looks easy enough for me tfs..Barbara

[@jeanettemartin2592]

I don't know how you keep up with all of your videos, lol, they are great, I have made a few things and they are all nice and I can actually get them. Thanks for all of your time. Love it.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Some days I run waaaaay behind in getting back to people, with over 700 videos it can get a bit hectic :) Thank you for your great feedback

[@joeygonewalkabout]

I am the proud owner of a 66cm head. Needless to say, it's hard to buy hats. I'm looking forward to having a nice, snug, warm head this winter. Thanks!

[@KateLawrence_kaety]

Following this at the moment hope I can finish this project! :)

[@mariamasini7211]

Thank you so much for all your tutorals i love them you do such a good job and just want to say thank you

[@biblemeditation4115]

hi bobwilson123 i really love the way you toturial its very clear .I wish you can make more different style thank you very much ...for sharing your talent here :-) ...

[@CrochetwithClare]

i have hundreds of different designs with new ones coming out every month. You can find them all here ad on youtube. www.bobwilson123.org/

[@TMac7563]

wow i have never seen u use a magic circle in any other videos very suprised!!!!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

I know right ! I put my big girl pants on and braved my fears of the magic ring :)

[@nanci001]

I have learned a lot from you :) but this tutorial has so much value, thank you! thank you! for all that you share, your like a friend to me ;) Blessing to you and your family.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello NANCY Thank you so much and thank you for watching

[@PennyDunell]

you are very good and you helped me understand. by the way in Australia that particular stitch is called a half treble, you are using American terms, but if that works for you that is fine.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Awesome, yes I teach the American way, because there are more AMericans than Australians

[@janis2348]

I think is time to start crocheting again :)

[@elisabarker7723]

Great tutorial!

[@saturenagail6605]

I've tried and tried to get my seam to be neat but it never looks right, so I will try the yarn as my marker and hope it works, thanks for sharing your talent :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

In this video you do not join at the end of each round and you will not get a seam. You will get a little jog of stitches when you finish off, but I think it looks much better than a seam going the whole length of a hat

[@LisaLove-15]

I learned to crochet in September via KZbin videos. Yours are my favorite! I made this beanie for a gift and loved the way it turned out. Now I'd like to make one for myself to match a scarf I did using half-double crochet, but would like a more slouchy look, is there an easy way to convert this, or another tutorial for a slouchy half-double crochet beanie?

[@CrochetwithClare]

To make a hat and most hat patterns in to a slouch hat, add more rounds and this will make you hat longer and more slouchy :)

[@LisaLove-15]

bobwilson123 Thanks! :)

[@chrissyoliveira3147]

Wow ! I don't know how I found your site . I love it and want to learn more and I want to try to make them all. I plan to start this week. Having surgery next week .so it would be great to have a project.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hope your surgery goes well and welcome to my channel

[@johnwalker516]

Thank you for the post. I likeva tightervweave for more warmth. Will ne sending uo Alaska in the aleitians werr more warmth is required!

[@emiayau9071]

I sometimes use the loose tail from the beginning as my stitch marker.

[@bj76052]

So I love your video, iit's very easy to understand and follow. I even learned something today (magic ring) and love it. I only have one question about the calculation for the measuring the head. In the video you said to multiply it by 3.142 but I think it was just an error. In the instructions printout it states to divide it by 3.142.

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Jeremie Burhans thank you for your comment If you know how big the head is you are making the hat for you divide If you are making the hat and you want to know how big the hat will be bases on the crown of the hat you multiply Hope this clears things up for you

[@mjperfume1523]

Finally got it to print yay,!, My hat looks like a plate though

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Catherine Whittaker thank you for your comment. Sounds like too many increases or your crochet hook is too big

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi Lynne Thank you for your message, I am sorry to disappoint you. I am NOT allowed to make a video tutorial on a free/pay for written pattern/video tutorial without written permission of the designer. It is against copyright laws and KZbin will remove the video. Plus it is not good Karma to steal someone’s design All of the video tutorials that I have on written pattern's, I have FULL WRITTEN PERMISSION to do so What is a dbc ?

