How to Crochet a Brim/Peak onto a Beanie

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes, it is suggested to use 2 strands to make the brim stiffer and not floppy.

[@DebHughes63]

Thanks so much for suggesting the beginning row of the brim to increase every other stitch instead of every stitch. I had followed this pattern and ended up with wavy brims every time...Now I just finished one and it is perfect! Thanks for your videos!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yup they are i just checked :) thanks for watching and supporting me :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Awesome ! You are very welcome :) Thank you for watching

[@4tdy]

Clare! Once again YOU ARE AWESOME! I bought a pattern on etsy, and the brim was aweful! Yours works! If it helps anyone, I used some fabric stiffener on the brim, helped keep its shape a little! Yay!

[@lindah8343]

Thank you so very much for being a super great teacher! Your teaching aporch is so very balanced to enjoy learning! Not to fast and not to slow! It's just perfect! Big hugs of thanks!

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@marymickelsen3378]

Thank you for this great video! I don't know how to crochet, but I learned from just watching you! I successfully put an awesome brim on my knitted beanie. :-)

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI yes, thank you for your question I have a link under the video to mu website where you will find all my video and written patters :) Have fun looking

[@downsizingontenacres.5927]

Really cute brim! I used Red Heart Super Saver and with two strands it was really curly. Took it down to one strand and it was perfect. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Downsizing on Ten Acres. thank you so much for watching my video, happy crochet! Thank you for the feedback on the yarn For future reference here is a better video tutorial for the brim kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJqxXoqGiq2Gn7c

[@susanwagner1745]

I love Clare's work! I have made lots of hats but the ones with brims sell the best! I plan to support her on Patreon!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you so much Susan ! Here is a better brim video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJqxXoqGiq2Gn7c

[@CrochetwithClare]

@1stblkbarbie You can add this brim to any beanie even if it has been finished off... Just attach both strands of yarn and continue with brim

[@KydzLydz]

help desk here..making the brim is the hardest part and just takes some getting used to ..don't give up :)

[@mooluvr1030]

Thanks Clare, wanted a brim for a puffed stitched beanie I made, came out perfect :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi there ! I feel your frustration :) When your hat goes wavy it means you have to many stitches, on your first row of your brim, for example, if you did your increases in every2nd stitch, spread it out to every 3rd stich :) and then do you next row as the video shows you and then do every third stich for the next row and so on hope this helps you

[@CrochetwithClare]

@NicJam1122 Hi there sorry for the slow responce, I used the eyelet beanie video for the hat part

[@CrochetwithClare]

@babylove030405 thanks for watching !!!

[@debbiemeadors8568]

thanks so much for doing the brim video,sure is nice to know that it can be added to any beanie,have made many of your patterns and love them all !! keep up the good work !!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

this is a better video for you to follow :) Hat Brim / Peak Crochet Tutorial

[@debbiemeadors8568]

thanks,so much the video did make it clearer,you are my new bf,thanks for the reply

[@michellemadding8324]

I am really sorry that most people dont read the titles of the videos. You have plenty of them for hats, just pick one. I Love All Your Videos and have made many. If it is to fast pause it and catch up. Really love your channel.

[@CrochetwithClare]

:) thank you for watching

[@CrochetwithClare]

Option 2 - On the first row of the brim instead of doing 2 stitches in each stitch, do 2 stitches in every 3rd, for example- Row 1: 1 stitch in each of the next 2 stitches, 2 stitches in the next stitch, 1 stitch in each of the next 2 stitches, 2 stitches in the next stitch. Continue like this across the row. Row 2 : 1 stitch in each stitch across. Row 3: repeat row 1. Row 4: repeat row 2. I hope this helps :)

[@bml128]

Thank you! I am thrilled with my brim. Great instructions - very clear.

[@CrochetwithClare]

@curiousnurse hi, You can try using a smaller hook, or if this doesnt work on the first row when er do 2xsc in each stitch, do the 2xsc in every other stitch...hope this helps, good luck !

[@ashleycrossland3320]

great, simple, effective! thank you...now I can make my beanies more versatile :)

[@seizingthisday]

wow, brims are harder than they look! mine keeps going wavy arghhh. don't worry I won't give up. I'm determined to get this brim on the hat. Thank you for the great tutorial.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Great Video as always!

[@CrochetwithClare]

I am guessing you are talking about the brim, I would use 1 strand and use a smaller hook to get the stitches tight

[@CrochetwithClare]

You can use it from the same ball or you can use a new ball of the same colour

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi there, If you search for 'eyelet beanie" that is the video that i used for the hat :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

If you watch the video at 1.59 in the video it will show you how to adjust it so it isnt wavy :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, Great question, you will just do no increasing and just the stitch

[@CrochetwithClare]

hi, You will count the 2 strands as 1

[@CrochetwithClare]

@MissBlister I would say so just as long as you use a small hook to get tigth stitches

[@CrochetwithClare]

