Quick & Easy Chunky Beanie - Crochet Tutorial

[@sarahperea337]

For future crocheters who have issues with the sizing because it’s a bit small, I did a few more increases to adjust the size. My round 2 had 24 stitches, my round 3 had 32 and my round 4 had 46 stitches and then I DC all around until the right length, came out the perfect one size fits all beanie!!

[@melissy1]

Thank you so much!

[@ReiniDti]

@melissy1 ofc but you might wanna do an extra layer of DC's between round 5-6 so its longer and do an extra layer of DC's with a smaller hook size at the end, it makes it look so much better!

I've used this to make two hats so far. Easiest PRETTY pattern I've tried yet. For those complaining about no oral instructions, maybe the person making this great tutorial is deaf (like me) ... or maybe stutters ... or maybe just doesn't like to talk on videos. It would be a shame to not have this awesome tutorial, just because the person making it doesn't include oral instructions.

[@critters_and_creatures]

I'm a beginner crocheter and can I just say WOW of all the beginner hat tutorials out there (especially for the fuzzy Bernat yarn I was using) your video was without doubt the best! Clear, detailed, excellent close-ups of how to do each stitch, great lighting so it was very visible, and fun friendly music! Also I loved how you showed how to "feel" for the stitches even when it is fuzzy yarn like that, as I was really struggling to see where the next stitch would go. I had so much fun with this pattern that I finished the whole hat in one day! Thank you!!! ❤

[@AmberTrueAK]

i unraveled twice because each time i finished row 4 all i had made was a flat potholder that folded into a perfect semi circle. I think im following her exactly at the slip stitch, chain, and connecting points, and following stitch pattern. Any idea what i could be doing wrong?

Nice hat & tutorial! For the complainers on the music and no voice just turn down the volume and follow the instructions on the screen, find solutions people don't be so negative, no one is perfect! People on You Tube are sharing their best, use what you can and what you can't move on.

[@chocolatetruffle1999]

Used this to make my first ever crochet project! Continued the DC so it would be longer to create a folded brim. Super happy!

omg thanks for the idea

[@jzeeworldstaysafe8497]

Wouldn’t we continue with HDC? Or DC?

[@AutumnK]

@@jzeeworldstaysafe8497 Continue with the DC, and still just do 2 rows of HDC at the end.

[@franwiseman4757]

I just made this beanie. It me a lot longer than 20 minutes but I enjoyed it. I am slow. I made it longer, with 10 rows of HDC and a trim on the edge. I added a pom pom on top. I think my stitches may be tighter but the gauge seemed correct. It's really cute. Wish I could add a picture. thanks so much.

[@valeriehopkins36]

If I want this hat to be larger like 21” do I keep DC in every st until this is achieved? Then finish with HDC?

[@lovemejayc]

I added another row of increases. DC, DC, DC, 2DC. I also added another row of DC before the rows of HDC. Not sure if that’s correct but it worked okay for me!

[@shellysalazar9351]

Grew video!!! I was wondering if I wanted to make it bigger to fit my head, do I just need follow I believe it was row 3 where you showed the measuring tape and increase the number ? And what pattern would you recommend if I wanted to do 3 colors ? 😊

To adjust the size I increased until 46sts. It’s the PERECT one size fits all beanie :)

[@KhadijaHassan-xj6ou]

Really helped me thank you !

[@paulagreco1472]

Where and how would I make this hat maybe 2” bigger around circumstance for a man? Love the pattern

[@irmar]

Ifyou see at 07:24, she has completed the flat part, and says: " My measurement is 9.5. The complete circumference will be 19 inches" That's when you need to do another round with increases, until your circumference is the size of the man's head. And then stop increasing and continue with the pattern as given.

[@pinapple4087]

i adore how simple and easy to follow this is!! thank you op 😊❣️

[@amritamukherjee8702]

Hi, I am following the instruction as shown by you. The edge somehow ends up coming straight and not a curve like your’s.. can you help?

