I love these hats. I make lots of them every year as I participate in a social yarn group where we knit/crochet for the homeless and also for the babies that are born to young single mothers. This is so usefull with the yarn and needle sizes. Thanks.

[@sewesme4866]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much! I had been looking for a simple pattern and you hit it right on nail!! Can't wait to make them for Hat Not Hat. The best video ever because the hats are made out the different weights of yarn.! Super AWESOME!!!

[@ruthhunt5710]

I used up left over yarn and crocheted hats for our homeless shelter.. we do get some days of cold weather in sw fla during the winter months.. I’m going to knit these next...looks like fun..if I start now, I’ll have several done by the end of the year...thanks for sharing this pattern....you’re great!

[@marionlacey1986]

Love your thorough instruction video. Have made many hats and just purchased your pattern for this one simply because I love its simplicity. Thank you. Marion 🤩

[@TwistedStitchesShow]

Very cute hat. I like to do these as I’m a new knitter. It helps to get the clumsiness out of the way.

[@amaliaadams6726]

I read the written pattern looked back at your instructions and I still don't understand how many stiches I need to put on the first row of stiches I'm doing a adult medium hat with super bulky yarn if anyone can help me plz do so 😔

[@brittneyreyna8995]

So the super bulky yarn for an adult medium it says to cast on 28 stitches. Then you knit every stitch across until you have 84 rows. Hope this helps !

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Amalia! The Adult Medium is the second to last size, so the numbers for the Adult Medium are always second to last in the list. For example, the super bulky instructions say to cast on 15 (17, 18, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 28, 29) stitches, so for the Adult Medium, you'll cast on 28 stitches. Then, it says to knit a total of 46 (52, 56, 62, 66, 70, 74, 80, 84, 88) rows, so you'll knit 84 rows. I hope this helps!

[@amaliaadams6726]

It looks amazing thank you for helping me I love this video just subscribed I'm gonna make a ton of these now since winter is drawing near

[@logikgirl12]

Gosh. This was so lovely to watch 🥺 I loved it so much, it's aesthetic, easy to make and well explained. Plus your voice is aesthetic to the ear. The result is professional and exactly like the hats I would normally buy. 😅 Can't wait to make this 😊✨

[@mariamendonca9118]

What a fantastic and clear tutorial. Thank you very much. Going to knit these for my grandchildren. Hopefully you have other knitting patterns. You're the best🤗

[@claragowin2604]

Your the best at explaining everything. Your my #1 . Thank you!

[@youmnaassaf7218]

Love your work... perfect instructions in all your Videos. Could you pls tell me how can I make these logos?

[@YayForYarn]

I had my logo labels custom made on Etsy. I believe the logo is stamped onto the faux leather, but I have not tried making my own yet.

[@michellehalpin1303]

What yarn did you use for the other hats you show at the beginning of the video? I really like the multicolored hat.

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Michelle! The multicolored hat is made from Knitologie Sheen in Titmouse: bit.ly/3brrYz1 It's a limited edition hand dyed yarn from KnitCrate. If you're a KnitCrate subscription box member, you can get this yarn at 50% off the regular price. The dark pink hat is KnitPicks Brava Sport, the mint green is KnitPicks Gloss DK, the dark blue is Knitologie Glowing Worsted, the pale purple-grey is KnitPicks Brava Bulky, and the light pink is Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick. I hope this helps!

[@amirzikri342]

so how many rows are there for that size?

[@YayForYarn]

All of the stitch counts and information needed to make all 10 sizes are given in the written pattern, for 6 different thicknesses of yarn. You can view the free version of the written pattern by visiting the first link in the video description. It tells how many rows to work for each size in each yarn thickness. I hope this helps!

[@GinniePostlethwaite]

Thank you so much for this video! I am new to knitting and this actually explained a lot more than just how to make a hat for me so, thank you for that! You are a great teacher! 😀🧶

[@ashleywilson9205]

My first time knitting a hat this pattern is brilliant so easy thank you

TY for this guick and easy hat tutorial. Very easy to fallow your instructions. Vickie G

What yarn did you use for the example hats? I loved the green color way and the drape!

[@elizabethdecell5495]

Thank you so very much for this pattern and video!! I can't wait to start on some beautiful hats!!

[@lynnclark3136]

I would like very much to make this hat but I cannot figure out how many stitches to cast on and how many rows to knit. I am a medium female hat size with a 22inch head so my rectangle should measure 11 1/4 by 16 3/4 please help!

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Lynn! If you visit the first link in the video description, it will take you to the free version of the written pattern, which tells you how many stitches to cast on and rows to work for each size and each yarn weight. I hope this helps!

