This video is SO CLEAR - thank you for explaining clearly how to scale up each size. Been looking for a foundational beanie pattern to learn by heart, and this one is exactly what I needed. Thank you 😊
You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you this is the best all day hat I have ever made if you have a bad hair day put your hat on and do what you have to do !
Love it! Thanks so much!
Thankyou for all your help. It is easy to understand. I crocheted and knitted in the past and my 14 almost 15 yr old grandgal is doing granny squares and made a sweet tote; so!! I thought I would start with baby beanies for a hospital nursery or neo-natal....so many ways to help others again.
How fun! I'm glad it was helpful! And yes a lovely way to donate!
Thanks for sharing this . This is such an easy pattern. I made mine short just above the ears to wear under my bicycle helmet for early spring morning bike commutes. I'll be making a few of these to coordinate with my several pair of crocheted fingerless gloves. Thanks.
What a great idea! I'm glad it was helpful for you.
Great tutorial, Thanks for broken it down with the difference sizes. I will use this to make my neighbor kids and add a hdc scarf to match. Look forward to seeing more tutorial. Just came across your channel today.
Thank you! I'm so glad you were able to use it!
Thank you! I wanted a basic HDC hat for a woman for using Wool Ease Fair Isle yarn. You explain it very well.
Glad it was helpful!
For a ladies size I stop increase after row seven. If not the hat will be too big and I measured my head it's 22 1/2 in. I get the same gauge as you. I use 5mm clover hook also Lion Brand Heartland. What do you think could be the problem? Please help. Many thanks. Right now I'm working on a mans and I stopped at round 8. I'll let you know if it is too big for a male.
Hi Katherine, I don't think you're doing anything wrong! We may be measuring differently, once we start working sometimes our gauge changes so it could be that. If you need to stop a round early then definitely do that so if fits!
I agree, KH. 72 stitches around seems too big; my other (#4 wt, H hook) patterns usually have only around 60 stitches max around the bottom. I may stop sooner on this pattern, too. Thanks for posting that!
I would like to put a brim at bottom for a 3 month old
That's a great idea. This is a dc hat but it finishes off with a post stitch ribbing if you'd like to try that ua-cam.com/video/lphdGoTcNEc/v-deo.html

When we use dk yarn and sport weight yarn how many stitches should be cast in magic circle.
Generally it's 8 for a hdc hat no matter the yarn weight, you would just need to do more increase rounds to get to size.
Do I measure the crown from points or sides/ in-between the points?
I would say the points since the yarn stretches and when you work the next rounds it tends to grow the circle a bit larger anyway.
@@ChristaCoDesign thank you
Do you have the instructions for this beanie written out?
Yes, you can find them here christacodesign.com/easy-half-double-crochet-beanie-pattern-free-in-all-sizes/
If you would add another color yarn how would you connect..😊
Hi! Great question. You would join your last round, pull up a long loop and cut your current yarn color, leaving a long tail to weave in. Join your new yarn color with a slip stitch to the first stitch of the round, and proceed! I hope this helps.
how many stitches should there be in rows 4 and beyond?
Hi, it depends on the size you're making. Each round of increases adds 8 stitches. You can see the line by line written pattern here if you want to check for your size christacodesign.com/easy-half-double-crochet-beanie-pattern-free-in-all-sizes/
I would like to know too.
It would be very helpful if you gave a stitch count at the end of each row of the increase.
Thanks for this. If it helps, each round where you're increases adds 8 stitches. After you stop increasing the stitch count stays the same. I hope this helps!
While doing the rows/circles, the circle begins to ruffle, am I doing something wrong?
Since you're increasing sometimes a little ruffle is ok and will flatten out as you work the remaining rounds. But if it's ruffling a lot then double check your stitch count. It usually means there are too many stitches. If you're stitch count is correct and it's still ruffling more than you think it should you can try going down a hook size, or skipping a round of increases and doing a regular round. I hope this helps!
Really wish you finished the whole hat 🤦♀️😩😑
Hi! After increases it's just a one round repeat, you can see that round at 12:19 and get the finished heights for each size. There's really not much more to show after that one round. Do you have a specific question I can help you with?
@@ChristaCoDesign for someone with learning difficulties it is just easy to watch a full complete video of the entire project. No question! Thanks anyways...
