Love, love the hat 💕 Can't wait to start. In the beginning you said the yarn weight is 2, can I use any size yarn for the hat? Thanks

[@VesaAndVlera]

Of course you can use any yarn size!

[@ashleyut20]

Love it, just made myself one, now my kids want one too lol . Do you have a pattern for one a bit smaller?

[@0O0oO0oO1]

I haven’t made this yet, but my guess is that you can do less increases on the top of the hat!

[@VesaAndVlera]

Hi! Not yet but i'd love to make it! If you want to make it before the tutorial, just make 5-6 rows of increase instead of 7 :)

Love your tutorial. Beautiful hat. If I use a size 3mm yarn, what number crochet hook should I use? Thanks

[@VesaAndVlera]

4mm hook is recommended for size 3 yarn :)

[@girigiriboy0124]

Great tutorial! Can i use a 5 ply yarn instead? Its the only available yarn i have rn

[@VesaAndVlera]

thank you! Yes of course. Just make sure to try on the hat as you go, so you can make changes if needed!

[@murielfields7445]

What brand of yarn are you using? What wosted weight is it? Thanks 😊

[@VesaAndVlera]

Hi, one of the colors is Mimoza gold yarn, and the other is Tunç favori yarn. I think they're both from Turkey. They're a medium size (size 4, in the video I said size 2 but I was wrong, because in the yarn label it didn't tell. I did my research afterwards)

[@murielfields7445]

@@VesaAndVlera ok. Thank you 😊

[@murielfields7445]

Hello, Is your tension tight or loose? What size hat are you making? S,M or Large? What size crochet needed for a larger male head?Thank you

[@VesaAndVlera]

@@murielfields7445 hello, my tension is more on the tighter side. I made this hat for every customer male or female adult and it fit them all, so it was a standard size fits all, but if you want it bigger you can just add another increase row before starting the no-increase rows ❤️

[@murielfields7445]

Ok. Thanks 😊

[@murielfields7445]

After doing the the FLO for the brim. How many rows after to make the brim? If its not long enough for my head. Do I continue making additional rows. Or is my tension to tight?

[@VesaAndVlera]

@@murielfields7445 I only make 3 increase rows for the brim after the FLO. But of course, you can add more (I've had customers ask that and it turned out just as pretty). Just add one more stitch to each color 😊

[@murielfields7445]

Ok. Thanks

[@byshiiho]

Amazing tutorial

[@VesaAndVlera]

Thank you, i'm glad you love it 💖

[@tamlatmos]

Thank you for sharing this video. Did you use size 4 yarn?

[@VesaAndVlera]

Hi, thank you for watching! It doesn't tell in the labels but I'm guessing it's a size 4. I've also used two strands of size 1 and it works the same. :)

[@LindaTurner-oe9zw]

Is it possible to order the written insructioms for the granny square bucket hat...thank you...

[@VesaAndVlera]

Which granny square bucket hat, can you specify? 😊

[@MamyMoseki]

My problem is sleep stretch but I will keep on trying

[@VesaAndVlera]

[@minhthutrinhvu1799]

Thank you so much for your dedicated tutorial

[@VesaAndVlera]

Yes just add more rows (don't forget to increase in the last stitch) to match the measurement ❤️ that's what i do with every project

[@philippanuda]

Amazing and very helpful tutorial! I just wanted to ask if it fits all head sizes? I'm currently on row 10, the third row of no increases, and I dunno if it will fit my head once it's finished.

[@VesaAndVlera]

If the top part (the first 7 rows) is about 7 inches in diameter, you're good! Since i sell these, i've tried it with all my (adult) female and male customers, and they all fit. Thank you for the good words 💗

[@anaiahk4507]

Do u think i can make this hat without the checkered i just like the shape😢

[@VesaAndVlera]

Oh absolutely! I've done that!

[@eragalica13]

Please make more bucket hats

[@VesaAndVlera]

I will! 😊

[@AnaLizaDipasupil]

is this 4ply or 5ply?

[@GiftAmarachi-u7p]

hello,for someone who has a big head should still keep on crocheting it right?

[@VesaAndVlera]

Try making one more increasing row in the beginning, it should fit!

[@GiftAmarachi-u7p]

How would that be please?

[@GiftAmarachi-u7p]

Cause I’m already in 4th row🥺

[@VesaAndVlera]

@@GiftAmarachi-u7p instead of making 7 rows of increase in the beginning, make 8 of them. So in the 8th row, double crochet in each stitch of one color and increase in the last (just like you were doing in the rows before). Then from row 9 crochet regularly like in the video. I hope this helps ❤️

[@Hend76370]

So it's three rows for each colour?

[@VesaAndVlera]

yes, except in the beginning where it's 2 rows per color

[@Hend76370]

@@VesaAndVlera thanks

[@nghiemhanh9711]

Just tighten your tension and it'll be good even in cotton!!

[@ranpoedogawa43]

Hi, I have a question. What yarn brand did you use? Thanks!❤

[@VesaAndVlera]

In this tutorial I used two yarns from Turkey that i never really use, usually for these bucket hats I use yarnart super perlee 🫶🏻

[@ranpoedogawa43]

@@VesaAndVlera thank you 😊

[@JulieLevy-ch9og]

Hey! I like how the squares are actual squares here. When I make it, they're like tilted diagonally. Do you have any idea why that happens?

[@VesaAndVlera]

That can happen if you don't count the first chain 2 as a double crochet. It can also depend on the first stitch and where you place it. Make sure to follow the tutorial exactly so it turns out the same way 🤗

[@reiyaleen2981]

Hello 👋 i just want to ask, how many grams of the yarn you use in the overall process? and the yarn look kind of thin, is it 4 ply yarn? anyway thanks for the tutorials 😊

[@VesaAndVlera]

i used about 50 grams of each. Yes it's 4ply yarn :) thank you!

[@joanndowns5914]

Where can I buy the yarn you are using for these hats?

[@VesaAndVlera]

I buy them at a local store but i think you can buy them online too, just search their names :)

[@murielfields7445]

I followed this pattern with her. The finished length of my hat is shorter on my head. I don't understand why?

[@VesaAndVlera]

It might be your hook size, yarn size or tension

[@Hend76370]

When I can start doing the brim of the hat 🌞?

[@VesaAndVlera]

In the front loop only row, that's when the brim starts

[@Hend76370]

I see a lot of comments saying their hat came out nice. Did anyone come out short?

[@VesaAndVlera]

@@murielfields7445 hi there! If your hat came out short just add more rows before the front-loop-only row 🩷 it happens if your tension is tighter than mine ☺️

This is confusing. If the ch 3 counts as a DC, why is it that a DC on the round requiring 2DCs in every stitch not made in the ch 3 stitch but in the next stitch?

because then one stitch would be left out and it would create a hole. It just looks better if we use that stitch next to the chain 3 :)
