Dinner Plate Crochet Hat

[PIGGLEWIGGINS]

A viewer asked about the song at the beginning. I wrote the lyrics and John Chafe composed the music and is singing the song. So far as I know it's never been published except on my videos.

I wud love to know who this song is by at the beggining of the video

[PIGGLEWIGGINS]

Someone just sent me a message that they are not fluid with crochet. Smoothness comes with practice. I'm sure I was a complete klutz when I started. We all feel like we are all thumbs. Not to worry. Sooner or later it will come with frequent practice.

[TheFrankie1949]

OMG I love you!!! Something about your voice is soooo sweet! I have tried to make anything but a big square and have failed miserably :( Until I sat and listened to your tutorial. I am so excited to try this hat out. All I do is crochet all day long. I have learned how to make purses by connecting the gazillion of squares that I have made but I really wanted to know how to make a hat like this. Ur the best!! and so patient and informative. Thanks ALOT

Hello my name is Soraima, and I am a crochet lover and i love all the videos that I am seeing. Thanks to all of those who contribute to the crochet videos.

[GenerationScrood]

Thanks for explaining this so simply. You saved a lot of confusion in your very first statement.

[PIGGLEWIGGINS]

For hats I usually use a G or H hoot. And yes the hat is single crochet (SC).

[TheMaisha]

What size crochet hook are you using?

[Kakerville]

U were using single crochet for the hat right?>

[L3t1t8e]

There was a point in the video when you talked about increading/decreasing...

( 2:29-2:47) are there written instructions?

[Kakerville]

Hi!!

Thanks so much but i have a question, i make toutorials and i cant do it all at one time u know so how do i press the button come back anytime i want? Its hard to explain click the time thing shown and you will see what i mean 0:47 plz reply thanks,

ps plz reply!

[PIGGLEWIGGINS]

Hi Loriann,

Yes, you can do it with double crochet, and it works up faster, though the increases and decreases are a bit trickier.

[loriannn77]

could you do it with dc?

[PIGGLEWIGGINS]

Thank you. I think it's harder to make granny squares Missionsfreak. Some complained that they couldn't see what I was doing, yet others seemed to have no trouble whatsoever following along. It's pretty hard to film oneself working with both hands and holding a camera. I've actually tried to avoid written instructions because it seems the one thing crocheters need is the ability to visualize & free themselves from written patterns.

[grossda410]

Thank you. This is a my favorite crochet video. You gave clear instructions in an easy to understand way. My hat is so cute.

Peace

[WaterFor3st]

You did good. I can't wait to try this.

[MrsD7777]

*You are an EXCELLENT Teacher! I have not crochet-ed anything since i was like 10, so i wonder if i still remember...hmmm *LOL*

[joanaMRF]

its a "good" video but for the most part i cant see what your doing!

[arwen2325]

do you ever think about posting written instructions  for this hat? I really like it and i learn better from video and text.

[Missionsfreak]

=] this is really neat. Mom and I have only ever made granny square, and double stitch afgans =] After I make mine I'm going to teach her!!

[PIGGLEWIGGINS]

Hey Kacey, I accidentally gave you a negative thumbs down. I'm soooooooo sorry. Anyone know how to fix it?

[isis416]
