[@greenbaylady]

byt the way, just want to let you know that I have made the toddler ponchos and beanie hats for my great grand daughters for Christmas. My daughter has been making adult beanies hats for all of her friends and family as Christmas gifts. Thanks for all your help!!

[@JeanetteMira]

I have been trying to make hats for quite some time now and I think I've finally got it now thanks to your tutorial. You are fantastic!

[@janetdrews4081]

EXACTLY Pina... I have seen some who throw their yarn by hand and not just the hook to do the work. She is an excellent instructor.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, I think that is a very nice thing for you to do :) These parents need all the support they can get and a little handmade something will be very nice

[@wigwmg77]

Thank you...My sister and I started chrochet in December and I ave to say that yours is the channel we watch the most. You make it so simple. Thank YOU .

[@themotherbrassica]

I've never made any accessories by crocheting before, but by following your video I got something that resembles a hat. Thanks for the step-by-step instructions!

[@MrEndovision]

I don't understand how people don't get how to do this...it's pretty simple. It's so simple, in fact, that I have never crocheted in my life, but I watched this video, went to the store and bought a hook and yarn, and am almost done making my first crocheted beanie. Don't be lazy, listen to the directions and learn the stitch from WATCHING. Thanks for the great video, it's very clean and thorough. You have crazy fast skills!

[@strut526]

thank you so much! I made my first beanie ! it is being donated to a hospital baby unit! I would recommend that you watch the video all the way through first...then grab the yarn and hook, and crochet along! I hope to use the whole skein to make hats for the hospital! Thanks again,for taking the time to make these videos! Kim in Michigan

[@mrsdjordan2005]

I truly appreciate your patience in your tutorials.

[@irrek323]

I have tried several other beanie patterns in the past with no luck..I have been crocheting since January and I finally did it..I made my granddaughter the beanie and finished it with the easy pretty rose flower. It is beautiful!!!

[@carrierich9756]

I'm so glad my friend suggest that I look on KZbin to learn how to crochet. Watching you makes it so easy to learn.

[@CrochetwithClare]

THank you so much and welcome to crochet :) Thank you for watching

[@sydneylitzenburger8619]

Thanks so much for your step by step instructions. I found them very easy to follow, and I'm happy to say I just completed my first beanie. I have been crocheting for years and always wanted to learn how to make a something more than a blanket. Now that I'm a grandmother, I'm very excited to know how to crochet beanies for my sweet little granddaughter, Mathilde. You can be sure I'll be watching your additional videos for new projects! Blessings...

[@emmatomco8582]

You video is the one and only video that could explain to me how to make a hat. I've been struggling with patterns (I'm a brand-new crochet-er) and didn't quite get how to make a hat without it getting "wavy". Increase! that's the secret! thank you so much!

[@lincolnrocks324]

This is the best tutorial for making a hat! Clear instructions and made the whole process super easy for me to do! Thanks so much! I am already on hat #2!

[@bigalmuzic]

I just started crocheting about 3 weeks ago. I love this vid it is so easy. I can make one of these in about 45 mins. The video is well done and very easy to follow. I have found that if you just do one step at a time it works great if you miss something just go back and watch that part again.

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you so much ! that is fantastic, thanks for watching

[@styledelights]

You have the BEST crochet videos...I am an absolute beginner and could crochet a headband by just looking at ur video! Seriously, you rock!

[@6632397]

I would like to send you my greatest appreciation for your videos. I am hooked on to crochet after seeing your easy tutorials. I was about to give up as the other videos didn't make any sense to a begineer like me. I am so glad I came across your tutorials before I put my hook down! You have made it very simple for begineers like me to understand everys stitch. I am very thankful for your efforts. God Bless you!

[@cbeyer23]

I especially appreciated about this video, seeing how you attach your stitch marker. thats much easier that what I was doing.

[@mcshanda35]

I completed my first hat with this tutorial today. It really really helped instructions where very clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, thanks for your kind comments RE the hat, I would try a smaller hook, its is laying fat because of the tension is loose

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes you can , to get the size you need The mathematical formula for getting circumference if you know the diameter (measurement across hat). You just measure from 1 edge to the other and multiply that number by 3.142 & the answer you get is the measurement of the circumference.

[@volkswagenminibus]

This is great, thank you! All the other videos I've seen just assume that people already know how to crochet and they fast-forward through the actual stitches.

