How To Crochet: Quick and Easy Bottom Up Beanie

[@carolineproctor1894]

I watched this video and loved the pattern! So I went out and bought the right yarn and knocked it out in 4 hours!!! I LOVE this hat! Thank you so much for the tutorial!

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

Awe! I love this comment!!! 💓

How much yarn did you use?

[@letsbehonst8611]

You are the first person I have seen hold there working yarn with the same hand as your hook.

she is likely a knitter.

Oh my gosh you're right! I didn't even notice until you said though lol

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

This is AWESOME!!! I'm a newbie crocheter & finished this hat in 1 1/2hrs!!!! I made it much bigger for my Hubby. I would call my hat a size XXL. (For those that want to know....for the band I made 28 rows (24 inches). I repeated the rows up until it measured 9 inches (with the band folded over). I used a generic roving type yarn that I found at Dollarama (in Canada) for $2/each. I used both balls including making the pom-pom) The yarn label says - Knit It - Cable Knitting Yarn, 87y-80m-100g. 100% Polyester but feels like it contains wool. Thank you for sharing this pattern with us all xx It was easy for me to modify this for my needs (which is difficult when I don't really know what I'm doing, lol!) xx

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

I LOVE that you were able to make so many modifications as a new crocheted! That’s what it’s all about! Thanks for sharing about your hat!!

[@marcelolujaniii8350]

Wow. I love how you break down where anyone can understand the pattern thanks and keep them vids coming.

[@charpow2003]

Fantastic tutorial and easy pattern,,, thanks for sharing

[@thisisme2983]

Thank you so much for sharing!! This was such a quick n easy video to follow. I was able to make 2 of these hats in one day for a outside event tomorrow!!! Thanks again

[@burchillct]

Lori, you've done a fantastic job on this video! Our knit and crochet group makes hats, scarves, and gloves to donate to the Boys and Girls Club in Long Island, NY and this hat is a quick and easy hat to make that looks great. Thank you so much!!!

[@quietsparkk]

Lori, thanks so much for this tutorial. It was seriously easy to understand and it makes a super cute hat!

[@graceharrelson9430]

Thank you for posting this, it’s my new favorite hat pattern and I’m so in love with the new braided stitch I learned!! 😃 I’ve already made 2 hats this was so helpful and quick!

[@luwandaartrelle4250]

I made this hat. I added some rows so it can be slouchy. I doubled up 2 strands of 4 weight yarn, used a size M hook, and it came out very nice. I made my own variegated yarn. Lol. I'm happy with it.

[@fabioladelarosa659]

I’m so in love with this pattern and beanie 😍 I made one for my daughter you made it so easy thank you ❤️

[@latoyablackmon3587]

Thank you for this tutorial, it was quick and cute and I was able to complete it with less than one skein of cozy wool loops and threads super bulky yarn!

Very well done video and thank you so much

[@gobabe2396]

Very nice. Thanks. So 24 rows is 36 st. Ok what about 26. 28. I’m not sure. Is there a pattern.

[@susanafreire4444]

I have a size 7 skein, would it still work as well?!

[@james127bella]

Which type and color of Lionbrand Thick & Quick did you use? Was it the "wool-ease" one? Also, could you link to the pom you used? I've had a tricky time on Amazon finding nice ones...

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

It was the wool-ease thick and quick yes! And I believe I used barley for this pattern, but the color oatmeal is very similar! I also made the Pom Pom myself with fabric I got from Jo-Ann fabrics! You can find a tutorial to make your own on my channel!

[@james127bella]

@@LunarKnitsbyLori Perfect, thank you so much!

[@Misslele1123]

This is nice thanks for the sharing ❤️

[@chrissyfrank6460]

I really like this pattern, the only issue I have is there is a big line up the back, so perhaps I am not joining the rounds correctly. I will try again to do it better. The hat is easy to make, you did a great job on the video. Thanks.

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

There will be a bit of a line! But if you make your chains at the beginning of each round tightly that should help. OR if you want to do it without joining in the round, you could use a stitch marker to make the beginning of your round and work the pattern without joining.

[@Ktr731]

I love the hat but I am out of. Super bulky yarn. Can I use red heart super saver yarn?

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

Sure! I would hold it double stranded if you want the bulky. You could also make it with one strand and a smaller hook. Just measure around your head to find the perfect size!

[@Ktr731]

Lunar Knits by Lori thank you.

[@luwandaartrelle4250]

I always double up my 4 ply yarn and use an L or M hook. It comes out great. I always have people asking me to make them a hat.

[@benkling54]

This was so helpful thank you so much 😀

[@creativemommy2269]

What size hook is that

[@cvholm5904]

plz advice... you said it doesn’t matter what multiples we use but then you said when you’re doing that first row around the brim to make sure it’s an even number?

[@randiling3923]

I’m having a bit of trouble trying to figure out which loop to slip stitch into to connect my rounds

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

It will be the top of the half double crochet. So find your chain 1, then slip stitch into the next to join your round.

[@mariemanning1601]

Thats what i ws doing but each row kept decreasing

[@msjennable]

Great job!

[@aimeelaliberte170]

Hello! Is there a child size pattern for this?

[@lynngari]

loved your hat video!!! where do i find the description box???

[@darlenejordan5777]

How much yarn? How many yards of yarn is required?

[@juliapadilla4064]

Darlene Jordan did you end up making it? I’m wondering the same thing.

