I’m a beginner and just finished mine. Thank you so much. I’m recovering from cancer and need to rest but I began to go crazy just laying around. I thought myself some basics and then found your video. It feels so good to accomplish something beautiful right now. You are a blessing to me. Thank you again!
Leah Marchand I’m so sorry to hear about your cancer but completely understand how restless one can become (I’ve had several major surgeries). I’m so glad that you learned to crochet and that this pattern has worked well for you! Have a wonderful day👍 Kathie
Leah I am making this hat now for the first time I am hoping it turns out just as beautiful. I know your msg was from a year ago but I saw where you had cancer and I just want to say that I hope and pray that all is well with you and that your walking in healing. I will say a prayer for you tonight. God bless you
I made this hat it came out nice. I had to do 38 rows for it to fit my head. I know everyone's tension is different. So dont be afraid to add or take away rows for it to be the right fit. I kept wrapping it around my head to see if it went almost completely around but I left room for it to stretch.
Updating. I’ve made two of these, and now there’s four in line from requests. These are SO cool, warm, cute and in style! I recommend this to anyone who has even basic crochet skills! Thank you again for this awesome, simple pattern!
Thanks for sharing this tutorial. Pattern works up well with reccomended yarn and specified sized hook. I finished up two hats in dove grey and two in winter white! So warm and cozy!
I’ve been using your instructions and making hats with the pom-poms on them and everybody is raving about how pretty they are. Thank you so much God bless.
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGridalso I’m making it for my dad, it’s the first one I’ve ever made and am going to make more for my entire family for Christmas, that means I have to make 9 of them…
That's a beautiful hat, I bet it's very warm. My wife crochets, I wish she would make me a hat, but no I had to get one from Walmart. She just likes crocheting afghans only.I need to have my wife watch this. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the comment! It is super warm and soft too! And it is such an easy project she might want to give it a try! I guarantee she could probably make it in under an hour :-)
I'm a beginner, I've only ever made basic baby hats and 2 baby blankets for my kids. This is the first time I've seen a hat made like this and yours is gorgeous! I'm going to try doing this for my sister's for their Christmas present today!
Hi, sorry to bother you, is it possible to tell me the measurements of the finished piece before its sewn together? Mine seems to e coming out huge and I've frogged it twice 😅
@@s.mohammad2360 The adult hat rectangle should measure between 10-11 inches high and 20-21 inches around for an average size. More information is in the description below the video and also on my website. 🙂
I love blanket yarn by bernat. I made a blanket using the ribbing but with a half double crochet stitch. I never thought to make a hat but I Love how big and soft this is. I will be doing this tonight. Thank you. I am going to look at your channel for more ideas and may subscribe.
Appreciate that very much. We are a homesteading channel, not a crochet channel, and therefore do a little bit of everything! That may or may not be for you but we really appreciate your comment. Please let me know how the hat works out for you :-) Kathie
The tutorial is so good. I have recently taught myself to crochet using crochet tutorials ( yours included). I was a knitter and I broke my left arm this summer so currently not able to knit. I have just crocheted 5 of these hats. I love them.
Julie Vitto sorry about your arm but happy to hear that you haven’t given up on being creative! I’m glad that you found this helpful and appreciate the comnent❤️
Thank you so much. It's just perfect for my great niece. As for raccoon fur, it's gorgeous. I'm from the south and some people don't realize that raccoons get squashed on the road (just like deer)and people pick them up to sell the fur. So, people aren't just randomly killing raccoons.
Great tutorial. After crocheting many hats, using many different patterns, this one fits the best. I will be making many more for gifts and donations. Thank you for sharing!
I am doing this right now as I had a skein of Bernat blanket in the same colour . This will be perfect for our cold Manitoba winters here in Canada . Thank you so much for sharing 🥰
This my third hat! I’ve made 2 child sizes and this adult for my daughter. I’m getting better with each one! The first 2 you can see where I’ve sewn it together at the bottom.. too tight and there’s a dip.. but still cute :) and have my Pom poms now too- thank you so much!!
So I found this on accident and im so freaking glad I did!! It's so easy. However, the bernat blanket yarn I'm using is not as chunky as yours. So I've noticed with mine, if I want a floppy, I have to add some stitches. And in order to fit my head or even my daughter's, I have to almost double the rows. However, it turned out great!! Thank you!
I really enjoyed this video. I am very new to crochet and the stiches you use are very simple, so I am confident I can accomplish this. I like the fact that the fat yarn makes it possible to complete quickly. Thanks again.
