How to Knit | Men's Beanie

[@patriciaparis2650]

Wish you would consider offering this tutorial again but use a light background to contrast the black yarn you used. It would make it easier to see the progression and pattern ; making it easier to follow.

[@Andophonic]

Background is fine, but lighter colored yarn would show up soooo much better on camera.

[@analuisamom]

yes it should be white,

[@devikavarad]

Also I wanted to share that your instructions were very clear and easy to follow. 1 feedback though. Your stitches n work would have been much more visible if you had used a lighter colored yarn and a lighter background. Many places I couldn't see the stitches

[@alicialewin2016]

Its actually an easy pattern to follow and megan explains it clearly im at the end part of it where i must knit it together i enjoyed knitting the beanie i probably knit another one when this ones finished have a fascination with knitting beanies now ❤❤❤

[@catstap3067]

This is great, I have been knitting for 50yrs & You taught me a new way to cast on & a new stitch (by knit one slip one) which creates a lovely pattern & a new & very neat way of sewing it up when complete. many thanks for this tutorial.

[@judymansky6367]

YAY! This is first one I saw on regular instead of circular needles! I'm a beginner but am going to try this over the weekend. Thank you!!!!!

[@debiedwards2860]

Wow I just found this and my Best Friend Kevin asked me to knit him a Beanie for Christmas! Thank you so so much xxx

[@bobbieparsons1917]

Thank-you for a great tutorial Megan. I was finding it difficult to source a beanie pattern using regular straight needles, till I found this little gem. You are a clear, concise teacher and you were not only extremely easy to follow, you were a delight to watch. 10/10

[@souzyselim7845]

Plz ..make this beanie again with lighter yarn ..we can't see what you are doing clearly ..anyway it's an a wesome beanie ..love all your tutorial ..u r such lovely person ..thank u 😘❤

I think a girl could pull it off as well. I love this one and was in search for a semi beginner knit hat. Thank you so much. I'm excited to make this. I've been crocheting fifty year's or since age five- ish. But started knitting recently and love love love. Thank you and blessings from New Mexico

[@sharinasingh5180]

Great teaching I just finished making my husband a beanie from you directions good job and I made a scarf to match thank you much

[@rosie6094]

This is a beautiful beanie. You did a great job. A little hard to see because of the color. I wish I knew how to knit. I do a little but when it comes to to mistakes I don't know how to correct it. Love the yarn you used. Seems very soft. Makes the beanie look elegant. Thanks for sharing.

[@pratl143]

This came out sooo good! Getting many compliments on the beanie I made. Thank you for this video.

[@khoanna9600]

Hai!Lindsey,just want to know whether u follow this video or comment from Catherine to do this beanie?i plan to do but confused abt who's is the right one to follow..tqvm

[@nanno8483]

You have a great talent for teaching. This was a great effort! I look forward to more knitting videos from you using lighter colored yarn to give us students a clearer view of your stitches ( as stated by others) :)

[@nicoleiannuzzi449]

I love this pattern! Especially the fact that it's not in the round! Subscribing!!!

[@zemorakeller6725]

Excellent video easy to follow, thank you.

[@33467134]

I love, love the pattern. I will be making it real soon. The instructions are so easy to follow. My name is Sandi. Computer under my husband's account.

[@victoreezz]

Amazing hat! I will doing this for me! Thanks!!

[@gabeferreira2841]

Please use a light color so we can see

[@emerenzjanafarrugia4517]

You should use light coloured yarn if you want to reach someone

[@anthonylily4137]

I agree

[@missbj1601]

Great easy to follow video, just a note, you said to repeat the first two rows of the K2,P2 ribbed border 10 more times to make 20 rows but the wording at the bottom of the video read “*7 more times so we have 16 rows” please clarify. Also could you write how many stitches should there be after you increase 98 to make the body of the beanie. Thank You x

[@tstaats81]

This is such a nice beanie. I really hope you decide to re-film it with a lighter yarn or lighter background, one or the other. It was so difficult to see.

[@mairakhadzar9230]

great video... i will do this for my someone special...or maybe my crush.... hahahha

[@louiesa9251]

omg that's very cute

[@kamureveggino498]

really good! I did one already and making another one because It looks really good

[@leenamunge7954]

The colour of wool is so dark cannot see the correct method but like pic of the beanie. Was happy becoz you used straight needles. I'm senior and want to learn

[@d.vaders1178]

What kind of a knitter "packs the needles away" in the spring?

