I’ve always wanted to make one of these with the ear covers and braids, and this was a great tutorial! Thank you! Just finished my first (child) one! Will be making a second one for the sibling!
After finishing the beanie, based on your tutorial video, I thought my finished product will be too big for my granddaughter's head but it didn't. It was a perfect fit. Thank you. She loved it!
What size, circumference, is your granddaughter’s head? I want to make this for a child with a head circumference of 21 ( across the forehead)? Do I need to adjust anything?
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial Tiffany! I used a smaller hook and reduced the hat length by 2 rows to fit my 3 year old grandson! I am making Turkey hats with this basic earflap beanie! 💜🧶
I can’t thank you enough for being such a great instructor, I’ve never used the 2 chain method and I love it! And never in a thousand years did I think is ever be able to make a beenie with flaps on it!!! Thank you for making this so nice and easy!!
Just came here to say this is one of the easiest to follow crochet videos I've come across! Thank you for being so thorough, my son is going to love this hat! This is going to be the base of a spider-man hat I am Frankenstein-ing together. Thank you!
I love that you are going to take this beanie and personalize it to look like Spiderman. That was my goal, was to provide something basic enough that you could take it and run. Let your creative mind take over. Can't wait for you to play with this pattern. HAVE FUN!
Wow! This video is amazing! You are so clear with your instructions. I am brand new to crocheting and this video makes me feel like I could make these!
Another brilliant tutorial Tiffany, when my children were at primary school in the early 80’s they stood out with their home knitted hats mittens and scarfs... I didn’t crochet then. If I had “ they would have had waistcoats and satchels to match. I beautiful thing for a parent to hand make for a child.
Just finished one for my grandson, so easy and quick. He is 10 months old ,little bit big but he is going to wear it next year or maybe for the next two years, too. Thank you Tiffany!
OMGosh it's wonderful😍.. I'm making a unicorn hat & I didn't wanna use the hat that's with it & I found U❣.. I made it with red heart purple & I'm gonna use baby blue & red that the 5 yr old picked😮😍.. it's gonna b Sweet & I wanna thank u for the wonderful tutorial of urs.. ur awesomeness ❣❣.. but I made the hat & it was too big, so I went to a 4.5mm hook & it's much better now👍❣.. thanks again for ur time & awesomeness❤
Hi Tiffany Thank you so much for making it so easy for me to print out beanie pattern ,I was so pleased to get the pattern and being able to print it out I'm not very good with technology , so now I will be able to crochet it for my grandsons with there team logo And I must say I do enjoy your videos Thank you and take care Vivienne
I've made 5 of these hats and my cousin shared and he's in his late 75ish he wore his to bed and woke up thinking his head was on fire, lol and now he wants another one in Orange for hunting. Thank you So Much
Hi Roz! It can be hard to group everyone in a single category when people are so different. I see that you used the same wool and the same hook size. Maybe, with your next beanie, give the adult/teen size Basic Beanie a try and see if that fits better. Thank you so much for leaving a comment and sharing. 😊🧡🧶
Sure thing! For the Child Size Basic Beanie, Rnd 4: You will inc dc (or make 2 dc) in the first stitch, and then one dc in the next 2 stitches. You will repeat inc dc in the next stitch, then one dc in the next 2 stitches all the way around. I hope this helps. If you would like more help I could show you how to do this over a zoom meeting in my Crochet Club. I could show you and check in with you to make sure it makes sense. I would love for you to give it a try! CLICK HERE: members.crochetwithTiffany.com 🤗❤️🧶
Great question Donna! I don't remember BUT the pattern that I link to actually contains all sizes for this beanie from newborn to adult Large!! Check it out and let me know if you have any questions. If I don't respond back to you here in the comments try emailing me at info@crochetwithTiffany.com. Sometimes I miss comments here and I want to make sure I can help you. 😊🧡🧶
Hi Brenda! Click on the pattern! The pattern has all sizes. We just adjust the number of rows we increase and the number of rows that are just one stitch in each stitch space. 😊❤️🧶
Hi Jackie! I'm so sorry but I don't have a tutorial out yet for the Fox attachments for the beanie and wont be able to get to that soon. I hope you are able to find a video that helps you!
