This is such a great tutorial. Usually I find them super confusing (bloody beginner here 🥲) thanks so much!

[@a.lexakari]

Glad to hear it:)

[@elladamry8623]

does it have to be circular needles ??

[@liamoreira7219]

thanks, loved the pattern! how did you make the round cords in the beginning?

[@a.lexakari]

those are i-cords - tutorial at 7:16

[@kajolbindra]

I just bought the pattern IM SO EXCITEDD 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@tugbayigen6752]

[@dkalisd]

I usually crochet but would like to make one😍

[@melzac5844]

This is really helpful, thank you!!❤ Could you teach us how can we connect to a narrow scarf so it becomes a bonnet scarf? Please.🥺

[@alenajarro7240]

YASSSS LOVE THIS!!!

[@rorygilmore7385]

Is it for children? I bought the pattern, did everything according to the instructions, but it's soooo small!

[@a.lexakari]

no it's for adults - your knit may be quite tight, but you can loosen the bonnet and make it bigger by blocking it to your desired size

[@ScreamForEly]

I had to add more rows to fit my head lol. I don’t have a large head but the pattern was quite small.

[@qhode616]

am i able to make this with only one string of yarn (not double) and a 5 + 6 mm needle?

[@a.lexakari]

that probably wouldn't create the right size - the best way to check is to make a gauge swatch from the instructions in the pattern to see if your materials will work

[@p.s.6425]

Any experience making it with mohair wool? What size yarn would you recommend? :)

[@a.lexakari]

I haven't used mohair but I've held two strands of Drops Melody which has a similar fuzzy mohair effect!

[@francescadidio3619]

it looks so cute! can i ask what yarn you used for the light blue bonnet?

[@a.lexakari]

"air" by drops design!

[@Sobrien1796]

love the video, though you move through the picking up stitches portion rather quickly! any chance you could do a slowed down version of that section for us beginners? I purchased the pattern and it's still not entirely clear (or maybe i'm just slow😅)

[@aeshwanie]

Thankyou for the tutorial. ❤

[@emi.http..]

hi

[@RahaAref-m6f]

Hello! i just found your page. Im super excited. I was wondering how many should I cast on? Thank youu

[@a.lexakari]

hi welcome! exact stitch numbers can be found in the pattern - download link is in the description:)

[@hanioszek1646]

Hi! Did you used 2 skeins of 150 m of yarn becouse you mixed them and used them together ? I want to make this project by one color - one type of yarn - and I am wondering - do I need to take 150m or 300m of total.

[@a.lexakari]

hi, you will still need 2 skeins to make this in one color!

[@kerssanchez4060]

Hi! Beginner here! Is it possible for this to make using those straight long needle? Or I need to get circular ones?

[@a.lexakari]

Hi, you will need circular needles for this pattern!

[@seepysheepiescrochet]

Is the pattern only available in UK currency? I’d really like to purchase it 😢

[@a.lexakari]

On my site it will only show up in £ but you can check out with a card from any country:)

[@j_rm8883]

is it absolutely essential to switch needles for the ribbing?

[@a.lexakari]

it would still work without changing, but I like to use smaller needles to make sure the ribbing stays snug on the head.

[@adrizaaryal]

Is there a way to do this with straight needles

[@a.lexakari]

No, this must be made on circular needles

[@varshinivijayakumar5646]

hey! love this pattern - if I can meet gauge would 1 strand chunky yarn be an OK substitution?

[@a.lexakari]

thanks! yes, as long as gauge is correct that should work fine :)

[@samihagayed9814]

The pattern😃

[@anissaa2406]

I'm crash making this as a complete beginner 🤣

[@emiliandobre581]

you make it seem so easy😬 🧶🪢

[@sparechipmunk]

Immediately ordered needles this is going to be the second thing i knit after my shitty scarf lol

[@a.lexakari]

good luck!!!

[@violina_Purple69]

Can you please make crochet bonnet in this design? 😍😍😍😍😍

[@a.lexakari]

i already made one on the @materialgrrrlz channel :)

[@drodlaren]

This is genius. I’ve tried figuring out this stuff on my own for years and thought I had to use magic loop for all my dream projects. Turns out I don’t, holding the stitches for later is eye opening. Now I just need to find non itchy yarn. There’s no hope for me, I made a kerchief (or tried lol) in cashmere and silk and even that was itchy wth? 🤭 Knitting with 3 strands of cotton may be my only way to survive. I could maybe make an i-cord yarn and use that? Would love a video on that

[@JG-jn2nn]

can you do a left handed tutorial?

[@clemencep.461]

I’ve been trying for hours my brain cant comprehend how how to pick up stitches

[@maggiep3263]

I'm assuming you want to know how to pick up a stitch on a raw edge. I use a crochet hook. I hold the yarn behind the work. I insert the crochet hook into the center of the knit stitch. Then I hook yarn and pull through. That stitch I transfer onto a knitting needle. I know other people can do this with just a knitting needle, but I can't. I hope this helps and doesn't confuse you.

[@samihagayed9814]

Hi can i have this free❤️🙏🏽
