[@oOmaschiOo]

hello there :) as a super beginner, is there any name for that stitch you use that other people commented on? the one for the first DC in each row! I would like to dig deeper into this and learn more about it but I am not confident enough to just learn it from the video yet..any stitch names or suggestions please? Thank you in Advance! and great work :)

[@ladyandrea_1586]

I'm so glad you added in the ear part. It's the only reason I wanted to make this hat. So thank you for not leaving it out. It's a very cute hat.

[@nkosinathimlilo1640]

I'm almost done I'm now resting, but I love the way it's coming out 😊for a 13 year old beginner I'm doing quite well... Hey😁😅slay💅🏽

[@Solar_does_WE1RD_stuff]

@@nkosinathimlilo1640 same but for an 11 year old beginner :3 (except for the yarn being goofy and the first one looking big then small in the middle)

[@ArDeeMee]

Tip: If you feel that the chain start doesn‘t „feel“ right, you can look up how to do a foundation row. This is definitely one of the times that it can make all the difference. TL YarnCrafts did a wonderful tutorial for foundation dc. ;)

[@starfilled]

I just want to say thank you for the clear instructions and the clear zoom in's while you work. I've always struggled with stitching seams of double crochet rows, and now I know how to do it thanks to this video. This will help me when I make this hat, and also in future projects!🥰

[@CherilynQ]

Hi! I'm very glad I helped! 🤗💕

[@annstewart96]

I love this pattern! The only thing I’ll do differently on my next one is stitch up the side, tie off, then place that seem in the middle before stitching up the top. That way the seem will be in the back and not the side. Your tutorial is perfect!

[@maybebuffalo6049]

@annstewart96 that's a very good tip, thank you

[@robinmanzanares3106]

Thank you for adding that about the ears. I've been trying to make this hat over and over, and no one really tells you about the ears. Thank you!! 😊 Finally, my frustrations are over. 🥳

[@CherilynQ]

Hi! So glad to be helpful! 🥰

[@rajannegi3804]

Helu, i have seen 3-4 patterns and made three beanies/hat before this, and I was some how unhappy with how they fit. But gurl this one was just perfect. It was a quick pattern took me 3-4 hours with breaks. Thank you so much for amazing pattern. I used a different yarn and different hook size yet it came out perfectly thank you so much again for this pattern!!!!! the brim came out so perfectly!!

[@alemeli]

omg I made it in one day!!! I´m so happy, this is so rewarding. Thank you so much!!!

[@CherilynQ]

So happy for you! One day is so fast!

[@justjennylynne]

That stitch you used for the first DC in each row is interesting - I've never seen it before. It seems cleaner than a normal turning chain and could make joining those edges a little easier. Looking forward to trying it!

[@TheReal0re0McFlurr]

Yes it’s my fav vs chains it’s called a stacked single crochet

[@bunaynayslay]

Agreed

[@licia796]

Thank you for the video! This is the 3rd beanie I've made from your tutorial. I love how you make the ribbing on this one, it's my first time doing it like that :)

Hi, I’m late to the party, but I did it! I didn’t have any problem. Not sure I did the ears right, they aren’t as good as yours, but are okay. I didn’t want to do the sack hat. I wanted more prominent ears. Looking forward to trying next one so I can clean up my stitches and seams. Thanks!!!

[@lena__lu]

joining the sides was harder than i thought. I messed up some turns and some stiches got twisted up. I got it now and working on the ribbing !

[@oana1111]

I am THE WORST knitter/crocheter in the whole wide world. I tried this tutorial with a bulky yarn (because it had sparkles on Christmas mix of colors and there is a kid who loves cats) and for some reason at a certain point I realized the yarn was finishing. When I looked closer, the "hat" had spread out from it's initial row in a nice fan shape, wide enough to be a skirt :))) Trust me, the kid did try it on as skirt. We settled on turning it into a scarf with a nice button. I am so happy with my result, although it couldn't be further from the initial idea.

[@Thepresident498]

AAAAHHHH I've literally been doing this for three days, why am I so bad at this?? It keeps spreading out.

[@phojanesyhavong6375]

You might have add too many chains in the same loop.

[@Thepresident498]

@Pho Jane Syhavong I think so too, I'm trying to do better but it's kinda hard to tell. Lmao. Hey what happens if it's an uneven number of stiches? op said to make sure it's an even number

[@Some_queer_kid]

@@Thepresident498 in my experience it dosent matter lol

[@korayi_ari]

@@Thepresident498 the even number chain is for the ribbing to get it to match on the seam. It kinda matters if you really look into it

[@chilledcheetah]

@@Thepresident498 hey! ive been making these beanies for awhile... and from the ones I've made, even or uneven numbers shouldn't matter! but, you should make sure that your not doing to many loops on the second row (like going into one more than once) because it makes the beanie get wider and wider. I've had this happen multiple times, and had to start over. but good luck!

would you be able to sew up the sides with a needle instead of doing the slip stitches, or would it turn out differently? love the tutorial :)

Yes, you can do that! Depends on what stitch you use to sew it up. I personally like mattress stitch.

Hello! Really love this hat, and I'm almost finished with it. Though I'm really confused on the part where we shape the ears, do we do a running stitch that stitches the back and front together or do we only stitch through the front side?

Hi! Sorry about the confusion. Go through both pieces together as if they were one.

[@puppiesgacha2948]

Im making mine right now and I may not get a response before I reach the point where ill be as far as the video and ill just see what happens but mine is kinda weird. My crocheting looks right and is actually surprisingly neat for me. The problem comes with the size of it before the joining step. Im at 11 rows and mines only 4 1/4 inches. I guessed that adding on the 12th row will get me just barely to 4 3/4 inches. Thats not near her 6. Should I add another few rows to add one more color stripe or judt leave it at 4 3/4 inches?

[@crimsonmoon2924]

i appreciate the measuring, i use 4 ply its helpful to know if my work is just right.

[@dianem3437]

Why do you change the stich at the end of the row? Just wondering!

[@alessir1440]

Hello!!! So excited to make this, thank you for sharing :D I was just wondering how I could go about measuring the dimensions of the hat. For example, with the hat you made being 10 inches wide, does that mean the diameter of your whole head is 20 inches? Do I measure exactly or do a little more because I want the beanie to be a bit stretchy-er? Thank you :)

[@CherilynQ]

Hi! Thanks for asking. If the beanie width is 10 inches, when it's being worn, it'll be a circle measuring 20 inches in circumference, not in diameter. It might be easier if you just make the beginning chain and then wrap it around your head to measure it. If you want it stretchy, I think some acrylic yarns can help achieve that. Although it depends on the actual yarn, I'm afraid you'd need to look into that more. You can also try using a slightly bigger hook. It should help too!

[@aliciakatsouris]

I didn’t make it big enough for my head shape 😭 (still on the first layer). Should I add more length in the other end and then come back to the other side to add the 2nd color? I’m a beginner idk

Yes you can add more length but I would start from the beginning. I personally think it’s easier that way ❤️

[@tinaminapina6664]

Can I do this with weight 4 yarn and a 5mm hook?

If your weight 4 yarn calls for a 5 mm then yes. Follow the measurements, and not the stitch number ☺️
