A little bit about me....my name is Frannie, and I live in the US. I am a mom/stepmom of 6. When my nest emptied, I needed to find places to focus my energy. I fell in love with crocheting and yarn. I'm still learning...it seems there's an endless supply of techniques and projects. Join me on my crochet journey...let's learn together.💕

[@FranniesHair]

I wanted to specify that you'll need 2 smaller skeins (not the double size) to make this hat.🧶💕

[@d.j3390]

Thank you.💜

[@liap1293]

I really like the dressier look of this hat. A hat & scarf set would be quite lovely.

I got a little sidetracked with my move, but I still intend to make a scarf out of this.❤️

[@montyboy9809]

Never thought to use that yarn for a hat. Pretty cool but yes hard to find stitches. I used it on a boarder for slippers and it was hard.

[@FranniesHair]

I was thinking about doing slippers with it...how are the slippers?

Love the way you hats turned out but as a beginner I’m a bit worried if I can’t see my stitches. Hopefully I can make one of these for this winter upcoming as Christmas gifts. Thanks for sharing🙏🏻

It's actually not that difficult. The secret is that if you can't see it...neither can they😂😂😂.

@@tammyk.stresslessjoy1524 I should have called it the snow bunny hat!

[@donnaingoglia6916]

LOVE this. My dear friend really wants one. She and her girls have large heads. How do I gauge the correct size of the circular dome part before building depth with sc?

[@FranniesHair]

Hi Donna, What I would do is measure the circumference of their heads and then measure the circumference of the top of your hat as you add increase rounds. Keep in mind that this hat does have stretch to it so you may want the measurement of the crown of your hat slightly smaller than their head measurements. For each increase round, you'll add a sc before the increase. For example, R1 was 2sc in each st, R2 was a sc in one st and 2 sc in the next (repeated around), R3 would be a sc in each of the first 2 sts then 2 sc in the next st (repeated around)...and so on. Does this make sense?

[@donnaingoglia6916]

@@FranniesHair makes perfect sense. She will love it. I already ordered the yarn and I'll make it next time we have a visit and send her home with it...ty you're a doll!

[@PaigeLovesPumpkins]

One hat calls for two skeins. What size skeins? Small skeins or large skeins?

[@FranniesHair]

The small ones. I should have been more specific. I’ll pin a comment. Thank you!

[@ireneterschure7548]

Cool idee

[@dawnadams6009]

Hi! I made this hat to give to my mother for her birthday. Did you ever make the scarf? It would be nice to do a matching set. 😊

[@FranniesHair]

That’s great! Funny you should mention the scarf. I didn’t do the scarf yet, but I was just looking in my stash closet and thinking I should. Coming soon…😁

[@eileenniehaus5368]

I like the look but I don’t think I have the patience to work with that yarn. The yarn needle is cool though, I’ve never seen one like that.

[@larainewoodruff3739]

My friend asked me to crochet this hat for her. I’m using the same yarn and watched your tutorial. I did the 6 rows fit and it’s very small. I’ve ripped it apart a couple times thinking I missed a step or maybe my hand stitch tension was too tight but it’s not any different. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

[@FranniesHair]

If the fit is too tight, I would start the first round with one or two more stitches. So if you start with 7 stitches, after you do 2 stitches in each stitch for the second round, you'll have 14 stitches...and so on. I hope this makes sense. If not, feel free to email me at frannie@frannieshair .com

[@larainewoodruff3739]

Thank you !! I experimented last night and started with 7 stitches and just saw your reply. It’s way better now and it’s a great fit. I’ll be sending it to my friend and hope her head is like mine 😉. Love your content ❤ and really appreciate your reply.

[@EllieLeyvascraftsandmore]

💕🥰💕

[@vickibreaux2624]

I finally made the hat today. I couldn’t do the magic circle so I did the 5 chains, slip stitched to make a ring. In doing so I have a big hole at the top of my hat. Is there anything I can do to close it up. Thank you in advance.

[@vickibreaux2624]

I fixed the hat.

[@FranniesHair]

Great! What did you do? I was going to suggest turning it inside out sewing it up. That’s the beauty of the magic circle. If you would like, I can post a video of how to do the magic circle.

[@brendawolf2658]

Hello. Well I bought my yarn and made my hat only to realize it wasn’t Thick and Quick. 😮. So you can imagine it turned out small and thin. 😂. Well I didn’t cut my yard. Any suggestions to make thick yarn work? I was trying to make the hat….and later the scarf as gifts for my friend. My hat is really thin and seems “holey”. Thanks!

[@FranniesHair]

You could try using 2 strands at once. That would definitely make your yarn thicker. Which yarn did you buy?

[@brendawolf2658]

Thank you. I will try that. In the meantime I placed order for the thick and quick. I currently have Lion Brand Go for Faux 3.5 oz/100g wt. 65yd. 100% polyester. It’s not thick and quick

[@FranniesHair]

@@brendawolf2658 Let me know how it works.💕

[@dorsethillbeads]

The yarn says to use a N 9mm hook. Are you sure you’re using a S hook 19mm? Thnx

[@FranniesHair]

Yes, I often change the hook size based on the look I'm going for. The S hook makes this project go so fast!🧶😊

[@charlottefreismuth3143]

I started making my hat, but I need to make it bigger and longer can I make 19 or 20 stitches to make my hat bigger and then add my single and 2 double stitches after that? Thanks

[@FranniesHair]

Hi Charlotte, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you...it's been crazy with my move. You can make it bigger several ways. You can start with more stitches, or you can increase more each round. That will increase your diameter. To increase the length, work more rows...and try it on as you go to make sure it's as long as you like it. Hats are great projects to help you practice your skills...they're so easy to try on as you go and adjust quickly. I hope this makes sense to you...if not, please reach back out.💕😊
