Love this pattern it’s so easy

[@RenaWorkouts]

We have a rather large pine tree in the center of our town that is decorated every year for christmas. This year the decorations will be hats, mitten, gloves and scarfs. After the lighting of the tree all items on it will be donated to a shelter. Im thinking I could whip out several of these hats and scarfs to hang on the tree. I will then buy 50 or so packs of gloves at the dollar store for the tree. What a great gift idea for those that are in need. Thank you for all the videos. You make it so easy for us left hander to understand.

Thanks again for yet another awesome tutorial!! I was able to make this hat in under an hour! Very quick and easy!

[@elizabethreyes4410]

Thank you for this teaching of the slouchy hat Reyes

[@veeholmes4407]

Made this and it turned out beautiful. I did add a border around the edge.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Excellent. Glad you will enjoy your new hat.

[@mariar8025]

I like slouchy hats. Gonna try caron cakes. Great video!

[@jeannakelly4174]

Liked the way you show how to close a ch 4 and join which I'd rather do the magic ring took ages to learn good tip and well explained tutorial

[@starrbrannon3883]

very nice hat Mikey.

[@laurakave844]

Picked up some cakes today and I can't wait to get going!!!

[@jcrefasi1]

When you are running out of thread and you want to do one last stitch just shove the eye end of needle thru instead of the pointy end. There are also really neat "shuttle" style needles that make using up the last bit of yarn really easy

[@LadyWarbucks]

Thanks for the tutorial! Caron Cakes is on sale at Michaels this week for $6. And today is 20% off on top of the sale. Off to Michaels to stock up! Can't wait to make the hat with a matching scarf. I only buy my yarn when it is on sale. :)

[@colleenmasear3836]

Yes I am a right handed, I have pulled out up to the end of the increases, now I am trying the 5.50 mm will see how that turns out. But thanks for getting back to me.

[@abihill4327]

wish could get them here in the uk they look amazing

[@damarismeza1983]

thank you for this tutorial. It looks fairly easy to do.

[@laurakave844]

I've been looking for something to try with the cakes and this is a winner! I can't wait to grab a ball of it this weekend!

[@lazycatz37]

If you can find it. Good Luck.

[@laurakave844]

Luckily, living in a small town, my Michael's has plenty! 😀

[@melodymaben5917]

To make it a bit more slouch would you just do a few more increase rounds ?

[@sandibowers6856]

Mikey, when are you going to be doing tutorials for fall & the holidays????? I'm going to try this hat tutorial, Thank you so much, as always. Love you too Riverstone.

[@HeleneLogan]

Thank you! I love the finishing end method you used--I've never done it that way. :-)

[@janettefoote2012]

After reading all the comments I have decided to add a few more rounds of increasing seeing as I am making it for my son-in-law, hopefully this will work, also using a bigger hook next time, will see how I go.

[@ket4253]

Did it work? I wanna make this for my dad...

[@johnettemagarin8779]

This tutorial says to end rounds with 2 hdc, but when I follow the written pattern I always end up with the last 1 hdc and the correct number of stitches according to the written pattern. I’ll stick to the written pattern. Thanks.

[@coffeezombie1276]

love this so much thank you.

[@bfvargas8]

nice thank you mickey!

[@judygrayson7896]

This is cute but I am in Fla. and it is hot could I make a light weight yarn so I can wear in summer? Thanks Judy

[@dinaaguirre480]

This link will help you fix the gap at the join

[@lorenavilla5064]

I like it, thanks

[@lorenavilla5064]

I love watching first then I watch it again when I am doing the project for the first time.

[@lazycatz37]

Oh sure tease us with yarn that's hard to get right now.

[@mekameka4362]

ikr. 😁

[@yvonnekeijzer2382]

We don't have Caron cakes in the netherlands and i like the yarn so much

[@amanda08172]

We don't have these cakes in the uk either.. they are gorgeous

[@lynnettemonrean5369]

You can get them on UK ebay, but very expensive...

[@laurak6220]

I have found that an "H hook" fits a toddler/little kid and an "I hook" is a big kid/small adult. I would definitely consider a J hook if making for a male.

[@luwandaartrelle4250]

I used a K hook for adult size slouchy hat

[@cherryblossom4299]

How can I avoid the travelling seam where you join every round? Is there a way to have invisible joins, apart from crocheting in the spiral rounds? If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate your input. Thank you.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Go in a continuous round and use stitch markers to note everytime you pass it for each round. I usually do that myself.

[@brittaei]

You can use the chainless starting double crochet, just make it tight so it's as low as possible. It won't be invisible, but far the best I've seen for blending in. Mooglyblog has a good tutorial on it (I have never seen it on Crochet Crowd, sorry if I missed it)-

[@melissapritchett3912]

I am going to try that with my next one. I'm not a fan of the travelling seam. I wish I would have gone with my gut and done that. It just seem to stick out.

