Can You Crochet a Hat in Less Than Two Hours?

[@bhookedcrochet]

I hope you all enjoyed this slightly different than usual tutorial from me! If you found this more interesting to watch than my regular tutorials, like this comment so I know to keep it up. Here's the link to the pattern : bit.ly/3Vesbwa

How would you go about putting a pom pom on top?

[@CCLovesHawaii]

Thank you for this tutorial! I’m a newbie and after reading the comments I went down 1/2 a hook size and held a tighter tension. It came out perfect. I did change the last slip stitch to a single crochet. It took me a lot longer than 2 hours, but at least it turned out great!

[@leenoah1505]

Great video! ❤ I love how you presented the pattern and the time challenge at the same time.

[@sy2.083]

Ty very much! I have tasked myself with knitting or crocheting about 60 items for fam and friends before Christmas! Finished 18 items! I say all of this to say I’m ALWAYS looking for a faster way to create! My downfall has been having to do video crochet or knit alongs having to pause and work or follow a written pattern! When u so SIMPLY gave out the number of DCs between each increase, according to the round, that was something I cld jot down easily and over time, memorize-as u suggested! U have a lovely, calm demeanor and I love your teaching style! Ty for really thinking this through from the LEARNER’S perspective!! Awesome sauce🤣.

[@bhookedcrochet]

18 items is AWESOME! That's some serious work!😄😄 This makes me so happy to read! I definitely stepped out of my comfort zone with this one to try something new and make a video unlike any other on my channel. I really wanted it to be educational, but also interesting to watch if someone has no interest in making the hat.

[@dorobensea]

I make toys, including a ball, for rescued cats that I use the BLO style in the round. I find it gives a lovely, ridged spiral pattern and texture. So this is a no brainer for me! BLO for the win!! 💟😽

[@scotchedtapee]

I love this pattern. I’m on my third hat (making Christmas gifts) in a week between work lol

[@NatalieS4956]

Love this pattern. I have a lot of partial skeins of yarn to use up and lots of one off skeins that this is perfect for. I donate hats to my local church and food bank. This is awesome. 👍

[@manondesrochers5729]

I also love the band of the hat. I follow one of your pattern with a sparkle yarn and this hat pattern has been my all time favorite.

[@lavorishampton5181]

I plan to donate a lot of hats during the fall and winter, and these should work up quick...ty 💕

[@marshanotmarcia7433]

WHOA, how did you know I needed a pattern for a friends hat that I am making her??? She needs a new one and this pattern and brim are EXACTLY what I needed! Thank You!!

[@bhookedcrochet]

Perfect!! 💙💙

[@pattyfarghaly1821]

All I can say you make things easy for all if us. Bless your heart. Thank you.

[@Lady_of_Ishpeming]

Happy to have purchased the pattern. It took me a little while longer than 2 hours only because I kept reading the wrong line and having to frog my work back. Being able to print the pattern to follow along with will be a big help! Looking forward to seeing how much time I really take to finish another hat from this pattern (working with solid black was hard!)

[@heatherprivate5500]

Ty 4 this, one of the best hat tutorials I've ever seen. Excellent 👌

[@bhookedcrochet]

Wow, thanks Heather!

[@joycehoward3419]

Awesome, love this pattern. Happy I found your site

[@TheSmokyMountainFlowerFarmer]

Needed your calm demeanor and a quick tutorial! Thank you! 💚

[@bhookedcrochet]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 💙 Happy Friday!

[@KrochetWest]

I love this video but I have a question. I’m on round 23 and it says online to go to round 36. I believe that’ll be way to long. On the video however it shows 9 rounds for the band. I was trying to see which is correct.

[@1968MaryAnne]

Yes, easily!!! Love this one!!

[@josephinepreddy3451]

New to your channel. Thanks for this tutorial. Yay I made it 1 hr 33 mins maybe because I only did 7 rows of brim because I only had 109 yards. I have several balls of Premier Just Active yarn I bought from Dollar Tree (now $1.25 each ball) so I wanted to know if it was enough. I used 5mm hook. Fits my head with good stretch and it's a very nice hat. I will make more. Thank you 😊

[@bhookedcrochet]

You made great time!! Also good to know you were able to make some simple modifications for the materials you had. Cheers!

