I’m a beginner crocheter and I’ve wanted to make some cute stuff to make for gifts, and this is the best tutorial for beginners I’ve found so far! Such a cute beanie and simple to make.
My wife, who is a beginner in crochet, just finished this beanie. It turned out great. She had problems with the tightness of the five slip stitches at the start. She said she just kept them as loose as possible and if they were too tight, she used a hairpin to lift it and insert the hook. The top is not bulky and looks good. We're both proud of her accomplishment. Thank you Viv!
I have now made four beanies using this tutorial and pattern and just have to say this is hands down my favorite thing lately. I’m still fairly new to crocheting but the fact that I can make this design in two days or less makes me feel so accomplished and satisfied in my work and progress! Thank you for making this, you’ve helped me and so many others! 🫶🏻
For anyone struggling with the slip stitches, don't make the loops too tight. Keep it a bit looser than your half double crochets so that the hook can slip under smoothly when you're doing the next row.
I love this pattern! I used this video to essentially teach myself to crochet and ive made four beanies that im super happy with. What i learned that id pass on for others is that if your slip stitches are super tight you need to make them COMICALLY looser. Like ridiculously loose it feels silly. THEY WILL TIGHTEN UP!! bc omg i was fighting for my life for a while there . Im currently working on your lemon peel cardigan pattern and having a blast !! So excited for the results
cannot recommend this pattern enough!! I was so so so happy with the beanie and not having to count stitches too often is great for some mindless crochet! so so fun!!
Just tried this one and currently wearing my brand new beanie! This pattern is thick and soft and squidgy in all the best ways and is fast and fun to make.
I have to admit this. I've been through numerous tutorials, but yours hands down is just the best tutorial out there for beginners and even for crocheters... Your explanation is quite helpful and we can learn things so easily, thank you so much, I genuinely appreciate you a lot as my crochet teacher.
Im a beginner crocheter and i followed this video and finsihed my beanie within a day. Im so filled with joy and thank you so much for a detailed and simple video🥹
My tension is all over the place but i did it and I couldnt be happier with this hat! Your instructions are concise and clear and i speak english only. Thank you so much! ❤
This was my first ever crochet project and it worked!! I'm in shock. This tutorial was so clear, chill and helpful it took me from 100% noob to someone who now feels like they can 'do crochet'. Thank you so much!
I've been crocheting for a while but for some reason I've always struggle to make a beanie. thanks to this tutorial, I was able to finally create one :)
I've never done crochet and I made this for my bf in just a few days and it turned out amazing! Your tutorial is so clear and I felt confident in completing the project! Thank you so much!!!
Just came over from IG, thanks for this tutorial! I’ve made two beanies in the past with that weird bunching, looking forward to doing it this way from now on! Thank you!
The 5 slip stitches get so tight for me that it becomes hard to see and I can’t put my hook in without pulling it open with my fingers. I literally dread when it comes to the slip stitches cause the rest of it is so much easier. I tried to loosen my tension, but it’s still not enough. Any advice?
I am a beginner and this was so easy way better than a lot of other tutorials and I did make a couple mistakes but it was easy Smee easy to cover them up and keep going, so thank you you rock and I’m gonna keep following your tutorials
Used this tutorial to make my very first crochet project! I only learnt to crochet a few days ago and this video was so easy to follow! My beanie looks amazing im so happy ty!
Learning to crotchet is the best thing I ever did, I was about your age when I started and I'm 20 now You will get better with each project and work up faster and faster :) There is a very simple backless dress pattern by Bjax on RU-vid and it takes about 750 yards for a size large. I believe the only stitches required are a triple crotchet and a half double crotchet. I know you could do it!
Thank you so much for this. I tired to make the beanie from that tutorial with over 1 million views and it turned out horribly. I was supposed to give it to my co-worker, but it looks terrible, so I had to find a better tutorial. I’m so glad I found yours!!!
Than you so much for making this video so easy and understanding, i just finished the beanie and it turned out perfect because it was so clear on what to do. ( this was my first every project). Thank youu 😊❤
I love this tutorial! Finished my 3rd beanie using this. I did two beanies using 2 colours and the 3rd one using four colours. If anyone else wants to try the color switch has to be on the slip stitch end fyi for it to look seamless.