[@LayTOC-2028]

You are a wonderful teacher! I have watched many others and they aren't as beginner friendly. The talk too much and it distracts me from the actual tutorial. Thank you so much! I finally, after a multitude of times made a wonderful beanie!

this was super helpful. thanks!

[@anniejoseph7672]

Thank u❤👌 very easy & quick completed my Beanie within two hours

[@AmberTrueAK]

where did i mess up? by the end of round 4 i have a flat circle, an exact semi circle when i fold it in half. i have to unravel again and figure where i went wrong

[@AmberTrueAK]

i did it again and i still just made a circle instead of something that curves like a hat it looks like a potholder. i want to make this hat so badly what am i doing wrong?😭

[@crochettoz]

Keep going! The first 4 rounds have increases to make the circle bigger, so it will be flat. The next rounds have no more increases so it will start to curve in.

[@AmberTrueAK]

@@crochettoz i thought yours looked curved in the video after 4 rounds? Thank you so much for responding, i will keep going and see how it goes. Ill share when im complete!

This was quick made the hat in one andhalf hours instead of regular yarn takes 2 1/2 hours. I did 10 rows dc instead of 7 and delete 2 hds rows make it longer andsc on the last row I use size 8mm hook on thesize 6 yarn bulky nice

How many stitches at the end of round 2

[@ritabramhall4948]

Do wish you had a PDF available.....

[@ThatLittlePickle]

Mine didn’t come out rounded, more tapered? Any suggestions on why?

[@kjlehman9155]

Could you please tell me what the measurement after row 4 means?? Does doubling the measurement, tell you how large the circumference will be....the circumference of the head that it will fit?? Thanks

[@crochettoz]

Yes, exactly. It will give you the circumference of the hat. For a snug hat, it should be smaller than the head circumference because it will stretch. So a 19-20” hat will fit a child or adult with 20-22” head.

[@annekurschner7814]

If I wanna make the beani a little bit smaller how should I change the roung patterns?

[@jntnrmn]

I agree w some, if the music is a problem for you, turn down the volume. Normally I prefer oral instruction w the written but this gal did a superb job showing what needed to be done. This may have been one of the best tutorials me. I struggle immensely w patterns so I whole heartedly thank you for your great talent and teaching skill!

What should you do if the hat is too small after the 4th round

Rip it out and start again. One of my friends asks me "What are you ripping out today?" We all do it. Best to just start over.

Um for some reason my hat is half the size it should be it covers half my head and it is not long enough. Anyone know how to fix it?

[@crochettoz]

RND means Round and DC means Double Crochet. Good luck! 🙂

[@sarahk8953]

Is it fine used a N-15 hook for super bulky Velvet yarn

[@crochettoz]

I tried an N-15 hook and the hat came out a little big on me, but still wearable. It would be a good size for someone with a larger head or lots of hair!

[@lesleyobrien3907]

Thank you.

[@manikankanadg]

Also I am a beginner..have hook of size 5 only...so please suggest me if I use 6ply wool with your tutorial would that be suitable for a man? Thank you in advance 😊

[@crochettoz]

If you use a size 5 hook and thinner yarn, your hat will come out smaller than mine. You could try doubling your yarn (using two strands at once) to make the yarn thicker and see if that works! Also, if your hook is too small, you can try to crochet loosely to make the stitches bigger. You might just have to experiment to make it work.

[@manikankanadg]

@@crochettoz thank you. ..

[@GratefulGrammySandy]

To make for a 5 year old, should I use a smaller hook or perhaps DC 8 in the magic circle rather than 10? I'm a beginner...

[@crochettoz]

If you start with fewer DC in the magic circle, the hat might come out pointier instead of the rounder shape I have. I would use a smaller hook instead, but not too much smaller.

[@midships_weirdo]

If you have the option of using smaller yarn, I would suggest a 6mm or 6.5mm hook with a lighter yarn (medium/worsted weight). The weight and suggested hook size should be on the label. Best of luck!
