[@abdulrahman-xp3pt]

Thank you so very much for the excellent video tutorial! It's so clear and easy to follow and the free pdf pattern is super instructional. By the way our accent is very pleasing to the ear. After successfully making one following the video in teal and yellow milk cotton yarn, which came out so adorable, I am now going to make more with different patterns from the written pattern in thicker yarn. My first grandson is due in January in Northern California, the winter can be bitter cold there. With all the beanies I will make for him, he would be snug and cozy. Thanks to you sweet lady. 🙏 Subscribed!

Thank you, Lynne! I assume if you're watching a video, then you need to actually SEE what's going on, right?! Hahaha! Actually, I get so frustrated with myself when the camera goes blurry and I didn't notice because I'm so focused on what I'm doing!

[@annebk4710]

You're a wonderful teacher. I'm an experienced crocheter and still learned something! Your no-slip-knot technique for beginning a foundation is genius! I also like the wainscot stitch. I always love learning a new stitch! I'm glad to have discovered your site and have subscribed!

What kind words to wake up to, Anne! Thank you!

[@wandabigelow9692]

Very interesting stitch. I've crocheted for many years but never saw this stitch before.

[@sheepishlysharing]

It's not a common stitch, that's for sure! Crocheters who saw my knit version of this hat kept asking for a crochet version but I never could come up with a reasonable facsimile until now!

[@sheepishlysharing]

Thank you, Vannah... you must have a learning style that matches my teaching style! We're all so different but that's a wonderful thing about KZbin... there's something for everyone!

[@ElenaAshe]

Wow, I’ve never started a project without using a slip knot. Your trick on how to start is amazing for me! It took me several times to get it, and then I did it about 10 to 15 times just for fun because, again, it really amazed me! Thank you for this piece of information! I really like your videos.

[@sheepishlysharing]

It takes a minute to lock the technique into your brain but then it's second nature! I really prefer it to the knot.

[@delorisehammond2551]

This a beautiful hat! Watching today, hope to make it soon.

[@sheepishlysharing]

So glad you liked it! Have fun!

[@sandraleyland8748]

Oh my lord. I think even I can do this. You really are an excellent teacher. Wonderful tutorial

Of course you can! All crochet stitches are pretty easy... it’s understanding the pattern that can be the tricky part. Wonderful KZbin helps with that part so now you’re all set! Have fun, Sandra!

Thank you for the joining first chain stitch. I do like the “no knot” in the beginning. Also making the rib band and finish with wool on the same side when finished.

[@sheepishlysharing]

You are so welcome, Karen! Glad I had something helpful to share!

[@LGoodwillie]

This is so great Margaret thank you! Maybe now I will be able to make hats much easier with your help. If I can’t it will not be for your lack of extreme effort! This is so detailed I cannot believe it. You help me to think I am capable of doing more. Thanks to your giving heart. The time you put into your channel, and your videos so that they are very easily understood is so very appreciated! Thank you again! ❤️

[@sheepishlysharing]

You're so welcome, Linda! And I really do put some effort into these tutorials because I feel like we're at a disadvantage because we can't interact as we learn. Since you can't ask me a question and get an immediate answer, I'm trying to be proactive! This may be overkill for some so it's really hard to strike a happy medium.

[@LGoodwillie]

Margaret Olander Your attention to detail is very much appreciated by me. ❤️ Those that are more advanced can take your pattern and run with it. From the point of view of a beginner I cannot tell you how much this helps. I’m going to explain something that may be taken as not nice to say (I hope not) but......I’m almost finished making a cardigan that is tutorial and free pattern on line. It was easy enough because the stitches are only hdc & dc. I have invested a lot of time and yarn on this project but cannot finish it because the sleeves are absolutely not coming out right no matter what I do. I have taken more sleeves apart than I can count. I have watched the video countless times and checked the pattern for accuracy as many times. I just cannot get it to work so finally after weeks of this I have finally put it away unfinished. I’m telling you this story only because this individual does no close ups of her work in the video, nor does she take us step by step with the sleeves at all. She merely says to look at the pattern and that they (the sleeves) are very easy to do as long as you get the increases right. I am doing the increases right. She gives no stitch count for the rows because even the size she made (which btw is the size I was trying to make) she did not go over that because she only made the cuff of the sleeve on camera. Also there are many questions about the pattern (even those that are answered on the video and if everyone would look at the pattern) however of all the many many questions I reviewed I only saw one answer from her and that did not help me. I only say all of this so that you understand how very much your time and attention to detail is so appreciated. In viewing your video I felt as if I was sitting and relaxing right next to you on your couch and watching you do this. Honestly, you made me feel immediately that I can succeed at this! ❤️ Thank you so much for your time Margaret and for your care that you put into your tutorials. Please never feel that they are over kill ever. ❤️😊

[@sheepishlysharing]

Yes... that happens from time to time. Once upon a time, we only had access to purchased patterns in books and magazines. Those have testers and editors that make sure the pattern is written correctly. We still didn't have access to the designer if we had questions but that's just the way things worked! Now is far better for the most part but there is no master editor out there to regulate the quality of patterns. Nor is there a guarantee you'll receive help just because we have a way to reach a designer! I know I get TONS of questions on those Addi machines and while I try to answer each and every one, it's hard. Can you imagine how difficult it is for those big KZbinrs who have tons of subscribers? I suppose if I ever grew my channel to those proportions I'd have to hire help but you never know what someone's circumstances are. No easy answer!

