- Let's crochet a Cat Beanie - Cat Hat! This tutorial is beginner-friendly and the FREE pattern is included!
The Cat Ear Beanie crochet tutorial was the first video I've ever uploaded on this channel and it received much more love than I could ever imagine. Over a year, ABoC Studio is reaching 100k. So here I've re-created this tutorial and improved it in every way as a THANK YOU to all of you that support me 💞sending love💞
✨RELATED INFO
• Using METER as unit to determine the amount of yarn is the closest to accurate, and applicable for all yarn-category (you can always find meter info on the yarn label). Meanwhile, using gram would be kinda risky, because with the same amount of grams you may get more or less yarn depending on types of material (E.g. cotton yarn is heavier than acrylic. So, with 50gr of No. 4 cotton you'll get about 80 meters BUT 50gr of No. 4 acrylic you'll get at least 100 meters). Ultimately, it's always better to have more yarn than NOT enough, so you may wanna buy a little extra just in case!
• Measuring/Tailor tape: You can measure with the tape the same way I did with the yarn in the video (1:33), and take note of the measurement for later use. This is very helpful especially when the person you're making this beanie for is not with you, since they can do on their own so that you can cut out the piece of yarn accordingly. Make sure that the yarn is slightly stretched-out before cutting, so the length would be more accurate! The ears look best when the hat fits well.
• TURNING is for the sake of straightening the chain line, which is visible on finished piece (the line created by the chain 2 that you make after slip-stitching to join each round). If you don't turn your work, the shape of your piece would still be fine, but the chain line will be tilted, which is not a big deal if you don't mind. As long as you still keep the same number of stitches on each row/round, your project will stay in shape! Nevertheless, "turning" is one of the basics in crochet. So I'd recommend that it's good practice to turn when the pattern tells you to ;)

I have watched like 10 tutorials for this cat beanie, and yours is the best! Thanks for the "turning" tip! 💖
@@anacs8293 thank you so much💞🥰I’m so glad!!!!
The improvement is really there I made the first one 3 weeks ago and this yesterday and this was literally perfect and much easier to make. Also i love not having to sew the pieces together
Yayy💗💞thank you for this amazing feedback ✨
I have made my cat ear beanie with your first tutorial, will definitely make another one for the winter, it looks so cute !
Amazing 🥰🥰 Hope you like this one too💝
Made this for my sister for Christmas and I’m so proud of how it turned out! Hopefully she’ll like it too!
Yayy💞 she'll definitely love it🥰
the first crochet project I ever finished was a cat ear beanie from your old tutorial and I just found one with a scarf attached so I came looking for your tutorial again and now I'll use this new one!
Yay💞 hope you'll enjoy this one🧶
@ABoCStudio I did!! I like starting from the top of the hat way more than trying and failing to make sure my base chain doesn't get twisted. it was so quick and easy, thank you so much!
You are a very good teacher. Love the hat too! So glad I don't have to sew the end's together.
I'm glad you like it💕💕💕💓
I’m so obsessed with your tutorials. I appreciate your very specific instructions and excellent notes on the side with stitch info. You make it easy for even the most beginner to make amazing things. Thank you!

aah thank u so much for this tutorial! it really was very beginner friendly, i could finish my first crochet beanie ever and i have never crocheted before this. i must say it took me two tries tho because i got a little confused about the turns and the slip stitches but once i understood how the different stitches looked like it was smooth sailing!
Yayy💞 I'm so glad you made it 🥰💞💞

@ABoCStudio I'm making another one right now! your tutorial is greate❤
@noeliajimenez5514 how's it going?🤗
@@atenadaniali I managed to make three !!! Haha it was hard at first but once you get the hang of it they got easier ! My first one looks a little wonky but I’m happy with how they turned out! I want to make many more to give to my friends hehe, but they do take me a while, about 3-4hrs for each beanie 😅 that’s because I take breaks and stuff but I really enjoy it !