[@darlenejordan5777]

Julia Padilla No, I sure didn’t. I need more information on what materials are needed

[@carolineproctor1894]

I Personally used about 100 -ish yards :)

[@shannone1471]

What crochet hook are you using? I need thicker ones like that!

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

These are from hobby lobby! They are my absolute favorite, and there really affordable (don’t forget your coupon! 😉)! I believe the have flowered on the side now, the ones with the triangle design are really old! 😅

[@reduxrouge]

Lunar Knits by Lori What brand are they, do you know? I don’t shop at Hobby Lobby but really love this design. Hoping I can find it somewhere else. Thx!!

[@patti4success]

Can I use a 9mm hook? I dont have a 10.

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

You may have to adjust your hat size a little based on the gauge. Just try it on as you go!

[@patti4success]

@@LunarKnitsbyLori Thank you

[@hopefakelastname3653]

How many rows

[@mariemanning1601]

Every row i did it kept decreasing. Do i ip stitch on the chain 1?

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

Yes! The chain does not count as a stitch so be sure you’re placing a stitch in that same place at the beginning of each round! Hopefully this will help fix your problem!

[@mariemanning1601]

@@LunarKnitsbyLori thank you ! So i place a stitch on the same stitch from the chain 1?

[@sarahrice1258]

Hello, I was wondering, on the crochet hook size, would this be an N or a P size hook?

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

This is a size N - 10mm hook (I have the same crochet hook that she is using :)

[@cutecupcake5829]

how much yarn does this take

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

Roughly 87 yards!

[@cutecupcake5829]

@@LunarKnitsbyLori i only have about 64yards so sadly i cannot make this lovely pattern i will get more yarn hopefully soon:( :)

[@Sassycsi]

I was doing good until you instructed us to flip the top V and go into the back loop I do not have back loop what did I do wrong?

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

Are you sure you’re making a HDC? Half double crochets should always have 3 loops.

[@letsbehonst8611]

They way you yarn over reminds me of watching someone knit.

[@twentyfivehourpharmacy6348]

It’s September! Finally hat weather for me up north here. I’ve never seen someone put their working yarn in the same hand as the hook. Have you always done this as someone who usually crochets, or are you a knitter? Just curious lol

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

I actually started crocheting about 4 years before I learned to knit! The video tutorial I used at the time to learn, that’s how she held her hook and yarn! 😂 I had no idea it was weird until I started posting videos. I hope you enjoy this pattern!

[@sarahsalazar9037]

Has anyone used this pattern and left the top open for a pony tail? Or is the hat itself to long ?

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

You could definitely make it one! Instead of cinching the top, you will want to do a decrease round and then the next round place 1 stitch in every stitch. If you want the hole to be smaller go ahead and do another decrease round! You can always try it on after each round until you have the fit you like.

[@melaneylassen48]

Is this hat supposed to get smaller after each row or am I doing something wrong?! Thanks!

[@ashleymclauchlinrnle1309]

Right?! I’m having the same issue...

[@mixedchick105]

Same here...

[@Shaki611]

It looks cozy and warm. Just a shame the dark colour doesn't allow to see more the work or certain stitches. But i liked your video

[@Defined4hispurpose]

How can I make this a messy bun?

[@carolineproctor1894]

My suggestion would be when you're reducing the hat, just go probably keep going untill Its a hair sized hole! 😉

[@somebodiesma]

The beginning stitches on chain look like a double crochet not a half double crochet.

[@Grizzlybear50]

Can we get written pattern. Plz

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

You can find it in my blog which is linked in the description box.

[@randiling3923]

If I wanted to make this into a “slouching beanie” could I just add more full rows before I start to decrease?

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

Correct! You may even choose to add a couple stitches to your starting chain to help the slouch.

[@99cpineapples17]

I love this hat and have made a couple so far. But I do not think u are using the correct terminology for "back loop only". Your stitch looks very similar to the "around back post" , but I am not familiar with a name for what u are doing, which may confuse new ones.

[@99cpineapples17]

The stitch is called hdc third loop only....lots of help on youtube

[@kodaxrose50]

Thank you

[@corinnelane5611]

Does anyone else get a really weird/crooked seam on the back of this hat? Or is it just me lol

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

Make sure when you join, you join to the beginning stitch and not the chain. And place your first stitch of the next round in the same stitch as your chain. This should prevent a crooked seam.

[@corinnelane5611]

Perfect. Thanks so much!

[@sherristeuber6790]

Unfortunately the video shows a very crooked and obvious seam too. I don't have such an awful looking seam but I am doing it in black.

[@aimeelaliberte170]

I know this was a while ago but try a seamless join. I hope you figured it out! I ended up with the same thing but a beautiful hat!! My brim was also a little looser in the beginning which made it a bit wider on one side.

[@Yeep_Gt]

@@LunarKnitsbyLori are you supposed to join in the back loop? Or do you join in the regular first stitch then hdc in back loop of the same stitch?

[@cAlLiEkAy99]

I know it gets annoying going slow when you're showing how to do something, but you went way too fast and I couldn't figure out how you were doing stuff most of the time.

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

Sorry! These videos aren’t really to show how to crochet or do certain stitches. They are more to explain the pattern visually. You can always find the written pattern on my blog.

[@robelder102]

Just adjust the video settings to slow it down

[@nyakinyua8813]

Too fast
