Easy Granny Cluster Crochet Beanie - Beginner Friendly

[@natashajelks2935]

When you said “if you don’t like this method. I might not be your girl”. That’s when I knew you were my girl. Thank you for the super awesomeness. I enjoyed making this hat!!!!

[@kellicurtis2711]

Natasha Deshun, same here. I thought the exact same thing. 😄

[@LisaMcGraw-ib7rj]

❤ all Mel's Tips!!! Watching tutorial all they way through is the biggest for me! Mel welcomed questions. I posted her peach baby blanket on her FB page....it was an even every which way....haha! She was so kind & knew exactly what I was doing wrong

[@trudiscottay6487]

Love your tutorials. You have taught me so much!!! I’ve made blankets, scarves and now hats all from your videos! Thank you so much for being a great teacher!!!!

[@SuperDarlaD]

My favorite hat so far! Love all your tutorials.

[@patricia92949]

I made a poncho with Granny pattern and this hat was perfect with it. Thank you Melanie, it was so so easy and took an hour to do! I love your tutorials

[@kaydence0530]

I have watched MANY crochet videos this last week. You are by far the best I have seen. Thank you for teaching me!

[@thewritelizz]

This tutorial is so well done. And I watch a lot of them. Thank you. This should be the model for beginning crochet tutorials. Yay!

[@lorilejeune8544]

Omg! You are marvelous! Best teacher by far! I love the granny square hat. I just finished it.🙋🏼‍♀️

[@sharonclifford3076]

There is no other who teaches projects and makes them easily easily achievable the way you do. You are the best. Thank you.

[@MelanieHam]

Sharon Clifford I appreciate that thank you!

[@n.w.414]

@@MelanieHam is this a chunky yarn? I can’t find anywhere that says what weight of yarn you use.

[@sherikoehler732]

Such a stylish soft hat! I've not made a cluster hat yet and believe I can crochet this using your tutorial. Thank you!

[@gypsieemerald2658]

The first shawl I did was a granny stitch and I bought the super saver yarn and it stripped itself like that too. Turned out really pretty

[@YourbelleKnits-j6r]

I love this pattern especially the starting band. I have been using it for all of my hats lately even if I don't follow through and crochet the granny dc clusters. My hats always turn out lovely. I even took 4 full-sized granny vintage granny squares the ones with 3 rows of color and then the black 4th row. I connected those together as a band and crochet the rest of the hat upwards in the granny dc clusters and it turned out beautifully. This pattern that you have created is so versatile. Thanks for it again!!!

[@Asianprincess426]

Thank you Melanie! You give such great instructions. Easy to follow and the hat is great! I enjoy your videos. I have learned a lot from you.

[@NJNUNEZ]

Perfect tutorial!!!😊

[@andreamuse2002]

Love your tutorials, you were my 1st crochet tutorial....it was a cowl! 😊 Can you do more hat's?

[@lisastreasures]

You've given me another pattern to love. Thanks so much😀

[@MelanieHam]

Love hearing that, thank you! Happy Stitching!

[@luwandaartrelle4250]

I made this hat with chunky yarn called shadow. it came out nice and I made a matching cowl

[@ManicMama]

Awesome tutorial thank you.

[@rhodaedwards7404]

Hi Melanie, thank you for all your lovely tutorials. I am new to crochet could you tell me what yarn to purchase to work on your hats and mittens. I would like to make something for my grandson as it is getting cold but the yarns are a bit confusing to me as I don’t know which to buy. They are so many types out there.

[@suzannerushton4707]

May I compliment you on the quality of your instructions on ALL your work, not just this production. Your camera work is excellent, with enough closeups to give clear indications of the stiches and you stitch at a good pace to follow easily. But what sets you apart from many of the other tutors is your silence.......you let your vision do the talking and don't overwhelm with chat, instructions and vision simultaneously. .....As an absolute beginner to crotcheting you have been a Godsend.

[@danielleolivieri4838]

it only took me 12 hours for my first thru 1000 attempt. but I did it. thank you

[@sruthikuncham83]

Thnk u so much for such a wonderful design I made it n it turned out awesome 😍😍😍

[@lizbethrodriguez9552]

Hi. I had a question is there a way to make stitches closer so there is a smaller gap?

[@byronchandler5000]

Hi, Melanie. Your crochet beanie looks absolutely adorable, just like you. What do you love about crochet beanies? Have a good day, Melanie.

[@MelanieHam]

Thanks Byron!

[@jwatley313]

[@danielleracineracine1318]

Beautiful pattern! 💕💕 I'll be making one this weekend. 😉

[@tinystarkimable]

Is that a 4 medium wt yarn ?

[@eileenricker1140]

Love it!