[@nicolemorales3359]

This is a great video, thanks for talking to clearly and stitching so slowly for a beginner like me!

[@CJEMusic98]

Thank u so much! I have watched around 30 other videos and been on so many websites trying to figure out how to make it and yours is the only one that was easy enough for me to understand.

[@TheHulkette]

Just wanted to say thanks for this pattern, super easy & fun & I'm glad you said its supposed to end on an increase, thats helped me ALOT :)

[@schatz814]

Thank you! Finally someone who holds the crochet hook the way I learned (European style), not like a pencil. It's so much easier this way!

[@CrochetwithClare]

after you have finished you row, so a chain 1 stich and then pull the stand of yarn though. This will secure you yarn and then sew the ends in

[@Shelbog98]

I wanted to thank you SO MUCH for posting these videos! They have been a tremendous help with learning to crochet. I am only 14 years old and yesterday finished to make an ADORABLE beanie for my 3-year-old cousin. I absolutely love your variety of tutorial videos, and I appreciate the time it must take to do it all! Thank you so much! :D

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi ! Thank you for much for you wonderful comments and I am so glad that you enjoy crochet

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes and When making a beanie/hat you need to keep increasing until the circumference/outside edge measurement is 1 inch smaller than the head that you are making it for (making a bit smaller allows for stretch) So for example if the head measurement is 21 inches you need to increase until the circumference/outside edge measurement is 20 inches. When you have the desired measurement you STOP increasing and continue on with 1 stitch in each stitch

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, to make the hat bigger you need to make more increase rounds, you just keep adding a extra stitch in between the increase on each row The mathematical formula for getting circumference if you know the diameter (measurement across hat). You just measure from 1 edge to the other and multiply that number by 3.142 & the answer you get is the measurement of the circumference.

[@hana212]

I'm an absolute beginner but I do a lot of knitting.. and your video is the only one that I can successfully follow. yes, it's a little cone shaped, but for my first ever try at crocheting... I'm very happy with it :D Thank you!!!

[@LifeGrandmas]

FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!!! I will be checking out your other videos. You were an excellent teacher! I love how you zoom in and create with us. Thank you!

[@CJDWHenry]

I just made a beanie from watching this video. I love it and will be making more once I find the color of yarn I want. Thanks for all the videos, you are an awesome teacher ;)

[@CrochetwithClare]

The mathematical formula for getting circumference if you know the diameter (measurement across hat). Keep making increase rounds until you measure from 1 edge to the other and multiply that number by 3.142 & the answer you get is the measurement of the circumference of the head

[@cmeyers979]

So easy to follow and takes no time at all. Thanks so much!!!

[@pinacoasta10]

Very nice and clear! Love when people know how to video "instructions" Its always good to be able to SEE IT..lol Thanks! :-)

[@CrochetwithClare]

yes thicker yarn will make it bigger , When making a beanie/hat you need to keep increasing until the circumference/outside edge measurement is 1 inch smaller than the head that you are making it for (making a bit smaller allows for stretch) So for example if the head measurement is 21 inches you need to increase until the circumference/outside edge measurement is 20 inches. When you have the desired measurement you STOP increasing and continue on with 1 stitch in each stitch

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there, to make any hat a slouch hat ... add more rows of crochet to make the hat longer You can add her brim to this hat

[@smrtpants11]

Thank you so much for this video! I read a lot of articles and watched many videos about crocheting, but this was the first one that actually made sense. I made a great little beanie and I'm counting down the hours until I can go back to the yarn store to buy supplies for the next project!

[@pandasoldier321]

OMG thank you! I learned how to crochet a hat in less than an hour using this vid. Thanks!

[@CrochetwithClare]

with the 8ply yarn/Doubleknit/sportweight yarn I used it was for a baby... If you use worsted weight it will come out bigger

[@vrocgarcia]

This was by far the best tutorial I've seen. I'm just a beginner and I was able to make a beanie for my younger cousin!! Thanks!!

[@moonlitesprite]

why would any one hit dislike your videos are great maybe even the best quality I have seen. Thank you so much!!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there, try using this The mathematical formula for getting circumference if you know the diameter (measurement across hat). Keep making increase rounds until you measure from 1 edge to the other and multiply that number by 3.142 & the answer you get is the measurement of the circumference of the head hope this helps

[@trenthairston15]

Definitely the best tutorial for crocheting a beanie I've seen so far! Thanks so much!

