@DougsGraphics Because you find it interesting and deep down you want to learn. Or you just wanted to leave a comment. Either way, thank you for watching and come back any time.
Thank you, thank you! I really appreciate your tutorials - this hat is awesome and you have shed light on an otherwise impossible thing for me to learn out of my book alone. I'm off to create!
Thanks for this video, after having read the previous message I want to say I have always used the chain 4 method but once I caught on to how to do the magic loop… I must say I like this method MUCH better because the opening at the top of the hat is truly as tight as you draw the yarn. I love this. Thanks. I found it to be a nice beanie that fit nicely unlike some of the hats on yarn sleeve inserts.
@GreyWolfEyes1222 I have internal memory around 30 GB. My other cameras have memory sticks, which I have several 16 and 32 GB sticks. I edit with Sony Vegas Pro.
Next time could you please show how to start the beanie using the chain 4 and join method? If you're going to give alternative ways to begin, it would really help if you also illustrated them.
@BamItzShellie You need to become familiar with the stitches before working on this hat. This tutorial was not made to teach stitches so you should be familiar with the basic stitches prior to attempting this cap.
@BamItzShellie Why are you yelling? Teresa has a whole channel with 100s of vids, several of which show basic methods in great detail. After much cursing and unraveling (everything takes practice!) I have now made 2 of these hats & am working on a pair of slippers & I didn't even know how to crochet a week ago. Thanks to these awesome vids I am now HOOKED on crochet! And there's my cheesy joke for the day. If I can do it, anyone can, trust me. Good luck!
Am new in this art and starting to love the crochet. Already I have done a hat and two bags. But I wonder if I have to cut the first color line when I'm adding the new color??? some one please explain me.
cute cap!!! Now here is a skill I wish they would have taught me in school. Its something I would actually use :) I see this isn't really a beginner thing though, I was hoping it might be easy but I see that isn't the case. I better start learning!!!
@Powder686 I have a playlist with beginner stitches and a beginner hat made with one color. I will send you the link to both. You do not have to learn all the stitches at once. The easy cap I have is made with the single crochet. You could practice the single crochet and then try out the cap. You will also be learning a crochet circle and rounds as with the cap.
If I was going to change colors every 3 rounds, would you suggest I work in a continuous spiral for each 3-round section, or still slip stitch and join every round?
@hippymobster You can still work the continual round for 3 rounds. It will be a much neater look. To even off each section, you will slip stitch to join when you change color. Attach the new color and work the continual round for the new color. There will be a slight blip when you start the continual round but it will not be real noticeable compared to a seam from joining each round.
I tried doing the magic loop, but I knew that was never going to work, so I chained four and then connected.
It was not the same size as yours as I was going along. so I did like 5-10 rows of single/increase crochets. But when I got to round nine, its the size of a baby hat!
I think I have a little bit thinner yarn than you.. I used a size 5.5 crochet hook. Should I just do all the rounds again on what I have until it's big enough?
@PeytonsProductions If you are using smaller yarn, you will need to work more increase stitches and rounds. An increase stitch is working 2 single crochet in the same stitch. You do not have to work a lot of stitches on each round, just make sure they are evenly worked.
Hi Teresa, i would like to make a "slouchy" beanie without the flat top, sort of a rounded top,what do you recommend i do? do you have pattern demostrating this?
I love how you joined rnd 1 with rnd 2, I've never seen it done that way and it looks so much smoother than i've ever done. thanks for sharing this pattern!
hi teresa.....pls help....i dont hav the hooks which is in alphabet sizes..mine is measured in millimeteres...so each alphabets represents which size mm can u tell me..?????3,3.5 ,4 ,4.5,5,5.5 which alphabets u r using for these sizes...pls do tell...
@ifri9999 The following are the 3 I use most of the time. There are going to be other brands that will use different numbers and letters so it may get confusing. I use Boye crochet hooks.
It's been 20 years since I crocheted, but I have decided to try a crochet my son a batman mask for Halloween. Your tutorial was among the most helpful, so I am going to start with this beanie cap and add earflaps. Do you have any advice for the "mask" part around the eyes & nose? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
