Easy Crochet Chunky Beanie
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- I designed this extra squishy hat especially for super bulky weight yarns. It makes a great market prep hat because it uses very little yardage and works up in under an hour. The use of stitches in the back loop only cause the hat to have a tremendous amount of stretch, making it fit a large variety of heads. It has been a best-seller for my vendor markets, and I hope you have the same success!

Supplies needed:
-At least 81 yds of any brand size 6 super chunky yarn (I recommend using Lion Brand’s Hometown USA or Wool Ease Thick and Quick for these hats. You could also use 3 strands of worsted weight #4 yarn held together for this hat, but be sure you crochet more loosely or go up to a size 10.0 mm hook size. It tends to be a tighter fit. This technique has been great for those who wanted team colors in this hat.)
If you need supplies it would help me greatly if you used my affiliate links below.

-Hair elastic (Optional. I use the thicker Goody Ouch less brand) amzn.to/2D3VfTl
-scissors amzn.to/3eUlvxp

Gauge: Hat should measure 6” (15 cm) in diameter after completing rounds 1-3. Gauge is approximate.
Finished Measurements:
Finished hat should measured approximately 21”-24” (53-61 cm) in circumference and 9” 23 cm) in length. The circumference has a wide range due to the stitches being placed in the back loops only.

Ur instructions are clear .. precise which makes it very easy to follow.. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️
WOW, that was quick! Also beautiful! LOVE the texture! It doesn’t look like it’s that easy. Thank you
Oh wow, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I didn’t realize what the button was for till the end, love it!! I usually just sew my Pom poms right on my hats. Thank you!
You are welcome! It’s my favorite method to use☺️
Great hat pattern! The hats come out thick, stretchy, and warm! Just finished my 2nd hat, and I just want to keep going!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I was able to follow it & understand and I love the pattern. I'm making several of these as Christmas gifts. After the first one that I made, I did make a couple of changes at the beginning as I am not adding pom-poms & wanted to make the hole at the top smaller. I really appreciate how well you explained & showed how to make this
I’m going to start this hat pattern using the magic circle. I don’t want to make or buy a Pom Pom.
I made it and am so happy with the result i only changed just a bit in the brim but the pattern is amazing and so quick
Great!! I am glad to hear it 🤗
I just made it. Lovely design. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome video! Learned how to apply a pom pom with that elastic! Thank you!
You’re welcome, thank you!
What size hook did you use?
I made a hat last night and it turned out super cute! I found a couple mistakes but that comes with the territory of being a new to making hats. This was my first attempt, I will definitely make more. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely! I am glad you were able to make one ❤️
You are a wonderful teacher thank you so much !!! This will be my next project
Rhonda Hoeft thank you! ❤️
Thank you for such a great tutorial! I've never had luck with making beanies and this is the first time I made one that turned out perfect❤❤ Side note: I was thrilled to see a professional use what appears to be bobby pins bc that's what I use too😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
I just made this and it was so fast and easy! Subscribed and look forward to trying some more of your tutorials. Thanks!
I really love this pattern. I have made one adult and one baby hat to donate.
Thanks for this!! I think it’s a variation of the Waffle stitch. So excited to see how it turns out. Currently on round 3 😊
Mackenzie A. Shepard I’ve never used the waffle stitch. I’m intrigued! I’m glad you like it☺️
I lost my favorite hat and decided it was time to make a new one. This time I wanted something warm, squishy, and looked good with or without a pompom. This hat is it! I love it! I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick. I added one extra row before the brim because I have a tall head and want to cover my ears, and then instead of the BLO SC I used 3 rows of hdc in the 3rd loop for the brim because I really like the way it looks. It turned out great. The instructions were easy to follow and I love my new hat! Next time I'll use less fuzzy yarn so the stitch definition stands out even more!
I was just sent a picture of this by my daughter in law, and asked if I could make it lol. Thanks xx
Adding the button inside to hold the Pom Pom was so ingenious!!!
Thank you! I don’t like the floppy pom poms that result from snaps so it made the most sense😁
Amazing. Super pretty and fast, love it
I love, love this pattern. I made 2 today for donating.
Thank you! I’m so glad you like it😊
Making another one today. I work with the elderly and I showed them the finished hat yesterday. We are going to make it with them next week in our crochet club. Thank you for sharing.
@@destresswithyoga how awesome!! Thank you for sharing ❤️
That is a wonderful idea.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I finally made a hat successfully!!!!
Yay! I’m so glad👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I like a quick bulky hat. There is so much difference between some bigger bulky 6 and 5's. I like Lionbrand thick and quick.
