You weren't monetized when I started crocheting, so here! LOL Thank you for showing me how to crochet my first beanie ever!

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

That is awesome! Thank SO much!

[@southern_tori4968]

I started crocheting in 2016 from your videos and here it is 7 years later and I still come back to your videos to remember how to increase 😂 my almost 7 year old asked me today to make him a beanie and I haven’t made one since he was about one year old 🙁

[@olimpiacosta7663]

Thank you for your video. It is simple and very clear. I'm 81 years, I have crochet, knit and sewing since I was a little girl. I'm always doing something for the FRIENDS OF THE HOSPITAL in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal and now I'm visiting the family in Texas, USA. I was browsing through different patterns and I loved your instructions. Thank you again. Olimpia Costa

AWESOME! My 3 yr. old grandson loves his hat. He had been asking me for awhile. I finally found and instructor that was EASY to understand. And it was so quick and easy. Now I'm going to make one for my 2 year old granddaughter. I definitely am going to be one of your faithful students.

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

cassandrac27 I am so happy to have you as my student too, I am delighted you found my tutorial useful. Thank you for your kind feedback.

Thanks!

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Thank you so much!

[@judithfleser3703]

Thank you so much for such a great and EASY to follow tutorial. I’ve been crocheting since I was...let’s just say about 50 years or so. I never knew how to make a hat, but I’ve made lots of granny squares 😂. Thanks to your videos, I’m making my nieces and nephew each a hey for Christmas this year.

[@Reemalrahby-x8p]

oh my god, i saw this video and immidietly started, i wanted to crochet a beanie for my 4 year old cousin and this is perfect. all though a tip for other begginners; make sure not to get lost between the video and crocheting at the same time, it can be quite confusing. i kept getting confused and had to start all over again 4 times so this is technachly day 2 of me doing this but dont worry guys, with practice and patience u will nail it. dont rush at all it can ruin your stiches and the shape ( of the stiches ) wont be as even and the ones here in the video. thank you for creating this video :) i might start a buisness because i just found out how talented i am in crocheting because of u !

[@gamingwithaflavour1000]

Hi! I just wanted to give you a big thank you for your hard work. I am 10 years old and I started crocheting when I was almost 9. That was in 2016. I started watching your videos when I was a beginner, now I’m advanced. I do hold my hook differently but it doesn’t affect the look of my projects! The way you hold it is complicated to me but someday I’ll get it! My sister is 5 and I’m thinking of teaching her crochet XD ilysm xx

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

That's brilliant! I'm so glad you are enjoying your crocheting journey :D

[@amygeddon2816]

I realise this video is from a while ago so you may not read your comments, but I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you. You taught me to crochet! I went through so many tutorials but this is the one I managed to get through, understand and felt comfortable doing. My little one is super pleased with her beanie which makes me extremely proud too. So thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Glad you enjoyed it 😀👍

[@deez8442]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It's my first time at crocheting and I am so pleased with the result. I made a beautiful beanie for my 4 year old grand daughter.

[@cheyenneb8378]

[@nadinebriggs2741]

Great pattern, easy to follow and understand. No hidden tricks or left out instructions. I really appreciate your honesty.

[@msmyramorgan751]

Hello and thank you. I have been looking for a "plain and simple" beanie for my 8yo granddaughter. and this is beautiful. She's going to love it in an ombre colored yarn. Thank you so much for great instructions. They will be well used. 💜

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

I'm so glad! ☺️

[@katnonya417]

I just have to say thank you for you're videos!!! They are so easy to follow (when I mess up I usually missed a stitch lol) all I could do was single stitches for years and years and now I'm making mice and turtles and snails and mittens and soon hats!!! I used the iris stitch to make scarves now as well! Thank you so much! XD

Thanks for your tutorials. It is so helpful. I used this to make beanies for a charity project that I crochet for.

[@netgrl2008]

Thank you for this video. I am a new crocheter and was scared to do a hat, but you made it so easy.

[@stellamata8770]

Love your videos. Especially because you explain the correct size, you are very informative.

[@daileighnovember]

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Teresa Anglim That's wonderful !! I am happy you like the tutorial.

[@helenlockwood2513]

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL....GIVES TIME TO LEARN THE PATTERN CORRECTLY & PAUSING REALLY HELPS. TX.

[@meganhight8921]

I made this hat for a 4 year-old for Christmas and it came out way bigger than the other pattern I used for her fathers. I can't even wear this hat and I'm 23 years old. The hat measures out the same as yours and all my stitch counts were right. I have been crocheting for 2 years and never have this problem

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

megan hight Well you've lost me then, it may be the yarn you used, who knows. All I can suggest is try the next size down and see if that helps. Happy crocheting!

[@kim-dn1cd]

oh wow thanks for the awesome tutorial! i've only made two beanies before and i finished this in two days

[@Swissgreys]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is the tutorial that finally taught me how to crochet a beanie. And it is super easy and fast. It is costing me a fortune in yarn, but the kids are all thrilled with their new 'Mama made' hats :-))

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Swissgreys That is fantastic! (apart from the cost he he), so glad you managed to follow along. Thank you for your kind feedback.

[@tiffanywhite668]

Thank you for such a clear video, very good quality easy to follow. I just have one suggestion, maybe point out not to make any stitches in slip stitch joint. I did that the first time and had to take all my work out and finally figured it out what I did wrong from a tutorial I had previously seen from someone else. I'm still kind of a beginner. Thank you again!

[@MrsDivaTurtle]

Thanks for a great tutorial and an easy to follow pattern. I used it to make hats for my son's. I wish I could share a picture.

You're good ❤thank you for all your excellent tutorials.

[@piquanta1]

Thank you. This is the best cap tutorial

[@Khwaja-E-Hamid-poet]

Thank you very much for this tutorial its very easy to understand because you explain too clearly. The first time I watched this vedio and I know how to crochet a hat and I did

[@hitsujiyume]

Just in case anyone else is having the same trouble with row 5 that I had...do 7 dc in the beginning instead of 6. This row needs to be in multiples of 9, and doing 6 at the start instead of 7 means that you have a multiple of 8 in there too. This results in a dropped stitch, meaning that you have 53 at the end instead of 54 and are left with 1 extra stitch. So you could either just skip that 1 stitch and slst to end the row, or add 1 extra stitch, which creates a weird little point thing...or you could go back and re-do the row using the method I did. I re-did this row at least twice before I figured this out...just didn't make sense mathematically (and this coming from someone who HATES math!)

[@123noelle123]

She counts the ch2 at the beg as her first stitch. 6 DC plus the ch2 is 7sts. Shes increasing in the 8th (a multiple of 48) stitch which will give you an additional 6 sts at the end and a total stch ct of 54. This video is mathematically correct

[@Spirituallabyrinth39]

Thank you this is the easiest to follow video I've found perfect color or yarn not hard to see and perfect pace.😊

[@laurenhahn9302]

What a fantastic tutorial! Clear, simple, easy to follow, well explained steps! Well done and thank you so much for posting this! I am an absolute beginner, and thanks to your tutorial I managed to produce this hat first time. Okay, some of the stitches are a little messy, but practice makes perfect, and my son is only three so he doesn't mind... So many tutorials do fine explaining the first one or two rounds, then the explanations go too fast and the stitches are too quick. Yours was just right, with just the right amount of explaining and going over the steps and stitch counts. Thank you for taking the time to make and post this.

[@HappyBerryCrochet]