[@lynnesita4965]

Clare can u do a tutorial on front post dbc & back post dbc?--it's called a Divine Hat pattern--it can't be that difficult--just not Great teachers like u are--u should see some of the nonsense other people call a tutorial--God Bless U for ur diligence professionalism and thorough commitment to Excellence in Education :))

[@uhmanduhmuhree2691]

I miss you saying "croch-er".

[@lisafalor9146]

I'm new and I'm just can't seem to get it started I don't know if I'm not holding it right I so want to learn so bad is this pattern the best for me to start on I thank u for sharing your talent

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Lisa, if you are talking about the magic ring, it took me AGES to learn how to do and and months to be comfortable in front of the camera haha You can use an alternative method if you want chain 4, then slip stitch to the very first stitch you made. This will create a little circle. You can crochet into that instead Hope this helps and welcome to the world of crochet !

[@barrerafrank]

Struggle with the Magic Ring too, but, been practicing... Ugh.. Left handed here, and except for the Magic Ring, I have never ran into any other problems, that is, learning from right handed teachers...

[@CrochetwithClare]

most struggle with them at first. i struggled with them at first too

[@barrerafrank]

bobwilson123: can't agree more... challenge driven, so it is definitely fun trying to master it... 😊

[@llozano1018]

I haven't made a beanie in a couple years...this one is coming out flat on top so when I fold it in half it's wavy down the sides...it doesnt't gradually get bigger......

[@CrochetwithClare]

+llozano1018 you may have skipped an increase somewhere in a previous round. you could count your increases to make sure they are growing each round

[@yifernlee3582]

hi ,i am following ur tutorial more easy understanding than others,now i had one question regarding the slip stich ,at this tutorial i noted that u dint use slip stich when reach the end of the each row,just continues as normal...now i do my hat same as your design but every time i need to use slip stich for ending the row ,in the end my project will show up a visible line showing like denim...i wish that u can understand with what i mean...when i doing my hat project can i just ignore the ending with slip stich just following as your tutorial.shown.

[@gabbyvelez8208]

Does this go with the tutorial on how to put that bow into it? Or no? The tutorial named: Bow - Licious Hat Crochet Tutorial

[@veenavenugopal857]

Hey Claire, I love your channel and have made a bunch of stuff these last few months. Thank you. I wanted to ask you if there could be a border for this hat? I'm making it for my 9-year -old and feel a border might make it more durable...

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, thank you so much for your great feedback :) I have not got a edging for this hat ... and come tho think of it most of my hats do not have an edging ... maybe this is counted as a edging ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6awZnidi7F_oZY

[@veenavenugopal857]

bobwilson123 Thanks Claire!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Veena Venugopal Your very welcome :)

[@venuslee2806]

Im from the Philippines, can I request if you can have a sub title so I can follow by reading. I like your simple tutorial. thank you🇵🇭

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, sorry I don't have subtitles

[@donyaw.1453]

I'd like to do the hdc beanie but I would like to use the chain up method. Can I do that and if so would it be one chain or two? Love your tutorials.

[@CrochetwithClare]

hi, you can use either, whichever you think looks best

[@mylittleangel2660]

Bob can you please leave me the name of the site that gives you the measurements of heads & headbands Thank you

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, you can find them in my website under helpful information

[@Southernmaidbrat]

Hello Claire! I have always loved your tutorials so thank you! My question is I really like how this hat is seemless but I am needing to change colors at row 8 I am not sure how to do this and it look like a clean join (i know how to add a new color :) ) i think im meaning since the rows stagger up if that makes since.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, yes makes perfect sense, I am not sure, maybe KZbin search a invisible join ? Try something like this maybe ? I havnt watched the whole video, but I think it might work kzbin.info/www/bejne/noCWdGqgnpmEeKc

[@Southernmaidbrat]

thank you so much!

[@irenejones5823]

Do you have this somewhere written pattern that I could download? I find it much easier to do with written pattern in front of me.....Love your work.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes, you can find all my hat patterns here: www.bobwilson123.org/hats.html

[@valgoralski3266]

Should I use the crown part to make the cast and crew cap ? I'm looking for one so I can do your cap on the other video. I'm making it for my husband. and his head is 23 1/2

[@CrochetwithClare]

+Val Goralski Hello, I wouldnt use this video because it is the hdc stitch and the cast off crew hat uses the double crochet stitch, I would use this link, its the dc hat kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2a5mK1uoqlkfrM In the video it tells you how to make the crown to fit the size you need

[@eddyed4015]

thank can i aske you if i give you a written battern would you please make it vedio ????i'm biggener in crochet i faced some deficulties during apply the pattern .