I watched other videos, but they were quick, but this is easy and self-explanatory, really thanks
Amazing 🥰 thank you so much!
oh. I used your old tutorial a week ago 😂 it turned out good
Ahh that's great 😆 💓you can give this a try, the pattern is improved (there's no sewing, and may take less time to finish ✨)
thank you so much it turned out so cute!!
Yayy💞
I followed this video and my hat came out perfect ❤️ You should post a tutorial on cat beanie with ear flaps! You're videos are the easiest to follow for beginners 💕
Great idea!! And thank you so much 💞
I love this! This is my first major crochet project and thanks to you, I did it so well…really I tried so many other channels none of them are as simple and to the point as yours. Thank you so so so much for thisss my beanie turned out sooooo cute 😭❤️💕
Amazing 🥰🥰 thank you so much for sharing!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I got to make my own hat :DD

This will definitely be my first project (I started crocheting yesterday). 😻 Subbed
Yay! Thank you sm! I really hope you'll have fun 💗💗🧶

Glad you think so! Tysm 🥰💞💞
Your tutorials are my favourites. Do you thing you could try to do a tutorial for the rainbow hexagon granny square cardigan🌈? The other tutorials ive seen arent as in depth yours. Would love it if you do!❤❤
Great suggestion, I definitely put that on the list! Thank you so much💞💞💞💞🥰
Thank you.. 😍
Anytime 💞💞
Thanks 😍
It's gonna be great if you crochet a cardigan too 🥰
Yes, definitely 💞💞
heyy! so, i just recently discovered your account and i love it! :3 alsoooo, i would like to ask if you could please do a cat paw fingerless glove tutorial? i would totally love it!!
Hii❤ thanks for your suggestion 😘I'll definitely consider it
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I made it after following a different tutorial that I had to sew together and this turned out so much neater and was really easy to follow for my second ever project :)
Yayy I'm so glad to hear❤ thank you so much 💗💞
Hello! can you make a tutorial for knitting a sweater? your tutorials are very detailed ❤❤❤
Hii💞 I'll definitely put that on the list✨ thank you sm for requesting 💝
definitely making some for christmas gifts, about how long would you say it takes for a beginner to finish a hat? I have never crochet before haha, but i'll keep you updated ! Thank you so much for this free tutorial.
Hii💓 it should takes around 2-4hours for someone new to crochet 😉
I loveee your videos can you plzz make cute hand warmer
Hii❤ thanks for your suggestion 💕💕💕I'll definitely consider it
An awesome tutorial made it in 3 hours and i havent crocheted in years I absolutely love it and you made it so easy to follow 🥹👏🏽🎆💖
Amazing 💞💞💞 I'm glad to hear ✨
I used fluffier yarn (mandala lion brand) and it’s very stretchy and so far it looks like it’s going to be too big for me ever tho I measured would you recommend starting it over again and making my chain smaller since it’s stretchy?
Hi there 💞 if you feel so, I would definitely recommend you to make the chain a bit shorter🧶
Honestly your videos are absolutely amazing, im just dumb. 😅
Nooo you're NOT 😭😭😭😭
@ABoCStudio girl I'm academically and generally so stupid 😭😭 like ill cry if I can't even do a magic ring properly. You have no idea how many breakdowns I've had over crocheting
This tutorial is awesome! I made the hat in one day and all my loved ones want one now. I have a question though, if I was to make this in half double crotchet instead of double crochet would I chain one at the end of each round instead of chaining two?
I love your channel!!
Yes ❤ with Hdc chain 1 is perfect ;)
@@ABoCStudio thank you so much!
Hi! May I ask how many rows/rounds you made for the folding at the bottom? Just wanna know how long I should make for my beanie. Thanks 😊
Hi💓🧶For the folding I usually make about 4-5 rows
My cat beanie , turned into a fox beanie😂 But I'm happy with my first ever crocheting project. 😊
I'm glad you like it 💞
Hi I just wanted to know if this pattern would still work if I use plush yarn to make the cat beanie
Yesss It would do just as well 😉
Can I do half double crochet instead? I want to make tapestry crochet ,your works are amazing tho 💗
Yes you can use this pattern n replace Dc with Hdc 💞 it'll definitely work out🧶✨
I new to crochet and for some of the loops it’s bigger or smaller and I can’t keep it consistent is there a way I can keep the same size of loops?
