    In the updated pattern/video I increase after the stitches instead of before. However it will turn out exactly the same with the same stitch count.
    Updated video tutorial for the basic beanie pattern.

    I taught myself to crochet 55 years ago, but I always hated my projects. UA-cam did not exist so I learned from a free pamphlet that came with the yarn. Printed booklets were expensive so the details were too brief. I have NEVER had such a clear demonstration of why the chain two doesn't count until today. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I subscribed to your channel and I'm looking forward to watch all your videos. Who says you can't teach an old dog a new trick?

    I made this 3 times and it would be to big. I am a beginner and I finally found out what I was doing wrong. Instead of crocheting in the middle of the double crochet stitch I was crocheting in each space and the double crochet stitch. Since I am doing it right it turned out beautiful. Thank you

    This video is one of the best I have seen. You speak clearly and go at a pace anyone can follow. Only thing I wish you had repeated the row count from where the increases stopped and you just made a DC in each stitch. I wasn’t quiet clear on whether the rows were from the beginning or at the point the increase stopped. It’s probably just me but I thought I would mention it. But you are a very good teacher and I hope you do a lot more videos. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Merry Christmas to you and your family for 2022.

I would love to make a robe out of that super soft yarn that ppl are making blankets out of, I'm not sure what it's called but I've seen the yarn smaller and not chunky like they use for the blankets, think it would be so comfy as I LOVE my blanket... thanks again!

  • @menahomberg
    @menahomberg 8 місяців тому

    I like how you used a much lighter yarn color for this hat because it’s so much easier to see your stitches.
    The only thing is maybe use a worsted weight yarn instead of cotton yarn because cotton yarn doesn’t have much elasticity to it and if you’re planning on wearing it for winter, it won’t keep you warm in the cold weather.

  • @anamikarao9594
    @anamikarao9594 Рік тому +1

    Most part is easy and I was able to finish the beanie. Only part I felt difficult is to get the number or count at the end of each rows. So I struggled a bit to know how many each row should have. The count was given at the beginning but not from the single crotchet rows onwards. Overall good video. Thanks.

    Why does it look like it has small gaps when you are crocheting it? Are these small gap’s visible when you wear the beanie?
    Also is it ok if I only crochet the horizontal rows ? I mean that is it ok if I don’t do the last part(the vertical rows) or will it not fit?
    Also my yarn is a bit thin is it ok if I use 3mm hook? Or will the beanie look different? My yarn is 360 yrd

    Okay this video is so put together BUT it’s either hit or miss if your beanie turns out the right size or not. I’ve done this pattern for several beanies and they ALL turn out different. I even stitch mark my last dc in the round to be sure I’m not adding an extra stitch every row. Mine doesn’t dome at all when hers does. Idk if she updated this tutorial because she got people saying the same thing in her previous video but this video is getting the same results. I’m just confused…

      Yes. I tried this 5x. Finally, I got it to be the right size with a smaller hook, then switched to a bigger hook when it was becoming too small. I also did not continue with all of the ending rows because it was becoming too large. Next time I will prob do 8 or 9 rows so I can fit all of the ending pretty rows (I obviously don’t know what they’re all called lol. The reverse back stitch thingy lol)

    I always thought the beginning rounds should lie flat, and that the circle should not begin to "dome up" significantly until the crown is completed. Also that if it domes earlier, it means your hook is too small. Am I missing something?

    Mine is kinda small since I don't have a 5.0mm hook and I'm using a 2.5mm hook, I think that's why it's kinda small
