Very timely, just working on hats for a local coat/hat drive! i was following your Absolute Beginners Child Size Basic Beanie when I was notified of this new video! for the toddler size :-) Thanks so much!

[@MaryJCrisp]

Thank you for posting this instruction video. It was very easy to follow. Very clear!

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Thanks Mary! I’m so glad the video was easy to follow. Thank you so much for watching. 😊❤️🧶

[@saskiaboudreaux1694]

Thank you Tiffany 😊 you are awesome in showing on how to make a earflap hat. My granddaughter is 2 1/2. And is aesthetic about me making her a Frosty the snowman hat. But I’m a knitter not much in chrochet. But I’m going to give this a try.

[@sarahmurphy1802]

I in joy making this hat Sarah.

[@michellelangdon5134]

I love the ear flaps! It's so hard to keep the little kids ears covered!

[@shirleyspring4905]

What a cute little hat!

[@ShielaSoares]

Hi Tiffany... A little while ago I was browsing through my KZbin feed, when your video caught my attention. I really enjoyed it and I browsed really quickly through your channel...have not watched any of the other videos yet, but I definitely will. Needless to say I have subscribed and hit the notification bell. Looking forward to your next video!

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Shiela! Welcome to my channel! I am so glad you found me! I'm looking forward to you watching more of my videos and crocheting with me. Let me know if an questions come up. 😊🧡🧶

[@johannepalermo3871]

Thanks for the pattern. Love it. I like your tattoo.

[@platinumdiva75]

Awesome tutorial! TFS! 🤩🤩🤩

[@roseannetracy9990]

I want to make this with Pom pom and strings to be attached ❤❤❤❤❤

[@nancyyankura5213]

Hi Tiffany, I love your beanie pattern, however I wish you would show us your measurements before you start the project... mine was too big for a toddler, I did what you mentioned below , to skip a decrease row, I will try that and use this one for a 5 or 6 year old.

[@vanetzamenjivar204]

I really love the hat is so awesome 😍 thank you

[@katanehh]

Thank you for this tutorial I made this hat but the size is big for children I don’t know how to make smaller size

[@luvlecavalier]

I love this tutorial. You're such a great teacher.. so easy to understand. Please make more hat videos 😃. Just one question though.. it's a bit too big for my 14 month old. Would you recommend any way on how to make it a little smaller? Please and thank you

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Luvvinny! I am so glad you enjoy my hat tutorials! Yes! I can help make the beanie a little smaller. Just eliminate the last row of increases. That’s it! Don’t adjust anywhere else. That should fit better. 😊❤️🧶

[@mahjongobsessed3312]

Amazing video. U gave me the confidence, I’m a new subscriber. ty. I’ve 1 suggestion & 1question. If possible leave the instructions of what ur working on, up on bottom of screen to reference . My question is when creating the ear flaps and attaching to beanie which is the finished side & inside? .

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Doris! Great question, because this stitch looks the same on both sides either side could be the finished (outside) or the inside. Very convenient that way. 😊❤️🧶

[@debbiegsyarnylove8424]

Nice 👍 thanks for sharing!

[@MaryJCrisp]

Thank you for this tutorial! I made one for my toddler and it fit perfectly. Now I’ve got a six-year-old who wants one. How would you increase the size by a little bit?

[@MaryJCrisp]

I just found your child size hat video. You are so thorough and your videos so awesome. Thank you!

[@denisehoffmann5006]

[@Starapple76]

Thank you so much ❤

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

You are very welcome Robertha! 😊🧡🧶

[@mamafarasheh1094]

Thank you Tiffany, really love the pattern. Can you help me resolve this small dilemma? When doing the rounds of DC do I put my first dc stitch in the slip stitch? Do you count the 2 chains as a 1 dc when you count the total dc stitches? Thanks again!

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Mama Farasheh! Those are great questions! First question. So, to close the round you will slip stitch into the top of the first stitch to close. You will not make any stitches in the slip stitch. That is purely just to close the round. You will want to chain 2 and make your first stitch in the same stitch space that you slip stitched into though. In this pattern the chain 2 does not count as a stitch so when you come back around to close the round, push the chain 2 back, look for the first Dc stitch that you made and slip stitch on top of THAT stitch for a clean close. I hope that helps and makes sense. 😊🧡🧶

[@verenahasi1825]

Niiiice 😍👍☺

[@leevldzjay]

If I wanted to make a linear design with a grid what would be the proportions?