Hii💗 usually It takes some practice, I think you'd be more comfortable after a few rows😉
If it still feels uneasy, I recommend you to try out different ways to hold the working yarn and the hook. There's a few ways and you can Google them💞
Hi! I’m a little curious, if I wanted to add ribbing to the end of the hat when and how would I be able to do that?
You can use fp/bp (front post and back post stitches) the same way i did for turtle neck of this balaclava ua-cam.com/video/6uLs959tXEM/v-deo.htmlsi=M_x_VYtEjYilLB3T you can start at 10:31 in this video 💞
hello, i want to make this beanie crochet as a gift/surprise. so, is it okay to measure my own head or do i need to measure the head of the person i'll be gifting this? thank you!
If you feel like their head is similar to yours then that would definitely works 💞💞💞
hii, thank you so much for all your videos ❤ i have a question- at 20:10 i forgot to put the color change yarns on the inside of the hat, so now it is sticking out on the outside 😅 can i fix this by cutting the piece and weaving that end in, and then start from a new yarn?
Hii 💓 okay so, cutting it would be pretty risky but as you described I imagine that it's long enough to weave in the piece 🤔 that's would definitely work! But just make sure that the stitches won't unravel✨
The safest way would be redoing that row and remember to flip the yarn next time 😉
@@ABoCStudio Hmm okie I’ll go back and redo it. I did 4 rows before I noticed 😿 LOL. Thank you for helping 🫶😊
@@neekowmoo anytime 💞💞 have fun 🧶
So simple, friend! We could easily turn this into a ski mask, yes?
Yes! You can apply the similar technique we use for the Ski mask ua-cam.com/video/6uLs959tXEM/v-deo.htmlsi=bDSoOnGLMRIiFzSB 💞
@@ABoCStudio thank you! 💕
Please tell me where I can get the exact yarn and color
I like it a lot
I wanna follow ur exact beanie it’s beautiful
I just sent you a link in your other comment!🧶
hello! i’m new to crocheting and i just bought 8ply classic acrylic yarn earlier, is it okay to use it for this?
I think it’ll do🧶💕
does this tutorial work for any yarn type? I have a fluffier yarn i'd love to make a hat with, but I'm not sure.
Yes, it would work for different yarn types (as long as it no thinner than Dk yarn) 😉 so fluffy will definitely do!
The recommended yarn in the video (Aran) is mainly for beginners because it's easy to work with hence unlikely to fail the project ✨
Alright, thank you so much!@@ABoCStudio
Tutorial is amazing! However, am I supposed to be crocheting it inside out (where the strings are out) or should I be crocheting it while the strings are inside the beanie? I’m not sure which is the outside of the beanie or the inside of it! Thank you.
Hii❤ do you mean the yarn sticking when we switching color? If so, then you may find the answer at 20:08 😉
if i wanted to make the ears more pointy, would i add more dc?
Actually if you want the ears to be more pointy, you may wanna consider making the hay tighter so the ears would sticking out more than dropping down💞
So sorry about this late reply 😢
Hi ABoC studio! I made my first cat beanie and it failed, how? The base of the hat was like in a different direction/side, it was upside down! How to prevent it?❤
Hi would you email me some pics? aboc.studio@gmail.com I’ll see what I can figure out!
hello I am not understanding the second row. Do I have to flip the work to crochet into the chain?
Yes! You'll need to turn the work after each row ✨But it's actually optional to turn, read more about "TURNING" in the description of the video 😉
Hellooo! So one of the sides has been getting bigger and bigger and ive been watching for reduntant parts and none, is it normal?
Hi, would you DM me some pics of your piece? it would be easier for me to see what i can help💞✨
for the on-screen instructions at 21:34, do you mean 21 cm [about 8 in]? i feel like 21 in would be too long for a hat lol
Omgg you're right it's 21 cm 🥲 😭Thank you sm for noticing 💗💗💗💗
1:13 Hi, I am a beginner crocheter and I’m very confused on what yarn to use, The yarn I bought keeps curling as I’m double crocheting and not laying how yours is, do I need a thinner silkier one? The only Aran yarn near me is velvety soft Aran yarn, is that one right?