This was my first shot at crocheting anything, it turned out amazing, thank you for the way you explain the steps clear and precise! Oh, and my sister was thrilled with her new hat lol
I think it is a great hat to start with...it is actually easier than most other patterns because of the large size hook and yarn and you can accomplish something usable in a relatively short amount of time which feels good! This is the pattern I actually use to teach others to crochet! Please let me know how it works out for you. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and I wish you a very happy new year! Kathie
Creating A Simpler Life - loved how the hat almost crocheted itself super fast and looks fab. Didn’t have a fur Pom Pom but made a lovely one in white to match the hat. Thanks again
This is a great pattern certainly using a solid colore of yarn. I made my first with a black and white mix was curing my choice. Hard to find the back loop.
I just wanted to say hi and I can’t thank you enough for this pattern it was so fun to make . It did take me more than an hour LOL !!! But I’m so happy with the end result . I used a fake fur pom-pom and I sewed a button on the top of the hat inside and I looped the pom-pom around the button so they can easily detach it if they want to wash the hat . I’m making 3 hats one for my daughter-in-law and my 2 daughters i’m going to make a leather label from an old leather belt that my husband no longer uses and my husband is going to help me punch their initials into the leather and then I will attach that on to the hat thank you again so much I have been searching high and low and I’m so glad I came across your video have a wonderful day your friend Sue💕 ps do you have a Email I could send you a picture of my hats I’m not on Facebook unfortunately thank you
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for sharing that. I love the button idea so it is removable and will have to give that a try myself. I also absolutely love your idea to repurpose an old belt for the tags....that is BRILLIANT! I am absolutely going to do that next time for sure. I do have an e-mail and would absolutely love to see your finished hat pictures. You can send them to mrandmrscorbi@gmail.com. Oh, and I bet you will be finishing them in under an hour before you know it! Have a very joyous holiday and a happy new year!
This was an easy fast pattern! Thank you and I do so appreciate patterns that resemble knitting as I crochet so much faster. I can change the yarn to a wonderful wool yarn also as I gift to others that enjoy wool hats and scarves...It is easy care though with acrylics. :)
Romy yes! It is wonderful in wool. I don’t know what kind you use but when I did it I had to use two strands together to create the bulkyness with the 9 mm crochet hook.
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid Oh goodness! I use all kinds of wool and the last hat I just crocheted was my own hand spun yarn...double ply with some roving a friend gave me. Usually I spin with the roving I make myself as well from raw fleeces..my favorites are Merino wool, Icelandic and Alpaca...of course I sometimes find a score on Cashmere and baby Mohair which I also love. Although I love how soft angora is, the loss of hair in the project is a bit of pain. LOL
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid Thank you so much for kind compliment! I learned when I was sent a 17 lb raw fleece in the mail from a Suffolk sheep that had not been sheared in 3 years. The sheep looked like a marshmellow. The farmer had taken them in to help out someone who couldn't afford to keep them for a while. The first thing she did was have them sheared. As it is a meat sheep, the wool is not soft, was free costing only the postage but great for slippers etc...I didn't know how to spin or to clean it, much less to skirt it. So I processed nearly the whole thing into a cotton looking fiber....used a hand spindle for spinning the entire thing. After that, I used a hand spindle for 2 years before buying a display antique spinning wheel dated in the 1880s. A 50 year display wheel.... it needed several repairs I did myself to begin spinning again and it has now spun hundreds of skeins! I leaned to clean, card, spin and so much on UA-cam!
Oh no! That probably happened because your stitch is a little tighter than mine. Hope the next one fits❤️ and if you’re interested please subscribe to my other channel where future crochet and crafts will be shared ua-cam.com/channels/g0nLw2ziZMxENqLgbq4SHg.html thanks so much ❤️ Kathie
No real fur Pom necessary. Plenty of fake fur ones out there. I will say the snap is an awesome way to attach it. I found a way to attach the fake ones with a button so it’s removable for washing. Great video and I’m going to make it today!
cindy del checcolo I understand the fur isn’t for everyone and think the button is a great idea to make the faux ones removable! Thanks so much for sharing that! Have a great day ❤️ Kathie
I love the pattern. I do agree with others, it was hard to see the yarn and some of what you were doing. Maybe better if the yarn was placed in front of a dark background since you were using white yarn. I too will only use a faux fur pom pom.
Alexis Verbic thank you. I really appreciate the input and will be sure to keep the color of the yarn in mind in the future. Have a wonderful weekend! Kathie
Such an in-depth tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m not sure if you answered this in the video/comments and I just didn’t hear/read it, but how many hats are you able to make from one skein? I want to make a bunch of matching hats for my family as Christmas presents, so I just want an idea of how much I need. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you! One skein should make 2 . 😊 please subscribe to my new crochet channel. Not posting much now but I am planning to as soon as our house is finished! youtube.com/@creatingasimplerlifecrafts?si=WvzJx0FUs8YRb49C
😲 I was looking through my yarn stash last night and came across like 4 balls of the bernat blanket yarn I forgot I had! I know what I'm making today!!