[@pab2546]

Love this hat! Thanks for the pattern. I wish I could make it in 2 hours! I'm alot slower with RA.

[@miscellaneousmoon327]

One of the reasons I love crocheting hats so much is because they can be so speedy to whip up. One of my absolute favorites to make is the granny stripe hat, it's lightweight and I can make one in about 45 minutes to an hour. Variations on a double crochet hat are easily done in two hours or less as well.

[@eileenjakob6588]

how do you workthe stitch that you placed a marker inround one in the suceeding rounds

[@EJsDaughter]

Hi. I usually go in both those back loops. Going to try this method as well. Thanks.

[@Beeknottycrochet]

I just made this, I love it and it works up so fast. TYSM

[@tonilynnp]

I can whip out a simple worsted weight hat in around an hour, and most hats in less than 2 depending on the complexity of the pattern. But I've also been crocheting for 40+ years. That being said, I don't always crochet with that kind of focus. It's not about how fast you get there, it's about the journey, too! I find that the more pressure involved in finishing an item on a deadline, the less I enjoy to process.

[@netted7283]

Thanks for the video. Beautiful colour yarn. Will try this pattern 🤗

[@AnkaaraEnor]

I'm excited to challenge myself with this hat!

[@Jenny-ni5bp]

Thank you for this I have Ferris wheel I’m going to have to try this .

[@Gotjava]

This was a great tutorial and I love the hat design.

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it 💙

[@marissabeidler9057]

Could I make the sides/body longer so then I can fold the band up?

[@MrsNatae]

enjoyed watching it. wish I could have followed along it is impossible to do so.

[@lilbitofsouthernspirit7788]

Love how you did this🙃

[@evettesamuel]

BEAUTIFUL hat

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you, Evette!

Please keep up the good work I Love it

[@louisam1085]

hey do you think this would work with mohair?

[@sonyahouk1503]

Love the hat but really don't understand what your mean about the increases and don't know how to read patterns wish I did thank you for sharing

[@bessiegilliland3245]

Increase is just 2 DC in one stitch. She does an increase in the first st then 1 DC in the next stitch and repeat around. The next row is increase in first stitch then 1 DC in each of the next 2 stitches and repeat around. The next row will have an increase then 1 DC in next 3 stitches repeat around. The last row of increases will have an increase in first stitch and 1 DC in next 4 stitches repeat around. I hope this helps.

[@michellesewell9552]

Thank you so much, I was in the same position as Sonya. I appreciate your reply and explanation!! 😊

[@CrystalsVanity]

@@bessiegilliland3245thank youuuu!! I was super confused! Wishing we could’ve seen a few photos or one row of what that looked like for row 3. I learn a little differently so I needed a bit extra. You are appreciated. Great pattern!

[@lilybatt2862]

Great pattern, however I am finding the bbo stitch very challenging😮 Is there another stitch that can be used for the band? I would greatly appreciate some feedback- thank you :)

[@KathrynDoe]

Hi- how would I work this hat pattern using a #5 bulky yarn with a size K hook? Thank you

[@deborahm4484]

Thanks for doing this cute hat love it I will use dk yarn I think you call it weight 3.xx

[@bhookedcrochet]

I actually used a #4 yarn for this one so a DK weight will probably turn out too small. Definitely check your gauge before you get too far into it 👍

[@deborahm4484]

@@bhookedcrochet thanks so much for reply I will use 4 weight so.💙💙

[@lauren219]

I tried the large one but think my gauge is off because my hat was finished and the right size/length by the time I reached row 17 🙈 I still like it, although I may play around with the slip stitch edge because it just made it more snug than I'd prefer. The crown was the right size by round 4, so not sure what happened with the rest 😄

[@lauren219]

Narrowed it down to my yarn being aran weight, but one of the thicker/fluffier types and me not being a very tight crocheter. I have a different yarn I think will work better, so ill report back when I've tried that 👍

[@423allisone]

Same! My hat is a little too big for my head. I rolled up the bottom and it looks better. Not too bad for my first hat. I was glad to see your comment though because I crocheted too loose for the first 6 rounds, I believe.

[@amandamccoy5814]

Loved it. Thank you.