@linfreud You could probably work a long chain for the eye openings, starting on one side, attach at the center, work the second chain and attach on the other side. Then work stitches around both eye openings.
I've been wanting beanies for awhile now because they are cool. They are like 15 bucks places so i thought why not just make it myself thanks for the help :) gonna try to make one this week
@verodc Hello Argentina! Thank you! I have a recent video posted showing how I made the grips. They are using pencil grips and flex tape used with animal and human first aid.
i am using all of the correct materials and my yarn may be a bit thinner, but at the end of the increasing rounds the circle is about the size of the palm of my hand, about 9cm diameter, if i keep single crocheting around, will it get bigger or stay that size? great tutorial by the way. i love your cupcake hat one as well.
@MrTomtom147 What I would suggest is for you to work one or two more increase rounds. It is possible that you naturally crochet tight so you may need to modify.
I can't get past the first (magic) loop. It's hard to see what you do after you wrap the yarn around your fingers and slip the needle under the first piece of yarn...
Hi..I have been following some of your tutorials & they are very helpful, especially for a beginner! I was wondering what should I do if i wish to use a different size of yarn (super bulky (6)) instead of the one you use...is it any possible to adjust the gauge?
My hat is flat at the top but I am having problems with making longer going down. Was I suppose to use the single crochet to make it longer right I was using half double crochet to to go down. I'm still really confused still, its driving me crazy that I can't get this.
@pumpkinseed45 It is made with the single crochet but you should be able to use the half double crochet as well. If the sides are not forming, then you must still be increasing which is making the top of the cap continue in size. Count your stitches and compare to written instructions posted on my crochet blog for an accurate stitch count.
@pumpkinseed45 After stopping and starting about 10 times for the last two days I think I finally fixed it. It looks better then it did I'm going to keep going but I had to stop after today my arm started hurting from fixing it so many times I guess. This is the first time I have ever tried to make any thing like this so I probably over did it. I just wanted to make sure I got it right.
im confused, i dont understand how to make the magic loop can you please make a tutorial or somthing?and i also dont understand you doing the counting......what is that for , srry im a beginner :) plz help im all confused.
I am new to crochet and I know how to so a chain a single and a double. I want to learn how to the more fun stitches so my hats won't be the same boring stitch over and over. Do you have any other hat videos and do you have other stitch videos? If you do could you send them to ke or maybe make a response. thanks!!
I'm so glad you showed me how to join colors I have been doing it all wrong this whole time I have been making a baby blanket. That is so much easier then cutting and ting it together.
@marhans777 The easiest way to increase is by using a larger crochet hook. If that is not enough, you will work more increase stitches and round. This is where you work 2 single crochet in the same stitch.
What is the size in mm of the flat top please, I am using a 4mm hook with 8 ply yarn. After doing up to round 9, it still looks very small. Thank you.
@BETTER4THEM I am crocheting around the ring. The view may not be the best, but it is visible and you can see that I am working around the ring. I can send you the beginner crochet. If you are a beginner, you will want to learn the basic stitches.
@HeatherBug2007 You can easily modify the size by doing less increase rounds. I suggest you stop increasing between round 6 or 7. There will be some trial and error involved depending on the size of your yarn and hook.
I love how clear this video is, the only question I have is how do you join the colours? Do you let the white just hang while you use the other colour or do you cut it or knot it?
@shelshi1991 With this tutorial, I am letting the yarn hang and then picking it back up again, carrying it on the inside of the cap. You can cut the yarn each round if you prefer and sew the tails in.
TY so much for the tips!!! I ended-up using a bigger hook and adding a couple of extra increases only... That worked perfectly! I've successfully made a two different types of hats, thanks to your videos! Thanks again!
your videos are great i have watched about 20 videos yesterday and could not do the hats until i watched ur video, thanks so much for dis tutorial....
