Quick & Easy Ribbed Hat - Crochet Tutorial!

[@ArleneUSee]

Finally a Ribbed hat without that Nasty bump on top. I love it. Thank u so very much

[@blueminutes4686]

It turned out perfectly! Really easy and fast. My final row I used half double crochet in each stitch, and it made a clean trim. I have never been a fan of post stitches, but I gave it a try. You're clear instruction was very helpful. Thank you!

[@sandrascott436]

Just love the way you teach up close and personal. One can see what your doing. Thank you so much.

[@rosactaylor]

FINALLY!!!! A ribbed hat I don’t have to sew 🧵!!!!!

[@CostaWanti]

There are many more out there. Just google😉

[@kellip625]

@@CostaWanti but there aren’t many teachers out there like Craig…. So I’ll stick with him…. Thanks anyway for the tip!!

[@CostaWanti]

@@kellip625 you should explore. Maybe they are not as good in your opinion, but they are still really good😉

[@sandragriffiths9692]

I'm with you on that😁I have just finished one in Aran with a 6 hook, I love it and am doing to make another☺ next.

[@cherylschram862]

I’ll stick with Fiber Spider 😊 I’m making my 4th. 🎉

[@sylviaweitzel]

You made my day ❣️ I am 64. Been crocheting for 56 yrs off and on. I don't do that many different stitches. I get intimidated. I can't read a pattern. You have changed it all. My beanies have always been the rectangular double crochet. Cinched at the top. I finished yours and it's beautiful. Christmas presents are on the way. Thank you so much. Looking forward to seeing and learning more from you❣️ thank you again! HAPPY HOOKING 😊

[@Lulu4Him]

U R the Best teacher in YT! I enjoy listening to your calming voice too. Easy to follow. Thank you!

[@sparagmos4748]

I am really happy to find a tutorial for a hat that is dense enough to be really warm, but not too chunky, thanks 👍

[@hillbillyheavenWV]

I love this design & thank you so very much for making this tutorial❣️ Also I love your voice, it is so smooth & calming & relaxing ❤

[@danalowe5033]

This is a great video, I am fairly new to crochet (other than a blanket) and I found this tutorial so easy to follow. I was very nervous I'd mess it up but it was just so easy. Not all videos can do that so well done to you! Thank you so much.

[@abc-wv4in]

I, too, much prefer hats that don't have to be gathered at the top, and start at the crown, ending with the brim. They are the only kind of hat patterns I use now. You are an excellent teacher. Thanks and God bless.

[@NarNarRocks]

You have the nicest soothing voice with such clear instructions. You made my day...thank you so much

[@cjspahl4402]

FABULOUS Pattern! It's been a very long time since I've Crocheted, as I mostly knit anymore. And, I've never done the fpdc and bpdc stitches. BUT ... your explanations and demonstrations were SUPERBLY clear and I just sailed through it like I'd been doing those stitches forever! THANK YOU for your EXCELLENT teaching techniques!! I Absolutely LOVE this hat and it will probably be my go-to choice from now on, replacing the regular k2-p2 Knitted ribbed hat I've made for years! BEAUTIFUL Hat! BEAUTIFUL Tutorial! Thank You, again! AWESOME!!!

[@scrimshawrose3236]

I love this hat, I just made one longer than the bottom of my ears and made a cuff fold. warmer ears, the stretch is awesome. Just started another one. The stretch is nice because it fits a smaller head or a bigger one. I made several of your waffle pattern hats, but as far as fit goes this is much easier. I just left the bottom as is and folded it up. Thank you!

[@walterwhite5100]

This is a fantastic tutorial. I notice some people are doubting the size. I have made several of these beanies and after round 6 when you have 72 stitches if it measures 5.5"-6" it will fit a adult head. Also it takes a while for it to take the shape of a beanie it might look like a "saucer" just keep going around and make sure you maintain 72 stitches you'll be good to go✔️💯

[@KiyoNanni]

Will the 72 stitch size fit a n adult with a head size measuring 22.5”?

[@walterwhite5100]

@KiyoNanni Yes it should indeed my head is roughly the same circumstance. Of course it depends on your tension I have fairly tight tension and it fits me great. This hat has a fair bit on stretch once completed.

[@KiyoNanni]

@@walterwhite5100 thank you for you comment. I decided to change the hook size to K from round 7, to make it large enough to fit a head circumference of 23", and it turned out too large, and my son in law was "swimming' in it, so I went back down to hook size J, and it worked out just fine. In the video instructions, no mention was made of the head circumference this pattern would fit, for instance from head circumference 22 " to 23". For me, my head circumference is 21.5 and I had to go down to hook size I for the final 3 rows. All good now!

