How to make a Crochet Mohawk Hat

[funlover06977]

I was thinking you could just keep your fingers apart and wrap around them alot.

I have a board with 2 nails in it 24 inches apart. I wrap the yarn around both nails & then cut on the outside of each nail. Cuts down on how tedious making braids can be. LOL This would work for making mohawks to, just put the nails closer together.

@texasmoocow Great suggestion, thank you

A toilet paper roll is 4 and 1/2 inches. I folded int flat and wrapped the yarn around it, leaving a little opening on the end so I could get my scissors inside to cut the yarn in half. It worked SO much faster, and I think it was easier.

make pom poms and sew em all on.

's how my wife does it. hth!

Wrap the yarn around.a cardboard square .then cut across the top.and bottom. That way you can wrap it super fast and have little variation in yarn lengths.

I just finished up a latchhook project. I never thought of using that needle for grabbing yarn in needlework. Thanks for the idea.

An easier way to get the strands for the mohawk is to wrap the yarn around and around a credit card and then cut off of card :-)

I google'd "wire cat brush" and amazon had a hit along with google shopper having items you can order... they were roughly 2$

Can you do a tutorial on the latch hook? I can remember doing it with my mom when I was young..I would really appreciate it..it would bring back so many good memories :)

I've been wanting to make a mohawk hat for my son for a couple months now. I never thought about doing it this way. Thank you so much for this Teresa!

I know they sell wire cat brushes both at PetSmart and Pet Supermarket. You can also purchase them online, but the shipping would probably be more than the brush itself. I personally would never use them on a cat, but it's a great idea for yarn :)

I have an idea for an easy way to make the strands for the mohawk. Cut a piece of cardboard to desired length, wrap yarn around and then cut both ends. That should give you same length strands quick and easy.

Rug making is lash hook over here in the UK and yes I know what it is as I used to do it once.  What about wrapping it around a piece of cardboard or a old bank card.

*Screams* OH THANK YOU THANK YOU Teresa you are the best!

i do the same as mimithomas.. wrap the yarn around something thats sturdy like you would when making a pompom. last nite i made a baby mohawk hat and the plastic package that my yarn needles came in was about the perfect width for the "hairs" so i wrapped the yarn around that then cut along one side. instead of just making like a slip stitch with the "hairs" i used my hook to pull the yarn halfway through a stitch then tied it in a knot around the stitch so that they dont get loose and fall out

so glad you added the scan I have you on my android now! <3 your channel!

[mimithomas69]

I take my strands and wrap them around something in my house the ideal size u need leaving the starting strand out so we know what end to cut. Usually I use DVD cover,cassette tapes,chair legs etc. for desired length just gotta look around the house and see. Hope this helps 😜👍

@Inthepicrures Teresa actually did that to show how to make a Pom Pom without a Pom Pom maker.

[Irina1972able]

Great! Thank you!

[Inthepictures]

I've seen a piece of cardboard or something flat and sturdy used to wrap the yarn around to make the lengths of yarn for the mohawk (I think I saw it on Bobwilson123).