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, I am sorry but i can not make videos/tutorials on patterns that are not my own as it is against copyright laws.

[@ruthbriddon8744]

Hi. apologies if you've covered this but if you change colour will that look odd and not straight? X

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, yes with type of hat that is worked in a spiral, it does look different when you change colours and it will leave a jog

[@teresaolofson1377]

is the green yarn a substitute for the stitch marker or is it for another purpose?

[@CrochetwithClare]

+Teresa Olofson Hello, it is my stitch marker :)

[@hiroerriuga5026]

No está en español y las letras no dejan bien no. Esta la cámara en la labor. Bonito gorro

[@mzdeez8865]

please help. im so sorry but im a beginner and i love your tutorials. i just cant figure out how to do start off by having male height of hat of 10 inches and circumference 24. do i chain 4 first to start? Thank u

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, all hats start the same, you will keep increasing the same as the video until you the piece you are crocheting is about 7.5 inches across The video shows you how to get the measurement and shows you how to make a hat the size you need it I would suggest watching the video first and then make the hat. That way you will have an idea on the construction of the hat

[@ashleybusch4604]

Hi there! I love this pattern but for some reason as I'm doing the increase rounds it turns into a pentagon..?!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Ashley Busch Yes it will start to have side because of how the increases are made, this will even out when you make the sides of the hat :)

[@cindycoyle3052]

hello. can you tell me how many rows you went before ending.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, I can not remember sorry, I crocheted until it was 9 inches

[@richardwestmoreland4681]

What do you recommend for beginner

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, if you would like to make a hat then this would be a good starter :)

[@mjperfume1523]

My hat wont curl up! What am I doing wrong?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, you might have to use a smaller crochet hook. sometimes it can be from too many stitches. Can you send me a photo if you still have the hat to bobwilson123 @hotmail.com.au so I can see what is happening

[@ashleylujan1074]

I am having a very hard time getting the magic circle right. is there any where its clarified in another video? I started with the other video but the hat was turning into a pointy cone shape and you referred someone else with this problem to this video but im having trouble with this instead of the chain four.

[@CrochetwithClare]

This video of the magic circle is pretty clear, if you cant get the hang of it you can just use the chain 4 method instead.

[@ashleylujan1074]

thank you for responding I found another video and I got it down pretty fast. I just finished this beanie last night and it turned out great a little big but my husband loves it.

[@mjperfume1523]

When u put the number to divide, u put in 3.142, is that a mistake or should it be 3.14??? Confusing 4 me

[@CrochetwithClare]

yes it was a mistake. you divide by 3.14 or (pi)

[@arasiviki8286]

the top increasing part of the hat is very flat like a beret. I am not getting a nice shape. does increasing more in the initial rows help with that?

[@CrochetwithClare]

+Arasi Viki Hello, I think your tension maybe too loose, if it doesnt work out with tighter tension then i suggest starting with 8 stitches and then follow the rest of the pattern the same

[@arasiviki8286]

+bobwilson123 thank you! I ended up making the hat lot smaller so when it is stretched on head it looks fine. thank you for the helpful video

[@jeanettemartin2592]

My beanie is not curling????? I have redone and I have two(2) rows into the length, HELP

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Jeanette Martin It may lay a little flat until you stop increasing, make sure your tension is not too loose :)

[@kimberlybarnes5171]

Okay I just wanna know if you can tell me if it matters what size crochet hook I use to get the right size hat? I wanna make this hat for my son whose head circumference is 23-24".

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, no it will not matter as long as you are using a hook that is recommended by the yarn or close enough to that size hook :)

[@kimberlybarnes5171]

Thanx so much for your help and your wonderful videos

[@siegeldude1]

Kimberly BarnesIt more depends on what kind of yarn yo u use, also...

[@briannahuskey3012]

for some reason mine is not coming out right it s not becoming hat shaped it just keeps getting rounder will someone plz tell me what I am coin wrong

[@CrochetwithClare]

If it keeps getting rounder then most likely you are still increasing. When it get's to the right size you just place one stitch in each.

