I just finished making this hat for a friend of mine. This tutorial was hands down one of the best I've seen on RU-vid and your demonstration for the sewing part helped tremendously! Thanks for making this tutorial!!🦋
I've been crocheting 5 hours and still not done XD tho its just the spots and gills are missing, thank you for the tutorial its so easy to follow and your explanation really helps
Great tutorial but I'm almost done with the hat and there's no way it will fit my head even though I used the same hook size/yarn size😅 Make sure to measure each step of the way so you don't have to redo it later bc it's too small! Even if I made my tension looser, I don't see how this would fit an adult head. Thankfully I'll just be able to give my niece this adorable bucket hat and I'll try again with some more increases or a larger hook in the future!
This hat looks so cute!! I wanted to ask if you knew what kind of yarn you used and the size / weight of it. I've had trouble crocheting stuff because of the type of yarn I used in the past, so it'd be super helpful !
Hey there! Thank you for bringing up this question. I managed to find the tag for the red yarn I used and it says it is acrylic yarn, 190 meters and 100 grams. Unfortunately I couldn't find the tag for the white yarn, but I'm most certain that it is also acrylic yarn, and just one level thinner than the red yarn I used. Hope this helps ^^
i am making this for a costume as a forest elf and it looks so good. The only problem is that it is slightly to big. I also used a 5.25mm crochet hook so that might be the problem. Thank you so much for this tutorial!!!!!!!
I made one. It looks a little different, but it still looks good. I just need some cottage-core to go with it now neck it doesn’t look right with my usual gothic appearance.
Sure ^^ it might take some practice to get started, but once you get the hang of things, its a suitable project for a beginner. The gills might be a bit of challenge but even without them, you can have a pretty great mushroom hat!
@@PrettyMuchParadise thanks so much! I'll definitely learn crocheting if time permits & make this bucket hat my (hopefully) first project! I just really like it lol again thanks for sharing the tutorial w us!
So I have a question, I made an off white base hat and for the spots I’m doing a royal blue. Would I make the gills the royal blue like the spots or would I make the gills white?
I love the idea of the new colors you're working with! I would say that just depends on your own taste, but I personally think the blue gills will give it a nice contrast and pop of color ^^
@@PrettyMuchParadise okay thank you so much and thank you for responding so quickly I just finished the base hat like ten minutes ago. I’m gonna give the blue gills a go!!
Hey there! The original pattern is in the description, and in order to have a larger hat you only need to expand the top of the hat, sides, and the brim by a few rounds, equally. (example: if you add 2 rounds to the top of the hat, you should also add 2 to the sides and 2 to the brim) The pattern you need to follow for each of these 3 parts is exactly the same as the previous rounds of the same area. So for the top of the hat, when round 10 is 8 half double crochet (hdc) and 1 increase (inc), round 11 would be 9 hdc and 1 inc, round 12 would be 10 hdc and 1 inc, and so on. But do remember what number of hdc you end it on here, as you'll need it for the brim later. For the sides the pattern is just 1 hdc in each stitch so just repeat that for the next rounds that you're adding too. Now when you get to the brim, you're gonna continue with the previous pattern you were following for the top of the hat. So if the last round of the top of your hat was 10 hdc and 1 inc, here you will begin the first round of the brim with 11 hdc and 1 inc, then 12 hdc and 1 inc, and so forth until the brim has the desired length. Just note that the first round of the brim is worked in the front loops only, but the next ones are done normally. Hope this helps!
Love this! Half way making this for my friends baby due in May! Only thing is is that the website that the written pattern is on is down :( is there any other written alternative pls? 💓
Hey there! Glad to hear that its okay now. If it happens to go down again, send me a message on my Instagram so I can send it to you! Have fun crocheting ^^💖
Holii✨What type of yarn is it? I see that it is very pretty and it makes me still have form and stay hard ando with form 💕 I don't know if you understand me, it's that I don't know much English 😩 Ihope your aswer ✨💕🌈
Hey there ^^ The red yarn I used was acrylic yarn, 190 grams, and 100 meters. The white yarn is also acrylic yarn, and just a little thinner than the red yarn. Hope this answers your question!
I just spent 4 hours (at least) on the circle... For it to become ruffled. Is it worth to try save it or start over before I put in another hours? Great tutorial tho! It's probably just my yarn :/
Hiya! If you've just begun crocheting for the first time, this is a very common thing that happens, and it happened to me too! The best thing to do is to undo your project and start all over again. You'll see that your work is already looking better and you will probably notice getting faster at it too. Here are some further tips that might help you out: 1. Make sure that your hook and yarn match each other in terms of size. For example, your hook isn't too small/too big for your yarn. 2. Pay attention to how much tension you use when crocheting. If you're holding and crocheting too tightly or too loosely (or perhaps even varying your tension), this can cause some issues and make the results look not so great. 3. Make sure your'e understanding and following the pattern correctly. Sometimes too many or too little stitches in each round can cause ruffling or curling. If there were any more questions or issues, don't hesitate to ask ^^ Good luck!
