Dear Ms Sirin, my 9 year old son has been crocheting for about 8 months now. He has done 4 of your patterns for himself. He has decided to spend the rest of the time we are in quarantine knitting some of your simpler patterns for premie babies in the local hospitals. We managed to buy yarn before the lock down in California. He takes 2-3 days to do one hat so has set a target of three hats a fortnight.

[@FrancienDanielsWebb]

He will be designing rocket projects before you know it. I too am crocheting and knitting and enjoy the excuse that Covid19 has allowed me to use. At close to 69 yo I have been crocheting and knitting for 65 years. If you don’t do anything in those two methods you end up sewing, quilting, macrame etc so he will be making so many useful garments for himself as well as beanies for new borns who arrive with very little and those precious babies deserve so much more. God bless you both and get those needles out soon.

[@SirinsCrochet]

Hi, sorry for late responding. I'm so happy to read your comment. I have a 11 years old daughter and I try to show her some patterns. I know it's so hard to crochet at that age. I congratulate your son and hug him warmly. 💜💜💜 Keep on good work my little friend 😘😘😘

[@gratnam9455]

@@SirinsCrochet Thanks, He has now donated 36 hats. School is restarting so I expect the rate to drop off drastically. But he has produced a lot of other things, a couple of scarves and a tea cosy, Hoping this becomes a life time hobby. I am sure your daughter will enjoy learning, you explain so well!

[@SirinsCrochet]

@@gratnam9455 Thank you ♥ You are so kind. My daughter loves to make embroidery and she likes knitting. Crocheting is still a little hard for her :) I'm so happy to be a little part of your son's beautiful donation project. I hope he could always make a handwork like crocheting which can take all of his stress. And he can also keep helping people with this way ♥♥

[@candyhart100]

How sweet!

[@kylieholloway2186]

Love this pattern! Very thick and warm and easy to make.

[@Automogator]

I made my first ever hat with this pattern and gifted it to my husband before we went to the mountains. It turned out perfectly. Now I’m making one for me 😊 Thank you Sirin!

[@NYtoNC]

Can you give any tips? I can't understand this pattern very well

[@felicialusterino5523]

Thank you for sharing, I made this for a church friend who's always helping me out on my ranch. He loved it. I used an ombre in super saver yarn which came out lovely and nice and warm for winter in AZ mountains!

[@nikkicleveland668]

I have just made this hat using stylecraft aran and a 5mm hook, it worked out great. After the increase rounds I was sure that I had done something wrong as my hat looked like a flat circle! However I kept on going with the repeat round and slowly but surely the hat took shape and I obtained a hat shape. This I my new favourite beanie pattern. Thank you Sirin 😊

[@emmaxxx2035]

AHHHH this same thing happened to me I felt so disheartened I felt like I did something wrong but it also ended up working out:) I'm glad somebody else experienced this🙂

[@icarmalita]

Maybe I quit too soon😂

[@mtaylor2406]

I have a flat circle 7”, will it turn or should I just stop

[@rchirico1]

Oh good! I was thinking id end up with a flat round placemat! Ill keep going.

[@kathy9947]

I'm so glad you left this comment and you kept going to success. I thought I missed something !😊

[@kareninman220]

Thank you so much for this wonderful pattern. I am doing the 10 DC start with a 6mm hook then I switch to a 5.5mm hook for the last 4 rows or so to get a tighter stitch around the ears. Fits my hubby perfectly. I am making many to donate in my area. ❤️🧶

[@marym2440]

Love this pattern . it is just what I was looking for. Our crochet group is making hats for the homeless and this will be nice and warm for the men. Thank you.

Dear Sirin you are the best and sweetest teacher I know. I learn a lot from you and your voice is so soft and sweet . Thank you very much

[@christierosheim8977]

I made 5 of these for family members for Christmas and they were a big hit. I just changed them up by adding stripes like you did in different colors. Finally I made something the men liked! Love your channel and thanks for a great design!

[@SirinsCrochet]

So happy to read they like them Christie. 💜Thanks for let me know. Happy new years. Take care.

[@MrsArxodoula]

Did you make the same size as in the video?

[@trishnemeth7035]

I'm at 6 rows into the pattern repeat, and this fabric is so thick and fluffy! It's going to be so warm, like wearing a blanket on your head! Thank you for the pattern!

