How to Crochet an Ear Flap Beanie - Tutorial

[luvsports8]

I made one for myself and it came out tight... i suppose i have tight stitches.... To make it bigger, can i just add a couple increasing rounds?

very helpful. I have been working on this ear flap and now i know two different ways to make them. I especially like that you made an adult size hat. Wonderful.

Congratulations! I am stupid, but you just made me learn!

Thank you :)

[1991lnhs]

i did this hat in red for my friend. can you do it without the flaps or does it matter? it's going to be for a boy.

@1958DeeDot Thank you for the feedback :) Greatly appreciated, thank you!

[1958DeeDot]

@DzCrochetCreations You are welcome.

I love this! I am now hooked on crocheting in the round!

I've been trying to make a beanie instead of a slouch hat for weeks! Woot!!!

I want to make more! Awesome!

[DzCrochetCreations]

@poetspice So happy I could help ;) I would love to see some photos of your finished Beanies!!! :)

[poetspice]

@DzCrochetCreations

I posted them in my video. I am not sure how to connect a picture to a yt page. Or can you? EEK

[siulasmto]

I self taught myself how to do this with your tutorial and decided to make these as gifts (with a few embellishments of course!). My first 3 came out perfect. The 4th one came out like a beret and the 5th one had a weird, flat shape to it...is there a difference in the yarns? I used 100% acrylic on all, but different colors and brands.

[DzCrochetCreations]

@siulasmto Some brands although say they are the same ply seem to be flimsy like for example the Caron Simply Soft. If you switch yarn to a more softer feel or you seem to be crocheting lose I would just go down in hook size and that may help as well :)

[kliinsman]

Wanderful video for beginers, very helpfull and explanation it' s clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much for this titorial, you are awesome teacher.

[DzCrochetCreations]

@kliinsman Thank you so much. It is greatly appreciated! :)

[pvaughndesigns]

Love the video.Your yarn looks so soft. Can you tell me what ply and brand?

Thanks!

[DzCrochetCreations]

@pvaughndesigns I am using red heart super saver and it is a 4-ply yarn.

[saber1960]

Wow I just made this beanie turned it upside down took the ear flaps and sewed on a button and made the cutest basket. My sister is going to love it. I put a bowl in the hat part. Thank you for this tutorial.

[DzCrochetCreations]

@saber1960 I would love to see a photo of that! It sounds very adorable, great job on your creativity!!! :)

[BornPhenomenon]

can you please do some videos showing how to do the individual stitches, slowly please? If you have one already, could you send me the video link please?

[DzCrochetCreations]

@BornPhenomenon Yes I will def do some! :)

[jjassy81]

That is a great idea to use a bobby pin as a stitch marker.

[DzCrochetCreations]

@jjassy81 cheap, quick and easy! ;) Thank you :)

[freedomplease]

@DzCrochetCreations I love using bobby pins. You can remove with one hand and keep stitching. Get video.

[nanaof4babies]

It took me a full day, because I kept messing up with the earflaps, but it was really easy, and only my second hat completed! Thank you so much, I must have watched this video 10 X through before I ever started! LOL Very easy to follow :O)

[DzCrochetCreations]

@nanaof4babies Your so welcome! Thank you :) Im happy to hear it was easy!!

[GingieLover]

I tried to make this hat for a 3 year-old, so I used a size H hook and dropped 1 increase, but the hat turned out very, very small (although I do crochet tightly). It barely fit my 16 month-old. If I would have followed the pattern exactly and just used a size H hook, would it have been the correct size for a small child?

[DzCrochetCreations]

@GingieLover Yes it should have fit properly doing it this way. I am sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I hope you have had success with it!

[MzCrochetDreams]

Hey D, when doing a childs size should we drop the hook size and stop decreasing at which round? Thanks

[DzCrochetCreations]

@MzCrochetDreams No I would just use a smaller hook :)

[kclark2100]

Is there a place you can buy crochet hook grippers?

[DzCrochetCreations]

@kclark2100 Yes, I have seen them at Hobby Lobby, and I believe Michaels carry's them as well.

[rebs64]

thank you so much D! I was wondering if you could show us how to make and attach a braided tie? Thanks

[CAPSandNOOSES]

@rebs64 How to make a Braid and attach to Crochet Hat or Cap Go to @tjw1963 Crochet Geek. SO VERY VERY simple

[rebs64]

@CAPSandNOOSES Thanks!!

[veronica5416]

I love your totorials and I love the hat, can you show how you would crochet a brim on a hat?

[kwmsmith]

Really enjoy your videos and this tutorial was right on time for me!!! I would love to see a tutorial on how you add the braiding to the ear flaps. You seem like such an awesome mom and you have such a great personality...GOD BLESS!!!

[Unseenwings]

The beenie looks great! I am a "Beaver" Leader in the Scouts Canada organization and thinking I would try to make a "Beaver" version for all our youth for Christmas. Hmmm...any ideas how to form a Beaver Shape tail to hang down the back of the neck?

[CAPSandNOOSES]

@Unseenwings Heidi @heidishowto offers wonderful crochet patterns, she has a cute beaver pattern for sale on her esty site Snappy Tots.
