How to Crochet Easy Baby Newborn Hat

[@bonnieperry6904]

I have enjoyed Mikey and his videos. Lots of videos can seem either too slow or too fast at times. Just pause the video when needed. I usually watch the videos first, until I am pretty certain that I understand the pattern. Patience is key. Good luck all.

[@haileyzibell1191]

I have never crocheted before... and with watching this video I was able to complete a newborn hat for my nephew in one night. it was alittle fast so I would just pause to keep up. but I will definitely be watching your other videos for other projects!

[@user-xz3dn2nt5n]

I absolutely love Mikey's tutorials! Knit/ Crochet has been in my family for decades. I, however, have only just started learning. One of the first tutorial's I watched is this one. He is very informative and explains everything beautifully. In fact, I learned so much from his tutorial's, that I made my first baby sweater....my cousin loved it for his baby. Thank you! Please keep making videos.

[@AGoddess18]

I really appreciate the care and details you put into all your tutorials. Thank you!

[@janetdean1377]

Love your tutorial. This made up so cute! I make various preemie and newborn hats and blankets and donate them; usually to our local hospital. You are a blessing as well. God bless and keep you in His care.

[@kellilerch2778]

Thank you so much for posting this tutorial! This is a really fun and rewarding hat to do because it comes together very quickly, and using the drawings you created of the stitches going into clusters and between the clusters, it was extremely easy to follow. I feel that you did a really thorough job of explaining everything. If I needed to do so, I just paused or rewound the tutorial a bit, to allow myself to catch up with you. I am not a very advanced crocheter, so this was very rewarding to me because it was easy to do, but so pretty when I was finished. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@rogpelletier1748]

Tysvm... Love the pause button to catch up. First baby hat I made... I am new to crocheting.

[@oh72911]

These are so cute! Love that there are 4 sizes

[@staceymillar4165]

What a fab tutorial!!I had to pause as you are a little quicker than me but very easy to follow....saving this and keeping for all future baby hats 👍💾

[@Madcat4445]

In round 4 I got 20 clusters instead of 19 so I counted the clusters that he had and it was 20 not 19 so if you get 20 it's correct.

[@lizbeth2loa]

Chloe Clarke. I got 20 too, did your hat come out ok if you left 20 instead of 19?

[@JendeCali]

Good...I redid this 4-5 times and paused after each stitch practically-and always got 20! Sheesh!

[@lilylangman5620]

Thank you , I had same problem, was driving crazy! LOL

[@lovelytanja]

You are a darling, thank you. Thought I was going crazy 😂

[@DrivinAndSingin]

I am so glad it wasn't just me. If he had actually counted the clusters, as he did in the other rounds, I wouldn't have done this round four times!!!

[@durango15c]

love the pattern also love the way you explain yourself on the video makes it so easy to crochet.

[@liapeterson1051]

Thanks Mikey! Just made my first hat in about an hour. Had to pause and rewind a few times, but overall your tutorial was easy to follow, and my finished hat looks great.

[@Michelle.05]

I absolutely LOVE this tutorial! Hats are my weakness for some reason but I "got" this pattern with no issues, thank you!! I will be making a few for a baby shower gift, and also making some for the Mom To Be to donate to the hospital where her daughter will be born.

[@victoriamurphy3771]

No, Sir, I am sorry for my comments of frustration. Once I read the hints in the comments below I was able to slow the speed of the video and follow along with you! I completed three hats since then! You really do all you can to make the video clear. please accept my apologies. Thank you!

[@bonnieperry6904]

Thanks again for an adorable and easy to follow hat video.

[@patty2883]

Love the way you teach. I have learned so much listening to you. Thank you so much...

[@deborahm4484]

loving this hat mikey.made it in a thicker yarn came out lovely happy crocheting from Ireland love all your tutorials

[@tamiwhitley9580]

I love all your tutorials, they make learning to easy. Thanks a bunch!!

[@lilmishyOranna]

Thanks for another great video, Already made 2 blankets and now my second hat for #2 due next month. Always my go to for a new stitch or pattern.