[@tobygolding1893]

a gardener and someone with many hobbies woodwork...sanding painting ..winter for knitting

[@mintymilka9400]

Tell me you're not actually gatekeeping fucking knitting lmao

[@_mangostudio_1911]

Why not lol

[@_mangostudio_1911]

@@mintymilka9400 Rightt like it’s just knitting, let people enjoy it their way

[@debbieatkin1203]

Good slow explanation..but black wool and dark background .found it hard to see what you were doing .

[@yvrhikes]

thank you. great video. do you have a pattern for using circular needles.

[@a.a.s.3799]

i literally unsuccessfully tried doing a rib for like a year and then randomly watched this tutorial and got it immediately...

[@NhatNguyen-pl3xz]

Nice tutorial but you need a lighter background. Can't really see the yarn

[@pinkishhaven5158]

What weight is the Baby Bee Sweet Delight? Also about the needles too. Is it size 6 in UK or US? I do t have size 6 but I have a 5mm circular needle This looks perfect project for me

[@devikavarad]

Hi I made this cap and its come out really well. Only thing is tho I took the number of stitches as u mentioned, the base of the cap is rather large for my son. How can I make it tighter at the edge now that I've finished the cap?

[@tabithaminyue6266]

Hey there! This is such a good video, thank you so much! I'm so excited to try it. Can I ask how you would go about knitting stripes into this pattern? I have such pretty yarn but I'm a little worried about messing up the pattern. I'd be really grateful for advice!

[@anngopal8586]

Thanks for that but very hard to follow in black🙏❤️

[@jameson891]

At 3:00 is when things start to get tricky for me because I struggle with the knitting/pearling and when you demonstrate that step you go too fast and hold the camera too far away to see exactly what you’re doing and I’ve tried rewatching that part over and over on full brightness and highest quality but sadly it still didn’t make a difference because the camera was going in and out of focus repeatedly. Can you make another video like this one but with changes that fix the problems of this video? And you can add/change some aspect about the beanie to make it a unique video upload rather than a edit or a redo of this one so you won’t lose any work/time/likes/comments/revenue/etc.

[@carolcharles770]

Brilliant well done 👍

[@christineford8367]

I wish you could make this pattern a free downloadable for us

[@rayblox4859]

I want to follow to make this hat for my 5y old son, but it is hard to see. I hope u make another video with lighter yarn.

[@annetteheat4110]

Hi I followed the pattern correctly, when it came to the crown, I decreased and ended up with a pointy finish. I don’t understand how this became. There are a lot of stitches to decrease. My beanie looked Liked Noddy’s hat. Lol. Frustrating😬

[@tobygolding1893]

should read comments 1st Catherine Bergeron explains up top mistaakes

[@Yesi9693]

can this be made into a none slouchy beanie. if so, how long is the body supposed to be instead of the 8 inches

[@onebrneyedbeauty1]

Hello I am making this hat for my son but I got a little confused on the area that reads, continue decreasing in this manner! Does that mean to continue decreasing as Row 5? Please clarify for me! Thank you Maria

[@4x4chevyrob]

That looks to hard but i want to make my own hat i may have to take a class lol you make it look really eazy

[@swarnlata7437]

The dark colour of wool and background colour are making hard to see.

[@irenesanez7765]

Soft licorice yarn is made of what?

[@irenesanez7765]

Sad to say no yarn like that here in my country ( Philippines). I mean brand. I would love to try those yarn you use here in the video. Any suggestions of yarn brand same texture of what you use?

[@eddaleverette5719]

can I make this knitted hat with circular needles?

[@kashojan2886]

I have started this pattern but i just wanted to ask that the 1 slip 1 knit and the pearl row.. there is no pattern or anything over there.. it looks rough and mixed up.. can you please show the closeup of this hat so that i can see if i'm doing correct

[@KiranSharma-cx4gg]

nice beanie caps

[@vidyaranjini8496]

Sister do you have any idea, how to make the same pattern with 2 colour s. Kindly upload a video on it

[@whyaskwhy99ify]

you are very pretty like a angel

[@shayonm1571]

while decreasing the width, how to know if the one after the two together stictch is a slip or a kint??