It's completely Free! The one pattern contains all sizes. Don't focus so much on the theme of the beanie just it's shape. I hope this helps. The pattern link can be found in the description section below the video. 😊❤️🧶
I ALSO DID BOOTIES BUT ONE TURNED OUT GREAT AND THE OTHER WAY TOO WIDE AND TOO SHORT. I'VE RIPPED OUT AND DID OVER 4 TIMES, I GIVE UP. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Hmm, this happens to me too sometimes. One will look great, the other completely different. The only thing I can think of is practice. If you make many of them, 2 are bound to look similar enough. 😊❤️🧶
Great question. The pattern actually has directions for ALL sizes!! The link to the pattern can be found in the description section below the video. 😊🧶❤️
Hi, can you please tell me where exactly I need to slip stitch to join after doing a round? The chains don’t count as a double so do I skip that whole things and slip stitch into the first double crochet I made?
@@CrochetWithTiffany thank you! The hat turned out beautifully and I love the added ear flaps and doodads on the sides. Thank you for helping me and for making an awesome tutorial! 😊
I TRIED ANOTHER BEANIE FOR A BABY 0-3 MONTHS. I SURE DON'T KNOW WHAT I DO WRONG BUT I CAN COUNT TIL I'M BLUE AND IT COMES OUT TOO SMALL-ELF SIZE LOL BUT IT'S FRUSTRATING. I'M GOING TO TRY THIS ONE FOR MY 11 Y/O GRANDDAUGHTER AND I WANT TO MAKE THE SAME FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER DUE SOON, SIZE 0-3 MONTHS. I'M GOING TO ADD BRAIDS AND DINO SPIKES. DO YOU HAVE THE EXACT SAME ONE IN 0-3? ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT I'M DOING WRONG? I DO CROCHET TIGHT SOMETIMES AND WORKING ON LOOSENING UP STITCHES BUT COUNTING?
Hmm, I’d double check the size of the yarn and crochet hook you are using. That is a pretty significant shrink. The pattern I have linked to the video tutorial actually breaks down EVERY size beanie from 0-3 month through Adult. It’s a free pattern too! I highly recommend you print that out and use it as a reference along with my video to get the size you want. I hope all this helps and that you are able to make baby their beanie. 😊❤️🧶
Wow I totally messed up :( I misread the crochet hook size and I used a 6.5 hook and 5 oz. yard. The stitches are way to far apart and holy. This was going to be for my 6 year old grandson. Obviously I'm a new crocheter. Do you think I can retry with the same 5 oz yard and use a 4.5 or 5 size hook? I love the pattern.
Hi Joni Ok, if you are going to use a different yarn and a different crochet hook then I used in the tutorial you will want to use this beanie sizing chart as a guide and a measuring tape. pin.it/2azc1IF. You will work the top increasing rows until you have reached the desired hat width. Then work as many rows as it takes to get the desired length. Work the ear flaps very similarly as well. I hope this helps. 😊🧡🧶
Hi Hana! I would probably make the Toddler size beanie for a 12/14 month old. Here is the link to that tutorial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SK51UzHGda8.html. 😊❤️🧶
I followed this tutorial, but I used a 4.5 /G hook and I only did 13 rounds. It fit my 2 year old great grandson perfectly. When I used the H hook it was big on my 4 year old it was a little big, but he loved it anyway.
Hi Emily and Elliott! You absolutely could make this beanie with a size 5 yarn but you would need to adjust the pattern to accommodate for the larger size yarn. I’m not certain but you could probably get away with using my Toddler size beanie tutorial with the size 5 yarn and it should fit a Child size head. If anything check out the beanie sizing chart I have in my Pinterest board under Charts and use a measuring tape to make sure you make dimension requirements for the beanie. That helps me a lot. 😊❤️🧶
What’s the head sizes for toddler and child? I have a 3 1/2 yo grandson I want to make one for but want to make sure it’s not too small. His head circumference is 19.5”
Hi Tina! I just measured out the two size beanies. The Toddler beanie measures a 20 inch circumference and the Child size beanie measures a 21 inch circumference. And that is not accounting for the amount of give that the beanies have also. So it's completely up to you. I might just go ahead and make the Toddler Size Beanie for him and that should last him about 2 years. Hope this helps! 😊🧶🧡
What I notice is the only thing different for each size is the row count. Circumference is the same for all sizes which doesn’t make sense since all heads aren’t the same size
Hi Sharon! If you are looking to make a beanie for a 12-18 month old I would go with my Toddler size video tutorial. Here is a link for you; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SK51UzHGda8.html 😊❤️🧶
Hi Ruth! Yes I do! It's the How To Crochet A Beanie For Absolute Beginners: Toddler Size: Basic Beanie. Here is the link for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SK51UzHGda8.html 😊🧡🧶
That is a great question Tina. It’s all about the increase rows at the beginning. You increase stitches per row until you get the crown size to be dimensional to the age of the individual (which is found from a chart showing average size dimension of head per age range). Once you have met the correct size for crown dimension or crown diameter you just work on the sides of the beanie to form down the head. Lengths of the beanie will differ based on how a person likes to wear the beanie. I hope this helps Tina! 😊🧶❤️
This beanie does run a little big. It's meant to have a comfortable fit not be a tight fitting skull cap. There are also variables such as the thickness of the yarn you are using and the tension of your stitches that could come into play. If you would like, you can always make the next size down to see if that beanie fits the way you like. 😊❤️🧶
I saw a chart that said a child's circle should be around 6 inches that was like 3 increase rows ago I am concerned this will be huge on my grandson. I live 8 1/2 hours from him so can't try it on him. Did anyone try it on a size 4 little one?