So I finished my hat! My very first hat I've ever crocheted! It is also the first time I realized I have a huge head! I did the 28 rows but it looked so small! So I went up to 34 rows. Even that was small! I am giving it to my daughter and attempting another one for myself.
Sorry I only got a chance to respond now. This might help: The adult hat rectangle should measure between 10-11 inches high and 20-21 inches around for an average size head. Hopefully the next one comes out ok!
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid Just finished my 2nd and I love it!! I ended up making it 13x24. I guess I got a big noggin. I love the pattern! The best part about it is it is easily customizable to the users needs! My daughter is in love with her hat (shes 10) and has been wearing it around the house all day 😊 Thank you for sharing this lovely tutorial!
You are amazing! Been looking for months for a quick, easy pattern....that l like! Finally found yours. Don't know how to look up the leather supplies you used and where to purchase....help!

@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid oh my goodness! You ARE amazing. I just threw that out there not really expecting a reply. I can't tell you how much l appreciate you taking the time to respond....and so quickly. Thank you! Thank you
@@rosesponaugle3503 No problem! We are so busy building our house right now that I haven't crocheted in over a year! I miss it so much. Please let me know how it turns out :-) I do have another crochet channel I plan to add to when the house is done.
I googled how to find "links in the description" and....l now know how to do it!! I'm very techno deficient....ugh! The leather labels really add to the look of the hat. Praying the building of your house goes well during these uncertain times. We've done it twice 😬 lt's quite the undertaking but we learned a lot each time and are still married!😄 💛🌿Thanks again!🌿💛
Hi Kathy great videos I have some beautiful hand spun worsted weight yarn I would love to make this hat from any suggestions on hook size and chains needed
Wow! I’m really hoping to try hand spun someday. But I really couldn’t say what you should use. However if you look at the description below the video you may be able to figure it out based on actual size. I hope it works out!
Thank you! Great tutorial! I had the same yarn for ever and I didn't know what to do with it! I'm really happy that I found your tutorial! God bless you! 🌞👍👍👍👏👏👏👏🌞
The formula that worked for me when I measured the circumference of my head (21.25 in.) ...my starting chain was 32 chains and 28 rows. The fit turned out smug but it also fit over my ears ..with a turned up brim of about 3.5 in. Next time I will do less starting chains for the height as it was too tall for me. Perhaps 28 chains will work next time...as I’d rather not have much of a slouch..I also use faux fur pompoms.
I am so sorry to hear that! All it is is going into the back loop only. A normal stitch goes into the front and the back. You can do it normal if you want or check out this video on how to do it ua-cam.com/video/macf66Jw3Dc/v-deo.html go to 1:27 where they start to show it. I really hope it works out for you!
Thank you for doing this tutorial!! I also read where you suggested 28 to 30 stitches for a larger adult hat. I am agree with is larger number. I started with the 25 chains and then measured it by putting it around my head but it wasn't long enough. I then added up to 30 stitches and remeasured. I am working on this hat with the self striping Bernat Blanket yarn because it is what I had on hand.
Angela Johnson hi. The 25 chains is actually for the height of the hat. The 28-30 is for the rows of sc. please double check that and let me know how it works t❤️ thanks ~ Kathie
Tammy I would use the 8 mm in that case. 10 mm would make your hat huge. Either way, your numbers of chains & rows will be different than hers if you go up or down a size
I learned the hard way on another hat tutorial... and you shouldn't. I have one huge hat 🤣. It's better to make a run to the store or order online. 60 years old and still learning patience . ;)
I love the way this yarn looks. I do crochet hats and I’m going to make one using this yarn. Off to get some yarn. Thanks for the easy tutorial. ❣️Happy Day! Will make wonderful Christmas gifts. ❣️🎄🎁
Thank you so much! They do make wonderful Christmas gifts and they are very warm! I wear mine all the time and everyone loves them when I give them one :-) Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Please let me know how the hat turns out when you are done! Kathie
Creating A Simpler Life Hi Kathie - I made this hat tonite. It’s by far my favorite pattern and yarn. It is so soft and warm. Will be making some as Christmas gifts. Great pattern & Great tutorial. ❣️🎄🎁❄️⛄️🧣🧤❣️ PS - I will be making a matching scarf to go with my new hat! 🤗
pam bradshaw thank you so much for letting me know! That makes me so thankful, especially today! I wish you a very happy thanksgiving and a merry Christmas ~ Kathie
I find that the snap Pom Pom doesn’t stay on if you shake the hat or bump it, so I have to sew them on and tie a bow inside so it can be removed when the hat is washed.