[@emmaarama500]

I love this...so helpful I had fun just finished two hats in less than an hour. Thank you Mikey😍

[@cynthiahartman8965]

I did just as much tearing out as stitching. The first hurdle was getting 19 clusters. I kept getting 20 clusters. I figured out the the first cluster placement is where the confusion is. I really don't remember what I had to change to get 19 but eventually got there. There hat is easier once you get past that round of 19 clusters. I stopped at 4", did the round of single crochet, then added a last row of 2 double crochet in each stitch to create a ruffled edge. Also started the base with one color, built the hat with a second color, then created the ruffle with the first color. Just adorable!

[@AnnaMillett89]

Gonna make some of these for our Children's Hospital NICU! thanks for the tutorial!

[@hayxh]

Perfect video for a beginner. Thankyou so much for taking the time to show us. Quick question for anyone who may be able to answer. It's 4.5inch from top to bottom, but how big does the first initil 4 rows have to come to? My yarn is slightly smaller than the yarn used in this video so I believe I may be getting the size wrong.

[@pammonaghan6038]

great pattern, wonderful presentation

[@norma0625]

I love your tutorial I was able to finish in an hour thank you sooooo much.

[@alanasweet4465]

Sooo easy!!! Thank you for the great tutorial! I just made one with fuzzy yarn - sooooo adorbs!!!😍👍🙏💖

[@yalilybrazon]

By the end of Row 4 you definitely end up with 20 clusters... give Mikey a break he didn't follow his own rule of counting the clusters before moving on lol ... just carry on ... 20 clusters is correct! Ignore the diagrams all together... they don't really help 'him help you learn how to do it' (min: 2.30) lol ... they don't really matter ...you just follow the steps he is taking in the video... if you think he is going too fast, pause the video to allow you time to follow each step. At the end you WILL end up with a cute little hat. Thank you Mikey for kindly sharing your tutorials and patterns with this confused and frustrated Crochet Crowd :-)

[@lorrenelemaster1802]

For those who think he is too fast, click on settings and choose speed then choose 0.25.

[@veeholmes4407]

Never knew you could do that on videos. This one's fine but there are a few I'd use it on. Thanks.

[@Alyth85]

Cute!! I️ am using this pattern to donate red hats for Little Hats, Big Hearts 💕 thank you for the tutorial!

[@Nicki11366]

Alyth me too!!

[@averyericam]

Me too

[@rosesperfumelace]

I like this pattern. I did this in a rose color then instead of just a plain single crochet on the end I incorporated picot and changed color to white.

[@florimeador7255]

It came out so cute!! Thank you

[@jjknitter6247]

the pattern is lovely and quick. good for donation. thank you!

[@ИлияТемирбаева]

Мне очень нравится ваш МК👍👍👍Супер!Спасибо большое!

[@lorim8070]

Please emphasize the chain in between, I missed that and had to restart twice till I realizes there was a chain between the clusters.

[@nikiemartin827]

around the 9:30 mark i think he switches what he's called the "between" and the "space"?? so fast and so confusing! easy pattern but not a great tutorial for beginners!

[@paulinenelson1226]

Thank for teaching me crochet you are the best

[@vib0oo]

Thanks for this tutorial, it was simple enough to follow as a beginner ^.^ I did have the 20 cluster thing happen with row 4 like the other people did but me being me I didn't want to re-do a whole row so I just removed the extra cluster and it fixed itself, no problem :) hat turned out great :D

[@rosadangelo8272]

Thank you. Really enjoyed making this project

[@emerlym5865]

hi,teacher,May I know on which row I f to increase dc to make bigger?

[@Andi.Plans2]

Would it be better or more secure if I added another round of single crochet???

[@LindaFromMySelfCareStudio]

Thank you for the diagram for the newborn hat - that is the only way I was able to understand this pattern (first time ever for that so it was exciting), however, my granddaughter is in the NICU and I need to make the smaller 5-6 pound and I can't get it from the written directions to save my life. It doesn't seem any different but is supposed to end up smaller. I tried drawing my own diagram, but it must be the () and such that are confusing me. I don't know, but I end up with the 7-9 pound size again.