Love this pattern! Thank you so very much
I’m so glad you like it!
Will definitely try this. Thanks!
Love this pattern! Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you!
Made one for my father!. Thsnk you!
Is there a link for the pom pom please? Excellent tutorial, I used a 5 weight doing an extra round of increases and 3 extra rounds of brim so I could turn it up so it was double. Perfect!
christine persson I bought the pom pom on Amazon in an assortment bag: www.amazon.com/dp/B07X8G5NR7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_btf_t1_XoAGFbCZC3KA4
This pattern is so beautiful! I am wondering if it would work as a slouchy hat if I add some extra rows and skip the pompom?
It should, yes☺️
@@DaysCrochetthank you for such a fast reply! I can’t wait to try this out.
Great tutorial, this hat works up nicely.👌 I love the textured look.💜
Thank you!
Is there a written pattern I can follow? This hats amazing and I've made it twice, my family loves it haha i still need the instructions though for the third hat.
There is a written pattern on my blog, Etsy, and Ravelry. Here’s the blog link and the Etsy and Ravelry links are in the blog post near the top: daysck.com/crochet-for-days/chunky-spiral-crochet-beanie
Both times my had ends up at 5 inches and not 6? I can't figure out what I am doing wrong here. I am using different yarn but it's still similar.
Are you referring to the diameter? If so, you need to go up a hook size and start over.
@DaysCrochet yes, the diameter. I will try that on my next hat, thank you for responding! I really love your vode, by the way, it's very clear and concise!
@@kittenswithmittens5537 thank you❤️
Well I made one after having to frog it multiple times. Lol. My daughter said she loves it. I used hometown by lions brand yarn in color aspen tweed and you do have to buy 2 of them. I hope.my friend loves it . What yarn and color did you use to make the one pictured for the video because I absolutely love the colors. Thank you so much for sharing your craft and talent with us.
I’m so glad you love it! The color I used in the video is called Moonlight and the one pictured in the thumbnail is called Fossil (I believe)
I love your patterns and your videos are the best to follow along! I want to order some custom leather tags. I've made my own and tried using the Cricut to make some and I think I just want to not mess with it. Would you mind sharing who you use? (I saw the link for the pom buttons but not for the tags)
Thank you for all your wonderful patterns!
Thank you! I order my tags from All This Wood on Etsy. They are AWESOME!
@@DaysCrochet excellent. Thank you so much! There are so many to choose from, it's overwhelming. It'll be good to order from someone thats recommended.
Happy crocheting! 🧡
What size hook
The pattern calls for a 9mm hook just saw your question made a few last year and they are in demand again
I think that's what she was planning to on the yarn wrapper size 6.
This was so fun and fast! But my lines look more twisted than your photo. I'll have to play around and see what happened.
Mine is spiraled, I just flatten the hat for the best photo. 🤗
Where is description box
The description box is a tiny down arrow at the bottom right of the video. Once you tap it, it expands the description box. I hope this helps!
I have bulky 5 yarn. What adjustments do I need to do to make this please?
I’m not certain, to be honest. You may need to do 1-2 more rounds of increase and make more rounds. (Assuming you are using a smaller hook)
How do I get the pattern?
The free pattern is on my blog, but if you wish to have an ad-free printable version , you can find it here: dayscrochetnc.etsy.com/listing/675271525
What size hook to make an adult sized hat?
All of the supplies are listed in the description box below the video. Click the tiny down arrow to the bottom right of the video to expand the description box ☺️
Can this be worn by men or is it for just women?
It’s really up to the preference of the person. As far as size goes, you may need to add a round or 2.
😊😊😊
Beautiful beanie! I was just wondering, why the first 2 rounds in the written pattern, are different than your video tutorial?
Are you reading the messy bun version that has the opening at the top or the beanie version? I don’t recall doing the video differently than the written pattern other than that, but it’s been a few years so I’m not 100% sure.
@@DaysCrochet it's the beanie version. Round 1 is just done with the magic circle instead of the chain 9 then doing the circle like you do. Mostly it's round 2. It doesn't specify doing the HDC in the BLO. That doesn't start until round 3. I could be reading it wrong (as I am somewhat new to crochet) so I thought I would ask.
You are very hard to hear on your tutorials
You stop your voice short or didnt add in when you should. You are hard yo fo.low.
Your directions are so clear and very easy to follow. I made this hat in 2 hrs following you step by step. I had my doubts that it would be big enough, but was surprised to find it had so much stretch.
This is by far my FAVORITE pattern!! Very easy to follow and quick to work up! I read your pattern online and saw that this is a great option for market prep and I can 100% agree! I'm trying to start my own shop but I am terrible at creating patterns, so, this one has been great for me. I just want to thank you for sharing this with us and I will definitely give credit where it is due and will update you with the success of this beanie 🥰 Thank you so so so much!!