Hi Tracey! If you are making this beanie for a 4 yr old then they will be right between sizes. The youngest age for the child size beanie. The child size beanie will provide growing room. But you might feel more comfortable making the Toddler size beanie. The tutorial is coming soon for a toddler size 😊.
Hi Leslie! Hmm, you could make this hat using a larger yarn but you will have to make some adjustments. Here is a beanie chart that I recommend you use to help guide you: pin.it/3iuINyY . And a measuring tape so you know when to stop increasing your rows and how long to make the sides. 😊🧡🧶
Great question! This size is for child age 4 - 11 years old. The younger the child the looser the beanie, the older the child the more snug the beanie will be. The acrylic yarn used had an amazing comfortable stretch that makes it great for a child who may have a larger or small size head and potential for growing room. 🤗🧡🧶
If I wanted to make this for 2 and 3 year olds what size hook do you recycle? And could I just follow pattern as is with smaller hook or would I need to adjust?
You seem to have rounding of the cap in the 3rd round itself. I did exactly what you do but do not get rounding in 3rd round. Also the cap is too big ....when I make it.
Hi Nisha! It’s absolutely ok if your circle does not round in row 3. That could be different for everybody. Great to acknowledge! These beanies do run pretty roomy. If you would like to make your beanie a little smaller or tighter you can always omit the last row of increases. Or make the next size down. 😉❤️🧶
Hi Liz! I plan on doing a video soon on how to price your crochet items. Not sure if you saw my tutorial on Crochet to sell Fall/Winter 2020. I have some great tips in there about beanies. 😉🧡🧶 It's hard for me to give you a specific number when it's not that easy.
Hi Vivienne! That is a great question. Normally you would just click on the link below this video and it would take you to the pattern where there is either a PRINT button or you would just go to FILE then push PRINT to print off the whole page. But in this case the page it brought you too was really long and did not have that PRINT button so I found a better link and updated it in the description sections. If you're not sure how to get to the description section under the video let me know so I can help you out with that. To make things easier I will attach a direct link to the pattern and there IS a PRINT button for you to push to print out the pattern I need for you to print out. Thank you for asking. 😊🧶🧡www.repeatcrafterme.com/2013/09/crocheted-sports-team-beanies.html
Hmmm, Not quite sure. The 2 extra stitches won't hurt anything if you would like to keep moving forward and maybe make 2 extra decreases in the next round to get back on count. Otherwise, maybe try looking back and checking your stitch counts. 🤷🏼♀️❤️🧶
Hi Elke. I'm so sorry you find this video to be too fast. It can be difficult accommodating for everyone's speed. But did you know that you can actually control the speed of the video? You can actually make this video go so slow it will look like a snail crawling. I have seen people comment on other channels saying they use this tool and it helps them. I hope it will help you too. When you are watching the video, on the bottom right side of the video if you move your mouse over the video a little gear will show up. Push on the gear, click on Playback Speed, and the smaller the number the slower the video will go. IF you are watching from your phone or tablet you will click on the 3 little dots in the upper right hand corner, click on Playback speed, and again the smaller the number the slower the video. I really hope this helps and that you can have greater success with both my videos and other videos here on RU-vid. 😊🧡🧶
Hmmm, I've had this happen before myself. Without undoing your work, go back through your rounds and count how many stitches are in each of them. Start with the very first top beginning rounds so you can spot where the count got off and know how far back you have to go. I've actually made the mistake of starting the very first round with an extra stitch and had to go all the way to the beginning to correct it. It happens, at least it's not a super big project. I've found what works best for me to stay on track is to count the number of stitches I have in like round 3 or 4, and then count how many stitches I have in every 3rd round just to double check that I am on track. This helps squash anything that might be a miss before it gets super far in the project. I hope this helps! You got this!!