Hi💞 can you Dm some pics of your piece, I'll see what I can figure out 😉
@@ABoCStudio sure! (:
After the first row the Stich I put the three dc in, is ok the bottom, not the top. What am I doing wrong?
OK I figured it out. I flipped the piece wrong. I thougt the end (the little piece from the first loop) was on the bottom.
Yayy💓 I'm so glad you worked it out! Hve fun🧶✨✨✨
where do i find this exact size of yarn?! ive been searching amazon and cant find it ANYWHERE ):
Hii❤ It's from Paton acrylic Medium weight No.4 🧶 if I'm not wrong the name was "PATONS CANADIANA" st
tysm!!!
Hi, it’s okay not to turn your work after 2 chains? Bcs I forgot to turn my work and I’m already finished 😭 should I redo it?
If your beanie's shape still look good then you don't have to redo it at all! No worries!!!
turning is for the sake of the straight chain line (the line on the whole piece created by the chains that you make after slip-stitch to join each round), if you don't turn your work, the shape of your piece would still be fine, but the chain line will be tilted. so if you don't mind that then it's not a big deal✨ (as long as you still have the right number of stitches after each round, then your project will stay in shape)
Please make a bee. I tried to look at the explanation but I did not understand. I really understand you 💖💖
Hii❤ thanks for your suggestion 😘I'll definitely consider it
@@ABoCStudio This is wonderful. Thank you. I really hope to see you make cute dolls. You are really cute. Thank you for your response
So, i had started loosing stitches when slip stitch joining rows. I decided i wasnt going to frog it, and just went with it, turns out it was a good thing! the hat would have been way too loose. I ended up throwing a couple decreases in also and i was making it like 11 stitches too big 😅 its still kinda loose but its coming together. The ears are WAY too big though. Oh well, its for me anyways! AND its my first hat project! When she says count stitches on each row... LISTEN! 😂
Also I wasn't switching colors, just using one yarn that is multi colored. And somehow still loosing a stitch each row!
I figured out what I was doing wrong . Watched the video again. And I was joining into the 1st real double crochet. Instead of the top stitch in the chain 2. Basically skipping the chain and skipping a stitch!
I'm so glad you worked it out in the first project 😲💕💕💕 that's talent ✨
Can I use sweet snuggles lite??
Yes absolutely💞
can i use this pattern to a three color beanie?
Yes absolutely ✨🧶
Hi, is it okay if I use a 5mm hook?
Yes feel free🌿
Hello when i measure it still look big ahahah, is it possible to make it smaller without redo 😅
Hii💞 I think you can make a long chain string and weave it into the hat as a draw-string closure 😉
Can I ask if this is 8 ply? (Sorry I'm new at this)
Hi there💞, this is 5ply 🧶
However, please keep in mind that yarn category doesn't depend on number ply because ply have different sizes/types too. To find out category your yarn in you can use WPI method, follow this link:
www.craftyarncouncil.com/standards/how-measure-wraps-inch-wpi
mine got really wide towards the end. any advice on how to fix it?
Sounds like you have accidentally increased stitches on each row!
you can always keep track of the stitch-number by counting the first row and keep it the same in 2nd, 3rd row,... then after just a few more rows you'll be able to keep it the same all the time without counting 💫
@@ABoCStudio THANK YOUUUU😭😭😭 I'll try that out!
Can u use a 5.mm crochet hook
Sure💞🧶
I’m confused… for some reason, when I switch the yarn, it won’t stay on one side only. You can see on both sides of the piece where I switched the yarn, and I have no idea why. I’m so confused about this right now. I’m only in row 4, but when I switched colors, you can see one on the one side and the other one on the other side
Hi there 💞 So, you'll need a trick to keep the yarn on 1 side (I showed how to do it at 20:05) it's right before the slip-st of each row 😉
hey can you tell me why mine got so big?
Sounds like you have accidentally increased stitches on each row!