@roselynann11 Hi, what did you do on the first row of the brim ? DId you do a increase in each stitch ? I have a note there when you do that row that says if it is wavy / curly do a increase in every second or third stitch on the first row and this should stop the wavy/curly effect. Hope this helps and thanks for being honest

[@53midnightblues]

Been looking for a cute hat with a visor really like your patterns thank going to make for my niece so thanks you

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi I get my hooks all over the internet, I got this one from Cassi is Crafty on facebook

[@katrinalynn1981]

It took me 4 attempts, of crocheting the brim, it being wavy & unraveling it (that's the most fun and dissatisfying thing to do ever! Lol) but I did it! :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

If brim is wavy, caused by too many stitches.In my video it says at the beginning that it may need adjusting. So you have 2 options,Option 1- Cry

[@mjperfume1523]

I didn't know if the video stopped or if you had completed doing the brim or not. I thought that u would have held up the finished brim so that we could see it. The brim looks great on the beanie!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi there,Sorry but i have no left handed tutorials and I do not have the software to reverse the video :(

[@cbeyer23]

I made this with caron simply soft yarn and i found i had to make the first row increase every third to keep it from being wavy.

[@CrochetwithClare]

The yarn will twist around each other if you are using 2 strands, this is very normal :) I have a different video called Jacobs ladder and it has a better brim video

[@stephanierose9452]

Absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you. 💜

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you! I am happy you like it.

[@ilovstodance]

nice close up view know i will be able to do my next brim much better thks clara

[@POVo1970]

Enjoyed your video

[@dellades]

Absolutely cool.

[@CrochetwithClare]

@nimagregor24 Hi, Are you using 2 strands of yarn? It need to be thick to stick out. Also using a heaps smaller hook that you should be. So do you mean that it is floppy ? Have you tried the hat on ? I have to tweak the pattern sometimes to make it WORK for each hat. Sorry it took me so long to reply. If you have FaceBook that is a quicker way to get an answer :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

I would add them as you did the previous rows :)

[@MaMaduKeS2190]

I had a hard time getting the brim to look right. It was coming out way too big and way too floppy so instead of two yarns I used only one and did basically the same pattern but used 3 rows of half double crochets. It came out much better!

[@CrochetwithClare]

hi, this hat took me about 2 hours, it would take a beginner about 4 hours

[@auntbea285]

I am having trouble following and remembering your video about how to crochet a brim. Do you have a printable pattern to post with the video so I can print it to follow along and learn to do this brim?

[@angellwall]

Very nice work! Congratulations!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you for watching, happy crochet !

[@MissBlister]

Can this brim work if you have a thinner, softer yarn?

[@Jin04115]

I'm working with bulky yarn. increasing the brim made it come out wonky,. but the pattern is great. I will just frog and redo that row.

[@jhartke0708]

Thank You!!! I've been wanting instructions for this!

[@mechiclark7685]

Thank you very much. You are easy to follow.

[@auntbea285]

Hi again, I found a pattern on craftsy.com but it was not this pattern. I sat and wrote down everything you said to do here so I have the pattern now. My question now is what to do if I want one or two more rows on the brim?

[@nybsbfan18]

Looks nice when done. Thanks!

[@chonk_fox89]

I've never heard crochet pronounced in such a unique and unusual way!

[@CrochetwithClare]

yes, lol! these were the beginner days when I pronounced it the way I learned it.

[@1stblkbarbie]

I'm new at this i did do a beanie but now i need to know how to add a brim. I notice your yarn was still attached in the front. When i finished my beanie for it to be even rows i end in the back where i do a slip stitch. Sohow can i add the brim if i cut off the yarn. Basically adding a brim to a beanie that is already done.

[@salsafan21]

do u hav to put the 2nd yarn in?

[@amandalblair]

Love your videos. You are very helpful. I've been crocheting for a couoke years but still learning and watching your videos have helped so much. I was wondering if yoh have a tatorial for a shrek beanie.

[@reneemottoh239]

Thank you! My brim turned out great! ;-)

[@1cyclegal]

Thank you so much for this video. The beanie I made was using chunky yarn. Do I still use to pieces of yarn? Your fingerless gloves video is wonderful as well. Thanks again

[@lilmissmabthealien]

The pattern seems easy enough, thank you for sharing :) but I don't understand how you attach the second strand? Is it from the same ball of yarn?

[@felixpuncrocoi]

just what i was looking for!

[@mjperfume1523]

Another problem that I had was that the yarn kept twisting and made it difficult to crochet with it doing that. The beanie I made was the one with the mannequin wearing the beanie and I used 4 ply yarn. I used a 4 mm size hook.

[@CrochetwithClare]

@steamriceroll I have a tutorial for this beanie, it is called the eyelet beanie :O)

[@TheNecie9]

Hi Bob, I love your tutorials...Is this tutorial in a left-handed version? I tried to follow the RH version, but it gets to be a little confusing. :) THANK~YOU

[@TheMrsladybug]

yes, you do need that second thread to make the brim a little more stiffer, cause I didn't and it was flopy, lol :)

[@curiousnurse]

My brim keeps ruffling up. I'm not sure what I"m doing wrong. I've got a medium sized baby beanie and attached the brim just as you did.. why is it crunching up like that?