[@carolcal438]

My goodness!! Thank you for that info. I was so worried I was in the middle of making a doily, so I started reading all the comments. 😂 I absolutely love this pattern.

[@guryabab131]

Thank you so much. I like the way you talk all through. Your voice is so soothing and encouraging.

[@rubyshiu5195]

Thank you for showing us so clearly and repeating the parts that need a little practice to get right! Crocheting is better than caffeine!! :D

[@JenPolishAholic]

Just finished making this, same yarn but in a blue color! I decided to do a couple rounds of half double crochet as a brim. Love how squishy this beanie is!

[@kristelejurado3218]

I absolutely love this beanie pattern. I too am not a fan of the “floppy hat” and am so glad I found your channel. I am forever making beanies this way. Thank you kindly for this beautiful pattern.

[@whalesong813]

Thank you for this terrific pattern. I've been trying to figure out a top down ribbed hat for a few days without success and here it is! :)

[@raelenecoleman2864]

I also give thanks to this pattern for all those who have trouble following directions! 🥰

[@joanne1713]

Perfect tutorial! You’re a wonderful teacher thank you!!

[@teresab126]

I really love your clear instructions and videos! Thank you so much ❤❤❤

[@paulinemccullen4195]

me too. I use cotton yarn and I have to figure out how many extra loops I need as it is not usually DK weight/size. my hair gets electrified from other non cotton yarns 😵‍💫

[@bredib]

Fantastic pattern, tried it and it's just the perfect hat. Thank you so much for all your effort in keeping it structured and explained with calm & patience. Much appreciated 😃

[@sherryp4779]

This was an excellent tutorial. The yarn was light, the camera was close, and the slow explanation made it was to do this hat.

[@patsunkel2501]

I honestly love your clear instructions with this design and the only pattern I've succeeded with...thanks to you @Fiber Spider

[@DorothyBeine]

Udes this pattern to make my husband a camo hat. He loves how warm it is. Thank you so much for making such easy-to-follow tutorials.

[@walkerthompson]

This is my #1 go-to hat when I want to make some fun, quick, and easy. Great tutorial, love the pattern. I've made a bunch of them and will continue to make more. 🙂 Thanks so much!

[@cantik88_]

Ribbed Hat unlocked last week. Super easy peasy. Love all your crochet tutorials ❤

[@tessij8205]

Great pattern, I've made a few and everyone loves how thick and stretchy it is! Love your clear calm instructions and that I can click on the separate rows for reference.

[@DianaShkreta]

Thank you for this tutorial . The way how you explain makes you feel to finish the hat in 3hours . I cant wait to see another pattern . Happy Holidays

[@nrgltwrkr2225]

Thank you soooo much! I cannot wait to begin this hat! I am currently working on your earflap hat pattern for warmth, just finishing the basic video. 🙂 I have to say, that in every one of your videos, I learn a wonderful "nugget" - a tip or technique that makes everything easier or looking better. I am becoming a more confident crocheter, thanks to you!

[@juliachapman1899]

Mentioning new tips from FiSpi… I ❤️the way you, FiSpi, use the crochet hook in such a way for it to be an extension of your finger tips! A really economical movement (for speed & using less energy) -so clever😊Those lovely hooks & you ❤each other!?! Wish I could use them (even if you still can buy those partic ones…)but they twizzle around in my hand too much & I lose direction! Thank you j c 🦜🦜

[@NeeloferHameed]

Thankyou very much for this beautiful tutorial. I made this pattern for my son . It’s really very easy pattern n I post its photos in Pinterest .thanks again.I need more patterns.

[@glorumies]

I really love your videos. So clear and beautiful soothing voice. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@I8MyEar]

Picked up crocheting recently. This hat is the first thing I've completed. Your instructions are great. I want to do another with a lighter weight yarn, and I'm guessing I'll need an extra increase. The one I just finished, an hour ago, is a bit snug but I imagine it will relax as I wear it. I look forward to taking in some of your other projects.

[@sherryb1997]

This is the best Crochet tutorial I've seen so far. I'm ready to give it a go. Thank you.

[@beritlemoge5530]

Love your pattern - easily understood directions - first one turned out great - on to many more!

[@vanessapereira8007]

I love this hat i am making 5 for my skiers. Such a warm hat.❤

[@beckywilson8195]

Absolutely fantastic tuition - thank you! I have made my very first beanie hat.