This is my first time making hats. I've been doing this for 20-something years (my mom taught me). I've made blankets, doilies, potholders, etc...
What I'm having trouble with is size. I have four children & want to make them cute lil hats to wear, but I have not been successful in getting the sizes right. And when I try to increase more to make the hat bigger, it just stays flat and doesn't start curling at all. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong... Any tips to get me back on track? Ty, and I
@n2damystic32 When your work continues to get larger and lay flat, that means you are increasing. You will need to stop working increase stitches. I have found that 50-75 stitches are what you will need for an adult size cap using 4-ply yarn. The size crochet hook you use will make the cap larger or smaller so you will need to adjust according.
hi tjw..i was just wondering on round 10-24 do we just sc all the way around until i get my length or do i just keep on doing round 9...6sc in each and increase on the 7th? Help me...thanks
@izzybelle105 I am estimating an additional 6-10 stitches on another increase round. What you are doing is evenly increasing around. You will divide the last round by the number you choose and increase incrementally.
I started this hat and got about a good amount into the hat and I have seams where I changed the color and you can see it almost like a indentation. Is it supposed to look like that? And that the seams have shifted a bit so its kind of diagonal and now the last 4 rows are looser where the seam is. Oh what have I done?? lol yours looks totally seamless. I am going to start a new hat I WILL conquer this hat. :^) Can you help me?
I have I am trying to get to learn how to do more than chain stitch. This video assumed that I knew what the magic loop was and didn't explain why or how to use 2 strands. I was lost and confirms for me that crotchet is not for me as I just don't get it. What is a single crochet. An I hook mine are are numbers either single numbers or metric like 3.5 - I am hoping that thse are the same as knitting needle sizes so why letters?
@harbleblaster I would suggest that you become familiar with the basic crochet stitches first and then come back to this project. I will send you the beginner playlist.
@MindlessKai You will continue following the instructions using the same color and increasing as necessary. Changing colors is the same if you do 2 rounds or 5 rounds
im stuck on the magic loop, she turns her hands just a little so i cant tell what im suppose to do. i love the video but i cant get past step one :( please help
My first hat looks great and now I'm making another one. And I got stuck! I can't figure out how to get 27 stitches on round 3. Round 2 leaves us with 20 stitches, if we increase every 3, the increases would be on stitches 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 1 sc on 19 and 20. But that equals 26. I don't know what I did on my first hat that made it work but now I can't figure it out!
@westcoastlovely Just work an extra increase stitch. Sometimes I will throw in an extra increase at the end, which will throw off a multiple. The stitch count does not have to be exact as long as it fits.
@tjw1963 Thanks so much for responding. I figured that's what I would do, just want to make sure it was ok. It's awesome that you put so much detail in the instructions and answer questions!! I love my new hobby!! Thank you!!!!
@sbrisby25: I've found that it helps to pull on your hat a little to even out the stitches. It's a little harder to explain, but don't pull from the top of the hat, you want to pull from the sides and sort of tug all the way around to get it to even out.
Hey Teresa, you say this hat has a little bit of a flatter top to it. What makes it have a flatter top? I'm sure it's the way you increase, but I'm not sure. I've been trying different hat patterns lately and sometimes I get hats that are more pointy at the top, which is the opposite of the flat top. Can you explain please!!?? Thanks!
Hi Teresa, thank you so much for posting these videos! I am somewhat new to crocheting and your instructions are so easy to follow.
I'm having a bit of a problem though. My hat is coming out way too small and 'stiff'. I'm using a K hook and I checked my yarn and it says 4-ply worsted. So, I'm wondering what the problem could be. Could it simply be that my yarn is the cheap 'super value' kind?
@westcoastlovely You mentioned you are using a size K crochet hook. That should make the hat larger so I think that you may have missed some increase stitches. I would suggest that you double check the stitch count against the written instructions. You can find the link in the video details below the video.
This was the most helpful video I have ever found! As a beginner, it was wonderful to be able to understand and complete my first hat!! Thank you so much!

