Dear Teresa, first of all thank you so much for uploading and making these wonderful videos! You truly are teaching the word crochet..... (I live in Switzerland :) I made this hat accoring to your instructions and came out perfect. Now I am making it a little bit bigger so after round 4 I crochet one more round and then another round with increase. Continueing now my hat looks a bit bubbly. Any advice? Warm greetings from the Alps!

@DianavanSIlfhout Diana, Greetings to you in Switzerland. If the cap is bubbly, I suggest that you rip out the last round of increase stitches and work one or two more rounds of individual stitches to see what happens. If that is not large enough, they work another round of increase stitches. This will give you gradual increasing to eliminate the bubbling.

do you need to use special yarn for babies?

[tjw1963]

@magenite0 You can use any yarn you want to use. I would stay away from the novelty yarn with baby items.

How big is this hat like in inches? Cause im supposed to make this for a 10 year old so that would really help! Thank You(:

@MariahPiedad Size Estimate - 14-16 inch 36-41CM head.  You will also find a link to the written instructions in the video details below the video.

why...when i did the hat it became smaller than yours...it is coz by needle or crochet tread...?

I made the hat w/ 4-ply yarn & J hook, also did the stitches just under the tops (by mistake) but it worked out to my benefit (bigger) & fits my 22 month old. For a 4yr-old, is it best to have a round of same # in between (as you did w/ the 36) before you increase again (like 36, 36, 48, 48, 60) rather than just increasing after each (36, 48, 60, etc) or does it matter? Will it come out uneven? I'm having a little trial & error to make the hat the right size. Thanks for your instructions!

@TheCorbinfanatic I was very confused too! First off, I made 2 hats already just sliding the hook under the "top" (2 strands), they just came out a little more 'lacey' looking. So don't worry too much. That said, I figured out- on hat #3!- you dive down a little further UNDER the top of the stitch- so there're 3 strands you're under (plus the 2 already on your hook, plus 1 when you catch the yarn behind) This makes a tighter weave, which is great as this hat is for a rough&tumble 4yr old! HTH!

I dont know if my terminology is correct here but am I correct that you are working between the posts?
