Cindy uses her Baby Lock serger on this project for a clean finish. If you don't have a serger, you can also use your traditional sewing machine. #babylocksewing

Wow! Such an easy pattern. Thank you for showing how you sew this beanie. So helpful to include the pattern. Will be making some of these. Great job!

[@denisespigner5684]

this is great. Thank You for the video and pattern. Thank You for coming back with these easy useful projects!

[@jennifercooper279]

I'm getting my very first serger TODAY!! Can't wait to make my first beanie!!

[@rebeccamills4673]

Yay - a serger project! But -- can easily be done on a domestic machine. Love the knit fabric! Thanks for the pattern!

[@louloubellzz]

It was refreshing to see one made not on a sewing machine. I will be sure to try your way. Thank you so very much. Great on a bad hair day too. Thank you for the pattern and instructions.

Omg 😱 it worked. I actually made it. So pleased. I’m a subscriber now. And it was fun to make.

[@marietteforget7804]

WoW! Thank you very much! I’ll start making some! Have a great day! 😎🌸

[@glennspohn5534]

Leslie: This was such an easy pattern to make. I started chemo and will be needing it soon. It fits well-leaves some room on top so it doesn't look tight all over. Thank you.

[@dtuquilar]

What size did you make?

[@lynnberube9898]

happy to see surger video thanks

[@camagnuson6108]

That's so nice!

[@debithomas377]

What an lovely easy pattern that I can actually follow! I am so excited to try it out, as I want to make quite a few for the various charities I support. Thank you. I hope there is an easy one for fleece scarves as well. was multitasking and managed to print pattern too whilst watching the video! :-)

Put it on and show us! I was waiting to see how it looked! :)

[@shirleydixon1471]

Looks good

Wow! you teach so easily mam. Love from India (-:

[@shonaroy7917]

Sooooo nice.....

[@aparnaedara4254]

Thank you so much for such an easy-to-follow tutorial and patterns! The beanie also did not take much fabric, which is great. I made two beanies, one large and one medium. The large one was big enough. So I tried the medium one and that came out too small. It looked like something for the size of a toddler. Do you have a pattern with the size between the large and the medium?

[@gertrudefiggs8228]

Thanks

[@AriyanaBellydancer]

Are there measurements for the adult and kids hat? I don't have a printer

[@ladyd54]

Making it for someone who is undergoing chemo, I would recommend that you make a lining to so it is soft against there head, thereby you would only have one seam exposed the bottom cuff.

[@cindycloward3545]

Having a lining is not a bad idea, but I actually created this tutorial because of my friend's daughter who is undergoing cancer treatment. Her daughter wears these knit hats often when she is not wearing her wig (I made several). She says that the hat is comfortable as is, and has no complaints about the seems not being soft on her bald head.

[@carolg.6838]

That's good to know. Years ago I heard to make it double so there are no exposed seams. Maybe not everyone is so sensitive

[@gailorenstein6528]

Dear Cindy Love watching your tutorials!!! I have made so many of your snap bags. Everyone loves them. Thank you. I am planning to make some of your tutorials for cancer patients. I love your lace scarf (long) you wear while making your branie.. Do you sell the fabric can you do a tutorial for that thank you Thanks so much Gail

[@TheSpike1959]

Thank you. You make it look so easy I’m going to try this project for my twin 4yr old grandsons. I was lucky enough to have an Evole Babylock machine given to me for my Christmas present from my husband. I have yet to try the cover stitch part I’m still trying to master the serger part ! My question is on the differential feed part.... when sewing with fleece what setting should I use as it often stretches

[@RileyBlakeDesigns]

Great question! Simple Simon & Co. has a good post on differential feeds. You can find it here: www.simplesimonandco.com/2014/06/understanding-differential-feed-sergers.html/

[@simplyfood8773]

Thank you for sharing this. I dont have an A3 printer. I printed on A4 but not sure if that is the actual size or not. Could you please share the actual measurements for the adult beanie? 😊

[@susanschremser9800]

No serger and don’t want to zig zag seams, I would both pieces, making it lined.

[@marvmaki4953]

Wonderful pattern! How might I sew a soft thin lining? Thank you.

