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. 🙏🏼😇👏🏼

Thank you Rachel! May God bless and completely heal you of cancer. Praying for you now!🙏🏼😊❤️

Such an easy pattern and awesome looking hat. Was done in less than 15 minutes.

[@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! 🥰

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.

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.

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

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.

This is the third tutorial that I have found for hats. The last two from different sites however same results. For some reason can't wrap my head around the patterns even with watching the tutorials through first then starting the hats and following along with the tutorials. Just can't get them right. Watched this one through and know its going to be the same results. At this point ready to chuck any type of crocheting.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

You may need to put it down for a few days and then try again Becky. Sometimes our brains need to rest and then we can see it better. There’s a lot going on in the brain when learning the art of crochet. Just takes time for all of us and the learning curve at the beginning can be the hardest.😊

[@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.

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.

[@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]

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.

[@caroldeans5363]

I have done eight rounds and the hat appears to bowl shape, but doesn't look "snug" enough on my head. What should i do? I know I need to add more rows, but will that just make it even more floppy.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

carol deans you may need to check your stitch count to be sure you are not adding extra stitches. If that isn’t the problem, you may need to use a smaller hook size. I recommend downloading the free written pattern to check your stitch gauge.