You have made me smile from ear to ear! Thank you so much for taking the time to give me such kind feedback ❤️ It really makes my day! 😘 Good luck selling them! I hope you sell tons🙏🏻
This is a great tutorial. You are a good teacher. I like that there's no annoying music in the background. I'm learning to love working with bulky wt. yarn.
Thank you! ❤️
This is super easy pattern, made it while watching your tutorial. BIG thanks to YOU, as I'll be making this hat for family and friends. What a great gift that can be made in less than an hour. Yay!!!
This was so cute, but a little small for my head (22”). It will make a nice gift! Thank you.
My first one was tight on my head as well - I really loosened up my stitches starting round 3 and it made a huge difference for my second hat
I used an 8mm hook and it made the perfect child size hat. Now making an adult hat. Thank u!
Thank you for sharing this! Love when i land on a good comment like this!
I used an 8Mm hook too but I then added one more row of increases. Kept me from buying another hook.
Thanks; it's hard to find cute patterns for super-bulky yarn. You're a great teacher. God bless...
Thank you! I have several hat patterns that use super bulky weight yarn because it’s my favorite yarn for hats 🤗
Love the hat done in this video. Love the stitch used for them. Great teaching on the making of them. Lovely share.
Thank you!
do u start the second row in the stitch u ss in or the one after
This pattern & color way is stunning. Thanks SOOO much for sharing!
I LOVE, LOVE my new hat❤️😍 This is so pretty and fun to make! You even taught an old dog a new trick with that invisible join! 😊 Will be making more for gifts. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your abundant talent!
Invisible joins are the BEST, aren’t they!
Turned out lovely. Thank you for a very clear tutorial. 😍
LOVE this hat! Super quick and easy to make. Thank you for the great suggestion on pom buttons!
This is the easiest and best just how I have ever crocheted. I have never worked a crochet hat that is easier than this pattern. Thank you so much. I truly did take just about 45 minutes to make it start to finish. Again thank you.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it☺️
I'm not understanding how you are getting 6 inches after the last increase round. I'm using the same type of yarn and the same hook size but mine is only at 5 inches
@@adrianeterry5725 you crochet more tightly than I do. You either need to loosen up your stitches or go up in hook size.
@@DaysCrochet thank you🙏
I'm making my second one. Used Navajo chaining for the first out of worsted. It came out great. Thanks for the great tutorial.
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you like it!
Thank you for sharing your pattern. I'm making for my girls
I'm anxious to try this! Thank you 🙏
If I did a magic circle would I start with 9 inside the circle?
The magic circle would replace the ch-9 ring. So you would still keep round 1 as 18 dc.
I just made this hat (it's super fast) and I love it!! 💕 Thank you so much! Great tutorial!
Wonderful! I’m glad to hear it🤗
You need to tell the crocheter how many stitches there are at the end of each round
You can find that information out here: daysck.com/crochet-for-days/chunky-spiral-crochet-beanie
all your hats come out so nice and u have a lot of nice finishing tips to so thanks.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! It made my day❤️
Made it, thanks! It was small for my head so next time I will do one more increase.
You could also make more brim rounds☺️
Omg...you voice is so soothing. I love this hat and can't wait to make it....
Irene OConnell thank you! I’m glad you like it🤗
Beautiful!
vid is diff to the pattern
In which part?
Do you have a stitch count suggestion/modifications to make these in a size 5 Bulky weight yarn?
I don't have the stitch counts, but you could realistically follow the pattern concept and shoot for measurements. I have a video explaining how to do this if you're interested:
ua-cam.com/video/yta9ve38ePg/v-deo.htmlsi=YhSmN5AH0FgRlJxj
@@DaysCrochet I understand that you don't have a specific stitch count for the #5 yarn weight, but do you have a stitch multiple for the fpdc rounds so I can alter it to the new yarn size? Like the rounds have to be a multiple of say 4 for example?
I made this twice. The first one has a couple of places where I didn’t stay aligned correctly but I finished it anyway. Instructions are very good.
also great idea to put that ribbon on the elastic of the pom...thank you for sharing that too
@@justagramma I have actually started to just cut a length of yarn (about 6-8 inches or so) and tie that into the elastic instead. It seems to be easier to get that inside the hat than the ribbon. If you watch the most recent hat pattern tutorial, I show how I do it now towards the end. 😁
@@DaysCrochet oh that's an even better idea...thanks
Any tips on making this for a six year old?