Honestly, I haven't tried this pattern with double crochet so I'm not sure how it would turn out. I suppose it would be mostly the same but since double crochet stitches are taller than half double crochet, you might end up with a less dense texture at the end.
Heya! The red yarn I used was acrylic yarn, 190 meters and 100 grams, and I believe it's a #4 type yarn. The white yarn was also acrylic, and I'd say its a #3 type yarn, just one level thinner than the red.
Hi ^^ My skein of red yarn was 190 grams and 100 meters, but I didnt use the whole skein for this hat, so I'm not really sure how many grams it took. If I were to guess though, I would say 3/4 of the whole skein was used.
For 2 half double, you put 1 half double crochet in each of the next 2 stitches, and likewise with 3 half double crochet, you put 1 half double crochet in each of the next 3 stitches!
Heya! The written pattern for this hat is linked in the description and in there you can see how many stitches you need to have in each round. Let me know if you have trouble opening the link and I will write out the numbers for you in a comment right here! ^^
Anyone has any idea whats wrong w my gills? I almost finished them but they got sooo long - as in, each row got longer and longer and longer. If my first row was 10 CM, the last row was like 16 CM. I thought it was because I would alwqys chain two, but when I tried to not chain 2, the rows obviously don’t look what they are supposed to look like. Any ideas?😅
hi, i'm making this hat, because it's so cute, and so far i love it. I wanted to ask if it would be okay with you if I used your design to sell, like on etsy. thank you!!!
Heya! Thank you so much for asking. And yes, the pattern is free so it's totally okay if you want to make and sell them! Although credit for the pattern/video would be appriciated if possible, but if not, its still all good 💕 Do send me a picture of your end result, I'd love to see how it turns out ^^
@@PrettyMuchParadise ah ya, I tried those and it kept happening. If I did the x backwards, that may have been it, but otherwise only about two outta 6-7 attempts worked. Thank you tho! I used this vid a few weeks ago and made a mushroom hat (not the best but I attempted cuz I had just gotten back into crocheting). Otherwise, AMAZING tutorial! Sorry I type a lot lol
@@MeiDoesStuffYT I think that's totally normal, don't worry about it! The magic ring is tricky and I had some trouble nailing it too when I first started crocheting. I'm so glad that you found the video helpful, and thank you for your comment! ^^💖
@@PrettyMuchParadise oh alr! That was kinda my first time actually starting to do more complexish stuff aside from what my mom taught me, you’re welcome!!
Hi there! An increase is when you put one more stitch into the same space you were working in. So for example, if a patterns says to half double crochet (hdc) 8 and increase (inc) 1, that means you should put 1 hdc into each of the next 8 stitches, and then put 2 of them in the stitch that comes after. So in total, you should've crocheted 10 stitches. The point of increasing is to gradually expand our work. I've explained this a bit at 3:52, 4:42, and 6:31 as well, but if its still not clear, there are many video tutorials that do a great job of explaining it!
Following the pattern here, I'd suggest you go for 11-12 rows for the top of the hat, 9-10 rows for the sides of the hat, and 5-6 rows for the brim. Hope it helps!
Hey there! Make sure you are adding the front loops and back loops correctly when they come up in the pattern. Otherwise the whole thing will turn out flat!
Hey there! I'm sorry but I can only answer this in proximations as I didn't measure them while making this. My red yarn was 100 grams to start with and I used about 3/4 of it so that would be approximately 70-80 grams. And I'm really unsure about the white yarn, I apologize for that.
Of course! This hat is adult sized (it fit me perfectly and for reference, the diameter of my head is 54 cm), but of course you can increase or decrease the number of rows on the top, sides, and brim of the hat so that it's the perfect size for you or anyone else you're making it for! If it helps, I've also mentioned the sizes of each part of the hat in the video: Top: 16.5 cm Sides: 7 cm Brim: 4.5 cm
Im so sorry to hear that :( You could try searching for another bucket hat tutorial for the base, as there's loads of them here on RU-vid! And then you can get back this video to make the spots and gills and complete your mushroom hat. Hope this helps ^^
Heya! I suppose youre refering to the top of your hat that keeps curling on itself. That could have a number of reasons: 1. Make sure that your hook and yarn match each other in terms of size . For example , your hook isn't too small / too big for your yarn. 2. Pay attention to how much tension you use when crocheting . If you're holding and crocheting too tightly or too loosely (or perhaps even varying your tension), this can cause some issues and make the results look not so great. 3. Make sure your'e understanding and following the pattern correctly. Sometimes too many or too little stitches in each round can cause ruffling or curling. You can check out the written pattern in the description, it might be easier for you to follow it that way. Keep track of the number of stitches you have at the end of each round to make sure youre doing it right. I hope this fixes your issue. If there were any more questions, I'd be glad to answer them ^^ good luck!
Thats so great to hear! Yeah, such mishaps are common when you're just starting to crochet. It happened to me when I was starting out too. A little practice should do the trick. Good luck! ^^
