I was looking for an easy beanie. This is it. I'm not a beginner but enjoyed this very much. I make hats and scarves for homeless here in Reno and found this is faster them the way I was making hats. Thank you

[@mireillehatchell5208]

Hello Bonnie. I just wanted to thank you for sharing this pattern and tutorial. It went so fast and you are so easy to understand. Take care and bless you for sharing.

[@Wonder946]

Such an easy pattern and awesome looking hat. Was done in less than 15 minutes. Thank you for being such a great teacher, easy to understand, you explain without over explaining and making it boring and losing interest or forgetting where a person is at. Perfect. Need to look and see if you do mittens!

[@smoke.n.signals68canalori35]

I’ve made several beanie type hats, this is by far the best tutorial! Thanks for sharing !

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Thank you! I love your KZbin name.

[@thatlibrarian2004]

This was my first crochet project that I completed and I made a cap for my little brother and he absolutely loved it! Making another one for my elder brother now and my mom is looking forward to learning from your videos too! Thank you so much Bonnie, you are such a wonderful teacher 💜

Thank You so much for your tutorial. I have Breast Cancer and with the cold months coming ahead I was looking for a pattern on a beanie for my head. I have lost my hair due to Chemo. I will use your pattern to make myself a Pink Beanie so that my head will be warm until I am done with my chemo. Thank You Thank You Thank You for such an easy way to make this beanie. And I really like the way you finished it off with the fpdc and the bpdc. And the Pom Pom just added that extra touch. God Bless You for what you are doing and showing us beginners. 🙏🏼😇👏🏼

Love following up with your help. Thank you

[@elliex102]

I've now made two beanies by following your pattern 😊 I'm so grateful for your video as I'm a complete beginner and the written pattern was a bit daunting but I love that you've explained everything here and didn't assume that we'd already know certain things ☺ I've never done bpdc/fpdc before but now I've mastered it, thanks to you! I made my second beanie slightly longer so I could fold the ribbing up and it's turned out pretty good. I will say, as a complete beginner, it's probably best to keep using your stitch markers during the ribbing rounds as I lost count at first on my first beanie but I eventually figured it out 😅 You're a great teacher, thank you so much! 🥰

[@donyaw.1453]

I really like this hat Bonnie. What I'm really happy about is the ribbing. I'm not a fan of doing a band of BP either sc or hdc. Call me lazy or whatever but when I see that kind of band I pass it by, just seems like it takes forever. ❤

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

I understand that one Donya! I think the post band gives more elasticity too.

[@donyaw.1453]

@@BonnieBayCrochet I thought that myself too, but not being an expert didn't want to assume. Take care Bonnie and enjoy your weekend 💗

[@NanaGram]

Hi I wanted to thank you for this tutorial. I've made a few hats before but always looking to improve my beginners skills. I really like the cuff made with the front post back post. I messed up on the first one I made; it was a beret. But my second daughter loved it. So mistakes can be fun too. Again thank you for the wonderful tutorial

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

I so agree! Mistakes are the BEST way to really learn how to do something well, in my opinion. So glad this worked for you!

[@ericaf.8921]

Hi, Bonnie! Thank you so much for making this video so easy to understand for a beginner! I printed your instructions and used them this past year each time I made beanies. I donated a huge box of beanie/scarf sets to a local charity at Christmastime, and it was a highlight of the whole year for me. I LOVE your teaching style, and I LOVE the way the beanies are so easy to make and beautiful when finished. This coming year, I only want to make beanies for children of all ages and sizes and donate them to local hospitals. I am wondering if you have some kind of chart that shows how many inches long and wide a beanie should be for the various sizes of infants and children. I assume that a teen/adult hat would mostly be one-size fits all. I would love to receive any advice or help you can offer! Thank you for the gift of this video! You were the answer to this timid beginner's prayer!

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

So sorry this never showed in my feed months ago Erica. I don't have a sizing chart.

[@tammi67able]

Beautiful hat and beautifully explained perfectly beginner friendly Brilliant idea button with the Pom pom because you’re right the wash and dryer would ruin it! Thank you so much subscribing

[@robertlaurendeau9394]

Love learning from your videos. I have a very large head. What is the next increase pattern? To 72 stitches. Thanks so very much?

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

It really all depends Upon you gauge. There is a lot of ease built into the sizing.

[@Pitoonya]

Love the color of your beanie. I just finished mine. Not crazy about the color of the yarn but it was given to me..was going to mail it to my brother up north but not sure about the color for him...also not sure if it would fit his big head..LOL. Anyway, did two rows of the fpdc/bpdc then decided to do two rows of just sc bc I wanted a bit of a tighter rim bc if I decide to keep it, I need it to fit snug over my very thick hair..lol. Thank you for this tutorial Bonnie. xo

Thank you for this video I find it so easy to follow, you are a great teacher. I made my first hat and wanting to make a child one for my granddaughter but can’t find it in the pattern of your I downloaded. Can you tell me that patter to make smaller

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

I think if you work fewer increase rows (maybe subtract two rows where the stitches increase) and continue with the smaller constant count. Check size for length and see if the smaller fit.

Hi, Bonnie. I am just working on your Easy Breezy Beginner's Crochet Beanie and found that Round 5 pattern instructions does not indicate that at the end of row 5, there are 2 stitches left after the repeat. The video indicates that the last 2 stitches are 2dc in the first stitch and 1dc in the last stitch to have 60 stitches in the round. If I hadn't followed the video, I would not have known what to do with those last 2 stitches. Thank you for the lovely pattern. It's one that I will use frequently.

What are the instructions for a baby beanie, 3-6 months? I watched your video on the easy breezy hat, I haven't tried it yet, but it looked much simpler than any other I watched.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

This isn't sized for a baby's head, but basically make fewer increases and finish with fewer stitches in the outer rounds. You may be able to guesstimate this.

[@valiakikkidou7162]

Hello! Love your tutorial and want to start one beanie now, but I don't have a 5.5mm hook. Only 5.00mmm and 6.00mm. Which one would you suggest? Thank you.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Great question Valia! Let me ask you a question: do you tend to crochet more tightly or more loosely? If you tend to crochet tightly, go with the 6.00 mm; if you tend to crochet loosely, go with the 5.00 mm. There should be enough ease in this design to make either of these hooks work.

[@valiakikkidou7162]

Could i use 2 dk tog,to make equivalent to your red heart super saver please.I am in England.Thank you.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

I would recommend finding another pattern using DK weight yarn. Another option is working an additional increase row on this hat before working the rows that maintain a constant stitch count. That may be enough to make the DK yarn work for you.

[@rlarviso]

Bonnie thank you and blessings! This is absolutely the best tutorial I've seen for the best beanie cap with no seams. The concept is fantastic working in the round like amiguri, but I find the finish of the front post and back post double crochet annoying. The posts end up being in the shape of a spiral and not horizontally even completely around the hat. Any tips on how we can get the posts to be more horizontally even? Thank you.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Papabear's Corner if you join your yarn (as if you are working in rounds) before beginning the ribbing and work a chain 2 at the beginning of each ribbing round, you should be fine. I believe this is the way I worked this hat.😊

[@rlarviso]

@@BonnieBayCrochet I followed the directions exactly but the post comes out in a spiral around the hat. Is this making any sense? I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself well.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

@@rlarviso I think I understand. It will not be exactly as even as those hats that leave a turning chain line, but I don't think others will notice or even know how to see what you and I can see in this regard.