[@lynnclark3136]

I did visit the link and I see there should be 18 stitches in a 4 inch section. I knitted a five by five sample and blocked it and got 17 stitches in 4 inch section. I can not see how that tells me how many stitches to cast on for a rectangle that is 16 3/4 by 11 1/4 , or how many rows to knit. Thank you for trying to help me, but I guess I am too inexperienced to figure out how to knit the right size rectangle.

[@noface181]

finished mine today i really love it thank you so much, ive never made a hat before. new subscriber!

Thanks a lot for giving this amazing video. I was in fact looking for someone who could guide to knit with 2 knitting needles and I simply loved all your instructions. I will now knit lots of hats for poor and homeless people in India. As I have lots of 4 ply wool can you please guide me with 3 or 4 sizes with 4 ply( I mean the needle size and number of stitches I should put) Very thankful to you

[@YayForYarn]

Hi! If you click the first link in the video description, it will take you to the free version of the written pattern, which tells what needle size / gauge to do for your yarn and how many stitches and rows for each size. I hope this helps!

Yay For Yarn Thanks a lot 😊

[@Karachiottawa]

Amazing

[@NicoleAndrea-wh6cl]

can you do it in stockinet stich

[@YayForYarn]

No, this pattern will not work in stockinette stitch. The stretchy, ribbed texture of garter stitch is what makes this hat fit properly. I hope this helps!

[@NicoleAndrea-wh6cl]

Its alright@@YayForYarn

[@MandyandherBoys]

As a new crochet designer, I appreciate all the hard work you put into your tutorials ! I went ahead and bought the pattern and I’m very happy to support you! Lots of work goes into making a pattern! Can’t wait to make some of these, just gotta loosen up my tight tension lol!

Hi Yvonne! The free version of this pattern is available to view at the first link in the video description. Those written instructions include the details you'll need to make all 10 sizes, in 6 different yarn weights. I hope this helps!

[@vijaylal8137]

Loved your hat knitting. I need help. Can you please guide me, how many stitches should I put with a 4 ply wool for an adult hat. Will be very thankful to you

[@YayForYarn]

Hi! If you visit the first link in the video description to view the free written pattern, the pattern will tell you how many stitches and rows to work for each hat size and each thickness of yarn. The pattern also includes the gauge measurements you'll need to know which needle size to use. From what I understand, 4ply yarn in UK and AU terms would be classified either as a #1 Superfine / Fingering Weight yarn, or a #2 Fine / Sport Weight yarn. So just follow the pattern instructions for either #1 Superfine or #2 Fine yarn in the size you want to make. I hope this helps!

[@vijaylal8137]

[@elainem9774]

that green yarn looks so good and flexible! What brand is it?

[@YayForYarn]

Hi! If I remember correctly, it is KnitPicks Gloss DK: shrsl.com/4clg2 That exact colorway is not currently available, but it comes in many other lovely colors. I love the quality and texture of this yarn, as it is very soft, smooth, and pliable, with excellent drape. I hope this helps!

[@daliladawn8060]

Hello and thank you for this tutorial, can you tell me from where you got your labels

[@YayForYarn]

Hi! I got them from an Etsy shop here: tidd.ly/1ba52232 It took awhile to get them, but the price was the most affordable of all the custom faux leather tags I could find. I hope this helps!

[@tanyasafeer9329]

Hi I am a 13 yr old knitting this hat... roughly how many rows and cast ons do you think it will take.

[@YayForYarn]

Hi Tanya! For a perfect fit, you'll want to follow the simple instructions in the free written pattern, which you can view by clicking the first link in the video description. The number of stitches to cast on and rows to work depends on the size hat you are making, and how thick your yarn is. If you visit the link in the video description to view the written pattern, the instructions explain how to know which size to make, and gives the full instructions for all the sizes in all the different thicknesses of yarn. To choose a size, you can measure the circumference of your head (around your head where the edge of a hat would normally go). If you would rather not measure your gauge and follow the instructions exactly, the instructions also tell you the finished measurements of the rectangle for each size. So if you prefer, you could just knit your rectangle so it comes out to the correct finished measurements for the size you want to make, and assemble the hat as shown in the video tutorial. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any more questions. Happy Yarning!

Hi thanks for the video. What is the Etsy shop you use for your tags? Also the size of the tags?

[@YayForYarn]

Hi. I got my tags from the Meroulo Etsy shop. They are the longer folding ones. The price was good, but it took awhile to get them made, and then shipped, since the shop is located in Greece. They are nice quality, though, and I am happy with them. I hope this helps!

[@lailalovesdan]

Yay For Yarn thank you. I might get some and try them out.