Hello, I saw your video so I went through my yarn and found the Bernat, perfect! my hat came out great, just need to find the pom pom and another Christmas gift done! Thanks for the video... Merry Christmas 🎄
I respect that. if you use Bernat baby yarn you would have to use a much smaller hook size so I would recommend looking at the dimensions in the description below the video if you still want to make this for an adult. If you want to make it for a child I have another video here ua-cam.com/video/llXNgBBNfQU/v-deo.html
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid thank you so much for replying back to me so quickly I also want to tell you how much I love your way of thinking...my husband and I have just begun the steps to renovate and clean our current home to sell so that we can move into hopefully a small cabin like home way north in the woods!
My church family members and I each year do the operation Christmas child boxes to be sent all over the world. Can you make this hat for children. And can you use different colors. What size hook,? I have been chrocheting since I was 7years old. Its beautiful. I will make them when I get home. They are beautiful gifts for the operation Christmas child boxes. Can you make a scarf like this with the hat? I will let you know how everything comes out. Thankyou for doing your u tube channel and chrocheting this hat. Under an hour wow. This is what exactly I have been looking for. Love and God bless you Susan morris from Boston Massachusetts
Susan Morris it’s a size 9 hook and I’ve had several people request patterns for children or toddlers and also for a scarf so I’ll be working on them this weekend! Thanks so much for for watching and commenting ❤️
I commented on your other where I did a toddler hat and love it. I'm now working on an adult and have measured her head at 23". Well if I do the 28 rows it only measures 16". Am I right in figuring to make it the width of her head? Thanks so much and LOVE your teaching, right to the point! I'm going to be making 4 more for sons and daughter and love this yarn!!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. As far as the size, it really depends on how you crochet (tighter or looser), because when the hat is done it does have some stretch to it and you do not want it to end up being too loose.
Had very little crochet background. Never ever finished a crochet project. Making this as a gift for my elderly mom. Motivatesme to finish! Want to make them for gifts too. If I succeed. What size yarn needle do I need ? I can’t finish it until I get a yarn needle!
J K I really hope they come out great for you! Here is a link to amazon for an inexpensive yarn needle Susan Bates Crystallites Plastic Yarn Needle, 2-3/4-Inch, 2 Per Package - colors may vary www.amazon.com/dp/B000GBROXO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_vTscEbEDERX4A
Haha I noticed that too and love it! I personally reuse gift bags I've been given to hold my yarn or grocery bags purchased from the supermarket for about 99 cents. But absolutely love the box idea.
I realized after watching the recommended videos what I thought was a single crochet WAS NOT - I don’t know what stitch I’ve been doing all these years & I’ve made many blankets - also after crocheting 21 rows of this pattern my rectangle is narrow at the top & wider at the bottom & im using a black color yarn that’s hard to see the back loop - must’ve missed a few along the way. I’m starting over with a lighter color yarn - I’ll keep working it until I get it right 😜 thanks for teaching me something new 🙏🏼
Regarding the stitch, depending upon where you learned it, it may be different. I think that what I learned as a double is actually something different in other places too. I could be wrong but that is my thoughts about that. With respect to the hat, definitely don't give up! Thanks so much for sharing that with me and please let me know what you think when you get it done :-) Kathie
Creating A Simpler Life LOL 😂 I’ve only crochet with the same stitch that I learned in catholic school in Brooklyn NY at age 12 in 1970 - I only crochet blankets, boring I know but I enjoyed it - I came across your video last month & wanted to try to make a hat - thanks for the eye opener 👍🏻🙏🏼

Very nice!! Best use of a raccoon I've ever seen !!
Just finished mine.YAY! It's so soft😊
That’s wonderful!!! I love mine too❤️Kathie
Loved it, super fast and easy. Thanks so much.
Laura Young I appreciate that so much!! Have a great day ❤️ Kathie
Creating A Simpler Life - loved how the hat almost crocheted itself super fast and looks fab. Didn’t have a fur Pom Pom but made a lovely one in white to match the hat. Thanks again
Laura Young wonderful! I’m sure that Pom Pom looks great. Thanks so much for sharing that with me. I really appreciate the feedback ❤️ Kathie
I just finished your Buffalo plaid dish towel! I love your designs! I am a huge fan!
This is a great pattern certainly using a solid colore of yarn. I made my first with a black and white mix was curing my choice. Hard to find the back loop.
I just wanted to say hi and I can’t thank you enough for this pattern it was so fun to make .
It did take me more than an hour LOL !!! But I’m so happy with the end result .
I used a fake fur pom-pom and I sewed a button on the top of the hat inside and I looped the pom-pom
around the button so they can easily detach it if they want to wash the hat .