[@lindsay3460]

so when I'm doing the slip and knit/purl part. am I knitting the slips or slipping the slips. idk if that makes sense but I'm getting upset cause I made it this far and now it's starting to look all screwy.

[@NinjaBunnyAssassin]

Lindsay Same here. I've had to start over a couple times and I want to make this hat, I'm just getting so frustrated

[@florida111893]

Following for a reply because I’ve had the same problem.

[@timquain5341]

How did you fit 148 stitches on your needle?!?!? I struggled to get the 98 on there. Dod you have really long needles?!?! I have finished the brim but I don't know what to do now because I literally can't fit another stitch on my needle. Please help. Thanks :)

[@akikofujishima3829]

Wish you could have used a lighter-colored yarn. It is very hard to see what you are doing. Thank you!

[@ShellMaky]

I think I've got the wrong thickness of wool😄my hat is looking HUGE

[@PrimoVlog2004]

With increasing after row 16, you started with 98 stitches and then did you add 49 additional stitches? As you said knit one and add on. Please clarify

[@frogextract4310]

I knit all the time and when I want to sell my scarves I knit during the Spring and Summer so I don't have to hurry for orders Ps I love circulars Needles

[@alyssacabrera6954]

I just wanted to know if I can do the same pattern with Worsted weight yarn and a different size needles?

[@katcus]

Hi! Is it necessary to have larger needles after the ribbing or can we use the same needles the entire time?

[@whatever9126]

Your pattern says to slip knitwise for the body. But in your video you slipped purlwise. So which is it?

[@artejikeme3673]

I have a question: after you sew everything up how to you tie it sow it doesn't come loose?

[@DoowTael]

Honestly I don't know what's wrong with me. Any time I watch someone knitting it looks so confusing and I honestly can't follow. Someone even tried to teach me in person before and it didn't go well at all. It's so intimidating! 😣😣 Hopefully I can get it some day.

[@rcarm1720]

Lauren Atwood you'll probably never end up reading this comment, but to anyone else who reads it too, I think you should watch a couple of the learning to knit videos by goodknitkisses because I watched some of her videos when I was just starting and she really clearly explained casting on and doing the first few rows and things, and she went super slowly too so you could pretty much keep up, or just keep pausing

[@DoowTael]

rcarm17 Hi there! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look them up :) I'm currently not knitting anymore (I switch my arts and crafts often haha), but I'll definitely be trying it again now that it's going into winter over here 😄

[@samarasanchez3616]

On the 1st Row Of decreasing are you ending with knitting the two together or just one

[@bibianamiranda5006]

Thank you for the patience , but really I'm kind of blind and the colour doesn't help much sorry

[@MeganBrightwood]

I've received a number of messages like this, particularly concerning the color, and I apologize for that. I do have an updated version of this pattern that is worked in the round and is much easier to see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJmzkn9_hp2Znpo

[@bibianamiranda5006]

Megan Brightwood yes I just saw it ,thank you I can see lot better there..and has lots of details..very useful ..thank you 🤗

[@mariannabertolini133]

Hey, I loved your video I just have one question. On the decrease part when you say continue on do you mean continue like row 1 and 3 of decreasing (knit 2 together after 13 on row 1 and 12 on row 3) or keep decreasing until I do one row all knitting 2 together ( like row 5 knit 2 together after 11, row 7, after 10...)?

[@rachanarawat6362]

How many stiches needed

[@yenchaubui9004]

Easy for us if you use White So we can see it better

[@tete7477]

Cast a bunch ?how many stitch is that.

[@neuweiher]

I like your tutorial, but it's difficult to follow and see because you used yarn in dark color. Would you mind if you do this tutorial again and with yarn in bright color instead? I will be happy and very greatful 😊

[@basmasloma5637]

Size needles 6 US or 6mm ?? I didn't know ...please answer me

[@neganssavior9327]

When im decreasing do u always do a row pearling in between the decreasing rows?

[@ndhia5729]

My yarn is small so..how many cast should I put for guy

[@Plumbobs]

how long is your brim?? mine looks like its starting to be super long

[@xavierlagimoniere4934]

Do we have to start with a long tail stich

[@valeriewilliams003]

Would a size 10 1/2 work or maybe a nine needle size ?

