Easy Crochet Beanie with Cat Ears Tutorial

[@onyx.lightworker]

Thank you for your tutorial, I began learning how to crotchet 2 days ago and then watched this video and it was the EASIEST to follow out of all of the hat tutorials!! Thanks--I feel so much more confident now :)

[@CherilynQ]

Yay! I'm so glad!!

[@RachelBarker444]

I like this tutorial. I would say not for total beginners but if you know basics of crochet it works up quickly. The hat is cute. Next time I will make it 6 inches bc it was a little short. I do wish the way to do the ribbing wasnt another link but in general this tutorial made a cute hat. Its customizable once you get the basics.

[@onyx.lightworker]

Disagree! Didn't know how to "slip" or "double", or rib AT ALL at the start of this video. I've now completed a hat... so its possible!! Just got to pay attention and rewatch, rewatch, rewatch, restitch! Takes time :)

[@SB_thatsme]

I've been hooking for over 30 years, and this is the first time I've felt bad for a newcomer to fiber arts concerning a tutorial. Having to go back to your channel to watch for parts that should be in this tutorial is not fair to a newb.

[@SierraVillanueva-e2c]

@@SB_thatsme thus whole tutorial is very confusing

[@elegantlywasted5447]

Very complicated technique

[@Trajikdeath]

@@elegantlywasted5447 been hooking since I was 6 (32 years 😅) I actually struggled. I had to change it up to make it make sense to my hands lol.

[@elegantlywasted5447]

@ it’s really cute. I’m goimg to see if I can

[@1bboykins]

As an advanced crocheter I would HIGHLH suggest simplifying this. It was unnecessarily complicated. The double crochet at the beginning of round one could’ve simply been just a regular ch 2.

[@gosteddieeddie]

i think the modified dc with foundation chains was to help keep the edges even. i find that it works best for me but you can always modify the pattern to your strengths

[@CherilynQ]

Good luck!!

[@moyrazuniga1413]

Thank you for this tutorial! It was awesome! Some how tho.. I never got a chance to figure out how to do the ribbing haha! Like I did it but it turned out wider somehow but I made sure to only add and connect in same row, came out pretty awesome but if you could explain maybe why it came out wrong with the ribbing coming out wide haha 😄 appreciate the video pretty awesome!

[@mjperfume1523]

U make it look so easy

[@zombiegirl71]

Ok. Please clarify for us all it would make it easier to understand: when turning majority of the ear corners, we only use the special stitch and markered areas on one side of beanie, right? And advice: more pics full photos of layout as you progress helps A LOT. most tutorials don’t show that.

[@FreeskeinfromMZZCOOLBEANZZZ]

COOL BEANZZZ!

[@VictoriasCraftyRoom]

Thanks bunches!! Love this pattern!!!

[@CherilynQ]

So glad! You’re welcome!

[@solongosoko9586]

Wow so good 🥰

[@pipermeadow6487]

Wait so did you do two triangles and crochet them together? I somehow am completely missing the part where you have it doubled if that makes sense

[@Minshiya]

Since it's worked in a round it's all one piece

[@ohaiClemmy]

OMG this is super cute! 🥺🧡

[@CherilynQ]

Thanks so much! 🥰

[@c-rex1221]

Is it possible to do this with a twist in the middle, like can you still do the ears but not connect the two sides so you can sew an x twist at the end?

[@Goozzie]

Thank you so much!! this is so cute

[@CherilynQ]

I'm glad you like it! 🥰

[@melmaldonado6292]

❤❤❤ NOICEEEE HEH very easy to follow :3 can you possibly add the link to the ribbing tutorial? Because I’m lost

[@CherilynQ]

You can find the ribbing tutorial either on the top right corner of the video player, or at the bottom of the description box. Hope this helps you find it! 🥰

[@zombiegirl71]

I’m thinking this method is to hide the side seam. It would be nice of her to tell us that is why she’s doing it this way explain why she does what she does will help us out a lot better.

[@ElizabethHart-v1v]

Where can I find the ribbing tutorial thx

[@donnagrainger7786]

It's in the description...scroll down and you will find it.

[@CherilynQ]

Or click the exclamation mark on the top right corner of the video player.

[@donnagrainger7786]

@CherilynQ 😮 I never noticed that either. Apparently, I am blind. I guess I have been too busy frogging it, because I keep skipping a chain, and end up with a noticeable gap. One day, I will be rocking this hat... one day.

[@Zoontii]

its in general a good tutorial but the end is confusing i would have liked to see that for 1 or 2 rows.... i am so confused idk what to do xD

[@monicarobles5440]

Where do I find the step by step tutorial for the ribbing part ?

[@JannexTera]

I really want to make this but I am not with a meaduring tape what should i do?

[@SierraVillanueva-e2c]

Just put it around your head once you make the chain and see if it cover about half of your going around

[@gracewairimundibah]

it's purrrfect 😸😸😻

[@CherilynQ]

haha 😆

[@FantasyJoann]

Love this video! But umm... I'm currently on the part where you have to crochet the "base" to 5.5 inches, but the right side of my rectangle is kind of getting longer as we go. It's like an inch from being straight 😅

[@collettewusu6409]

I wish I prewatched this video before I started 😭😭

It’d be great if you linked the ribbing tutorial. Can’t find it anywhere.

Do u inc on each end, if that’s correct than I would inc by 9 stitches

Hi!! I'm glad you liked it! and I appreciate you trying to understand what went wrong. As to your question, I know you said you made sure to only add and connect in same row, but I can't think of any other reason except for that 😭 Maybe you can double-check: count your stitch number of the last round and your ribbing row count, and see if they match. If they don't, then you've added extra rows by accident. Let me know if they do though, cuz it doesn't make sense 😞
