How to Knit a Beanie for Beginners

[@marthaluthin4766]

I have made several hats with this tutorial when my son was at home. He is now in college and he uses his hats all the time. I just bought some yarn to make a new hat with the colors of his college.😉

[@karinawilson8507]

Omg! That’s such a smart way of estimating how much yarn to have for casting on.

I don’t know how I got here but that was the most interesting 40 minutes of December so far.

[@smallfootprint2961]

I've only made a couple things, so far. A few wash cloths and a hat, knitted in the round. It didn't have any decreases so, I think I'll do this one next to practice more purling, and decreasing, but shorter, no cuff. Thanks for posting, and for the great idea.

[@francaperotti5934]

My left hand is my dominant hand. I was taught to knit right handed but the older I have become I prefer what is continental knitting even though this is actually German. My family is Italian and Italians knit with the none working needle under the arm.

[@geraldinepugh7111]

Brilliant video, you explained how to make it in a simple way to understand. I can’t wait to get started, thank you so much . Geraldine South Wales

[@grandma.p]

Thanks for the instruction and pattern. I'm looking forward to making a few as gifts.

[@neeluephoto1338]

You explain things so well for us beginners! Definitely subscribing!

[@momokokochuchuchu]

i used this video to knit my dad a hat for the first time and it was super helpful!!! thanks so much

[@elsiemcdermid6561]

What size needles do you use

[@augustadozie1200]

Hmmmm..thanks for the video. I'm actually more comfortable holding my working yarn like I'm crouching, now I know how to pro with it as well...Well done

[@valeriet4459]

This is an awesome 😎 begins video.. I’m definitely going to try my hand 🤚 at knitting 🧶.. thanks 🙏

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you! Definitely try it...you won't regret it! 😄

[@chubipower]

I'm gonna try this once I get my hands on some tools and yarn. Thx for sharing :)

[@betsyk22]

Can you mention how to go ahead and just make this in the round if we do feel comfortable with that technique? I assume we'd just keep going around?

[@crys31ny]

What number of yarn and needles you used it ?

[@crys31ny]

@Jarreau Amann Thank you 👍❤

[@SyarahNisa5613]

9:05 is for left handed like me :) thank you very much!

[@2milo23]

I'm barely new to knitting, but I have some knowledge to begin small projects. I have a question, when you did your cast on how come you didn't use a slipknot?

[@Tina28134]

I love it thank you so much and I hope to make us a sweater size small with the same needle 😊

[@jv-ib5rc]

In continental style of knitting the yarn stays stationary. It's the needle that moves to grab the yarn. 😊

[@charlotteanncooke6834]

How is your knitting so perfect mine literally is a mess 😂

[@Melana-d1i]

I am a beginner knitter and I can't wait to make this hat, but how much yard do I need?)

[@Felicity2121]

Can I carry on with the decrease (crown shaping) with flat needles. Nervous new beginner! Could I knit this in dk? Thanks for everything you have some good content. Take Care

[@aryanuchauhan]

I don't seem to get the purl stitch but I have got a hold over the knit stitch can this hat be made by only knitting?

[@miology101]

Can you please make a video of this beanie for crochet?

[@theastewart6721]

Interesting that you used the whip stitch to sew it up. It is one of my favorite stitches but most patterns call for the mattress stitch. I always knit my hats in the round so I don’t have to deal with seams. Having said that I really need to practice!! Thanks!

[@whisperingogre9562]

[@annettebaca4565]

How long is your circular needles

[@ehanroblox9520]

Can you make a video for kids that are not teens but a little less older.

[@rachelpollock8863]

What needles are you using while you are casting on? It looks like the needles were put in an electric pencil sharpener. Thanks

[@SuperDesignChick]

Rachel Pollock they look like knitters pride platinas or cubics.

[@gizefernandes9713]

Qual a quantidade de pontos ? sou do Brasil 🇧🇷 não entendo sua língua

[@shaheen.a.m2025]

That was very nice. How do we know the right side and the wrong side?