[@CrochetwithClare]

@Mchllstone1 Weather you do 12 or 6 stitches at the beginning you still do row 2 :)

[@sdlowe87]

I am trying to make my first hat for my son's 1st birthday party. It will be a dinosaur hat. This video has helped me more than any book or other video I have looked at!! My grandmother can crochet great but she lives too far away for her to teach me. So I am using your video to teach me! Thanks!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

When making a beanie/hat you need to keep increasing until the circumference/outside edge measurement is 1 inch smaller than the head that you are making it for (making a bit smaller allows for stretch) So for example if the head measurement is 21 inches you need to increase until the circumference/outside edge measurement is 20 inches. When you have the desired measurement you STOP increasing and continue on with 1 stitch in each stitch, hope this helps

[@AlyssaBrown117]

My niece loves her new beanie! (It's the only hat she hasn't tried to rip off) She's 4 months old. Thank you for these easy instructions!

[@CrochetwithClare]

I have a hat video called almost invisible seam, this will show you how to size a hat and that way you can make a any hat and use any yarn and as long as you remember those tips on that video you should be good to go :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

hi there this may help you The mathematical formula for getting circumference if you know the diameter (measurement across hat). Keep making increase rounds until you measure from 1 edge to the other and multiply that number by 3.142 & the answer you get is the measurement of the circumference of the head

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, Yes you are correct I would not use this pattern if you are very new to crochet. The increase is used to make the top of the hat wider so that you can make it fit you :) I will message you a video that might be better to understand

[@NataorTillie]

I'm looking forward to trying this out. My friend inspired me to try to hat pattern, he's (I know! a male crochet-er, so adorable) always saying how approachable this pattern is. :) Happy face.

[@CrochetwithClare]

@Tilly1770 no, you chain 3 and then put the next stitch in the next double crochet :) If you are a beginner the neatness will come with practice

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, You can use other stitches but if you use the double crochet stitch you will need less rows :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

@MarianaTism Hi, thats great ! Yes the 6 stitches can give it a pointy look

[@CrochetwithClare]

THis may help you The mathematical formula for getting circumference if you know the diameter (measurement across hat). You just measure from 1 edge to the other and multiply that number by 3.142 & the answer you get is the measurement of the circumference.

[@derlco742]

Just finished my beanie and it worked perfectly. This was a great video. So easy to understand and follow.. Big thanks

[@kh4zhk1]

just finished my very first baby beanie hat!! I didn't turn out to bad. Thank you for taking the time to make this video,Great job!!!!!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

@ariesfairies I would start by using a 5mm or 5.5mm hook, the 4mm is to small for the yarn :) see how that goes

[@ashtian123]

Watching this and the bow tutorial (having never crocheted properly) I made a hat with a bow tonight. =D I'm so proud of myself lol

[@emmalatontaenamorada]

Thank you so much for your help!!! :) I've completed my first first crochet project and i loved it!! thanks to you .... I DID this little beanie for my two months baby boy... also i went ahead and did the bear eaars on the beanie and made the flap ears and the braid that you did for the owl beanie !!!! it ended up looking great i loved it!!! thank you ! for being so easy to understand and also for the free patterns!!! i might send you a pic via Facebook as soon as my baby wears it :)

[@melissabordelon8556]

I'm so grateful to have found your you tube channel & website!!! You have taught me how to crochet and I LOVE how you show each project step by step and verbally go over the steps repeatedly. This helps me to learn the stitches, stay on track with the video tutorial and remember how to do all the different stitches. Please cont. to make more video tutorial projects. You are my favorite you tube subscription!

[@YogawithKaylee]

Definitely the clearest video I've found. I was seriously struggling before I found this and now I'm on my way to finally making my dad a beanie! THANK YOU!

[@vaiivaii33]

Thank you soooo much! Just made and finished my first crochet project ever for my baby boy! Can't wait to see him in it when he gets here! ☺

[@CrochetwithClare]

CHeck the row before the last row you did to make sure that is correct also :)

[@tcby3922]

Just finished my *first* baby beanie! Wow, that was so easy! Thank you dear lady.