how can i increase the size of the beanie hat???
marhans777 7 months ago
@marhans777 The easiest way to increase is by using a larger crochet hook. If that is not enough, you will work more increase stitches and round. This is where you work 2 single crochet in the same stitch.
tjw1963 7 months ago
@tjw1963 thank you as in more increase stiches do you mean instead of two single crochet in the same stitch maybe put three?
And thank you again for the response...

What is the size in mm of the flat top please, I am using a 4mm hook with 8 ply yarn. After doing up to round 9, it still looks very small. Thank you.

HeatherBug2007 8 months ago
@HeatherBug2007 You can easily modify the size by doing less increase rounds. I suggest you stop increasing between round 6 or 7. There will be some trial and error involved depending on the size of your yarn and hook.

I love how clear this video is, the only question I have is how do you join the colours? Do you let the white just hang while you use the other colour or do you cut it or knot it?
shelshi1991 8 months ago
@shelshi1991 With this tutorial, I am letting the yarn hang and then picking it back up again, carrying it on the inside of the cap. You can cut the yarn each round if you prefer and sew the tails in.
tjw1963 8 months ago
TY so much for the tips!!! I ended-up using a bigger hook and adding a couple of extra increases only... That worked perfectly! I've successfully made a two different types of hats, thanks to your videos! Thanks again!

This is my first time making hats. I've been doing this for 20-something years (my mom taught me). I've made blankets, doilies, potholders, etc...
What I'm having trouble with is size. I have four children & want to make them cute lil hats to wear, but I have not been successful in getting the sizes right. And when I try to increase more to make the hat bigger, it just stays flat and doesn't start curling at all. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong... Any tips to get me back on track? Ty, and I
n2damystic32 9 months ago
@n2damystic32 When your work continues to get larger and lay flat, that means you are increasing. You will need to stop working increase stitches. I have found that 50-75 stitches are what you will need for an adult size cap using 4-ply yarn. The size crochet hook you use will make the cap larger or smaller so you will need to adjust according.
tjw1963 9 months ago
hi tjw..i was just wondering on round 10-24 do we just sc all the way around until i get my length or do i just keep on doing round 9...6sc in each and increase on the 7th? Help me...thanks
virgoallday1 9 months ago
@izzybelle105 I am estimating an additional 6-10 stitches on another increase round. What you are doing is evenly increasing around. You will divide the last round by the number you choose and increase incrementally.

I started this hat and got about a good amount into the hat and I have seams where I changed the color and you can see it almost like a indentation. Is it supposed to look like that? And that the seams have shifted a bit so its kind of diagonal and now the last 4 rows are looser where the seam is. Oh what have I done?? lol yours looks totally seamless. I am going to start a new hat I WILL conquer this hat. :^) Can you help me?

I have I am trying to get to learn how to do more than chain stitch. This video assumed that I knew what the magic loop was and didn't explain why or how to use 2 strands. I was lost and confirms for me that crotchet is not for me as I just don't get it. What is a single crochet. An I hook mine are are numbers either single numbers or metric like 3.5 - I am hoping that thse are the same as knitting needle sizes so why letters?

Ktqtpie16 11 months ago
My first hat looks great and now I'm making another one. And I got stuck! I can't figure out how to get 27 stitches on round 3. Round 2 leaves us with 20 stitches, if we increase every 3, the increases would be on stitches 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 1 sc on 19 and 20. But that equals 26. I don't know what I did on my first hat that made it work but now I can't figure it out!
westcoastlovely 11 months ago
@westcoastlovely Just work an extra increase stitch. Sometimes I will throw in an extra increase at the end, which will throw off a multiple. The stitch count does not have to be exact as long as it fits.
tjw1963 11 months ago
@tjw1963 Thanks so much for responding. I figured that's what I would do, just want to make sure it was ok. It's awesome that you put so much detail in the instructions and answer questions!! I love my new hobby!! Thank you!!!!
westcoastlovely 11 months ago
@sbrisby25: I've found that it helps to pull on your hat a little to even out the stitches. It's a little harder to explain, but don't pull from the top of the hat, you want to pull from the sides and sort of tug all the way around to get it to even out.
shirafuzzi 11 months ago
Hey Teresa, you say this hat has a little bit of a flatter top to it. What makes it have a flatter top? I'm sure it's the way you increase, but I'm not sure. I've been trying different hat patterns lately and sometimes I get hats that are more pointy at the top, which is the opposite of the flat top. Can you explain please!!?? Thanks!
sbrisby25 11 months ago
Hi Teresa, thank you so much for posting these videos! I am somewhat new to crocheting and your instructions are so easy to follow.
I'm having a bit of a problem though. My hat is coming out way too small and 'stiff'. I'm using a K hook and I checked my yarn and it says 4-ply worsted. So, I'm wondering what the problem could be. Could it simply be that my yarn is the cheap 'super value' kind?
westcoastlovely 11 months ago
@westcoastlovely You mentioned you are using a size K crochet hook. That should make the hat larger so I think that you may have missed some increase stitches. I would suggest that you double check the stitch count against the written instructions. You can find the link in the video details below the video.

@tjw1963 Thank you for responding. I tried it again with some softer yarn (from the baby section) and my hat came out excellent! Thanks again!
