How to Crochet | Easy 30 Minute Slouchy Hat for Beginners| ❤LifeWithLisa343💋

[@kspikes6010]

To those who complain that it's not the slouch hat as shown, just add more rows until you get the length you want. It's not that serious, just takes a little self initiative and some common sense.

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE BEST COMMENT!!! I can't tell you how many times I not only have to reiterate that one size does not fit all... to add more rows of increase for width and more rounds til you reach your desired slouch!! 😘

[@tanisking7351]

But how do we make the opening bigger I’m on the 12 rows and I can’t fit on my head

[@Sakazhua]

​@tanisking7351 ...increase the double crochet on each row as much as you need to, for the size of your dome. Google how or find it on youtube ...

[@yolandarodriguez4961]

So True, I have read other comments, crying about my hat was short, daaaa add more rolls, and think you're smart, they don't think, have to be told crochet 5 rolls, when you need 7, just add on..Love your videos ❤ 😅😂❤

[@madugenevieve3444]

From the 6th to 12th row is it 2 or 1

[@nikkiburleson3489]

I've never touched a crochet needle in my life. This is the easiest guides that I have ever seen and this was really fun to make

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

WOW! So glad it worked for you! ❤️

[@summerdehner9346]

I'm sitting here trying to figure out why 499 people (as of right now) have given this video a thumbs down. I think it was phenomenal. I am an absolute beginner to crochet and I feel like after watching this video I could attempt this awesome hat. I look forward to trying it soon. Thanks for the amazing tutorial!

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Thank you so much Summer and I only focus on the ones the video helped, I'm by far no expert so if the little that I do know helps just 1 person, I've accomplished my goal! ❤

[@allisonbethune1377]

I made 3 of these hats today. The pattern is great. My only issue, and wouldnt thumbs down over it, is why does my hat and her finished hat (which are identical) look nothing like the picture of the hat on the mannequin that caught my attention originally. That's all. Other than that. Excellent pattern and hat.

[@remyasso]

Very easy hat , she explained it so well I had no issues, except that it looks nothing like the one in the picture☹️

[@summerdehner9346]

I still think this wasn't a bad video at all and helped me make my first project. Did it turn out great? No, but my sister loved it lol. I have gotten so much better in the last 7 months.

[@summerdehner9346]

But also I found that I prefer to make hats bottom up versus top down. Takes lots of patterns and practice to figure out exactly what you prefer to make and how. Maybe I should try this again, now that I have a better idea of what I am doing

[@RhondaMerrickmusician]

It's like listening to a close friend or even a sister telling you how to do something. Thank you.

[@easol]

For those who want a more slouchy hat keep adding rows. To make it still fit decrease the stitches by 2. I did and it came out perfect! Going to give to my sister who has dreads

[@busidlamini8854]

Thanks for the advice

[@robbinlangham5442]

I really enjoyed this and learned something very new about crocheting from bottom and top of yarn skein. This is a free tutorial FREE and folks complaining so rudely are still unhappy. Pattern is VERY EASY and CLEAR!!!

Glad it was helpful! And as long as my tutorial could help at least one person achieve the goal of crocheting a hat, then I am satisfied! 🥰

[@lifeofamomadventures6978]

Good Morning Lisa. I just finished mine. I did it in a buttercup yellow and gray, and made 13 rows. I’ve got a big head. Lol. This took me just a night to do. With all the cooking of meals, cleaning, and taking time for my 6 yr. old grandson that comes over on the weekends(1 of 17 grandchildren), I started it yesterday. Love this easy pattern. Thank you so much.

You said two double crochets in rows 5-9! Then at end it was really one double crochet! Poor communication

[@ChiannaPQuick]

@@Stacyfree Not poor communication, just a human mistake when physically doing something and audibly relaying the info. The brain… It truly is magnificent. Maybe identify and suggest an edit? Yea, that seems more appropriate

[@Cuddles-zx9ew]

Hi Lisa, I'm from the UK, and finding tutorials based on UK wool. thank you for sharing this tutorial, I took a few tries to get it right to suit the size I was looking for. I made a few changes ie hook size and wool, we use Double Knit wool and I used Patons Fab DK wool and a UK 6mm hook. I just worked the magic circle until I had 78 stitches then worked the number of rounds for length I changed to a number 5 hook working another couple of rounds decreasing to get the size I was looking at this point I changed hook size again to a number 4.5mm and worked 8 rounds of SC in every DC st. to create a band and it came out beautifully and most of all my daughter loves it.