[@gloriasterrett2239]

Where is the description box?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, the description box is under or to the side of the video if watched on a desktop or tablet

[@lauraclay3127]

I can't figure out why I'm curling. I've ripped and redone at least 5 times. Grr

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, I would suggest a smaller hook and starting with less stitches, Try 8 and see how you go. Usually when it goes wavy it is because there is too many stitches

[@nancyporras1278]

What if you want different colors how do I add a different color?

[@CrochetwithClare]

When you finish a row you cut the colour your working with, then you add your new colour with a slip stitch and continue on :)

[@ofeliasanchez8049]

hi

[@klund08]

How do you measure the hat length?

[@ImGinaMarie]

BOB on one of your videos I watched in the past you showed how to figure out how big to make the crown of a hat for a baby/child etc using a formula you had wrote on paper for whatever size you needed the hat to be 3 mos 6 mos 9 and etc.... I can not find the video now do you still have it available?? If so please tell me how to find it in your videos, I looked in your hat videos but none of them seem to be the one I am referring to. :-( TIA :-)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi Ginmars1 you can find all of my helpful crochet informations and general sizing charts here as well as the formula for how to get the perfect fitting hat. www.bobwilson123.org/helpful-crochet-information.html

[@ImGinaMarie]

Thanks Bob it was on the brick stitch tut you did, I finally found it. Couldn't find it on your hat video...Love your tuts and teaching style!! Keep up the awesomeness!!

[@sugerless20]

Having trouble making this. The written pattern says to chain 2 every time you move up a round but the video doesn't say this.

[@NailatheUnicorn]

If you close each round with a slip stitch, chain up 2. If you join the rounds this way, ignore the chain 2.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, I had a quick look at the pattern and I can not see where it says to do a chain 2 each row. You need to get the hdc hat

[@dorisbatista8966]

muy bonito pero esta mudo necesito el video

[@mjperfume7907]

Can u print this pattern, I’m having trouble printing the pattern out! Do I have to buy it first?

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Cathrin Whittaker thank you for your comment. No all of my single patterns are free. If you email me at [e-mail] I can send you a copy and you can try and print it out that way

[@mjperfume1523]

My sides are not coming up, what am I doing wrong?....?...?....

[@CrochetwithClare]

count your stitches and it could also mean you just have not made enough rounds yet

[@eddyed4015]

this size for baby or adults ????

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, in the video tutorial I will show you how to adjust the hat for the size you need to make it for

[@Oniimanju]

of what size is this hay?

[@Oniimanju]

*hat? sorry

[@nanaof6babies]

I hate to be an idiot but...I don't understand the size chart at all. I'm trying to make 12 months - 3 years Hat height = 8" Head Circumference: 18" to 20" Is that inches or cm? Or maybe you could just help a girl out and tell me how many inches across I need for the 12 months to 3 years size? Please?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Have a look here it will help anniespictureperfect.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/how-to-properly-size-crochet-hats-chart.html

[@nanaof6babies]

bobwilson123 Yes it does :) Thank you Claire!

[@notswifemazonna7420]

Its irritating to watch these videos when I try to make something and watch a video and someone crochets too fast I stop the video and then an "error" occurs and won't allow watching the rest of the video. Anyone else have that problem?

[@juniorzane7847]

This is too hard for me😩😩😩😩

[@CrochetwithClare]

this is a beginner's hat. where do you have trouble with the tutorial? I can try to help

[@LanierWayne]

Is this hard

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello. you will need to know how to do a half double crochet stitch and how to do a half double crochet increase :)

[@LanierWayne]

bobwilson123 do you have a website

[@TMac7563]

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@CrochetwithClare]

Slouchy hat kzbin.info/www/bejne/boTdqmyffcl8sKM

[@ministerdr.cherylbenefield5408]

💔

[@carlynekeck2354]

Very disappointed in this tutorial. Did what you said and came out nothing like a hat.

[@CrochetwithClare]

+Carlyne Keck what could have happened is instead of making just one stitch i each stitch around once the increases are done to make the sides go up you could have accidentally made an extra stitch somewhere. you could also try just joining after every round instead of using continuous rounds to make the hat. this may help

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@LanierWayne]

bobwilson123 ok thanks
