How To Crochet a Beanie for Absolute Beginners: Child Size: Basic Beanie

[@palomaquerida604]

I’ve always wanted to make one of these with the ear covers and braids, and this was a great tutorial! Thank you! Just finished my first (child) one! Will be making a second one for the sibling!

[@ganareddy7286]

Thank you. Was able to follow easily. Clear instructions. Pleasant voice.

[@tammi67able]

I can’t thank you enough for being such a great instructor, I’ve never used the 2 chain method and I love it! And never in a thousand years did I think is ever be able to make a beenie with flaps on it!!! Thank you for making this so nice and easy!!

[@amelsahota4614]

Thank you so much. 🙏🏽 I am crocheting for a children’s charity for the winter ❄️ I will definitely will being doing couple of these. ❤️🇬🇧

Hi Pam! I'm so happy I can be helpful. 😊🧡🧶

[@kareninman220]

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial Tiffany! I used a smaller hook and reduced the hat length by 2 rows to fit my 3 year old grandson! I am making Turkey hats with this basic earflap beanie! 💜🧶

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Oh how fun!!!!! Love it. Thanks for sharing Karen. 🤗❤️🧶

[@donnaserpiello6140]

What size hook did you use to make for 3 year old?

[@jennafuchs1520]

Wow! This video is amazing! You are so clear with your instructions. I am brand new to crocheting and this video makes me feel like I could make these!

[@cyndyelasigue1048]

After finishing the beanie, based on your tutorial video, I thought my finished product will be too big for my granddaughter's head but it didn't. It was a perfect fit. Thank you. She loved it!

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

That is so great Cyndy! I am so happy that the beanie fit and that your granddaughter loved it! Thank you so much for sharing. 🤗🧡🧶

What size, circumference, is your granddaughter’s head? I want to make this for a child with a head circumference of 21 ( across the forehead)? Do I need to adjust anything?

[@brianna7823]

Just came here to say this is one of the easiest to follow crochet videos I've come across! Thank you for being so thorough, my son is going to love this hat! This is going to be the base of a spider-man hat I am Frankenstein-ing together. Thank you!

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

I love that you are going to take this beanie and personalize it to look like Spiderman. That was my goal, was to provide something basic enough that you could take it and run. Let your creative mind take over. Can't wait for you to play with this pattern. HAVE FUN!

Another brilliant tutorial Tiffany, when my children were at primary school in the early 80’s they stood out with their home knitted hats mittens and scarfs... I didn’t crochet then. If I had “ they would have had waistcoats and satchels to match. I beautiful thing for a parent to hand make for a child.

Easy to follow and nice pattern but it's come out a little on the small side for my almost 5 year old, using the same wool and hook size

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Roz! It can be hard to group everyone in a single category when people are so different. I see that you used the same wool and the same hook size. Maybe, with your next beanie, give the adult/teen size Basic Beanie a try and see if that fits better. Thank you so much for leaving a comment and sharing. 😊🧡🧶

Hi TT! Great question! Thanks for asking. You will slip stitch into the top of the very first Double Crochet. 👍

Pl clarify round 4 Difference in written terms and verbal terms

Sure thing! For the Child Size Basic Beanie, Rnd 4: You will inc dc (or make 2 dc) in the first stitch, and then one dc in the next 2 stitches. You will repeat inc dc in the next stitch, then one dc in the next 2 stitches all the way around. I hope this helps.

[@tinaanderson3218]

I don’t understand how this beanie can fit a baby and an adult with the same stitches around. Only difference is rows. Am I missing something?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

That is a great question Tina. It’s all about the increase rows at the beginning. You increase stitches per row until you get the crown size to be dimensional to the age of the individual (which is found from a chart showing average size dimension of head per age range). Once you have met the correct size for crown dimension or crown diameter you just work on the sides of the beanie to form down the head. Lengths of the beanie will differ based on how a person likes to wear the beanie. I hope this helps Tina! 😊🧶❤️

The decrease in the stitches

[@margiea.uhlemeyer560]