I’ve made this beanie 3 times now, and started a fourth. I don’t find your instructions unclear at all. It’s a very easy pattern. Thank you 🙂

[@shondadavis5663]

hi. do you know how many stitches in each row?

Very pleasant tutorial to watch. Teaching my 8 year old granddaughter to crochet. Might have to try this.

My clients at work are going to live this hat. Going to make some for Christmas gifts..thank you for taking time to share with us.

[@roselucas4841]

[@betsythraves]

I love this hat! It was very easy, once I got past the increase rounds. I had to frog those FIVE times before I finally got it right. Sirin, you are one of my favorites for crochet videos. I have to agree with Nadine below on this one, though. Not quite as clear as others of yours, and I would also have found it helpful to have the stitch counts for each row. Now that I've figured it out, though, I'll be making more of these!

[@emmaxxx2035]

Making this for my boyfriend:) he's coming home after being stationed in Georgia for 6 months I'm soooo excited to give it to him!!!!

[@SirinsCrochet]

😻Happy reunions 😍😍 Hope he likes his new hat

[@nelsoph001]

TRUST THE PROCESS TRUST THE PROCESS TRUST THE PROCESS!! Like some other comments I was also concerned about the outcome especially cause of the strange folding, but decided to keep going since I already started. It ends up good! I did use a thicker yarn so it is smaller, meant to be a men's hat but it fit me instead, so be warned if you are using a thicker yarn! Good tutorial!

[@BeatriceBambino]

I'm halfway through but I can't see how it will go from circle to hat. If I keep adding rows it will just become a larger circle... no? sorry I'm a beginner

[@ma1dmar1an]

Thank you so much I have made 3 of these now i love that it stretches to fit even. I am just trying to modify this same pattern for a child now

[@pagelivingbeautifully8252]

Absolutely wonderful pattern! My husband loves his new cozy hat. I searched and searched for a mens beanie that would be warm. This turned out perfect! Beautiful looking and so thick, warm and cozy! I used a 5 weight yarn. Thanks so much for this pattern. The hat looks so professional as well, makes a great gift.

[@alyssavera7131]

Did you crochet with 12 stitches in the round? And did you use the same brand of yarn? Trying to figure out why mine doesn’t look as enclosed as her hat. I had to decrease to get it to fit.

[@aripardono1172]

I've just finished this hat, thanks for your tutorial...good luck

[@rachelcarlson3197]

Love your accent. Your english is very good. Subtitles are great. As previously suggested, consider adding stitch totals at the end of each row in future tutorials. This will assure veteran and novice crocheters they're on the right track.

[@jannah413]

Finally tried using this Caron Lava Cake I’ve had since last year with this tutorial (20%wool- firsts time working with it) I love how it is coming out. Simple yet beautiful and functional. I was wondering how much yarn this might take, now I know I’ll have enough, but I like knowing how much yarn and how many stitches per row/round. Always helpful info to add. But this is a nice hat and a good tutorial, thanks for sharing ❤

[@mazalbuquerque]

I have made this and it’s really great! Thank you. I found it really difficult to get the end-start of the new rows correct and ended up having to undo work several times but I got there in the end. I would love it if tricky bits like the end and the start of a new row are shown more clearly and done a little slower.

You can slow the video down by going to the top right of the video and tapping the 3 dots and then going to video speed and slowing it down.

I have made one, very easy to follow your instructions, thank you very much!!!

[@cynthia8657]

Thanks Sirin! I learned how to do the magic ring. Your instructions are very simple. I completed my hat and the texture is beautiful awesome. Te

[@byzantine_dixie]

I am just putting a few final rows on the beanie and once again must compliment you on your design. I love this fpdc / bpdc stitch because it does two things...it is dense, thereby ensuring warmth for the wearer and it does have plenty of stretch to it so that one size truly should fit all. I have thumbed through a lot of men's stocking cap patterns trying to find something that looked manly and this surely did, although i could see myself wearing one as well with a pom pom. I will be making several of this for Christmas presents this year. I think they will be well received. Thanks again Sirin for your wonderful patterns and video tutorials. You make crocheting fun!