[@LindaFromMySelfCareStudio]

I think I just found I needed! Thank you~

[@yvettehobbs1063]

Would the size alter any if the clusters were 3 dc instead of 2 starting round 4?

[@mellodysharon7761]

Very good... I just learned how to crochet and I only have acN 9.00mm hook... so how do I figure out the pattern for that size hook? HELP!!!

[@tammydewey113]

if u look at the diagram he doesn't go into the last one he stop right before the last cluster. hope this helps

[@deannadavis5415]

What size and kind of yarn did you use and also hook?

[@joyceprivette2732]

Love this pattern and thank you for the video!! Do you have an adult size pattern video for this anywhere, or instructions? Would love to use for chemo caps. 🙂

[@cherylbardsley5347]

Amazing tutorial xxx

[@victoriamurphy3771]

Sorry for my rant below. I was not aware that I could slow down the video. Thanks for that tip. Lorrene Lemaster, and to all who said it was actually 20 clusters, not 19. I watched and counted as he crocheted and he did end up with 20. So, I felt better and will continue on. Have a great day. Thanks

[@daynaperry6388]

Thank you so much Mikey! :)

[@lailajaffaone871]

What's the hook size used?

[@amandadodd9687]

love this hat! Where can I find the pattern for this one and the various sizes? Thanks!

[@Mzdiana82]

I just made this fairly quickly and got 20 clusters not 19. I continued on and the hat came out Beautiful. 💖🖒💯👏👏👏

[@georgialongdon9350]

Hi, I'm new to crochet. I am using Red Heart Soft. The yarn may be a little "finer" (worsted medium 4 )than the one you are demonstrating. Will that make a difference in the end result size? How can I compensate for it?

[@mariambilqees1346]

on round four I kept getting 20 clusters as u say to do 5 in last 5 gaps but on ur diagram u have done only 4, is it only 4 we do towards end

[@elly1761]

Thank you so much for that tutorial

[@sarahheales7323]

Am I supposed to have 19 or 20 clusters on round 4?? I have re-done this round 3 times and keep ending up with 20??

[@anncadano3463]

what type of yarn did you use.

[@EchisPyramidum]

I am Mikey's fan. trust me. I have tried a lot of his projects and it was such a fun experiment. I have done beanie before by learning from other people videos like yolada, bella, naztazia, wolly wonder... and son on. I could make it easily. This time, I tried this one n I couldn't do it!!!!!. I m stuck at round 4. LOL. just couldnt get it right. seemed correct first increase, 2nd part n at the end, I got 20 or 21. I should be honest with u. Don't know whats wrong with round 4 increase. I paused n restart for about 5 times. I m quite used to yr fast speech. but this time I failed. I m just lost n frogged it back everytime. A bit fast n confusing... now I am just moved to other beanie videos. :))

[@Otacon-kc9wz]

I also got 20, but he removed the last cluster before slip stitching to begin the next round.

[@jovelynmarcos9060]

thank you..ive done 1 hat for my new born nephew..

[@rileyanimates4572]

thanks this is great

[@rebeccabevill1908]

I’m taking my time, I think your great I’m doing good, thank You

[@nv8050]

Way too fast for a tutorial. So many things are unclear like whether or not we're going into the actual chain when we go in the middle of one cluster or if we're going underneath the chain itself. I've had to restart so many times I am about to throw the entire thing across the room. I may as well just use a written pattern because the point of a video is to be able to see what is happening.

[@dollnotlove]

a Varga

[@FELIZEVEE]

Wow I thought it was just me....I've restarted the vid like 10 times and still don't really understandbrow 4....smh

[@musicaldancedreamer]

I keep getting 20 clusters instead of 19 what am I doing wrong?

[@stephanienavarro9530]

me too. I did it twice and keep getting 20.

[@MsSharkie12]

Same, done Round 4 three times and got 20 each time.