You could go down a hook size or do fewer rounds. There really isn’t a huge discrepancy between a 6 yr old and an adult sized head, believe it or not! ☺️
Great tutorial! I found you today and made this hat. Easy and quick! Just what I was looking for! Thanks!
Great tutorial! I just finished this hat and it turned out great. Super easy & I will be making more. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome job. Beautiful hat. I love it
Thank you!
Love this ❤️ your voice is so soothing lol
Thank you! I’m glad it’s not annoying 😂
how would one turn this into a toddler beanie? how many stitches in the first round?
Does the brim stretch out after wearing like so many others?
Does the brim stretch out after wearing over time?
I've been having trouble make this hat with Hometown super bulky weight 6 and 81 yards. Mine have been coming out matching number of stitches but I'm still ending up at 5" for the 3rd round in diameter. I'm not sure what's going wrong. I've tried to make this hat several times now.
This means you need to go up in hook size
Thank you so much for the tutorial! Beautiful hat! I am making one for myself! If I made the brim a bit wider in order for it to fold over (I really like a fold over brim) would it be too thick when I folded it over? Would I have to make the hat shorter before adding the brim?
I honestly don’t know but I suspect it might be a bit too thick
hi, i only got 5 inches to start, what should i do. increase another round to get to 6 inches?
I would recommend going up a hook size or 2 instead of trying to change the pattern.
I LOVE this pattern!!! It is easier to follow than I thought it would be! I am so excited to complete it! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you! I'm so glad you like it❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love this tutorial and can’t wait to try!! I’ve been crocheting for a while but I’m still not super fluent, if I wanted to use 2 colors for this hat where should I switch yarns?
You could just switch colors every round. That would be pretty. Or you could carry both yarns throughout the entire hat and switch colors for your post stitches. Does that make sense?
Did I do something wrong? It is most definitely not big enough to fit in my head Or my husband's! 😭 I've had a rough couple of days
I’m so sorry 😞 My guess would be your tension is too tight. Did you reach my gauge? That’s really important. But if you don’t want to scrap your hat and start over, what I would do is add more rounds until it’s long enough. The material should be really stretchy since you are working in the back loops of your stitches. Maybe try that or go up 2-3 hook sizes. I hope your day gets better 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
your explanations and your camera placement are perfect. I love the hat also. I donate a lot of hats and it's very cold here so this will be great. I also have a LOT of Hometown yarn that I didn't know what to do with but I do now...thank you so much
Thank you so much for your kind feedback ❤️ I’m sure your hats will be greatly appreciated by those who are blessed with them☺️
hey i havent crochet for awhile i was able to finish until round 3, the thing is when i check the diameter its only 5 inches, do i have to start again?
I would start over with a larger hook size
What size hook? My yarn label says L. Lion Brand Hometown yarn, size 6 extra bulky.
All supplies are listed in the description box below the video. Click the tiny down arrow to the bottom right of the video. I personally used a 9.0 mm hook, but I would go up a hook size if you don’t have the 9.0 mm.
Love this! Very clever about placing a piece of ribbon on the Pom Pom elastic 😊
I’ve actually gotten lazier and smarter since this video😂 I now tie a piece if yarn around it that’s about 5-6" long and knot the ends together near the bottom. Then the knot/yarn is easier to grab and pull through the top of the hat than a short piece of ribbon.

I need to try this one ! Can I make it with a weight 5 ? Any adjustments needed ?
Never mind I see a previous reply , I’ll just experiment
Nice
Thanks for this delightful pattern -- and for making this beanie a joy to make!! Very easy & only took a couple of hours to make!! 😀💗
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing this fantastic video. I have just made this hat and it is a lovely fit and design.😊👍
Thank you! I’m so glad you like it 😊
would you suggest using a 10 mm hook for hookers with tight tension? Thanks x
Definitely would go up at least to a 10.0 mm if you crochet tightly. I crochet very loosely, and I usually have to go down 2 hook sizes to meet other designer’s gauge swatches. Lol
@@DaysCrochet Thank you! I will try making it both ways. Your tutorial is perfect. Love the pointing and pulling stitches to show us exactly what you mean. Great tutorial.
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it 🤗
Just made this hat as a gift for my sister in law.. I will be making more just like it🥰
Wonderful! I hope she loves it☺️
Do you have the pattern for a size 3-6 month (17” head) ?
You could just use a smaller hook and some size 4 worsted weight yarn or possibly size 5 chunky weight yarn. You could also do fewer sts in round 1.
I watched this right in the middle of making hats for HatNotHate and am starting this one next. Love it! Thanks
How awesome!! That’s s great idea!
What size hook were you using?