[@sharonwalia4162]

Melissa Pritchett It's not a slouchy but the pattern for a chemo hat you will have to look up and most likely will find by typing in chemo hat or beanie has a pattern for a regular beanie that has you put a marker or piece of yarn where your last stitch was in the round that you keep moving as you go and that will give you no seam at all. The only thing is that you will have to move your marker each row. I made a preemie beanie that had had this seam and I thought to myself that if it was my baby I would not want it's delicate head laying on a seam. So I'm going to try to make this hat with my own suggestion and see how it works out. If you do this and it works out nicely would you tell me on here? I will do the same by saving this tutorial so I can get back to it and let you know.

[@debbiearnold9637]

My gauge was correct even went up a 1/2 size on my hook to get the gauge right and my hat was to small. its tight around my forehead. Not sure what I am doing wrong!!

[@JayYoungblood369]

How many slouchies will one ball make?

[@cuddlygiraffe]

Just finished making this. Used a 5mm/H hook as suggested in the video. It ended up a little small and not enough hanging on the back to be considered slouchy at all. Any ideas why?

[@luwandaartrelle4250]

Use a larger hook and crochet another increase round.

[@WINNDIXIE0702]

Love your tutorials! I have a question though, in your tutorial you always end the round with slip stitching to top of chain 2, but in the written pattern it says to slip stitch to first half double crochet. Does it matter which one you do?

[@Fancee76]

Billie Lake yes, follow the written pattern...doing so you'll have less of a traveling seam and not a big gap where you join the stitches. That's usually why they do not include the first chains in a round as a stitch. The starting chain in each round is only used to have correct height for the half double crochets you're doing in each round.

[@gloriawest370]

🤩🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

My pleasure.

[@joypeaceo]

Nice pattern, but my my hat is to small. I tried on my 6 year grandson and it fits him. Thanks anyway.

[@sherry4616]

I'm confused.. If in round 5 you chain 28 and it starts with Ch 2. *2 hdc in next hdc. 1 hdc in each of next 3 hdc. Shouldn't it end with the 3 -1hdc not 2hdc in same stitch.

[@laurakave844]

I had the same problem with round 4. It came out ok in round 5. I have no idea where I'm messing up. I tried it quite a few times. I'm going to keep going and see what happens

[@jennifervandevender3642]

Mine never ends on the 2 hdc either...and when I look at the pattern I still have the correct number of stitches.

[@sharonwalia4162]

Jennifer Vandevender Problems like this make you try new things to find a solution and makes you a professional faster.

[@cathharr08]

Does anyone have the link for the Caron cakes (Tiramisu colorway) blanket stitch Afghan? I can’t locate the pattern...ugh!! Thanks

[@colleenmasear3836]

I have followed your instruction to the T and this is for a child not an adult...

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

What is your gauge? If you compare the gauge, I bet you are a right crocheter.

[@mjnora01]

The hat is nice and easy to follow... but it's too small for me even if I used yhe same yarn and hook. So I ended up stretching the beanie 😩🙄 thanks anyway 😉😊😊😊

[@05kittykat99]

Hi, love the hat, but can't find the written pattern.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

In the link in the more information of the video has the links. :)

[@wunwun03]

reading all the comments I decided to crochet one myself. i used a J hook 6mm instead. also I didn't follow the rules and sticking to 6.5 inches. I made it longer. if you have the Caron cakes I decided to make it as long as it got to the 3rd color and did 3 rows (similar to the picture) the hat is quite small so I suggest you use a bigger hook like me or widening it. not good for men.

[@lindsayandrews9266]

wunwun03 was the j hook 6mm make the beanie bigger? Kinda upset that it is too small for my head.

[@tinamccartney3778]

Can anyone who has made this already tell me the measurements of the finished hat? From top to brim and the width of the brim also? May have to use an I hook to make this bigger for my husband but, wanted to know in advance. Thanks....

[@TheDee2250]

i did this and the hat doesnt fit anyone in my house how can i make this larger?

[@TheDee2250]

im gonna retry it i probably messed it up im just a beginner

[@floran620]

Did you use a size H hook? Cus I noticed before that it makes the hat too small for me. I used a size J hook for a 22" head.

[@TheDee2250]

yes i used what was in the video I'm working on something else now but i will try that thank you Sergio U. Iniguez

[@lindsayandrews9266]

Sergio U. Iniguez did the j size hook work for making the beanie bigger?

[@mekameka4362]

I'm counting the calories while not actually packing on the calories. 😁

Tamika Dobbs lol

[@mjnora01]

[@darthhobbit69]

I'd rather start with a magic ring instead. I'm in the uk so can't get these cakes 😭

[@margaretclark6758]

I think they might sell that wool in hobbycraft

[@camiblutube7116]

Carol Blackley Oh wow! Magic ring is hard for me! I like doing it the other way!

[@Danielle33384]

Cami BluTube same for me!! I hate them 😂

[@fzzypurpleturtle]

The link went to all symbols for me, so here's the pattern off the michael's website. once it's fixed i'd used the crochet crowd link though :) www.michaels.com/caron-cakes-slouchy-crochet-beanie/B_81506.html

[@cherylhutchinson2206]

Too small. Not even a slouchy hat on me. You need to tell us how to make it bigger

[@justinh3234]

Why are alllll of these videos sooooo fast?! Slow down people

[@eleanormoffett7114]

Speak slower please