[@arr5678]

I’m at the end of round of round six. I’m still working in a spiral. Do I continue that on the sides? I’m confused as to how to end those rows even on the bottom since we don’t slip-stitch at the end of the row. Pretty sure I’m not making sense but hopefully someone understands. 😊

[@h4ideas]

Thanks for the time challenge which I welcome! I've never timed myself in crochet work. So this is fun! However, I stopped at 1 hour 27 mins with a length of 10.5 inches at row 23. I used a 4 weight yarn and 5mm hook, but 4.5mm on the band. Any advice? What is the supposed finished measurement based on your pattern on the two sizes?

[@Momma_J]

This is great!! Thanks for sharing.

[@cathyann3232]

What if I struggle with a magic ring, and want to do slip stitch how many chains do I make? Thank you,

[@cheryld8214]

Most hats is a chain of 4, slip st in the 1st chain

[@jeanbrown4380]

Thanks. I needed that!’

[@30wenn]

How many stitches for the last crown row? 4:28

[@laurenkil]

How does it even out from the spiral of you aren’t joining?

[@emmahudson6841]

What size hat will this make roughly?

[@debras2845]

How about how long to make based on head size. I thought it was based on circumference? Thanks

[@bhookedcrochet]

The difference in the two sizes is done by changing hook size, so it'll be the same time format for both!

[@joansimpson7603]

On the video you say 9 braided rows but in the written pattern there are 20 - I’m confused

[@genevieveramirez596]

I'm here for the same question, I'm making one right now and I'm going to do the 9 rows like in the video. 20 rows I believe is too much.

[@joansimpson7603]

@@genevieveramirez596 me too - I started following the written instructions but ended up frogging a few rows back to the 9 - think it must be a mistake

[@genevieveramirez596]

Also, the last row reads SC in BBO in every stitch and it's actually SLIP STITCH in every BBO. someone asked this question and she confirmed that it's SLIP STITCH in every BBO.

[@joansimpson7603]

@@genevieveramirez596 I did the slip stitch in the BBO but ended up frogging that too as it made it too tight 🤣

[@genevieveramirez596]

@@joansimpson7603 I started completely over with a smaller hook. I'm using Mandala 0mbre and used the suggested hook, (I) and the beanie came out way too big. I'm using a (G) hook now. We'll see how it goes when I come to the last 9 rows!!

[@aidyouka]

Love it especially cause Xmas is upon us and I do a lot of solidarity crochet for hospitals and senior homes and if I add speed I can make even more ☺️ Do you have any tips for fast berets? i really struggled with those can't get the size right ( I mess up the decreases a lot some get huge other get weird and tiny 😱) Older folks like berets more than bennies (especially here in Europe berets are all time favorites)... I make bennies for the kids and teens 😎 more cool vibe 😅.

[@bhookedcrochet]

You know, I don't really have a good beret pattern off the top of my head, but it sounds like something to think about for a future project!

[@aidyouka]

@@bhookedcrochet thank you ☺️ I'm a follower of your channel so I will stay in tune 😊🌹

[@susanmcquaig2927]

Sorry can you do another video to show more of how you work this? I do better with videos than anything. I can’t read patterns. If possible or maybe you have another video like this? Thank you. 😊

[@bhookedcrochet]

I'll certainly keep that in mind for the future. Appreciate your feedback!

[@jane8760]

It’s pretty easy. The crown is done by increasing. Each row has a different amount of hdc between each increase. Once the crown is done you simply move on to hdc rows. I think she said 7 rows.(haven’t downloaded the pattern yet). The band is great and easy also. For a beginner you just have to get used to finding that back bar. Once you get it you get it 😀

[@theastewart6721]

Great pattern Brittany! Thanks for sharing!🤗🤗

[@monicadehoyos6978]

@@jane8760by the time I put the 2dbc increase it starts ruffling. Why? What am I doing wrong???

[@kelleyjogirl]

The video says the last round is slip stitch. The pattern at the link says last round is single crochet. Which is correct? (It does look like you slip stitch in the video, so I guess the sc is a typo?)

[@bhookedcrochet]

Sure is. Thanks so much for bringing that to my attention!

[@terrace1]

I miss your old format, I skipped through the chit chat 🤓 I like the band part of the hat, thank you for your time and creativity 🤩