[@monkeymaildog]

What beanie did you use for this brim?

[@annalexx]

Thank you! My brim looks great ;-)

[@phinskatya]

I love your videos. I have made a few of your hats...............and they fit YES....But I am having trouble with the brim...........they keep getting wavy...........any Help?

[@reneemottoh239]

Jenni I had the same problem, but I found out I was crocheting too tight. I loosened it up and used a bigger hook. Hope this helps :-)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Renee Mottoh this is a better video for you to follow :) Hat Brim / Peak Crochet Tutorial

[@cvoisineaddis]

This is a nice video/method. However, It's a little hard for me to follow, due to my not usually counting stitches, and not really knowing all the terms. Plus, all the guides I can't due anything with because of the terminology. Do you know of any visual chart that has a brim on it?

[@Josalynhall084]

My peak is coming out wavy what can I do. Please help.

[@mjperfume1523]

I can't get my brim to have the shape and curve that yours has. What I doing wrong ? I've watched your video many many times and can't get the shape that u have. I even went down on the size of the hook! I found it difficult to work with 2 strands of yarn to, mine kept having 4 stitches on the hook and made it difficult to crochet with 4 stitches.

[@lilcrocheter27]

What pattern did you use for this hat. did u just skip one stitch? If you used a pattern can you link it to me

[@1cjl2]

I only have 1 skein of yarn and can't get a second. Can I do this without doubling?

[@CrochetwithClare]

yes, you can make a brim with a single strand. it would just be very thin and may not be as stiff as doubling. just use a smaller hook and use single crochets to make it.

[@1cjl2]

@@CrochetwithClare thank you!

[@NicJam1122]

What size needle did you use to make this hat. It does not look like the hat you made in your example of how to make a basic beanie. Did you follow the same pattern as you did in the basic beanie (i.e. the half double crochet pattern)?? PLEASE!!!!!!!! give the instructions you used to make the hat you are sewing the brim on in this video. I love it!!!!!!

[@vardarose9176]

Hi Bob, Love your tutorials too! do you have a website or written tutorials? would be easier to come back to than follow my notes while I am following what I see... Thanks so much! Varda

[@CrochetwithClare]

thanks :) Its the was us Aussies say it... in my recent vids i say it the other way :)

[@RaspberryRenegade]

I know I'm 6 years too late but I love the way you Aussies pronounce "crochet". It sounds happier than my American accent.

[@biomedlib]

Hi Clare...when you arrive at the st marker, do you crochet into that st?

Yes :) This is a better video :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJqxXoqGiq2Gn7c

[@CrochetwithClare]

you can add this bill to just about any hat that it will fit on

omy goodness what part of the beanie do I attach the yarn??

[@CrochetwithClare]

The last round :)

[@mariamiri0014]

bobwilson123

[@pepsiflavouredcoke]

so I've been working with this idea, following it the way you describe, and the brim ends up rippling a lot. what helped in my case was making the first row of the brim crocheted into the next row rather than the row below as well as only increasing every other stitch instead of every stitch in the first row.

[@CrochetwithClare]

this is a better video for you to follow :) Hat Brim / Peak Crochet Tutorial

[@pepsiflavouredcoke]

oooh thank you!

[@tamarahill3489]

What side hook is that you are using

[@CrochetwithClare]

you use whatever size hook your yarn calls for or one size smaller

[@steamriceroll]

Can you do a video to show how to crochet this beanie ?? I am a beginner.

you are an amazing teacher:->

[@TheMarzbar67]

how do i crochet a brim with the elastic in it?

[@CrochetwithClare]

if you want elastic in your brim than you can just lay it over the second to last round and crochet it into the last round covering the elastic as you crochet.

[@TheMarzbar67]

got ya. thanks. ;p)

[@SharoninKentucky]

This video seems to start a the end. So I just go to the beginning when the video is done and see what the brim should look like. No problem.

[@mecca115able]

I like to have pattern for Easter bunny written.

[@ayshahani2306]

Mine brim is getting curly. Y it is?? Can you reply plzz

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Aysha, if your brim getting curly, you could be adding too many stitches or you could be using the wrong hook size. Depending on how many brim rows you make, you could also be making too many rows for your hat.

[@PadHopper]

This is such a pretty hat. Subscribe to Claire's ( yes her name is Claire, the channel is named after her dog Bob, not herself) channel everyone, she is a great instructor. And and also too, her accent is cute.

[@ladyerica88]

+bobwilson123 thats not a better video. when you get to the end of the second row its not clear what your doing, and the skip one at the beginning doesn't make scence either :(

[@CrochetwithClare]

+Erica Tatom Hello, you skip one at the beginning so that your brim is angled instead of straight out from the hat

[@braap_biglunch]

hello where do I buy the brims to make the hats?

[@CrochetwithClare]

hello, i do not buy the brims. you crochet the brims onto the hat after the hat is finished. this is a video for making brims kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJqxXoqGiq2Gn7c