[@amandafritsch2504]

So I fixed my own problem, I started from scratch and did a much looser stitching than before and it helped a lot. My numbers still didn't work out the way it should have so I did end up deviating a bit there but it still came out very nicely!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, I see form you channel that you are in the USA, if you used worsted weight yarn it will be thicker than the yarn that i used in the video. To make it curl up I would use a smaller crochet hook :)

[@987stars]

This was AWESOME!! It was really thorough and guided me well. Thank you very much! My Mommy is so pleased that I am able to make hats! :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

THank you ! i love you too :) thanks for watching

[@adorable50fun]

thank you so much i never knew how to do read the pattern but the visual is so much easier to learn i making my grandbabies hats for xmas gifts god bless u

[@animezv]

Thank you for your video. I am just learning and am making a beanie. I was doing fine but needed to see how to close the row and start the next one. Your video helped a lot!!

[@lanajantz2240]

I love all of your videos. I learn and enjoy. I do not enjoy reading, figuring out, and keeping eyes on the pattern and then my work. I am so very thankful for the videos. I can hit the stop and go, to keep up with making pattern with you. I am not computer savy, I have to figure out how to get the patterns I paid for, how to get pictures on and share with you. Thank you and your friend for all your hard work. You all are awesome.

[@sunnihope]

This video helped me so much! I watched other ones and they confused me so much!! Thank you for making this video nice and clear! And thanks to you I made my first beanie just in time for Christmas!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, if you use the 6 stitches in the first row it will be pointy, you can change this to either 12 or 15 stitches and it should stop this :) thank you foe watching

[@ilikebeingevil88]

Took 3 tries, but I have finally made a beanie! Thank you so much for the tutorial and going through each step!

[@Engler19]

I have to thank you for this video, it has helped me tremendously. I have been working on a hat pattern for my toddler grandson using the hdc and no matter what I did there was a crooked seam in the back of the hat so I have incorporated what u have shown me with the other pattern. What a relief, I have been trying for weeks to get it to come out without a seam. Thanks again! Debbie Peck

[@vasoula6671]

My god I love you! This is my first beanie and I am a newbie in crocheting! I followed your instructions and...tadaah, I have a beanie for my little niece! Thanks a lot! :)

[@BetsyJean49925]

I really love all of your stuff. I've actually sold a few headbands that I've made with your help to my friends :) Thanks SO much for making it easy for me to learn how to crochet!

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there if you are on the sides of the hats you will continue with no increasing and just 1 stitch in every stitch

[@CrochetwithClare]

@jackiexboy I would add them as you go , the owl beaie video has earflaps and you could add the ear flaps to any beanie

[@creationband1]

Cant wait to try this. Looks faster than what I have been doing. Thanks for the video.

[@cheesecarrots]

Thank you so much. I've been knitting for a while and I'm just now learning to crochet, your tutorials are the easiest that I have found! Very easy to follow ;)

[@triciamerrell2190]

I had a similar problem so I stopped a few rounds shorter than the last ones and it turned out really well. I was so happy. I'm new to crocheting and get too excited and impatient to so that may have also been part of the problem.

[@CrochetwithClare]

@riviera5150 Your Welcome ! hmm without "seeign what you are doing" when your hook gets stuck, it maybe to do with tension or Do you turn the hook so that it is pointing down before you pull though all loops? Also it could be your hook , i have heard people say that there are different styles of hooks (the hooky part) and this can sometimes snag on stitches :)

[@Missjackieann17]

Thank you, I will have to check that video for the ear flaps. I guess adding them as I go would be easier :)

[@HibiscaMoon]

Hey. I'm 13 and love doing this stuff. Luv this instruction bid. Making my 2nd hat with this instruction

[@sootins]

Absolutely wonderful!!! Crocheted my first beanie watching your video :) Thank You!!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

@xroomforimprovment When working in a spiral you can change colour anytime. It will not be a solid row as it is a spiral... Hope this helps you

[@lisalarck9020]

Great video! I'm teaching my youngest daughter how to crochet and she loved your video and your accent!:-)

[@dixiedevil22]

I looove all of your videos! Its really hard to get a decent video with good instruction. Thank you so very much for you help :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Woo Hooo !!! Congrats and thanks for watching

[@scubastevie2572]

This is always my go to beanie when making them.

[@lenorevanderpool669]

This is a great pattern, so easy to follow. I encouraged my sister to follow you because she is learning to crochet. Thank you.

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there yes it will get bigger, as long as you remeber to measure your hat as you go here are some rules I follow The mathematical formula for getting circumference if you know the diameter (measurement across hat). Keep making increase rounds until you measure from 1 edge to the other and multiply that number by 3.142 & the answer you get is the measurement of the circumference of the head

[@CrochetwithClare]

Your welcome and thank you for watching
