Easiest Beginner Crochet Hat - How to Make an Easy Crochet Beanie from a Rectangle - ONE Stitch 

This is how I’m experiencing it too! Haha. I’m noticing my rows are getting shorter and shorter

you can just use the same hook just make less rows

try doing like 30-35 rows so it can be smaller and chain less also that way it wont be extra long

Thank you the hat it beautiful 💙

@sonvonia Don't give up! There are MANY tutorials on here, some easy to understand, others impossible. I learned to chain and single crochet when I was 8. I saw my mom was making something so I asked if she could show me. She had a spare hook and a 3 ft. long piece of yarn. I went through the 2 things a couple of times, got bored and went outside to play. Fast forward 21 years and a coworker was making the most beautiful blanket for the baby she was expecting, I asked her where to get all my supplies because I was also expecting my first baby. When I got home that night, after supper, I took out all of my things and opened the pattern. My excitement turned to tears when I had no idea how to read the pattern. Thanks to help from several different people, I managed to finish that blanket, and it wasn't perfect, but I was proud that I didn't give up. Well, after that I had no plans to crochet again, until 2014. Twenty six years after that blanket, I learned that we were going to have a grandchild. I found everything I needed, still needed some help, but I made the same pattern for our granddaughter. Since then, I've made 4 more, along with over 200 baby beanies to donate to a children's hospital. I have a lot of yarn and no desire to stop crocheting. I am having some memory problems like my mom did when she died, but I'm not that bad yet, just slower.

sameee!!!

@@aamnaaziz2565 spoiler alert : i didnt do it cuz he doesnt wear hats 🥲

I had the same problem when I first started crocheting. I had a lot of lopsided dishcloths when I first started out, lol. So a couple of things could be happening. The most common mistake is forgetting to do the last stitch at the end of the row. This stitch usually looks different (and may be tighter than the other stitches) so it's easy to overlook. This can eventually turn your rectangle into a triangle. Another common mistake is skipping stitches in the middle of your work. This can happen when we're still trying to figure out tension and some of our stitches are tighter than others, it makes them easy to miss. Here are some tips to help prevent this: Count your stitches at the end of each row to make sure you have the correct amount. You can also use stitch markers on the last stitch at the end of your row so you don't skip it. I hope that helps!

I put a stitch counter on the 1st stitch of the row so I'd know. Otherwise, I was getting confused as well.

Hope she answers this. Cause I need the same ?

At 3:13 she says 52 rows

U could also do itto the circumference of your head

Mine gets smaller as I make rows. What am I doing wrong? Frustrated. Caroline

​@jamesgreer3953 it sounds like you might be skipping the first stitch or 2

Aww what a kind and thoughtful comment! Thank you so much, I'm glad it helped you :) It took me a long time to learn how to crochet and once it clicked, it became so much fun! It makes me so happy when someone else learns the craft and can also experience that enjoyment. Happy Crocheting!

How many? Didn't see or hear that ???

My question also

Your comment made me so happy! I’m so glad you liked it! Thank you so much :)

It was at the end!

Be sure to count your stitches in each row. You may be missing stitches if each row is getting smaller.

I, personally, don’t think it matters when making hats. This is probably not a popular opinion though and I know that many people would disagree, and that’s fine. I don’t concern myself with under or over unless I’m making Amigurumi dolls. However, having said that, technically….yes, the stitches do look differently depending on how you crochet (over vs under). But, I find this only really matters with smaller items, and when using a solid color yarn. Again, others will probably disagree with me on this. But, I’m kind of a crochet rebel anyway. You’ll notice I don’t even hold my hands “correctly” either. My index finger is never extended (gasp!) lol.

Your beginning chain and your last row get stitched together ^_^ hope this helps!

Skip 2 stitches. Not get 2 stitches.

I’d like to know as well. It looks like she makes HDC but she states DC. I’m going with HDC’s .

So how many should I used? 25? Pls tell

She used yarn under (creates a tighter stitch) so that or your yarn size could be it