[@ionieantonia]

Bless you for sharing, very well explained, I am a beginner, and since watching your video in a few days I have made 4 hats 😊🙏🏽

WOW! Happy birthday to your "babies"...Thank you so much for watching! 💕

[@colleenjacobs9466]

I love the dual strands on the hat. I started experimenting doing that about a year ago. Instead of using the same color yarn, I like to use two different ones. Using 2 complimentary varigated ones is so much fun. Just watching the way the colors all play together. A few months ago I started using one strand of a #4 along with two strands of a fine #1. I made an infinity scarf for a friend using three strands of the #1 yarn in three different colors. I used a fairly large hook, an L, I think. It made the scarf so soft and fluffy. Its a Christmas gift and I'm so excited to see her reaction.

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Yessss! i love mixing yarn, definitely gives your projects a unique look. Thank you so much for watching! 🥰

[@cynthiacazares4807]

This is such a clear, concise video to follow along with! My mom taught me the basics of crocheting when I was still in elementary school; 20-something years later my hats are still real hit and miss lol. But I followed along to your video and ended up with a cute hat about an hour later. Thank you!

Thank you so much. Sat watching TV and knocked this out....More than 30 minutes....More like 2 shows. It will be an excellent gift.

[@3lministries153]

I have been watching crochet videos for a long time. I needed to make my own because I am natural with a lot of hair and could never find a hat to fit my head. I thought I could never learn to crochet so I made a couple with the loom (along with scarves). I am in love with my hats. The only thing is it takes soo long with the loom and having to carry around all the hardware when I want to crochet on the go. I really wanted to learn to use the hooks also as I am including hats in scarves in my outreach ministry. I watched a half single crochet from another lady for the scarf (which I absolutely love) and was looking for a pattern for a hat. Your instructions are great, I am now confident and excited to finally feel as though I can do it! So many people are in need this year. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. So many people will be blessed because of your help. God bless you. Sharon

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Good video Lisa. I never thought about pulling the strand from the middle and the outside of the skein, to crochet together.

Hello. I've made several of these for my grandkids and they fit them great! However I can get it on my big 'ol head. How do I make it about 3 inches bigger in circumference? Do I add more than 8 stitches in the magic ring? If so how will that affect my increase rows? Example if I add 12 DC into magic ring what would rows 2-4 pattern be? Thank you so much for your videos! I have learned so much.

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Thank you so much for watching and I'm so glad my tutorial helped! What you would need to do to make the hat larger is add an extra row or two of increases, meaning...your FIFTH round would be another row of increases, 2 double crochets in the 1st stitch followed by THREE individual double crochets in the next 3 stitches and repeat, this will make the hat larger.

To make the DC stitching “tighter” with keeping the same yarn instructions, could I decrease the hook size to a 9 (I don’t have a 9.5) and just add 2 rows of increases? I ask because my boyfriend loved my beanie and wants one to match his scarf I made but doesn’t want it so “see through” as he calls it. 😂

Yes, the smaller the hook the tighter the pattern and just use your judgement as to how many rows to do

I love your video, i developed permanent eyesight loss in 2016, I qualified for SSDI because of it, it hasn't improved much since then but I am grateful for what eyesight I have left. I had no problem following along with your video. I am an experienced crocheter and have made a lot of things. Not as easily now with my eyesight but I still enjoy crocheting. I haven't ever been able to understand how to do the magic circle though until now. Thank you so much for making this video. I also love your pointer of how to easily do a double strand. Also, using Caron yarn to make a bulky style hat with your method. I am on limited SS disability so I use Caron yarn a lot. I see most instructional video using more expensive yarns and it is discouraging to see everyone using fancy yarns that I cannot get, so your video is refreshing. I subscribed and then today I couldn't find it and spent hours looking.

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Great job!

[@bevbutch1364]

I made this hat last night. This was the easiest video I’ve followed by far. Love my new hat!

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Mamooshka220]

"I don't know just look" 😂

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

The best way I could "describe" it! Lol

[@catosborne5197]

That's ok, but there might be vision impaired viewers. I know most people don't think in those terms but it is possible for blind people to work on projects by touch so "just look at it" isn't super helpful for those potential audience members.

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

I made the video for those who could follow along visually. Never took into consideration there may be some that can't. However, my comment about just look isn't that deep and certainly not intended to offend anyway. Thanks for watching

[@robertataggart5989]

Love it!! Lol. ♡♡♡

[@zuzanahensey7314]

I looked and looked and looked ... I am a very beginner and I will have to look elsewhere because i just didn't get it😥

[@loisantonelli9287]

I’ve had some yarn setting out just crying to be made into a slouchy hat thamks👍❤️

[@cat_af9097]

Mine is the size of a cat hat and I did everything right

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Nooooo, 😂😂 You HAD to go wrong somewhere unless your cat has a huge head. Did you use the same size hook? Where you gripping too hard? I'm trying to figure out why it would come out so small?! Let me know, hopefully I can help you ❤LWL💋

[@cat_af9097]

I used one that's a bit smaller but not enough to make it that much smaller and I dont grip very hard

[@KatarinaS.]