[@aol1545]

Thanks very much for sharing this pattern. I'm an experienced crocheter but never knew the "waistcoat" stitch. Its easy and so pretty.

[@sheepishlysharing]

That stitch was new to me, too! It's not a stretchy as regular crochet stitches but I love the look!

[@susim7975]

I love this hat in crochet. I loom knit and this way looks like the knit one purl one. I will be making this hat style for my granddaughter. Thank you for your pattern. You are a terrific teacher. I love your style.

[@sheepishlysharing]

On a loom the ribbing around the botton would be the K1,P1 but the design on the hat would only be the knit stitch. You would just alternate the colors to achieve the design! Easy pattern to translate to loom knitting! And thank you for the kind words!

[@justdi3347]

Hi, first time watcher here and I love this stitch, first time with this too. I've learned a lesson already that when changing colors to make sure you don't pull the v too tight or it is almost impossible to put hook through. But, I am going to push through it and the next row definitely will be doing looser stitches when changing colors. Thank you for a great video.

[@sheepishlysharing]

What sweet words to wake up to this morning! Thank you, Toby! Just like any big task, breaking down the steps makes it more manageable. For future patterns, if you don't have highlighters (or whatever) handy, just use a pencil and underline the first part, draw dashes under the second part, etc.

I l ove learning new ways to do old stitches. Sometimes I use a particular way one one project & another way on a different project.

Thank you for sharing.

[@sheepishlysharing]

EXACTLY, Nancy! I love how you said that you may vary your technique from project to project. Part of what I love about this hobby is making creative decisions to improve or change a look. The way I was taught to do a HDC2TOG was too tall and bulky to stand in a row of regular HDC.

Thanks for reading the pattern, I've been trying to learn how to use them. I'm going to make this for a friends son

[@sheepishlysharing]

You’re welcome, Bonnie! (I try to included guided patter reading whenever I do a tutorial.)

[@donnamiller7227]

Thank you so much for this video. I have always wondered how to work this pattern and now I think I can do it. I like making hats so now I can add another color to them using up my leftovers. Again thank you 😊

[@sheepishlysharing]

Exactly, Donna! Scraps never looked so good! Ha!

[@deecochrane2340]

Thank you.. so it's ok what I am seeing. I followed you closely and use a stitch marker. I just wanted to check with you thank you

[@phamily6325]

Thanks so much for guiding and sharing! Such invaluable tools xx

[@sheepishlysharing]

You're so welcome! Glad I had something helpful to share!

[@heathersdiamondpaintingand447]

Fantastic tutorial, thank you. I have always hated doing the row around the brim of the hat, but the way you have explained it has certainly stopped me from being frustrated. I'm British and have never heard of waistcoat being said the way your dictionary told you.

[@sheepishlysharing]

I'm a firm believer that there's no "right or wrong" in crochet. You find what works for you and run with it! That's exactly what I do with that "sc around the brim" thing. And thank you for giving me a British insider's pronunciation of waistcoat!

[@nasreenbanu8619]

Explanation is very clean and clear

[@didi8835]

Great pattern Margret, I just love learning new stitches and I will be making this cute little hat for sure. Crochet is always surprising me I learnt another stitch the other day I had not heard of, extended single crochet esc. I really enjoyed your tutorial as well. Thank you, from Di

[@sheepishlysharing]

Ooo...this is a good one for charities, Kathy! Easy to make different sizes and great for putting scraps and open skeins to good use!

[@lorrainehornsby2515]

Excellent tutorial, thank you Margaret...can't wait for your next one!

[@sheepishlysharing]

Oh goodness! Thank you, Lorraine, but it takes me ages to get a tutorial edited not to mention thinking up what may be of interest! Ha! If you have any ideas, let me know!

[@annwithaplan9766]

Thanks. I'm going to try to make a few for my grandson. My granddaughter gets dolls clothes and other stuff, so have to make sure HE gets stuff too haha.

[@sheepishlysharing]

You're such a good grannie, Annie!

[@susanbroomer1087]

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!! Great tutorial; I can’t wait to get started, thanks so much 😁

[@sheepishlysharing]

I'm so glad I could help!

[@CindyKinney]

Hi Margaret. Love this tutorial. Thanks for your time.

[@sheepishlysharing]

These tutorials DO take a lot of time, Cindy, but I'm happy to do it! I was especially happy about these little hats!

[@eigo6840]

Thank you so much am a beginner and this really help, best tutorial ever x

[@sheepishlysharing]

This is definitely not a beginner project so you must have a natural talent!! Great job!

[@eigo6840]

Margaret Olander thank you :-)

[@lindastewart2306]

I would never have tried this stitch with a printed pattern. But with the video it looks doable. You are a marvelous teacher. I also liked the little tip about starting a chain. Yarn over and put end behind and start crocheting. Looks much better.

[@sheepishlysharing]

Thank you, Linda, and I agree.... describing this stitch verbally was difficult enough! It definitely helps to have a visual. And and I'm glad you like my no-knot start. I tend to avoid knots and seams whenever possible!