[@tracygillon6078]

Hi Melanie, I can't find answer to my question, I did look.love vid by the way.If my head is 22" would you do actual 22" or would u do 21" as it stretches to head better.but obvs don't want it tight.hope u get back to me soon as I'm can't wait to start it All the best Tracy. Oh p.s what mm is a k hook.

[@beadyjanet5587]

I made a hat from this tutorial and loved it. It worked perfectly. But the second one I'm trying flares out from the band and gets too baggy. What am I doing wrong?

[@handydandycrafts]

Cute beanies!

[@n.w.414]

I have checked all the links you suggest but you never say what weight of yarn you are using!!! Very frustrating.

[@n.w.414]

I just did that too, found nothing. This tutorial looks like chunky yarn. Weird that she never tells us.

[@a_tc]

Are we allowed to use a large tapestry needle or is that not an option?

[@Yusuf-Fana]

haii malanie!!!! i really really love your tutorials, fun to watch and easy to understand...😍 i couldnt really find the chart size of the lenght of the hat's band... pls help me with that... Love, Sihaam

[@joypeaceo]

Nice! I made two of your slouchy hats in your previous videos, they came out beautiful. Do your hand ever hurt or cramp up from crocheting? I'm starting to have that problem from crocheting so often. Do you have any suggestions for this problem? Thanks!

[@kelleyalmond1667]

joypeaceo take breaks. Open and close your hands, massage your fingers,etc. you may be too tense, try to loosen up a little.

[@LisaMcGraw-ib7rj]

Robert ...if I order the yarn linked are yall getting credit? I wanted to make sure before ordering....I'm thinking ya'll are ....❤️

[@chunkzie]

hi! what yarn did you use for the colorful hat without the pom pom? i'd love to recreate that one!

[@MelanieHam]

chunkzie it’s lion brand landscapes

[@ShawnTheBombDotCom]

Finally finished mine😂😂😂

[@MelanieHam]

Yay!

[@smurfmummy3106]

Hi Melanie, what brand is the rainbow yarn, it's gorgeous! Such an easy to follow tutorial, increasing and decreasing scare me so this is my kinda tutorial 😉😊 Keep up the super work!

[@MelanieHam]

Smurfmummy it’s Lion Brand landscapes :)

[@brandyjo3524]

How will u know when I have enough rows I know that might be a silly question but I don’t want to add to many rows

[@brittanyolsen6325]

What hooks do you use?

[@aprilreno4885]

would double stranding wosterd weight work the same. i dont have enough chunky yarn for this atm

[@MelanieHam]

April Reno yes! You don’t even have to double it, the navy blue one in the video is worsted weight. I have all the modifications for that one on the blog post

[@bishopk1985]

Omg 8:31 to 8:38 you are totally my girl. I mean really why can't one just make it work.

[@jodiekingsley5181]

Do you do front post back. Cables. In. Crochet

[@ayamansour9625]

What's size of hook?

[@zanzibarr4122]

Hi. thank you for the great tutorial. i finished the first few rows of the hat and at that point you said that at that point to check if its not "V" shape. however mine has made a "V" shape about 10 rows in and its so big. what can i do to reduce the stich count to make it "^"? i hope this question is not confusing!

[@nadineyeldo5168]

Is this hat slouchy?

[@cathyettinger6722]

can u tell me what i am doing wrong it just gets wider and wider

[@luwandaartrelle4250]

Remember you will cinch the hat in the end

[@stonecrestquilt]

You sure are missed sweet lady 💗

[@serinaventura127]

she dosnt tell you how to tie off the end so you can sew it together cause thats where I am stuck

[@kaylatillett5941]

Anyone else struggling with the sc once the band is complete???

[@sarahhrrsn]

Miine seems to be getting wider as its going upwards

[@beadyjanet5587]

Mine too

[@cathyettinger6722]

i started out with10on the band now i have13wide and i don;t know what i am doing wrong

[@Artemis23516]

I don't have a hook so will a pencil work?

[@freakybiohazard]

GENEVIEVE MAXSON Using a pencil wouldn't work for this , you could get a hook at Walmart for about 1-2dollars

[@reale699]

Miss u

[@smallfootprint2961]

I can follow you pretty well but still don't understand why we chain 5 and then crochet 4... and why we skip one on the first row and not thereafter. I'm giggling while I write this because these are some of the little things that has held me back forever. Thanks for your clear way of showing the steps. I'll keep watching and eventually I'll get it. Such a cute hat. Thanks for posting.

[@MelanieHam]

small footprint you need an extra for the turn :)

[@smallfootprint2961]

Oh. I get it. It's the chain one on the other turns... duh!

[@cathyettinger6722]