Sounds perfect for the kitty in your profile pic!

[@joanjett8344]

Probably your gauge.

[@Nathouuuutheone]

Size of the tool, how tight you pull your yarn, and how thick your yarn is. That can all play a role.

[@Chaoticcrotchet]

Wow, you even took the time to reply! You truly are a blessing. Thank you Lisa

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Any time!

[@hezekiahrose1247]

I've tried for years to learn to crochet a beanie, and tried many videos. Yours is the very first one that I have been able to understand! Thank you so much for the clear instructions, your sharing of knowledge, and sharing your time! My finished project turned out a little wonky on the brim, but it worked! Thank you again!

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Wonderful! I'm do glad it helped!

[@justdoinggood2645]

Can I make a request? I would love a tutorial for ear warmer and a messy bun hat🙏 Plz

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Tara, I will add that to my list. I am currently working on mastering gloves and it is HARD! I may put it aside and go for the messy bun hat, which would be perfect for me! Thanks for the suggestions! ❤LWL💋

[@marysunshine4730]

Tara, there are awesome tutorials for the projects you mentioned but I also love this instructor, so easy to follow.

[@shawnahelton5668]

I can follow you just fine. keep going

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Thanks for the encouragement Shawna! ❤LWL💋

I am a beginner crocheter, Thank you so much for this video WITH the written pattern. My son wants one of these for his dreads. I really appriciate your detail in this video. You make it so easy!

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

You are so welcome!

[@bonniemooney3283]

Thanks for sharing your slouchy hat pattern. I’m making this one for my daughter! You are enjoyable and easy to follow and I say ignore those who are negative because you are sharing a gift. Those people are negative about many things in life and sadly should just be ignored.

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Thank you so much!

Does the chain two in the beginning count as one of the eight double crochets?

[@sicroachx421]

I don't think so but it's hard to tell, I paused at 3:44 to count

[@msj0856]

Alejandra Rosales it doesn’t look like it

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Sorry I am so late responding. I totally missed this comment. But the answer is no...

[@ozchick3803]

This is a fantastic tutorial, so easy to follow along and you are a great teacher. Thank you for this pattern

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Thank you!!! You are so welcome!

[@SquinkSchmedium]

I for sure thought this was going to be frustrating to sit through and try to do, but it wasn't. You are so clear with your instructions and your voice is so calming. Thank you, this is both a helpful video and an enjoyable experience

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Thank you Beth! ❤LWL💋

[@amberhudson5626]

i followed this tutorial step by step and my hat came out way to big around, i don’t know what i did wrong..

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Did you count your stitches as you went along?

[@msboss0188]

Mine did as well I gave up and will try again later

[@alejandrarosales7836]

So this happens when the tension in your yarn changes you're crocheting too loosely tighten your tension or go down a needle size

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

If any of you are having a hard time with the Magic Circle make sure to click on the link in the video to view a more detailed tutorial that I just recorded, I hope it helps. THERE IS NOTHING THAT I CAN DO ABOUT THE MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO AT THIS POINT, IT WAS AS LOW AS I COULD GET IT TO GO (sorry). Just mute the video then and watch. ALSO, THE MORE ROWS YOU ADD, THE SLOUCHIER THE HAT BECOMES. ❤LWL💋

[@1tolivethroughit170]

You are the AWESOMEST💓💓 You're so chill and easy to follow! Thank you!!!

Omg yes!! In the video you said just look cuz I can't explain itbut then i did and the video cuts lmao. Thanks!!!

[@kristinmoore8609]

Hello Lisa! Does it matter if we do the three finger magic loop from your other video instead of the two fingers used here for this project?

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

@@kristinmoore8609 not at all. They both work 😊

[@kathrynchattin6399]

I love how you teach. Easy to understand and follow.

[@juleswilliams1207]

Great video but the music is off-putting when trying to crochet along with you. Just a way to make tutorial better, as you say in the video Jules xxx

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Hey Jules! Thank you so much for watching. You aren't the first person to mention the music, so I will surely switch things up for my next video! 😊 ❤LWL💋

[@jujurequejo1201]

Until today I had not been able to complete a hat by doubling yarn, but you made it simple and to the point. I actually added extra so my granddaughter can either fold or slouch. I enjoyed your video and an looking forward to more of your patterns. thank you very much.

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lk4157]

Lisa best tutorial I have seen so far! The music is fine for me. I thought you were clear and informative. The video is perfect. I will be using this video often as I have a daughter who wears this style. I am still learning the basics of crochet and I never understand intructions well but I did yours.... Thanx

[@LifeWithLisa3434]

Awwww, thank you soooo much!!!!