I TRIED ANOTHER BEANIE FOR A BABY 0-3 MONTHS. I SURE DON'T KNOW WHAT I DO WRONG BUT I CAN COUNT TIL I'M BLUE AND IT COMES OUT TOO SMALL-ELF SIZE LOL BUT IT'S FRUSTRATING. I'M GOING TO TRY THIS ONE FOR MY 11 Y/O GRANDDAUGHTER AND I WANT TO MAKE THE SAME FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER DUE SOON, SIZE 0-3 MONTHS. I'M GOING TO ADD BRAIDS AND DINO SPIKES. DO YOU HAVE THE EXACT SAME ONE IN 0-3? ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT I'M DOING WRONG? I DO CROCHET TIGHT SOMETIMES AND WORKING ON LOOSENING UP STITCHES BUT COUNTING?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hmm, I’d double check the size of the yarn and crochet hook you are using. That is a pretty significant shrink. The pattern I have linked to the video tutorial actually breaks down EVERY size beanie from 0-3 month through Adult. It’s a free pattern too! I highly recommend you print that out and use it as a reference along with my video to get the size you want. I hope all this helps and that you are able to make baby their beanie. 😊❤️🧶

[@valeriehartman3705]

The pattern is on Drops Design.

[@jonibates7025]

Wow I totally messed up :( I misread the crochet hook size and I used a 6.5 hook and 5 oz. yard. The stitches are way to far apart and holy. This was going to be for my 6 year old grandson. Obviously I'm a new crocheter. Do you think I can retry with the same 5 oz yard and use a 4.5 or 5 size hook? I love the pattern.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Joni Ok, if you are going to use a different yarn and a different crochet hook then I used in the tutorial you will want to use this beanie sizing chart as a guide and a measuring tape. pin.it/2azc1IF. You will work the top increasing rows until you have reached the desired hat width. Then work as many rows as it takes to get the desired length. Work the ear flaps very similarly as well. I hope this helps. 😊🧡🧶

[@patoakes4272]

I followed this tutorial, but I used a 4.5 /G hook and I only did 13 rounds. It fit my 2 year old great grandson perfectly. When I used the H hook it was big on my 4 year old it was a little big, but he loved it anyway.

[@tinaanderson3218]

What’s the head sizes for toddler and child? I have a 3 1/2 yo grandson I want to make one for but want to make sure it’s not too small. His head circumference is 19.5”

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Tina! I just measured out the two size beanies. The Toddler beanie measures a 20 inch circumference and the Child size beanie measures a 21 inch circumference. And that is not accounting for the amount of give that the beanies have also. So it's completely up to you. I might just go ahead and make the Toddler Size Beanie for him and that should last him about 2 years. Hope this helps! 😊🧶🧡

[@tinaanderson3218]

Hi. I made the toddler size with an H hook and it fits my head. No way will it fit my grandson. Very easy pattern.

[@tinaanderson3218]

What I notice is the only thing different for each size is the row count. Circumference is the same for all sizes which doesn’t make sense since all heads aren’t the same size

[@crab4722]

Can i make this with a number 5 yarn?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Emily and Elliott! You absolutely could make this beanie with a size 5 yarn but you would need to adjust the pattern to accommodate for the larger size yarn. I’m not certain but you could probably get away with using my Toddler size beanie tutorial with the size 5 yarn and it should fit a Child size head. If anything check out the beanie sizing chart I have in my Pinterest board under Charts and use a measuring tape to make sure you make dimension requirements for the beanie. That helps me a lot. 😊❤️🧶

How can you do hat in big yarn

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Leslie! Hmm, you could make this hat using a larger yarn but you will have to make some adjustments. Here is a beanie chart that I recommend you use to help guide you: pin.it/3iuINyY . And a measuring tape so you know when to stop increasing your rows and how long to make the sides. 😊🧡🧶

[@traceyifversen6109]

I saw a chart that said a child's circle should be around 6 inches that was like 3 increase rows ago I am concerned this will be huge on my grandson. I live 8 1/2 hours from him so can't try it on him. Did anyone try it on a size 4 little one?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Tracey! If you are making this beanie for a 4 yr old then they will be right between sizes. The youngest age for the child size beanie. The child size beanie will provide growing room. But you might feel more comfortable making the Toddler size beanie. The tutorial is coming soon for a toddler size 😊.