If you like you can Dm some pic of the piece, I'll be able to tell what's going on n give you some tips😉
Hey can any of u help me coz I don’t know if I have enough yarn so I need to know how much y’all used it would be really useful 😭💕
Hii, it really depends on the size but I can say that you need about 150meters of yarn 💞
Can I use a 5.mm hook?
Yes💞
what is the weight of yarn you recommend?
I recommend Aran No.4 🧶🥰
did you mean 21cm instead of 21 inches? I’m about to reach 21cm and it seems the correct length
Yess its 21cm 💞that was a guilty typo I'm so sorry 🥲🥲🥲
I really wanted this 1st row and foundation chain to be perfect is it ok to be ugly at the start? Also this hat is soo cute(❁´▽`❁)(´。✪ω✪。｀)
You can DM me some pics of your piece! I'll see what I can help😉💞
13:00
note to self: 52 stitches with chain 2
This is my fav tutorial! It's so easy to follow, but somehow, my beanies keep turning out bigger than my head! 😭 It's happened twice now. Unsure as to what I'm doing wrong :(
Hii💗, does it get bigger/wider as after each row? Or the shape is good but the hat just bigger in general?
@ABoCStudio The shape is fine, it's just the hat that's too big :( my measuring is definitely off but I'm not sure how to fix it.
@@alltimemarium oh I see, you can definitely estimate the redundant chains on the foundation, make it shorter as so😉
what kind of yarn is that !!
It's acrylic aran/worsted yarn from Bernat🧶
13:45 (personal use)
😍😍😍
😉💕💕💕
Im sooo lost tbh I’m just trying to wing it. I feel so dumb lol
Ohhh nooo you are not dumb 😭😭😭 maybe you’re just too new to the hook! Give this easier scarf project a try, you don’t have to finish the thing just try to follow and get used to making a few Double Crochet Rows ua-cam.com/video/KPESfW-qgXU/v-deo.htmlsi=qejaR9oN2yZk5cGF
🥹 hope it’ll help!
i only have one ear😭
How come???🥲
I can’t 🥲
😭what happened?
where is the pattern?
It's displayed along the video 🧶
I think I’m just stupid but I still don’t understand…
I’m quitting 😭
Noooo, don't say that! You're not stupid. Maybe take a break for a while or practice different stitches first to feel more comfortable :) I did the same and it's not as hard anymore. Good luck!
Thanks 😭 I’ll keep going just because of you ❤️
@@They_dont_know_randy That's awesome, I believe in you! :D I had some trouble with the beanie at first (had to unravel it 5 times lmao) but I'm now on my 2nd one. If something goes wrong, I can try to help
This is the loveliest comment thread I saw today 😭💞💞💞 you guys are so awesome! If you need anything let me know too. I've been away but I promise to be more responsive from now🥰🧶
You say to follow the same pattern until the hat is about 21 inches. I'm confused because that doesn't seem correct. Your hat looks like it is less than 12 inches tall. 21 inches seems way too long & at least twice the length of the hat you made in the video.
Yes!!! Its "21cm" NOT inches!!! That was silly a typo 😭😭 I try to put a popup notice but I guess i doesn't work on some devices😅 so sorry about that
I purposely made mine a bit bigger and now I’m worried bc it looks giant
I made it at least like 5-10 chains larger than I should’ve
@@keylimeteaHow did it turn out if (you’ve finished it already)? I think I might have made mine too small since my yarn and needle are thicker and I thought I had to make it smaller haha
@@diediedice i ended up following a different pattern as I found it easier ngl, I just cut off the old project
@@keylimetea ahhh okay, that's good too! :) I'll try to continue mine and see if it fits/looks fine
Every time i make this hat, even with following the tutorial, it comes out too big :/
Hii💞you can Dm some pics of your piece, I'll see what I can help you with 😉
69 (it's just to remind me)😅
I have a really hard time figuring out which part of my work I need to hook my needle into, wish it was easier to understand 🥲
Hii🧶 so, we would insert the hook right under the V shape on top of eachs stitch to work up the new one.