[@pm5039]

Feedback is good and should not be taken personally. That is my opinion. It is too fast even tho one can slow it down with settings. We have choices meaning there are many tutorials on U-tube channel who do a great teaching job.

[@lucyhernandez3408]

can you do Single crochet new born hat thank you god bless you i love all the video you do

[@princessjasso1351]

If I want a bigger size, how should I complete rounds 3 and 4?

[@osnapibinsmoking]

I am wondering the same thing. Just going to try it and see.

[@emmarush7471]

Mikey could you please do this hat in adult sizeLove your channel and tutorials

[@daniellejmcfan4forever994]

Caron simply soft yarn be used to make this hat

[@terrijaundrill8618]

I made this. Think your diagram was confusing like once past the very confusing next 5 double etc it was easy. Preying it fits

[@yvettehobbs1063]

Okay, I'm confused...when does it start to curve down? I'm following the pattern, and all I'm making is a really large circle, there's no curve down

[@debbiecastonguay8758]

what hook size

[@swtfee]

Oh I am glad its wasn't just me too !! I kept getting 20 cluster stitches on round four. 😤 Otherwise not a bad video.

[@kimberlybritt9708]

I thought it was a good pace. It didn’t say for beginners so he went at a pace that any crocheter would be able to follow

[@allyheart682]

you where going really fast but i still liked it

[@rubyred1ism]

I am usually not one to complain about a free tutorial as you spend your time doing them for nothing in return, but PLEASE DO slow it down a tad bit, you seem awfully rushed. I simply cannot see a thing you're doing and I'm not getting the count or the placement right. It looks a horrible mess if I don't stop repeatedly just to check it again and again. Also, Mikey, You are precious and I just love you!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You can use the Slow Motion feature on KZbin if I am burning through this too quickly. It slows me down. Some complain I go far too slow, others too fast. I cannot find a balance that matches everyone's needs without a complaint one way or another. I'm sorry I caused you inconvenience with this.

[@sewwoollyltd4509]

@the crochet crowd. Mikey you never have to apologise for ANYTHING that you post online. I for one would not have my yarn and haberdashery business and have crochet commissions that I am working on all the time if it wasn't for the fact that i found you online nearly 3 years ago. I am so grateful to you and I owe you everything. You are an amazing tutor. You are also A really generous, kind, loving, funny man. You have also helped me through the 2 darkest times of my life. I'm not just saying that it is A fact. I am not wanting to tell you about it on KZbin though as it is to private. Thank-you for all that you do. love always From A really happy hooker in the UK.

[@mayolson2]

I use this all the time( the motion gear). I wish people would investigate what all this stuff is on You Tube before they chastise the person doing all the work creating videos.

[@gwenpryor]

@@mayolson2 I agree with you. It is unfortunate that some people just don't think.

[@victoriamurphy3771]

Very frustrating video because of the speed of it and all the "in betweens and the spaces". I am on the fourth row, have torn it out four times. I have attempted to write the instructions so I can understand them. I have 16 clusters in the third row and keep getting 20 in the fourth. My first cluster is in between a cluster, next in a space, next in between. For the next 5 clusters in spaces, do you start in the space right after the cluster that is in between a cluster? I did. Then I put a cluster in the space right after it and in the next 4 spaces after that. I counted the spaces to be sure that I would end up with 5 spaces at the end, which I did, but kept getting 20 clusters. If I don't do it like this, I end up with three spaces at the end. I'm sorry, this looks like a very nice hat but there are so many other instructional videos for hats that this one will not be completed because it is just to hard to understand with your drawings and in betweens and spaces. Not a novice, but made to feel very stupid.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm really sorry.

[@sarahholland310]

I'm just trying to jump into crocheting after years of lying dormant and switching to knitting, and must say this is not a "beginner friendly" video although it was the top video that popped up for me when I searched those kinds of KZbin videos. Way too far away from the camera and way too fast :(

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm really sorry I did that to you.

