Part 2 - The Alpine Stitch - Crochet Tutorial! 

Thank you for going stitch by stitch As a confident crocheter this pattern was a bit of a skill exercise. Thank you for all you do. By the way. I crochet hats to give to anyone I meet who wants one. I love doing different patterns. Everyone deserves to sport a stylish hat

😅this has been a challenge! I frogged it so many times!!!😢 It's such a beautiful stitch that I couldn't resist, so I persisted and I've just finished my first hat...yes, I'm doing it again🤞🤪🙏 Thank you for being so thorough bc I never would've finished had I not followed along and stitched along with you💞YOU ROCK🤘

I won't lie, I'm an experienced crocheter (~20 years give or take) and usually don't have problems with a pattern, but row 10 kicked my butt!!! I had to watch for half the row before my brain could fully pick it up. This is such a beautiful pattern and really makes you have to think and pay attention which I loved! I did change the brim though with a different ribbing but the pattern is still amazing! 😊 All that said, don't let others give you flack about long/ in-depth videos that go stitch by stitch. There is a fast forward feature for a reason, and having the step by step helps a lot of people regardless of their experience level! Amazing video, even if I'm late to the party ❤️

Finally finished! I thought I'd pass on the little "extra" that I did for this hat as it was a special request along with the reason why I do this. I place a little crocheted 3x4.5 patch-pocket on the inside of the hat where the ears would be. I leave the top open so a small handwarmer can be inserted inside. I did this to one of your other hats I made for one of my son's friends. He had wrecked his motorcycle in 2020and in the process one of his ears got mostly detached from his skull. It was reattached but became easily cold. Because he had a year-round outside job he asked if I could do this for that hat. Apparently it worked so well that when he was in Oklahoma at his mom's that winter she kept trying to snitch the hat from him to protect her own ears from the cold. She gets a lot of earaches because of the weather down there. This hat will be mailed to her. I will be making him a new hat because the one he has now is VERY well worn out. 😊😊

I love this hat so much. You have the loveliest voice and should definitely do audiobooks. Your humour makes me chuckle too. Thank you 😊

I finished this beanie a few hours ago and it is amazing I'm wearing it right now. Thank you for a great two part series I've followed along with you through many other of your tutorials. I enjoy how you go so in depth it's like I'm crocheting with a friend.. Thank you for everything you do for us❤❤❤

I know I am a year late but, I just found this pattern and I LOVE it!

My wife has just finished making this after waiting for part 2 before she started dinner! lol Great pattern, as usual.

It’s very pattern,but I make it.Thank you for teaching us such a challenge pattern.

I really like your tutorial. It is so clear. Thank you so much 🥰💟. I wish you would give me more tutorials.

Thank you so much for this video. I had a pattern and was really struggling. Your videos are so easy to follow.

I have been crocheting for several years now, about 7 I think. This still was a challenge for me and I a few learning mistakes along the way. I don't let them upset me or get me down. I feel that I am learning a new pattern and mistakes are bound to happen. But I really enjoyed making this has and in the end it came out well done thanks to you and how well you showed how to make it.

Hi Spider 🕷 Thank you for this great hat tutorial. I really enjoy the colors. I really really like the pattern. The brim is stunning. You are the greatest teacher. You have Patience and you're so thorough. I learned so much from you. I watch all your tutorials. I've made a lot of your items. I'll be making a lot of hats with this stitch. Thank you so much. Stay safe and caffeinated🕷🕷🕷

Thank you fiber spider , i had a hard time with row back tracked a few times and found my mistake . Beautiful hat.

As a beginner, I initially watched a variety of videos, but now go straight to your channel. By far the clearest instructions, and clearest video so I can be confident when following along. I completed my first beanie, the Divine pattern, and was so pleased with how it turned out. Now working on the Alpine & it’s looking gorgeous. Can’t thank you enough for making this wonderful new hobby possible.

This is the first of your patterns that almost kicked my butt. Almost!!!

I like to watch the tutorial beginning to end and then go back so I am somewhat familiar with the pattern . I think I can ,I think I can...with your clear instructions... I will! Thanks again!

thanks for going stitch by stitch I am a beginner and I started watching you and I knew a few stitches but you have made it a lot easier for me to pick up these hat stitches and so I really want to thank you and keep up the tutorials.