[@traceyifversen6109]

Great thank you so much.

[@kohsiuying]

It this for baby hat 12~18months?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Sharon! If you are looking to make a beanie for a 12-18 month old I would go with my Toddler size video tutorial. Here is a link for you; kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXyYYoiwfayXl5o 😊❤️🧶

[@donnaserpiello6140]

What age is this child size hat for?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Great question! This size is for child age 4 - 11 years old. The younger the child the looser the beanie, the older the child the more snug the beanie will be. The acrylic yarn used had an amazing comfortable stretch that makes it great for a child who may have a larger or small size head and potential for growing room. 🤗🧡🧶

[@donnaserpiello6140]

I think you did mention that in the beginning of video but I forgot haha

[@donnaserpiello6140]

If I wanted to make this for 2 and 3 year olds what size hook do you recycle? And could I just follow pattern as is with smaller hook or would I need to adjust?

[@nish005]

You seem to have rounding of the cap in the 3rd round itself. I did exactly what you do but do not get rounding in 3rd round. Also the cap is too big ....when I make it.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Nisha! It’s absolutely ok if your circle does not round in row 3. That could be different for everybody. Great to acknowledge! These beanies do run pretty roomy. If you would like to make your beanie a little smaller or tighter you can always omit the last row of increases. Or make the next size down. 😉❤️🧶

[@alexellefson9925]

Not sure why but this beanie turned out huge, way too big for my 5 year olds head but fits me (I have kind of a large head).

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

This beanie does run a little big. It's meant to have a comfortable fit not be a tight fitting skull cap. There are also variables such as the thickness of the yarn you are using and the tension of your stitches that could come into play. If you would like, you can always make the next size down to see if that beanie fits the way you like. 😊❤️🧶

[@viviennedarke3816]

How do I print a pattern

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Vivienne! That is a great question. Normally you would just click on the link below this video and it would take you to the pattern where there is either a PRINT button or you would just go to FILE then push PRINT to print off the whole page. But in this case the page it brought you too was really long and did not have that PRINT button so I found a better link and updated it in the description sections. If you're not sure how to get to the description section under the video let me know so I can help you out with that. To make things easier I will attach a direct link to the pattern and there IS a PRINT button for you to push to print out the pattern I need for you to print out.

[@user-qn9ys1cu9e]

Round 8 I ended up with 62 not 60

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hmmm, Not quite sure. The 2 extra stitches won't hurt anything if you would like to keep moving forward and maybe make 2 extra decreases in the next round to get back on count. Otherwise, maybe try looking back and checking your stitch counts. 🤷🏼‍♀️❤️🧶

Hi Elke. I'm so sorry you find this video to be too fast. It can be difficult accommodating for everyone's speed. But did you know that you can actually control the speed of the video? You can actually make this video go so slow it will look like a snail crawling. I have seen people comment on other channels saying they use this tool and it helps them. I hope it will help you too. When you are watching the video, on the bottom right side of the video if you move your mouse over the video a little gear will show up. Push on the gear, click on Playback Speed, and the smaller the number the slower the video will go. IF you are watching from your phone or tablet you will click on the 3 little dots in the upper right hand corner, click on Playback speed, and again the smaller the number the slower the video. I really hope this helps and that you can have greater success with both my videos and other videos here on KZbin. 😊🧡🧶

[@paigengawhika7971]

Everything was going swell until i got to the 11-15 rows. The first one i got 70 stitches instead of 64 🧌

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hmmm, I've had this happen before myself. Without undoing your work, go back through your rounds and count how many stitches are in each of them. Start with the very first top beginning rounds so you can spot where the count got off and know how far back you have to go. I've actually made the mistake of starting the very first round with an extra stitch and had to go all the way to the beginning to correct it. It happens, at least it's not a super big project. I've found what works best for me to stay on track is to count the number of stitches I have in like round 3 or 4, and then count how many stitches I have in every 3rd round just to double check that I am on track. This helps squash anything that might be a miss before it gets super far in the project. I hope this helps! You got this!!