[@morgan5480]

Is that a US or UK size 6?

[@iukey]

only fools disliked this vid btw i liked and subbed

[@katiewooden3267]

Could I do this on Circular needles and I still look good

[@gothicvampireangel]

katie wooden anything done on straight needles can be done on circular needles. At least thats what i have learned

[@harjindersingh6459]

It would be nice if it was light color

[@0Shadowstep]

Around 4:15 what's that music the song or artist or is it a sample

[@rahafe6637]

How much yarn did you need for this beanie?

[@bryancollins1359]

The discrepancies between what is being said in this video and what is actually needed to finish the hat are massive. I'm down to my last "knit two together" row and I have way more stitches than I should. Ugh.

[@mugiwaranoluffy6581]

What is the total height of your beanie according to the inch tape

[@suemitchell4259]

How many stitches did u cast on.

[@ktsolohomes1129]

Why would you use a dark background with dark yarn.

[@phildude587]

Hi Megan, thanks for this nice tutorial but could have been much better if background is of a lighter colour. So sorry to say that it's so hard to see what you're doing as the yarn is black and background is dark brown. A room for improvement the next time.

[@samplasse9886]

can I use a size 5 bulky yarn

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

Baby yarn? Are you saying that this hat is made with fingering yarn?

[@MeganBrightwood]

No, that's just what the yarn is called. It's more of a DK or sport weight yarn.

[@fffannyyy]

Hi there, I’m knitting for my very first time ever, and I was intrigued by your video with your beanie design! So far, I’m on the very first step of the 98 stitches. I’m at 85 stitches out of 98, but the “extra” string that is to my left that is not attached to the ball of yarn is very short and may not be enough for the rest of the stitches. What can I do here? I am a total newb! You have a great video though, and I can’t wait to finish my very first knitting project! Thanks to you :)

[@fffannyyy]

Also, would having little to no “extra” string affect the way my beanie turns out in end? One more thing, what length would you recommend keeping the “extra” string for next time? I had it at about 1 1/2 feet long. Thank you so much in advance! Any help will do!

[@UKraining]

I'm afraid you have to redo your stitches with a longer "extra" string otherwise your hat will be too tight.

[@amazonamazon460]

I wish you used a different color yarn so we could see the pattern I had no idea what it looked like

[@tobygolding1893]

read Catherine comments itt's wrongg anywau

[@alvinastrohm775]

To dark a background . Otherwise it sounds doable.

[@harjindersingh6459]

Good jobs but too dark color hard to see 😘

[@audreyfisher731]

What size are the needles and yarn?

[@kerropiyo]

Camera keeps getting off focus.. :(

[@kylangeorge]

What size is this?

[@mayatouri8723]

Hi! Your very nice!

[@sheilapaschal5265]

Love the video but it’s really hard to watch you with dark yarn on a dark table.

[@homegarden9368]

Did u say 6 no needle?

[@barbaradickinson6927]

DO YOU HAVE THE PATTERNS

[@eordinado]

What is the gauge of your yarn?

[@izzayyWOOwatchthis]

Mine didn’t turn out like yours 😭

[@sjackson5816]

Has anyone else attempted this and found their stitches got very tight at the knit/purl then slip rows? They're so tight after 3 of these rows that my hands are getting sore from tugging them across my wooden needles. Any tips to fix this?

[@michyoung77]

one, wooden needles will always have a tight tug-like flow to it when your knitting. They are meant for beginners who easily drop stitches. You should switch to Aluminum or metal needles, you will find knitting far quicker and smoother. Don't worry, knitting needles are very cheap, you can get a pair for about $3. Another thing you can try is loosing the tension on your yarn line, and stretching out the stitches to be more loose, and not tightening them when you knit. Good luck, and I hope that helped!

[@sjackson5816]

Thank you so much! You confirmed my theory! I was thinking it was time to switch to metal needles too. I'm definitely going to try.

[@michyoung77]

I actually ran into a tight stitches problem on my needles too. I highly suggest stretching your stitches out during the slip phase. I found it helped me tons. :)

[@alexaclark3942]

S Jackson I noticed that, I'm trying to make one for my dad for Christmas

[@Dee-ny2kw]

Directions are fine but the color of yarn and background are a terrible choice! Please make one with bright colors! Thank you