I have crocheted for years. I'm not great but it's relaxing and I enjoy it. I just watched your video and l learned new things. Thank you so much for taking the time to do it!
@@lillymcculloh4948 No, the chain is the length from your eyebrows to the crown of your head plus however much you want to fold over for the brim. So mine was 60 chains and that gave me an inch or so brim. You keep going around until it fits around your head because you’re making it up and down.
This tutorial was a breeze to follow so thanks!! I started the beanie and I have 18 rows at the moment so there's a lot more to go but it has been really fun making it. This will be my first actual crochet project and I am so excited to finish :D
Thank you so so much for explaining everything so well. I am a total beginner and have only ever done single crochet stitches before this and was super scared to try anything else, but this tutorial was honestly so helpful and got me out of my comfort zone. And now I have awesome Christmas gifts! Thanks again!
this was my first crochet project and it was a great tutorial! tip for other people: make sure when you do a slip stitch on the brim that you dont make it too tight because mine ended up being the correct length but too tight since the yarn isnt stretchy in that direction
Thank you so much for this. It's the perfevt tutorial for beginners like I am. I crocheted two beanies with your help and gifted them to my grandparents. Needless to say, they loved them. Thanks a ton ❤
This is such a beginner friendly video! I‘ve crocheted a few pieces already but this is the first time I actually got to see how to slip stitch! 😍 The beanie turned out really nice too, thank you so much!
I knit a lot mainly arans and icelandic sweaters and cardigans. I would love to be able to crochet but i have a hard time with it. Now that I have seen this tutorial I am going to follow the instructions and hopefully I will have success. I am so happy to have found this channel.
I messed up my first attempt, but I did not make it wide enough, I did not make it long enough, and I used a black yarn for my first attempt. I definitely learned from my first failed attempt so I am going to make sure to follow the directions exactly this time around! This tutorial is super simple and helpful thank you, attempt 2 will be successful!!!
Love the new hat I just made. The five slip stitches were a pain but I kept going. For the rim, instead of doing slip stitches, I did single crochet, which made it a lot looser so it still could fit my head.
Such a great and detailed tutorial! However, I did the slip stitch rim, exactly like you did with 3 stitches per 2 rows, and it made the rim so small, I couldn't even fit it on my head. I freaked out a little bit but ended up cutting and undoing the slip stitches. Fit absolutely perfect afterward! I've made a beanie with a bunched top, and I much prefer this pattern. Thank you!!
Wish I had seen this earlier, I would have used this technique on my x-mad beanies. From now on this is my new favorite way!! Thank you so much for the tutorial ❤
I’ve just finished this project and I have to say it turned out amazing !! I’ve only had a hard time lining up my stitches before closing my beanie but you can’t even see it 🤫 well thanks a lot for this pattern !!
My dad has a large head, I think (64cm / a lil over 25in around), plus he _haaates_ tight hats. So I made this beanie extra long and extra large for him to be happy. 😄 It turned out great.
Omg I'm a first timer, and the only other things ive crocheted successfully are a headphone sprout, a moon and a star, and omg im able to follow through with this tutorial and ive made 4 rows of it so far, im planning to make one for my bf, he loves beanies. Thank you so much!
Wow, I have been searching RU-vid for days to find a stretchy beanie without the bunches. This is the only one I found. It loks great and your video is very well done! Thank you!!
I have only been crocheting for a few months but this tutorial was so great! Very detailed and it helped me make a beanie in multiple colors! Thank you! :)
Loved this pattern. I’m an advanced crocheted but I stay away from clothes because I never can get sizing but this hat fit me perfectly. Thank you so much. I will definitely be making more of these.😁
Contente de vous avoir trouvé car je cherchais depuis un moment cette façon de faire un bonnet. Je suis débutante et je parle un peu l’anglais mais vous expliquez lentement et je peux comprendre. Merci beaucoup 😊
I'm a beginner crocheter and i just completed this!!! I used a bigger hook size (5.50mm instead of 5.0mm) so it ended up plushier but overall perfectly fine! Thanks for the easy tutorial.