[@alejandratrinidad7273]

Hi I would like to know how to knit in circular kneedles thank you .

[@paulinekenyon7623]

Hi I won't to do this pattern but can you tell me the size and cm of the needles please in UK size.

[@elizabethcarpentier7533]

👍 Nice! Greetings from Arizona!!!

[@jacquelineknight8926]

1st question: How do I finish the first row? I don’t know the process on the last stitch and then starting the second row? 2nd question: What do you mean by “turn your work”? Like flip the needles around or just make sure that the knitted sections are turned the same way?

[@bhookedcrochet]

Hi Jacqueline! You'll finish the last stitch of each row the same way you work the others. Then to start the next row, flip the needle that has all the stitches on it like you're turning the page of a book. Hope this helps!

[@torialexandra4610]

Following your tutorial has been wonderful! I’m knotting the large size and the only thing I’m genuiniely confused about is that you said during the crown shaping that we’re doing the same pattern rows 1-6 but on the red heart pattern it says rows 4-6 small size only? So do I skip them? Help!

[@loving110995]

Tori Alexandra I would say do what the pattern says for the larger size.. I made the smaller size but on larger needles and cut out a couple rows because I didn't want my hat to be too tall.. So the decreasing part, rows 4-6, I only did two rows..

[@debras2845]

Found it. Thanks again for the video.

[@sallaluf]

Does YOUR decrease also apply to 3 X 3 ribbed beanie?

[@fatimaazeem2893]

this is the best video

[@grandma.p]

Do you really need the SuperSaver to make this? It seems like enough yarn to make hats for the whole team.

[@grandma.p]

Do the wrong side and right side look different?

[@lolaloveslife305]

You only say to use a circular needle, but never the size. Can you please tell me what size you used?

[@debras2845]

The pattern indicates Size 7. Here is the link for pattern:www.redheart.com/files/patterns/pdf/LW5665-Game-Day-Knit-Hat-Free-Pattern.pdf

[@lolaloveslife305]

[@balindaroybal]

[@AndiHerr]

[@jeanetteferguson7079]

Can I use straight needles for the hat?

[@NaryHayas]

Jeanette Ferguson yes

[@loisevans4340]

what size needle, looks like maybe a 7

[@bhookedcrochet]

You're exactly right. Red Heart calls for a US 7 (4.5 mm) for this one 👍

[@me6372]

How long is this needle

[@francaperotti5934]

I have never knit a hat and still get intimidated

[@goldenlight9558]

[@bhookedcrochet]

Hey there! Red Heart recommends a 4.5 mm needle and Red Heart Super Saver yarn which is a #4 medium weight. Here's a link to the pattern: www.yarnspirations.com/red-heart-game-day-knit-hat/RHK0116-016516M.html

[@rhonibaby]

What brand of needles were you using?

[@goldenlight9558]

@@bhookedcrochet thank you so much .. I also start knitting a beanie.. my first ever knitting project. You video helping me alot

[@volp_the_beast]

How much yarn have u used?????

[@bhookedcrochet]

I used less than one skein of each color. Red heart doesn't specifically give the yardage of each color in the pattern, unfortunately.

[@volp_the_beast]

@@bhookedcrochet Thank you! :)

[@TheBobr54]

Can and how can this be made into a slouch hat? Thank you!

[@weddinglady38]

That's the HARD WAY!!!! RIdiculous!

[@traceyannberman5874]

Sorry to be daft, but f the needles are round, why is there a seam? Can you tell this is my first project? :)

[@IdratherbeinHobbiton]

While she's using circular needles, she did not connect the ends and work the hat in a continuous spiral, it comes out as a flat square. She had to sew up the sides of the hat to make it wearable. Hope that helps clear up your confusion.

[@Sebby444]

I keep fuding missing up the casting on it won’t fudgeingwork

[@debras2845]

Could you please link the pattern? I do not need to watch the complete video but like the pattern for charity knitting. Thanks.

Please, call it a "tuque" ('U' as in "oops" = "took") not "beanie". Beanie is the little cap with no peak that a welder wears.