[@Amoresable]

Hi thank you for your wonderful video you are amazing💐💐💐how long does it takes to make🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Oh gosh, that is all up to how fast you can crochet. Uninterrupted I could finish this beanie in an hour. But for others it might take and hour and a half, two hours. 😊🧶❤️

[@jiolenovojio5333]

Hi Tiffiny, your tutorials are very helpful. Thanks a lot. I want to for 3year old .how many rows for upper top 8 /9 rows. Please help.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi there! If you are looking to make a smaller size beanie then the Toddler beanie here I would just take out a row or two but then continue on. I believe the next beanie size down with would be for a 1 - 3 year old just omits one increasing row from this pattern. I hope this helps! Happy crocheting! 😊🧶🧡

[@valeriemortensen3075]

I see your yarn behind you. How do you sort your yarn? By color? By yarn size?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Valerie! I supposed I like to first bunch like yarn types together (Cottons, Velvets, Fuzzy, Bulky) Then I will sort by color. That way if I am working on a specific project that calls for Cotton yarn or a Blanket yarn I know where to go first and then I can choose a color. 😊🧡🧶

[@amychalles9392]

I want to make a toddler beanie with ear flaps but wondering if its possible to have the ear flaps join together with a button to hug toddler face? (Not the brades at the end)

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Amy! You could absolutely do that! Just repeat the first row for the ear flap until you have reached a desired length and then start decreasing. Honestly I am not sure how long you would need to make that ear flap so that they can join together. That will be through trial and error. But really cool idea! Good luck! 😊❤️🧶

[@leevldzjay]

Does anyone know the gauge information on this ? I want to make a grid design on it

[@janicehosier968]

Is it true the smaller hook size is better for toddler's

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Honestly, maybe. These beanies run on the bigger size. They are not meant to be skull cap beanies that have a snug fit. The size is more for a comfortable fit. If you find you would like your beanie to be a tad smaller and tighter then definitely use a smaller crochet hook as it will make your stitches smaller and tighter but not so much smaller that it causes the beanie to go down a full size. If you crochet with a looser tension, working with a smaller crochet hook will also help. Great question! 😊❤️🧶

[@terriealleydavidson4772]

Thanks for your videos. I’m curious-when you make a ball you don’t join each round with a slip stitch. But on a hat you do. But why?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Terrie! That’s a great question! One reason I slip stitch to close each row for the beanie is because I’m just following instructions. The second reason I close each row of the beanie is because I want the last row to end smoothly. Yes, I can see how a beanie could be made with the spiral where you do not slip stitch the row and chain to begin the next row but instead dive right into the next row with stitches. You would have to end the last row a certain way to create a smooth border. Now I’m intrigued and curious to make this spiral beanie. Thanks for asking Terrie!

[@terriealleydavidson4772]

@@CrochetWithTiffany You answered me. How exciting! Thank you. Please try it in a video so we’ll all know. Also I have a ton of DK yarn. When our yarn shop went out of business I bought a lot. I can’t find many hats, etc that use DK. Any ideas for all this DK yarn?

[@cindyparsons207]

Thank you, but I want to put strings on mine. How do I do that?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Ah! Check out the other Basic Beanies on my channel that have the strings. You can fast forward or jump to that part in the video for an explanation. They're all the same. 🤗❤️🧶

What would I do different if I want to make a 4 month infant crochet hat with ear flaps??

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Amy! A secret for you! If you go to this pattern it actually shows within this pattern how to make EVERY beanie size including one for a 4 month infant. I am hoping to get this tutorial up in February. We will see if I can make that happen. 😊🧡🧶

[@loritsotsos7267]

My circle is not laying flat. I have counted my stitches, and they are correct. Am I doing something wrong?😢

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

It is absolutely ok if your circle is not laying flat. We will be shaping it in this egg shape anyway. Keep moving forward with the project. I bet you end up liking the way it turns out. 😊💖🧶

[@loritsotsos7267]

Thank you!!!!

Need help to make a beanie for 18 month boy

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Maria! Honestly if you are able to print out the pattern all sizes are in the same pattern. If you would like to adjust the size of the beanie it’s really just expand your rounds until you have reached the size of the crown of the head and then work regular rounds without increasing until you have met the desired length. Hope this helps. Pattern located in the description section

[@dheerajmamak5585]

you should mentioned the size you are making is for preschool in the video