I really really love this hat Craig! Thank you so much for another amazing thorough tutorial! I appreciate you taking the time to help us follow through with it entirely! Thanks 🙏🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙💙💙💙💙😘😘😘😘😘

Thank you for going stitch by stitch! I dont know why I got so confused by this increase pattern but I did. You are a great educator! Ive finished several of your projects and love your tutorials!

I've no idea if you will see this since it has been a year since you posted this pattern but I want to give thanks for a very nice pattern and such easy to follow instructions. I enjoyed your manner of explaining and I really like the finished product. I made feminine beanies for my granddaughters but needed something for my grandson. I think this is great for him but also think with other colors I can make them for anyone to fit their mood. As a matter of fact I really like the colors you used on the V-Stitch hat in pinks and brown. I thank you so very much for your time!

Love this, and love following your tutorials ❤

I’ve made all of your hats except the crocodile one lol. I love them and your tutorials. This one was the most difficult for me but mainly because I used a multi colored yarn and my eyes don’t see some things that well anymore. I have been crocheting since I was 16 and will be 74 tomorrow and I am self taught. Thank you for keeping me busy while down with a foot injury and a virus lol

I love how you give such detailed instructions. Thank you😊

Your work and teaching is fabulous, very easy to follow❤

Thank you for this! I had to reduce it a lot, as I was making this for my toddler granddaughter. I added a faux fur pom pom to the top & a flower on the side. Everyone loves it!

This was serendipity......I bought a skein of the red heart super saver ombre in the color baja blue with the intention to make a hat when I found this pattern. So far, I've made 2 😊😊

I opted for a different finish in place of the brim. I worked the alpine stitch rows until the length covered my ears and finished off with two rounds of single crochet. That worked quite well. I guess it's an option for those who don't want to do the alternating front-post and back-post double crochet stitches for the brim (though I have used that for the brim for other beanies I have made).

This pattern, and your way of teaching, is FABULOUS! Of course, it took me quite a few starts to finally get it, but my hat is perfect! Now, how can I adjust for different sizes?

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. This was tricky, so I appreciate your going stitch by stitch on the beginning rounds. You also go at a speed where I can work right along with you. My sister loved the Tessalated Tree blanket. You rock!

Thank you thank you thank you Your instructions were brilliant I love when you explain the same things in different ways I usually will get something that makes me understand What we are doing This time there were several Looking at the back of your work was it for me along with knowing how many stitches were in the grouping This could be love thanks again

Just loved making this hat with you. Never thought I would be able to make it. Many thanks for your tutorials.

You're getting me sooooo hooked!

The beanie turned out fabulous. Thank you again for your patience and step-by-step instructions at the beginning and throughout. A very "classy" looking beanie. ❤️🥰👍 Now I'm looking for more of your beanies to crochet. ❤️

I also l💜ve your hats! Making me one to. Love all your crochet!!!

Very beautiful patten! I absolutely love your hats! So talented!

Another beauty! Thank you Fiber Spider!!!

Wow...how good this is. Super happy with how my hat turned out. Even happier that I gave it another go after my initial failure in part one. I shall be making quite a few of these I'm sure...and will hopefully learn the pattern off by heart in the process.

Hello Fiberbspider, I hope all is well with you, I know I’m watching this tutorial late. Due to work life I don’t get the chance to watch on time but I make sure to watch later. This is a very beautiful, textured stitch, I’m going try it for a baby blanket. Love the way you do your tutorials, u always make sure you we master it. Love your kitchen videos. Thank u for everything. 😘😘 from Canada 🇨🇦

Ok ready for part 2, really appreciate your repeat, caution, count and stitch along🎉😂❤ working the last row, playing yarn chicken 😂😂..Thanks Spider-Man ❤❤❤❤

I just love you! I would have not been able to make this hat (increase part is a bit confusing - but i found a system, when i got to the repeat 5 pattern - i started using stitch markers, and of course counting the number of FP and DC - to be matching). You are adorable, patient, pleasant, thorough... thank you so much for being you. 🥰💜❣

Great instructor. Thank you, my hat turned out beautifully.

Btw I love top down hats Thanks again

Very through nice work beautiful stitch.🕷

Beautiful hat. Thank you for another wonderful tutorial.