[@byzantine_dixie]

I did the "prototype" for a friend (who likes to hunt) in camouflage worsted yarn and made a "coordinating" scarf. He absolutely loved it, so did our youngest son. For the coordinating scarf I made 4hdc, 6 alternating front and back post dc, just like the hat, 4 hdc, 6 fpdc/bpdc, 4hdc , 6 fpdc/bpdc and 4 hdc. I tried making a scarf exactly with the same fpdc/bpdc like the hat but it ate up yarn like crazy and the store was out of more camo, so that is why I had to modify the scarf, but in the end, I think I like the modification better. Anyway, yet another wonderful design. You really are an extremely talented designer.

[@vansh7290]

I like this beanie and I made it one for me and one for my husband. We loved 🥰 it. Thanku

[@cillag3839]

Thank-you so much, I love this hat, the soft, squishy texture is so cozy & comforting. I am re-learning crochet after being a beginner 3 decades ago. Due to quarantine, I needed to keep creatively busy AND I decided to see how many hats I can make for the cold season, as I would like to give these out in the community where I work (DTES) Vancouver, BC. I am trying various patterns, this will now be my #15th hat, and I am enjoying making it very much. Your time & effort spent to teach this is so very much appreciated.

Keep up the good work, you are awesome!

[@jacquitaylor7683]

Hi Sirin, I’m making this for my Dad for Father’s Day and the pattern is great and easy to follow so thank you. The only problem I’m having is that it’s quite tight so not sure what I’ve done or whether I’m just a tight crocheter! I’m going to try and stretch it so hopefully that works 😊

[@danibullard2154]

I’m having the same issue. Sad I haven’t found an explanation. What’s even stranger is that the tightness/smallness only happens with certain yarns. I have two that stretch properly and no need to edit the pattern, and three that were too tight and had to be unraveled to add to make it wider circumference. I’m not very experienced so I wish I knew what was going on with that 😕

[@alishacancio682]

Well, this is the most frustrating beanie pattern, but I'm glad I stuck with it. I'm gonna share my journey and hopefully help some people out. Take 1- I started with a 5 weight yarn and a K hook, wanting to use this yarn I already had. The K hook was giving me a circle bigger than hers, so I unraveled it by the 4th or 5th row. If you're looking at the bit in your hand and the bit in her hand and there's a noticeable size difference, change your hook size! Take 2- I used the same 5 weight yarn and a slightly smaller J hook, which gave a perfect size... but I ended up with the same "curly Lay's potato chip" that everyone is describing. I have some experience making beanies and I quickly identified the problem. If you fold your circle in half like an upside down taco (with the seams facing the way they should be. You don't want it inside-out for this!), it needs to literally look like an upside down taco- with a flat line on the top and a half-circle on the bottom. Geometry. Mine was curving up and had the shape of a gyoza. Or like a pie chart with 66% filled in. When I pinched off the extra fabric (to use my imagination and create that straight line) and traced it down to the base, it was 2 stitches too many.... which kindof made me face-palm because I've NEVER made a beanie with 12 in the ring. Never. Usually 8 is the start for a women's beanie. And she did recommend that 10 was for women's sizing option? So I gave that a try just to see... I can't comment in general on how many to put in your ring... because with different yarn sizes and hooks, it's hard to tell. But FOLD YOUR CIRCLE and it should be a taco. If it's greater than a taco, remove stitches. If it's less than, you're probably gonna end up with a kid-sized beanie, try adding a stitch. Take 3- Still the 5 weight yarn, J hook, and 10 stitches in my magic ring. I followed all her other instructions to a T, which was easy because she doesn't give stitch counts anyway... Sarcasm aside, I finally got a nice men's beanie! Mine is the chunky version, but it works. 👍 I just wanted to use up this particular yarn and this did the trick. As a guide, I found a men's beanie that I could lay mine on top of as I was working with it, and compare/ make sure the size aligned. It helped me to make intuitive decisions. I really hope this helps y'all. Good luck and don't stab yourself in the eyes with your crochet hooks today. You got this. 😺❤

[@sheilacarroll2274]

I can’t get my to curve down !😢

[@kathleendrees4974]

A really nice pattern and well instructed. My only comment, count stitches so that each row is the same, at first, it is really easy to begin to increase