I’m making 3 hats one for my daughter-in-law and my 2 daughters i’m going to make a leather label from an old leather belt that my husband no longer uses and my husband is going to help me punch their initials into the leather and then I will attach that on to the hat thank you again so much I have been searching high and low and I’m so glad I came across your video have a wonderful day your friend Sue💕 ps do you have a Email I could send you a picture of my hats I’m not on Facebook unfortunately thank you
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for sharing that. I love the button idea so it is removable and will have to give that a try myself. I also absolutely love your idea to repurpose an old belt for the tags....that is BRILLIANT! I am absolutely going to do that next time for sure. I do have an e-mail and would absolutely love to see your finished hat pictures. You can send them to mrandmrscorbi@gmail.com. Oh, and I bet you will be finishing them in under an hour before you know it! Have a very joyous holiday and a happy new year!
I love this tutorial! Super easy and cute! Thank you!
I appreciate that so much! Have a wonderful night :-)
I will be off to the store tomorrow. It's beautiful. 👍
Resting Place J wonderful! Please let me know how it works out❤️ Kathie
I will be subscribing to your channel. I like that you take your time in explaining. Thank you
Resting Place J I really appreciate that very much ❤️
That looks so warm. Very nice design as well. Thanks for sharing.👍18
This was an easy fast pattern! Thank you and I do so appreciate patterns that resemble knitting as I crochet so much faster. I can change the yarn to a wonderful wool yarn also as I gift to others that enjoy wool hats and scarves...It is easy care though with acrylics. :)
Romy yes! It is wonderful in wool. I don’t know what kind you use but when I did it I had to use two strands together to create the bulkyness with the 9 mm crochet hook.
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid Oh goodness! I use all kinds of wool and the last hat I just crocheted was my own hand spun yarn...double ply with some roving a friend gave me. Usually I spin with the roving I make myself as well from raw fleeces..my favorites are Merino wool, Icelandic and Alpaca...of course I sometimes find a score on Cashmere and baby Mohair which I also love. Although I love how soft angora is, the loss of hair in the project is a bit of pain. LOL
Romy how amazing to spin your own!! That is on my list to learn one day❤️
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid
Thank you so much for kind compliment! I learned when I was sent a 17 lb raw fleece in the mail from a Suffolk sheep that had not been sheared in 3 years. The sheep looked like a marshmellow. The farmer had taken them in to help out someone who couldn't afford to keep them for a while. The first thing she did was have them sheared. As it is a meat sheep, the wool is not soft, was free costing only the postage but great for slippers etc...I didn't know how to spin or to clean it, much less to skirt it. So I processed nearly the whole thing into a cotton looking fiber....used a hand spindle for spinning the entire thing. After that, I used a hand spindle for 2 years before buying a display antique spinning wheel dated in the 1880s. A 50 year display wheel.... it needed several repairs I did myself to begin spinning again and it has now spun hundreds of skeins! I leaned to clean, card, spin and so much on UA-cam!
Romy gotta love you tube and that antique spindle sounds amazing!
I cant wait to make this hat. Thanks! On my way to amazon lol...
Wonderful!! Please let me know how it works out 👍❤️Kathie
Love this hat I’ve made one but guess I’ve got a bigger head lol, so I’ll add 2 more rows on the next one .
Oh no! That probably happened because your stitch is a little tighter than mine. Hope the next one fits❤️ and if you’re interested please subscribe to my other channel where future crochet and crafts will be shared ua-cam.com/channels/g0nLw2ziZMxENqLgbq4SHg.html thanks so much ❤️ Kathie
These are awesome u should sell these!! STUNNING!!!
Maybe I will someday but just too busy right now. I really appreciate the wonderful comment though❤️ Kathie
I really loved the way this hat turned out and how quick it was to make. I will definitely give it a try. Thank you for sharing 😁🇬🇧
Kay Jones thank you so much!
😄great pattern. Super easy and it looks super!
Lorraine Gentz thanks so much! Really appreciate that❤️ Kathie
This is my project for tomorrow. Thank you so very much for sharing the instructions Kathie. Absolutely lovely hat! 👍🍁
Raechelle Bennett wonderful! Please let me know how it works out for you! I made so many as gifts last year and everyone loved them!
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid I will for sure!
Thank you!
No real fur Pom necessary. Plenty of fake fur ones out there. I will say the snap is an awesome way to attach it. I found a way to attach the fake ones with a button so it’s removable for washing.
Great video and I’m going to make it today!
cindy del checcolo I understand the fur isn’t for everyone and think the button is a great idea to make the faux ones removable! Thanks so much for sharing that! Have a great day ❤️ Kathie
I love the pattern. I do agree with others, it was hard to see the yarn and some of what you were doing. Maybe better if the yarn was placed in front of a dark background since you were using white yarn. I too will only use a faux fur pom pom.