Really nice how you turned this wonderful stitch into a hat. Well done!! 👍💕

Just a note: I needed to tell you how much I love the Letto hook I purchased! I bought it with your recommendation . Thank you so much 💕

Thank you for the hat video loved it made it you make it so easy to follow your instructions 👍👍👍

I love this stitch! Thank you for such a great pattern. I made the hat in the Red Heart ombre anthracite. Just gorgeous and so nice and warm!

I made this for my daughter and it came out great. When I made one for myself I wanted it to be really warm for a trip to Alaska. I increase yarn weight to a 5 and kept the same hook size. It is too large. I thought of taking out the last row of increase but didn’t know if it would work. It will be the legenth I want when the ribbing is added. The measurements now with out ribbing is 7 inches with circumference 26 inches. Head is 21 1/2. Thanks in advance for your help. Love the details you give in your videos 0:26

Finished my 1st one. Love it! Thank you!

Creating a hat with this stitch has been on my list of things to do. Thanks! You did a wonderful job so I'll cross that chore of my list. ;-P

This is my first time watching your channel I really liked this tutorial I usually knit I’ve picked up crochet and I shuttle tat but I really liked this pattern and thank you for making this video I really really enjoyed it now I gotta find some yarn to make me a hat lol oh well thank you again for the video.

Thank you so much!

I finally finished, it looks really nice, but I am thinking I should try again because I made the stitches loose on the top but switched to a smaller hook midway through so as to tighten up the stitch a tad, then switched again at the bottom section. It fits perfect. usually, I have to do a row or 2 of chains and decreases in the chains to get it the tightness I want, which is a bit overly tight, but this seems just right. My start I think was a little too loose, I started with a 5mm and went down to a 3mm. The yarn I used seems to work better for the waffle hat. I won't do this with a tweed yarn again I think a plain yarn or a heathered yarn may look nice as your shaded yarn looks. I found with most hats I have to start with a smaller hook, but if I had made it with a larger hook and crocheted the top loose it would have turned out too big. As it is my hat shape is wider than yours, I think because of the overwide start, I will use the same hooks but crochet the top tighter than I did. I posted the Celtic Weave on my FB page and people loved the pattern. I made the Celtic with Lion Brand antipilling yarn in the golden heather. I made a waffle in the same yarn and my husband ran off with it :) The Alpine I made with Big Twist Tweed in green, but the Lion Brand has better definition. I'll try that and the Celtic hat again though, in green, it's strange how different the yarns look in the same patterns. So I am wondering how the green will do in the Celtic pattern. Thank you for the tutorials, I think when I try them one more time it will come easier.

Mine turned out HUGE. I need to find a giant to gift it to haha. It is lovely though.

Loooove this beanie!!!!

Can't wait to try this one.

If you still monitor this thread 😊 I’d like to know if you have measurements for the increase rounds before you start crocheting even . I’m doing the small adult . I’m sorry if this question has been asked before but I can’t find it in the comments . Thank you so very much ❤

Beautiful..

Beautiful

Thanks!

I always love your videos I would love to make a scarf to the hat what stiches would you use thank you🌹

Love this beanie and making a few to give away. To make it smaller, how many DC in the beginning chain? I found this size way to big for me, but it's a good size for a man. Would 8-10 DCS work ok? Thank you. Watching from Tasmania.

Question please: what is the diameter of the piece after row 11? Thank you!

bello ciao

With this hat , I don’t see any decreases before the brim ? Is that right??? Thanks !

Please advise me if my yarn is 4mm or 3mm how many stitches should I start with?

Thumbs up!

I'm wondering if you ever did mile a minute?

Round 10 is sooo confusing. I'm not sure when I'm supposed to be skipping a single crochet. Sometimes you aren't clear about whether the 'next one' is actually the next one or if you've skipped one because to me it looks like sometimes the next one is actually skipping one. And this is the only round I can't follow along with 😢😢😢 it's stressed me out I might just frog it all 😢

Is there a written pattern for this? It would be helpful when working and no video access is available.

PLEASE how Can i make it bigger without changing the hook size ?? How to keep increasing ??

❤

What am I doing wrong, I've done row 5 times and always end up with 74 stitches.

👍

How do we do other sizes youth this one good but too large

❤💐❤💐❤💐❤💐

🙏❣🙃

I'm not very good this. Mine was a hat shape by the time I'd finished the increases

❤️🥰👍

To hard to follow stitches being worked.

Thanks!
