What a cute beanie.Thank you for the tutorial.

[@paulpab1]

[@CrochetwithClare]

@pollybardhan Hi, thankyou so much for your wondeerfull comment ! Glad you liked the video :)

[@maratbabe]

this is so cool I love owls can't wait to make this one.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes if you want yours the same size as the one that i have made. I you use worsted weight yarn you may need less increase rounds. The trick that i use is I keep increasing on the rounds until the hat circumference is about 1/2 inch smaller than what i need and then when its the measurement i stop increasing and just make one double crochet into each stitch, hope this helps you

[@CrochetwithClare]

@briannemcmurray if you are on the earflpas you can just do the last dc and then do a chain 1 and pull the yarn though

[@TashaK65]

Thank you so much. Finished my owl beanie or in Hawaiian we say PU E'O. Thanks again. All the way from HAWAII !!! ALOHA

[@CrochetwithClare]

THe reverse has little bumps on it, you can use the regular single crochet if you like

[@shuttermommy]

Oh gosh this is such a great idea I never thought to watch the instructions nice! Thank you so much! Now to find the time :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi there, it may be a little flat but it should curl up a little too use a smaller hook if yours is not curling up

[@CrochetwithClare]

@SugarRokz08 I used a 100gm ball and it is about 300 meters and i used abut 3/4 and then add and ends for the other colurs

[@valkiernan8306]

Oh boy is my baby grand daughter, who is almost 3 is going to love this... Maybe she will keep this hat on her head... lol... that is a huge maybe!!!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

@ifbphotography HI, you will double crochet into the stitch as normal. into the top of the stitch

[@CrochetwithClare]

hi ! If you have 200grams or 7 oz in total that will be plenty, of course you will need the mix of colours to make up the 7ox thank you for watching

[@TheSteven6226]

[@CrochetwithClare]

I used sports weight / double knit/ 8ply yarn and a 4mm crochet hook

[@CrochetwithClare]

@mrsadavidson Yes you got it :) A increase in any pattern/video is 2 stitches in the same stitch, welcome to crochet :)

[@ashleyannedelli]

Best piece of advice I've heard for the beanie and increasing stitches: "If you don't end on an increase, you know you've made a boo-boo."

[@tammaramisty]

SUPER CUTE!!! I use bobbypins for yarn markers, they are easy to place and remove as needed. Especialy when your like me and dont have that extra hand, lol. I get mine at the dollar store, you can get packages of 50-100. Thanks for the vids,keep them coming :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes it may if it is worked a little tight

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes you can use any hat you like :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there, I see you are from the USA, you can use worsted weight yarn and a 5.5mm hook, you will need different amount of rows because the yarn i use in the video is thinner, I have a hat video called 'Hat / Beanie Crochet Tutorial - Almost Invisible seam ' this will show you how to get your hat to fit then you can use the rest of this video for the owl hat

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, hope this helps The mathematical formula for getting circumference if you know the diameter (measurement across hat). You just measure from 1 edge to the other and multiply that number by 3.142 & the answer you get is the measurement of the circumference.

[@maira102876]

I love all of your tutorials! Thank you!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, try using single crochet for the middle of the eye/first row

[@CrochetwithClare]

@TheSpazticLord With lots of practice you will get faster, You can always rewind the video and rewatch it over and over :)

[@samgus810]

Thank you very much. Such an easy video to follow! Love your work.

[@CrochetwithClare]

@BulichkaB Hi, at the very beginning of the video it was a video link that will show you how to custm fit your beanie

[@CrochetwithClare]

@CrazieEvolChick Hi there :) I use the sc chain 1 instead od the chain 3 and it doesnt leace a noticable join, if you find the chain1 to tight do a sc and chain 2

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi ! Thank you for your wonderful comment, I have plenty more idea's for crochet videos :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

I have used Australian 8ply equiv to Dk or sports weight

[@LittleMissElaine]

You make crocheting look so easy

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi :) If you use the video that I mention in the last question that you asked it will help you I use measurements and not counting the stitches...If you are talking about 22 inches, i use 72 stitches with a 4mm hook and 8pl/dk yarn.. BUT i would will use the other video for the measurements as we all have different tension thank you for watching

[@CrochetwithClare]

@jlkraus82 thanks and thanks for watching =)

[@vassia2323]

@bobwilson123 thanks! i have already used the tutorial for the basic beanie... I found it easier for me... i'm almost finished with the owl and I will definitely sennd a pic... ty a lot! xoxo

[@CrochetwithClare]

@veroinuyasha So you mean as your last stitch ?? Check back on your row to make sure you did row 5 correct.. if not check row 4 also

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, Make sure you check that you have 12 stitches and then recheck the next row, you should end with an increase.... if you dont the pattern will be out and you may get a wonky hat :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

YOu do more increase rounds the mathematical formula for getting circumference if you know the diameter (measurement across hat). You just measure from 1 edge to the other and multiply that number by 3.142 & the answer you get is the measurement of the circumference

[@CrochetwithClare]

Your welcome !