Alexis Verbic thank you. I really appreciate the input and will be sure to keep the color of the yarn in mind in the future. Have a wonderful weekend! Kathie
thank you so much for sharing this beautiful hat
Dorothy wallace ❤️ thank you so much for your kind comment! Kathie
Very nice and well explained I love Barnet yarn ,very easy to work with ,also your hat is beautiful
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that so much! Have a great day :-) Kathie
Such an in-depth tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m not sure if you answered this in the video/comments and I just didn’t hear/read it, but how many hats are you able to make from one skein? I want to make a bunch of matching hats for my family as Christmas presents, so I just want an idea of how much I need. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you! One skein should make 2 . 😊 please subscribe to my new crochet channel. Not posting much now but I am planning to as soon as our house is finished! youtube.com/@creatingasimplerlifecrafts?si=WvzJx0FUs8YRb49C
This is amazing I’m going attempting this hat right now 💜
Melissa Norton thank you! Please let me know how it works out for you! Have a wonderful night ❤️ Kathie
It turned out wonderful!!! This is definitely going to be a go to pattern for me💜💜💜 Thank you so much for a great video!
😲 I was looking through my yarn stash last night and came across like 4 balls of the bernat blanket yarn I forgot I had! I know what I'm making today!!
So I finished my hat! My very first hat I've ever crocheted! It is also the first time I realized I have a huge head! I did the 28 rows but it looked so small! So I went up to 34 rows. Even that was small! I am giving it to my daughter and attempting another one for myself.
Sorry I only got a chance to respond now. This might help: The adult hat rectangle should measure between 10-11 inches high and 20-21 inches around for an average size head. Hopefully the next one comes out ok!
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid Just finished my 2nd and I love it!! I ended up making it 13x24. I guess I got a big noggin.
I love the pattern! The best part about it is it is easily customizable to the users needs! My daughter is in love with her hat (shes 10) and has been wearing it around the house all day 😊 Thank you for sharing this lovely tutorial!
Mom0f5ive thank you so much for letting me know! I am so happy it worked out for your. My favorite part about this pattern is the simplicity ❤️
It is a lovely hat and a great tutorial. Thank you so much.
Rhoda Edwards appreciate that very much❤️ have a wonderful day! Kathie
I just saw in your description it is a 9 perfect and thank you so much
No problem 😊
You are amazing! Been looking for months for a quick, easy pattern....that l like! Finally found yours. Don't know how to look up the leather supplies you used and where to purchase....help!
Awe! Thanks so much! There are links below the video for crochet info and here’s a video on the leather labels ua-cam.com/video/BjiMqifewnE/v-deo.html let me know how it works out! ❤️ Kathie
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid oh my goodness! You ARE amazing. I just threw that out there not really expecting a reply. I can't tell you how much l appreciate you taking the time to respond....and so quickly. Thank you! Thank you
@@rosesponaugle3503 No problem! We are so busy building our house right now that I haven't crocheted in over a year! I miss it so much. Please let me know how it turns out :-) I do have another crochet channel I plan to add to when the house is done.
I googled how to find "links in the description" and....l now know how to do it!! I'm very techno deficient....ugh!
The leather labels really add to the look of the hat. Praying the building of your house goes well during these uncertain times. We've done it twice 😬 lt's quite the undertaking but we learned a lot each time and are still married!😄
💛🌿Thanks again!🌿💛
@@rosesponaugle3503 Awe, thanks so much! Really appreciate the words of support! ~Kathie
Literal life saver, thank you❤
Hi Kathy great videos I have some beautiful hand spun worsted weight yarn I would love to make this hat from any suggestions on hook size and chains needed
Wow! I’m really hoping to try hand spun someday. But I really couldn’t say what you should use. However if you look at the description below the video you may be able to figure it out based on actual size. I hope it works out!
Thank you! Great tutorial! I had the same yarn for ever and I didn't know what to do with it! I'm really happy that I found your tutorial! God bless you! 🌞👍👍👍👏👏👏👏🌞
Blanca Salazar oh that makes me so happy!! Please let me know how it works out for you ❤️Kathie
Super love it ! I was able to follow u u make so easy thank u so very much
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the comment and wish you a very happy new year. Kathie
The formula that worked for me when I measured the circumference of my head (21.25 in.) ...my starting chain was 32 chains and 28 rows. The fit turned out smug but it also fit over my ears ..with a turned up brim of about 3.5 in. Next time I will do less starting chains for the height as it was too tall for me. Perhaps 28 chains will work next time...as I’d rather not have much of a slouch..I also use faux fur pompoms.
rockytoronto I am so happy you figured out a way to make it work for you! ❤️ have a wonderful day. Kathie
Thank you for the video. You are a great teacher. 😊
Debra Copper I appreciate that so much! Have a wonderful day❤️
You would not believe how many times I have watched this video! lol! I still have trouble getting that back stitch.....still working it though!