[@viddy8379]

Do you have method instructions also? If so Where?

[@kellybentley7414]

Does anyone have a good source of pretty polyknit fabrics? I was thinking a could make a nordic hat like the Skida brand

[@fohabasheer9253]

Thanks for this video, if you put all the dimensions will be so easy for us 🌹🌹

[@terryivey5374]

Im getting ready to try this. One more look ...I seem to see narrow serge. What settings are you using? Looks like a narrow 3 thread?

[@pglose1]

Which pattern should I use for a 21 inch head?

[@ladykenja2700]

- Was your serger cutting the trim section off ??? Very nice, easy project. Thanx 4 sharing.

[@terryivey5374]

This is a perfect cap :) Can it be done in fleece? No time to order and wait for delivery. My brother needs asap. I have only cotton and fleece on hand. The ever popular chemo complaint....I'm freezing. Can't get him warm.

[@RileyBlakeDesigns]

Terry, fleece would be a GREAT option!

[@uddaviyer2393]

👌👌👍

[@gayleherring2177]

What serger foot are you using when you do the rim?

[@LollyB1963]

How do you know which pattern too use for the head size is correct .. Also you only used two of the pattern piece so I’m taking it your using the medium or small pattern too demonstrate.

[@adriana7salmon152]

What if I don't have a serger? How can I make the on a regular machine?

[@Ronibearable]

When you folded for the cuff, you had the raw edge and then the fold. Did you cut off both the raw edge AND the fold with the knife, or sew it like a blind hem?

[@RileyBlakeDesigns]

Great question! Cindy left the knife up when she sewed the fold. You could also put the knife down and sew it like a blind hem.

[@terricullie2588]

Hi I'm unable to print out the pattern! Could you tell me the width and length of the adult medium pattern?

[@cheryljalocha8921]

Does the stretch of the fabric go across the beanie pattern. ?

[@marykayharman6577]

If you don't have a serger can this be made on a regular machine? Love it.

[@RileyBlakeDesigns]

Yes. Try using a zig-zag stitch on your regular machine

[@marykayharman6577]

@@RileyBlakeDesigns Thank you.

[@griseldiazdeleonramirez2162]

hello- question... if i'd like it lined, do I just cut two of the pattern pieces and sew them together? i'm trying to figure out the border with the lined inside.

[@carolg.6838]

I know there are directions. Try searching sewing chemo hats without exposed seams. Many years ago a lady was making them to donate. Seams would irritate some peope undergoing chemo.

[@karentm6313]

What were the settings on the serger that use sewed the beanie ?

[@deirdrerobbins856]

Asking the same question. What setting did you use. K have the baby lock also. Thank you for doing this. A friend of mine just asked me to make her a chemo beanie

[@janpiacentini2878]

Do you need a serger in order to make these or can you use a regular sewing machine?

[@Thepilateschick]

Could you make 2 so they are lined and put one inside the other

[@RileyBlakeDesigns]

Great idea! I'm sure you could!

[@easyrunner60]

Where do you get the pattern?

[@genecullie3011]

What if I don’t have a serger?

[@loridavison6672]

I don't have a serger, can we use a regular sewing machine? BTW Thank you for a fun tutorial.

[@kellymorris8088]

Yes, you can use a traditional sewing machine

[@RileyBlakeDesigns]

Yes. Use a knit stitch or zig zag stitch on your regular sewing machine.

did you print the first page with the picture on it?? bottom right corner has a square ,, that square needs to be a perfect 1 inch when it is printed at the right scale for sizes

[@gailmclean2735]

@@genevieveanandappa20 i used swim fabric also..so the super 4 way stretch might have made the difference too. There really is a huge difference between the large and Med. Started with large for her and it was huge!!! Hope you were able to sort it!

[@genevieveanandappa20]

is the medium one for a baby?

[@knittingknut]

Nice video but it always amazes me that people demonstrate cutting without any discussion of placing the pattern to preserve as much left over fabric as possible. It’s kind of wasteful because fabric scraps, if large enough can be used for other projects.

[@cherylhowes7894]

Oh my goodness I don't know what's going on with your video but it's all black yet when I run my finger to move to take video forward I can see you. This is very strange and I'm disappointed.
