How to Crochet: Easy Adult Large Granny Stitch Beanie / Adult Large Grace Tinley Beanie 

Thanks so much, Sally!

Absolutely! Thank YOU for the feedback!

@@sherryfaires7931 thank you - warms my heart to hear!

Glad you got it worked out! Did you take your gauge? Gauge is essential for beanies because the fit is important. I also have 2 adult sizes - one small and one large - for different head sizes.

I am so glad you found that technique helpful! I know what you mean doing it a non-traditional way, but I just love how it keeps the seam straight. I'm not familiar with her cowl, but I will check it out.

@@carollemieux7474 that is so kind of you - thank you! Happy crocheting 😊

Thank you!

I'm so glad you like it! I don't have a pattern for that style, but my friend Rhondda of Oombawka Design Crochet has a free crochet pattern sized from baby to adult: oombawkadesigncrochet.com/make-these-warm-winter-ski-hats-for-children-and-adults/

Your other comment is on the adult small one. It says it in the thumbnail, but I've listed it as "women's". They aren't mixed up. Grace Tinley is a teal beanie, and Haylee is a gray beanie.

Nice! 🙌

A soft yarn that can withstand multiple washings is the true answer. To me, a superwash merino wool, like Malabrigo Rios or WeCrochet Swish, or a wool blend, like Lion Brand Wool Ease, is the answer, with Red Heart Super Saver coming up behind that. These are soft options (even the Super Saver which softens after washing) that I use in my projects because I know they're nice, durable. With that said, many organizations have their own yarn requests. Wool can be a irritant to some so some will say no wool, and some will say no Super Saver because it's too rough. It's best to check with the organization you would like to donate to to see if they have any guidelines. If I had to suggest alternatives, I would say a cotton blend, like Lion Brand Coboo and Berroco Modern Cotton. WeCrochet has some cotton blends as well. It's just a little tougher with cottons because some favorite the cotton characteristics a bit more and don't stretch back to shape as well. The other thing is that cotton blends like these don't stretch the same way as other fibers, and therefore, hats made with them may need to be made larger to fit correctly. Years ago, I made myself one with the Modern Cotton and it made such a nice, soft and cool hat, but I had to do it in positive ease to fit correctly, and it took guess and checking on my own head. I know that isn't a straight forward answer, but I wanted to be as real as I could with my answer. First, I would suggest checking with the organization for guidelines, then pick a soft yarn that you know to be durable and comfy.

Hello! It's not counted in the crown while increasing, but it is counted in the granny stitch pattern.

The video has already been uploaded as is, I can't slow it down/edit in any way. What part confuses you? There are written instructions in the free crochet pattern on my blog: eyeloveknots.com/2015/10/updated-granny-square-beanie-in-3-baby.html

Hey I know it's a year later but you can always slow the video down by clicking the circle bolt on the screen which is your video settings and it will give you playback speed options. 0.25 would be the slowest. Normal is whatever the individual uploaded with. 2 being the fastest. I would play around with anywhere between 0.25-0.75. I hope this helps and maybe the creator of the video could advise this as well for future reference.