I am so sorry to hear that! All it is is going into the back loop only. A normal stitch goes into the front and the back. You can do it normal if you want or check out this video on how to do it ua-cam.com/video/macf66Jw3Dc/v-deo.html go to 1:27 where they start to show it. I really hope it works out for you!
Great tutorial
Donna thank you so much!
Love this. Great job.
MsTrini thank you so much!
very nice! that yarn looks super soft👍
Jane: Life with Ken and Jane it is! Thanks so much for watching 😊
I must try to crochet this hat thank you so much
Patrice Duncan thank you so much! Have a wonderful day❤️
Thank you for doing this tutorial!! I also read where you suggested 28 to 30 stitches for a larger adult hat. I am agree with is larger number. I started with the 25 chains and then measured it by putting it around my head but it wasn't long enough. I then added up to 30 stitches and remeasured. I am working on this hat with the self striping Bernat Blanket yarn because it is what I had on hand.
Angela Johnson hi. The 25 chains is actually for the height of the hat. The 28-30 is for the rows of sc. please double check that and let me know how it works t❤️ thanks ~ Kathie
I don't have a 9 mm hook but I have an 8 and 10 will one of them work.
Tammy I would use the 8 mm in that case. 10 mm would make your hat huge. Either way, your numbers of chains & rows will be different than hers if you go up or down a size
I would agree that you should use the 8 and possibly add a few extra chains and rows to reach the desired size.
I learned the hard way on another hat tutorial... and you shouldn't. I have one huge hat 🤣. It's better to make a run to the store or order online. 60 years old and still learning patience . ;)
denise florence been there myself! Pulled out so many projects in my time❤️
Beautiful hat thank you aloha from Hawaii 🌺🌺🌺🌺
Thank you so much!

I love the way this yarn looks. I do crochet hats and I’m going to make one using this yarn. Off to get some yarn. Thanks for the easy tutorial. ❣️Happy Day!
Will make wonderful Christmas gifts. ❣️🎄🎁
Thank you so much! They do make wonderful Christmas gifts and they are very warm! I wear mine all the time and everyone loves them when I give them one :-) Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Please let me know how the hat turns out when you are done! Kathie
Creating A Simpler Life Hi Kathie - I made this hat tonite. It’s by far my favorite pattern and yarn. It is so soft and warm. Will be making some as Christmas gifts.
Great pattern & Great tutorial.
❣️🎄🎁❄️⛄️🧣🧤❣️
PS - I will be making a matching scarf to go with my new hat! 🤗
pam bradshaw thank you so much for letting me know! That makes me so thankful, especially today! I wish you a very happy thanksgiving and a merry Christmas ~ Kathie
Well done! Thank you!!!
I find that the snap Pom Pom doesn’t stay on if you shake the hat or bump it, so I have to sew them on and tie a bow inside so it can be removed when the hat is washed.
Thanks for letting me know
Hello, I saw your video so I went through my yarn and found the Bernat, perfect! my hat came out great, just need to find the pom pom and another Christmas gift done! Thanks for the video... Merry Christmas 🎄
Janice Miller wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing that. Merry Christmas and happy new year❤️
What size crochet hook do you use I've been using a P please post it for me I love your hats
Thanks! I see you found that it’s a 9 😊
Absolutely lovely, real fur though sorry that saddened me a little...can this be made with the bernat baby blanket...are they the same thing
I respect that. if you use Bernat baby yarn you would have to use a much smaller hook size so I would recommend looking at the dimensions in the description below the video if you still want to make this for an adult. If you want to make it for a child I have another video here ua-cam.com/video/llXNgBBNfQU/v-deo.html
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid thank you so much for replying back to me so quickly I also want to tell you how much I love your way of thinking...my husband and I have just begun the steps to renovate and clean our current home to sell so that we can move into hopefully a small cabin like home way north in the woods!
Thank you so much! Your plan sounds so relaxing and I really hope it works out for you❤️Kathie
My church family members and I each year do the operation Christmas child boxes to be sent all over the world. Can you make this hat for children. And can you use different colors. What size hook,? I have been chrocheting since I was 7years old. Its beautiful. I will make them when I get home. They are beautiful gifts for the operation Christmas child boxes. Can you make a scarf like this with the hat? I will let you know how everything comes out. Thankyou for doing your u tube channel and chrocheting this hat. Under an hour wow. This is what exactly I have been looking for. Love and God bless you Susan morris from Boston Massachusetts
Susan Morris it’s a size 9 hook and I’ve had several people request patterns for children or toddlers and also for a scarf so I’ll be working on them this weekend! Thanks so much for for watching and commenting ❤️
Great fun to make
One I somehow made big.
