Easy Crochet Beanie with Cat Ears

[@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. ;)

[@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.

[@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! 🤗💕

[@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! 🥰

[@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

[@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💅🏽

[@thewitchhut63]

Made it all the way to the ears...without actually showing how it's done, yes, as a crocheter for many , many years, I got confused. "Mimicking" isn't the same as actually doing it. Don't know why the process is escaping me while so many other commenters "got it," but I'll either keep working at it until I get ears, or I search for a tutorial on how to create these ears, LOL! Just confused as to why the KEY feature of this beanie isn't actually worked in the video, but instead, I'll show you how I did it without actually doing it...strange.

i’ve already made two and i’m so obsessed! thank you so much for sharing the pattern!!

LOVE the look of this alternative double crochet to begin the rows!

[@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!

[@annalenafischer5441]

This is an amazing tutorial! Because this is my first time I’m very slow but I’m so proud of the progress already ☺️ thanks 🫶🏻

[@CherilynQ]

You got this! 🥰

[@angiejavonrt]

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!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I was able to follow it thoroughly and creat my own cat beanie and I’m a beginner crocheter 🥰

[@Pissnmentos]

Thank you for this tutorial, the instructions are very clear! I’ve made cat beanies before but didn’t love the pattern I was using. I found this tutorial after being asked to make cat hats for a fundraiser and it’s perfect! I specifically like how this pattern has ribbing and better shaped ears than others ❤

[@CherilynQ]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like my design 🥰

[@edadulaj9328]

We saw some other tutorials but this one showed EXACTLY how to make the cat ears. It's very cute

[@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.

[@jodiemagill01]

Looks like a bee 🐝 hat so cute I love ❤️ cats 🐈 my favorite animals

[@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!

[@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 !

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?

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.

[@boo_hellsing]

My stripes aren't coming together very well. They look "separated" by the alternate color. Any idea why this could be happening?

[@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?

[@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!

[@alessir1440]

@@CherilynQ Thank you!!! Clearly I have completely forgotten all my math skills omg didn’t even realize I didn’t say circumference 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@CherilynQ]

No problem 🥰

[@dianem3437]

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

[@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

[@CherilynQ]

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

[@nataliestoner7498]

hey Cherilyn! love the video. My hat is turning out wonderful so far, it looks lovely. But, there is one, rather major, issue with my piece. I noticed one of the ends kind of forming a slant in the beginning, which I thought would even itself out. It did not. I have made it 14 rows in, and there is about a 45-degree slant on one end of my piece. I'm not 100% sure what I have done wrong and I've tried troubleshooting online, but to no avail. I would appreciate your feedback! Thanks for your time.

[@CherilynQ]

Hi! Thank you so much! It sounds like on that end, at least 1 st is missing. Although it could more likely be 2 sts if it's 45 degree. Does your last row have the same st number as row 1? If not, you may have missed the first st at the very least. I hope this explains the problem 🥰