[@teresahansen9130]

This is truly one of the BEST tutorials! It is very detailed but direct. He’s an awesome teacher!!! Thank you soooo much❤

[@mayolson2]

Great pattern! I love the look of front/back post stitches and the way you worked this out is amazing.👌

[@vessnalucille5074]

Thank you for this pattern. I just finished my first every sinple crochet hat and I love it. I had another ball of yarn and wanted to try something a little more challenging. I fount this video. I loved your instructions, no nonsense and very clear. I enjoyed learning from you!!!😁🤩

[@iluminameluna]

I made this pattern before I saw your tut, but I couldn't quite see how to do the increases, which is why I came looking. 😂 😍 There was one thing I came up w/ tho that might make this hat just a tad warmer w/out sacrificing electricity? In the the in-between stitches, where the increases go, make the stitches from the BACK: instead of going for the yarn w/ the hook from the front like we usually do, go for the yarn through the gap from the back, & pull the yarn through the that way, as if you were going to do a back post. When you see the row done that way, you'll see the stitches closing up the gaps much better, meaning less air flow in those rows. A great advantage when those folks have to spend any time outdoors with these hats! ❤ It was just a chance I took because I couldn't remember how I did an old pattern I made for an old friend! I hope it's easy to understand. Otherwise, I'll try to post a cpl of pics to show what i mean. I'm not great at social media.😅

[@estherpoon207]

I am looking for a beautiful and easy beanie hat pattern, because I have vounteered to make as many as I could for the boys and teenages in the third world by July. This is a perfect one for me. Thank you so much.

[@BPPride817]

Nice tutorial! You're very clear step by step in every roumds. No cinching. Thank you!

So adaptable re sizing! Looks warm!

[@52oldtimerocker]

Easy pattern ..works up fast and love the texture. Another nice hat for the donation box!

[@mindyalbright4491]

Always glad to see this pattern. I have been making this pattern in its many variations for at least forty years and trying to spread the word. Thank you for posting it so that more people can learn this wonderful pattern. It also works very well in all front post, or front post with ribbing at the bottom, or even a sort of basket weave. My personal preference is for 14 stitches at the beginning, and seven lines of increase, which, yes, show up sharply. Also, over time, I worked out how to work this pattern as a spiral, so there is no obvious line where you move to the next row. Try it!

[@louloustreasuretrove2122]

Hi Craig, love your ribbed hat. Thanks for sharing, so kindhearted of you. You are so talented and can not wait to see what you come with next. Hope you have a wonderful rest of your week.~~Sindy.

[@kathylambert9499]

This is the second hat I've made from your videos. Such great directions. You make it so easy to follow. Consider showing the hat being worn in your videos for all of us very visual people. Thank you!

[@marymorris6897]

I made this with LB Wool Ease, using a smallish hook I added two increase rows. The hat turned out fabulous. I finished with about four rows of third loop hdc. It's not a particularly feminine hat, but it will keep my head warm. Thank you so much for this great pattern!!!!!

[@kimratliff4398]

Thank you Craig! I love this pattern and made 2 this weekend. I love your tutorials.

[@georginapantoja7962]

[@kdolguin]

I love the texture this pattern brings. Finished it looks knitted not crocheted.. love it

[@tessij8205]

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful pattern! I tried a similar one from another channel, it turned out great, but it was so confusing. You have such a nice way of explaining it and your voice is easy on the ears! All your tutorials are easy to understand, follow, and good visuals!

Very creative, love the color of both yarns. Great tutorial and very easy to follow.

[@JW-jy4mn]

Love this pattern! Thanks for a great tutorial that was easy to follow. I added 3 rows of hdc to the bottom of my hat & liked the way it finished it off. I also just crocheted up a hot pad using only the increased rounds of this pattern using cotton yarn. A keeper! Nice and thick. Works up quick & easy.

[@SmokeyMtnRobin]

I really like this one! I can't wait to try it! It would also make a pretty pot holder, dish cloth or face cloth if you continued the increases up to your desired size. Sooo can't wait to play with this stitch!

Hello Craig, thanks for another great tutorial. Blessings

[@lisawhisken5225]

Those increases worked out beautifully , great job I am going to try this one x

[@jxey1]

For a straighter brim, i've found that instead of doing the last and first HDC stitches in the back loop, going through both loops makes it look much neater and less gappy! Might save your hands from doing a slipstitch around the edge.

[@Sunchybunch]

I love the texture! Started making one right away.

[@imzanawlto3070]