[@CrochetwithClare]

15 rows :) I used 8ply/DK yarn

[@CrochetwithClare]

@christa390 I have put the link to the written pattern in the description box

[@CrochetwithClare]

@svalente11 I am so happy to hear that :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi there I used a 4mm hook and 8ply/DK/sports weight yarn if your yarn is worsted weight and you followed this pattern it will be hug ans the yarn is thicker If you search for a video of mine called Hat / Beanie Crochet Tutorial - Almost Invisible seam ... you will be shown how to measure a hat to make it for certain sizes

[@CrochetwithClare]

@maratbabe thanks for watching !

[@BrandieB71]

@bobwilson123 I just found out what I was doing wrong. I missed a roll I did not do the double in each on the 2 roll. So now I can start my hat thanks so much

[@vassia2323]

[@CrochetwithClare]

hi there I am not sure how to make the mermaid tail/cocoon, i think it uses crocodile stitch and a long narrow hat shape

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, after you have increased for the crown of the hat and you get the circumference that you need, There will be no more increasing

[@rinirino]

this is way too cute. i think i'll make one for the winter. =D

[@areizaganim]

@vassia2323 Bugger ! Try again and let me know if you get stuck :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

@Ann21yosh20 If you look in the description box below the video you will see a link to the pattern :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

I made it for a 2 year old But you can use this to make it any size The mathematical formula for getting circumference if you know the diameter (measurement across hat). You just measure from 1 edge to the other and multiply that number by 3.142 & the answer you get is the measurement of the circumference.

[@CrochetwithClare]

@61mikid I have a heap of character hats coming up :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

I have added a link to the more info box under the video for hat sizes :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there I am not sure ow to make a spiderman list, I will add to my list of ideas

[@CrochetwithClare]

@vassia2323 I have another video on how to make a hat .. Search for Crochet a Basic Crown for a Beanie / hat Tutorial and that will be a differernt way to make a hat :)

[@DRAWesomeGurl999]

Love your tutorials! And your accent!! :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

@11AwkwardTurtle 8ply yarn and a 4mm hook :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

So for example if the head measurement is 21 inches you need to increase until the circumference/outside edge measurement is 20 inches. When you have the desired measurement you STOP increasing and continue on with 1 stitch in each stitch

[@powerfullife784]

i have made this cap beautiful thankyou for sharing this video

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, I am not sure what size your hat turned out, but 58 - 60 cm would be classed as large...any thing over 56-57 cm would fit an adult Bevs country cottage webiste has a great sizing chart

[@guboka87]

I've just finished my owl beanie today, I sent you a pic, in email :) i'm in love with it :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi , are you talking about the seam on the hat ?

[@CrochetwithClare]

is size 4 worsted? Im not sure because we have different yarn in Australia. If its worsted 4ply and 5.5mm hook.how to get the correct size When making a beanie/hat you need to keep increasing until the circumference/outside edge measurement is 1 inch smaller than the head that you are making it for (making a bit smaller allows for stretch)

[@CrochetwithClare]

@LizRocks2323 HI, Did you start witht he 12 stitches ? Are you using the correct hook that is recomended by your yarn ?

[@CrochetwithClare]

@mon00707 OH !!!!! the link didnt work ..ill add it now :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

It may do that for about 3 rows, but it should stop, what yarn and what size hook are you using ?

[@jlkraus82]

Thank you for posting this!! You have really good videos, very easy to follow for beginners like myself. Oh, and I love your accent ;-)

[@CrochetwithClare]

I am using 8ply and that is the same thickness as double knit yarn. I have a video that is called Hat / Beanie Crochet Tutorial - Almost Invisible seam This video will show you how to measure a hat to get the size you require

[@CrochetwithClare]

@kmbyrne27 nope they are metal :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@CrochetwithClare]

@litty0111976 are you doing the decrease rounds correctly?

[@CrochetwithClare]

@mwaldenville The seams is a bugger ! Sometimes no matter what you do it will be crooked :(

[@CrochetwithClare]

I have it on my to do list :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, you may need to use a smaller hook :)