[@maryevenegas2173]

I really wish you would pause and move your hand out of the way so we can see exactly what the Row looks like.....sometimes it gets very confusing what you say you are doing and it would help tremendously if you would just move your hand so we can see what you actually did and what the row/stitches are suppose to look like! But over all I enjoy your videos very much and have already made alot of this hats to donate to my local hospital! Would also love to see MORE hats for Baby Boys, as they all seem to be more suitable for Girls than Boys! One more thing, I thought this video was the Preemie size hat but at the end you said "7-9 lbs", that confused me! Would really like to see the "Printed Pattern' for ALL the Different sizes.....thank you.

[@rosiesaunders3334]

Omg those diagrams look so confusing to me. 🙈😟

[@samandalishow]

Sloooooooowwwww dooooooowwwwwnnnnnnmnnn

oooookay... I've taken a lot of heat on this tutorial. I'm sorry I was too quick.

[@lorim8070]

Ah hah I see there is a method to your madness Mikey!

[@AlexisJefferson-nf9hr]

Can you please slow down please. It’s hard to follow. I’m not good in patters and diagrams. I’m new in crochet

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You are able to control the speed of the videos. There is a settings button that normally looks like a gear ⚙️ that has a selection for playback speed. You can slow him down to go at a speed you are comfortable with I also suggest turning on closed captions so when you pause the video so you can catch up - the instructions for that frame will be paused for you. Hope that helps. Happy Stitching- Wendy

[@katrinabartley2018]

SLOW DOWN!! please your tutorials are great but too fast

[@katrinahazlewood1532]

too fast!

[@rosaybarra1610]

Your tutorial is way to fast. A lot of things are very unclear.

[@rickylover5013]

This video is really unclear and frustrating and that’s the opposite of its purpose

[@seraphimb3700]

First, you spend way too much time explaining the diagram. I get it. The pink are the increases and they go between the double crochets in the clusters. An 18min video and you spent 5min of it explaining over and over and over. I had to skip forward because, quite frankly, it got annoying. Explain it, show your diagram then get to it and if you need to refer back, to show what you meant while you're doing it, that's great! But reiterating over and over and over is unnecessary, in my opinion. Second, this video keeps lagging for me. Did anyone else have this issue?

[@sarahangell3463]

No offense, but I really don't like the diagram. It's really confusing for me in so many ways, and considering that I'm a beginner at this. I'm trying to make a hat for my nephew, but this is not going to work. I'm sorry, but maybe you could make a video without the diagram.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You can always read the instructions from the pattern if you don't wish to see my handmade diagram. I only do the diagrams to show where the stitches are leading. Up to you. If you prefer not to have the diagram, just fast forward where I talk about my diagram and just hook along in the segments where I am demonstrating the rounds.

[@sarahangell3463]

Alright, I'm sorry if it may seem if I was rude in any way. Thank you

[@melodymaben5917]

Way to fast ugh

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm sorry Melody. :( Michael

[@hollyp.6201]

Please DON'T slow down! I'm so tired of videos that go soooo slow that I almost fall asleep. I'd rather pause to catch up than have to wait. I love these hats & as always, Mikey did a good job. The diagrams are confusing to me so I just skipped over that part, he could've left it out & been fine.

[@versoalhill9901]

Just completely stopped making this hat. Way too fast 💨 I’ll find another one

[@redfred1016]

so many tutorials but the work is so rushed and sloppy.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Sorry you feel that way. Maybe there is another crochet host that can satisfy your needs. - Michael

[@rosiee.1372]

You just go too fast. I've started this hat twice & its still not right. Moving on to another crocheter who takes more time showing & explaining a pattern.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Understood. Thank you for the feedback. You will definitely find another great host that can match what you prefer. Have a terrific day and thanks for the feedback.

Talk way to much

[@lauracopp5336]

Normally you have some wonderful tutorials, but this one really sucks. Not understanding what you're doing you're focusing on that diagram and not showing us what needs to be done. If you want us to learn how to do diagrams than make up tutorial on how to do just that. So since I cannot see what you were doing I have to give you a thumbs down on this video

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm really sorry about that.