It could be a man's hat right.
Does anyone do a different top pomp
I made this size for myself but due to my tension being tighter it turned out to be perfect for my 8 yo daughter
That happens. You can increase chains and rows as needed to make one that will fit you❤️
I bought the snap pom poms on Amazon but mine look smaller than your. Do they have bigger sizes?
Great video thank you so much
Thanks so much! Yes, there are definitely different sizes.
Is it supposed to be slanted at the ends? I’m on row 6 and I noticed that it was slanted where you chain and turn your piece.
No, I have a feeling you’re losing a stitch on each row. Count your stitches.
I love this!!! Now I can make my own hat
I am so happy to hear that! Please let me know if you give it a try❤️
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid I sure will
I love it it’s so nice and easy. Thank You.
You are so welcome! I strive to keep things as simple as possible. Thanks so much for watching and for your kinds comment :-) Kathie
I commented on your other where I did a toddler hat and love it. I'm now working on an adult and have measured her head at 23". Well if I do the 28 rows it only measures 16". Am I right in figuring to make it the width of her head? Thanks so much and LOVE your teaching, right to the point! I'm going to be making 4 more for sons and daughter and love this yarn!!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. As far as the size, it really depends on how you crochet (tighter or looser), because when the hat is done it does have some stretch to it and you do not want it to end up being too loose.
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid Okay, shall do. It's just our family has large heads :)
@@dianeknaffla5925 LOL, I totally get that, so does mine!!!
Had very little crochet background. Never ever finished a crochet project. Making this as a gift for my elderly mom. Motivatesme to finish! Want to make them for gifts too. If I succeed.
What size yarn needle do I need ? I can’t finish it until I get a yarn needle!
J K I really hope they come out great for you! Here is a link to amazon for an inexpensive yarn needle Susan Bates Crystallites Plastic Yarn Needle, 2-3/4-Inch, 2 Per Package - colors may vary www.amazon.com/dp/B000GBROXO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_vTscEbEDERX4A
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to finish it off! Fingers crossed!!
I can’t believe I even got the rows done ! :) Thanks for the tutorial!
@@JK-wq7op you are very welcome :-)
Could you slip stitch the seam in this hat??
Yes, you could👍❤️
I liked so much but I need to know many rows?
Description below the video
Love this!! Thank you!!
When you chained 25 can you tell me how much it measured, because I chained 25 and it think that mine does not look like the same length as yours.
All the lengths are in the description below the video
Love this hat! Great tutorial! Your “yarn holder” made me laugh. I use a brown paper shopping bag LOL
I have used paper bags as well! Whatever is available and will work is OK by me! Have a wonderful day :-) Kathie
Haha I noticed that too and love it! I personally reuse gift bags I've been given to hold my yarn or grocery bags purchased from the supermarket for about 99 cents. But absolutely love the box idea.
CM Kar thank you😊
Lol I use my small clothes basket. I have used a box also my husband laughs and walks off.
Love the hat and the snoring in the background!!! I 🤪
Michelle Gates 😂 thanks so much!!! Have s great day ❤️ Kathie
Gorgeous Beanie's! Well done! Love the colorway as well. So fitting!!! 💖
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that - Kathie
I realized after watching the recommended videos what I thought was a single crochet WAS NOT - I don’t know what stitch I’ve been doing all these years & I’ve made many blankets - also after crocheting 21 rows of this pattern my rectangle is narrow at the top & wider at the bottom & im using a black color yarn that’s hard to see the back loop - must’ve missed a few along the way. I’m starting over with a lighter color yarn - I’ll keep working it until I get it right 😜 thanks for teaching me something new 🙏🏼
Regarding the stitch, depending upon where you learned it, it may be different. I think that what I learned as a double is actually something different in other places too. I could be wrong but that is my thoughts about that. With respect to the hat, definitely don't give up! Thanks so much for sharing that with me and please let me know what you think when you get it done :-) Kathie
Creating A Simpler Life LOL 😂 I’ve only crochet with the same stitch that I learned in catholic school in Brooklyn NY at age 12 in 1970 - I only crochet blankets, boring I know but I enjoyed it - I came across your video last month & wanted to try to make a hat - thanks for the eye opener 👍🏻🙏🏼
TheAll555 lol. At least what you learned stuck with you! And blankets are very useful!! ❤️Kathie
Could you tell me how to count the stitch’s? I’m making one for my dad and I’m not sure how to count them correctly
