Oh man do I love this!!! I just finished it! I used the Sentro 48 added 20 more rows to both and it came out perfect!! (I had sorta thick yarn). Thanks for the awesome pattern definitely gonna make a few more for Christmas parade we’ll be in soon 😩😂. ❤
Hi there. Thank you for your tutorial on this. I'm struggling to make a beanie for myself with a head circumference of 56 cm or 22 inches. How many rows should I knit my beanie?
The rows are going to give you more length in your hat, but the real issue will be the circumference. I recommend being more generous with your tension when you are joining the band area at the end of the project. You could even chain one in between the stitches to give it more give. I hope that makes sense!
Fun and easy pattern! My crocheted slip stich to join the brim has no stretch at all. Is this to be expected? Or is there another crochet stitch that would have a similar stretch to the knitting?
Im thinking to try leaving a very long tail of brim color (at waste yarn change), then use the tail to do single or half double crochet to join (instead of slip stitch) thoughts?
I love the Santa hat tutorial however, the finishing of the brim with slip stitch… it tends to tighten up the brim. It’s a little tight on my adult head… any solutions for that? Thank you!!
I would go up a few hook sizes and make sure to do it loosely. If worse comes to worse, maybe try chaining one in between the slip stitches to see if that helps
Great video, thanks so much. I checked your blog instructions for the number of rows to knit for the small hat and did not see them listed. How many rows of the body and brim do you knit for the small size? TIA
I love this, but when I slip stitched the brim it was NOT stretchy at all. What did I do wrong? It definitely doesn’t fit on my head because of the band of tight crochet at the top of the brim. Love the look though and sure there is an easy answer!
Thank you! Also I used the crochet hook I used last night when I was using DK … I’m using Aran tonight. Makes sense, my slip stitching last night was fine. Doh!! Thank you so much.
You know you able to be still on the knitting machine while you do a brim. I have done plenty. You don’t have to take off the machine then do the double brim. There some videos show you l. You do the color you want for the brim and then switch the color you want.
I think it should just be slightly bigger. I can’t imagine it would make a huge difference, but if you find it’s too big I might would cut out 2-3 rows of the hat body
