Crocheting a Ruffle Hat| Preparing to enter Market Prepping| Small Yarn Haul

In this video I take you all through a chaotic weekend of me crocheting while being iced in! I don’t know about you, but I LOVED the Ice/snow we got last week. I am a little sad to see it go. I managed to finish my first ruffle hat that looks decent and got an order for one as well!
My next market is potentially going to be Feb 10, 2024 if the weather permits!

Hello. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful ruffle hats. And you know, we all love the yarn.

[@joellaellis9402]

I used the regular Beanee hat pattern

[@joellaellis9402]

Then a row of single crochet before the ruffles

[@sunshinegiftcompany]

I’ve heard of this method as well. Does the row of single crochets help sturdy/anchor the ruffles?

[@EBNDesigns4U]

Congratulation! Ruffle Items are fun to crochet! Best wishes to you, entering the Market! Thanks for sharing! 💗

[@sunshinegiftcompany]

Thank you so much!!

@@sunshinegiftcompany You're welcome! 🧶

The ruffles pull the hat and reduced the rows after the increase. Also I used a smaller hook until I start the ruffles, then go up a size. I also seen a tutorial where one lady added a drawstring.

[@sunshinegiftcompany]

Thank you! ❤️ I saw the same tutorial! I’m thinking about doing that to an old hat I made. I’ve noticed lately my hats are much better with the smaller hook and less rows after the increase. This is great advice! Thank you 🥰🙌🏽

If it's too big try to make chain long enough to as least wrap twice on your head and then pour it as a drawstring at the base of the hat and that way it will fit any size head as long as they can tie it according to their size

Add elastic to pull it in

[@melbawebber5995]

You have to do a row of single crochets before you start your row of ruffles

[@sunshinegiftcompany]

Does the single crochets act sort of like an anchor?

[@masegomotshwane6063]

After I made mine and it was extreme ruffles. I decided to put on elastic. It's shaping it very well

[@sunshinegiftcompany]

I think I will try that as well with the next one I make! Thank you! Do you sew it on or crochet it into the last row before the ruffles?

[@VHARGETT]

Hello, girl February 10 is right around the corner. Good luck 💕💕💕

[@sunshinegiftcompany]

Hey! I am lowkey freaking out with how soon it is. Thank you! Hopefully everything will work out!

[@moniquejones1752]

Try using a half double crochet

[@sunshinegiftcompany]

I will try that on my next one! Thank you!

[@LE-pc6nn]

Try 10 rows of crochet. The ruffles really pulls the hat. It looks like you have alot of rows on your bucket portion, which is better for a slouchy hat.

[@sunshinegiftcompany]

That sounds like great advice! I notice with other people’s compared to mine, they had less rows but the same definition in ruffles. I think I didn’t 13 rows of crochet before the ruffles. I will try this out in a new hat. Thanks!

[@valariejohnson995]

Hey, I had the same problem following two different people and making a ruffle hat and they came out extremely big ; so I decided to use my own tape measure and cut down some of the rows ;and I will let you know how it came out.But someone told me I can make a band inside the hat to draw it in some ant it works.

[@sunshinegiftcompany]

Great tip! I heard that too! I watched @DOYcreations and I believe she did the same thing. I love her pattern but instead of using a 5.5 hook like her, I used a 5mm and it came out SOOO much better than my first two hats. It still had a little too much space but not enough to noticeable tell like the green hat I did.

[@valariejohnson995]

I have tons of yarn. I am a new crochet so I’m just looking for some feedback.

[@sunshinegiftcompany]

Welcome to the crochet world! I don't mind helping by sharing what I know!

[@JessHandmadeDesigns]

❤ great job on the ruffle hats ❤ I have a tutorial on my channel on how I make my ruffle hat. Added single crochet rounds and elastic makes a huge difference on shaping ❤
