Dear Margaret, I just wanted to say you are such a good teacher, and you teach more than crochet, by example you teach kindness. God bless you and your family

@sheepishlysharing 4 года назад

Oh, Michelle, what a lovely compliment to wake up to this morning! Thank you! Seems like you're awfully good at spreading kindness yourself!

Very nice tutorial, especially for those needing help reading patterns. Yay for a crochet pattern by Margaret!!

@sheepishlysharing 4 года назад

Thank you! Pattern reading can be frustrating but it just opens a whole new world of options for us once we figure it out! I hope that didn't bother you since you're already well-versed in pattern reading!

@dianecoombes956 4 года назад

Hi Margaret, lovely tutorial. Thought you might be interested in something that happens over here (UK), some of our hospitals ask for preemie hats in white with a pompom in red, orange or green, the colour indicating the health of the baby. From red, baby needing lots of checks to green a baby nearly well enough to go home. Hope your move is going well.

@sheepishlysharing 4 года назад

I love the pom pom "signals," Diane! Brilliant! You know, there are some NIC units here in the US that won't allow poms at all. 😠 (I think I remember it has something to do with the increased fuzzy fibers that could be inhaled by those compromised little lungs.) I'm not sure why every hospital has its own unique guidelines/rules. Some won't take handmade caps at all! Some want only natural fibers, etc. Regardless... I would think color-coded poms would be so encouraging for parents of preemies to see. They provide hope for the early days and excitement when they "graduate" to a new color! (My oldest was a 36 week preemie and we only had to stay in the NICU for a week but that was the longest week of my life!)

Very helpful tutorial. Thank you! I'm an advanced crocheter, but it wasn't too long ago that I started practicing it. So, I still remember being confused about reading patterns and where exactly I should place a stitch and so on. I'll be referring your tutorial to anybody I come across, who's struggling with pattern reading. Thank you for the beautiful little hat too :) (by the way, I believe you placed a single crochet, instead of a slip stitch the second time you joined the lighter color, about min. 26:00)

@sheepishlysharing 4 года назад

Thank you for the kind words, Claudia! And as for the mistake... I very well could have as I'm certainly not perfect but that's what i love about crochet! It's such a forgiving craft! a small little mistake doesn't wreck your whole project!

That was a great video. It was wonderful to have Tucker join you. I am so happy you are at the new house and ready to get settled. I know exactly what you mean about giving a tour of the house...I moved into my house the end of June, though I show areas I am in I didn't and don't think I will give a tour. I just noticed you have merchandise. I showed a video a couple of weeks ago that I am collecting all my fellow yarn Yourtubers coffee mugs, I will be ordering yours now:) Take care and good luck with the unpacking.

Awww... thank you, Dina, and Tucker thanks you, too! Yes... It feels a little like an invasion of privacy to share my whole home!

@lindalewter7899 4 года назад

Thank you for the link. I love the way you start a chain. Very neat without the knot left by a slip knot.I will definitely incorporate that into my projects. I was hoping to see a video on how you start a hat project where the hat starts from the top with a magic ring that you mentioned in your Preemie Hat tutorial.

@sheepishlysharing 4 года назад

Oh, I'm sorry. That IS the way I start a hat and it's my version of a Magic Ring. It works the same way. (The link I gave you was for a hat tutorial.) I don't have one for the typical Magic Ring as there are tons of video tutorials already out there! (I mention it in this beginner video because there are several ways to start a hat and many patterns give it as an option soooo... beginners should be aware of it.) Here's one that explains it very well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p298HxgsO1s.html

Margaret... This my goals are to knit and crochet preemie/Angel blankets and hats, crochet new afghans for my five grandsons, and to crochet some prayer shawls and wraps .. I came here for the best tutorial on getting started with my teeny tiny hats... Thank you again.. I needed to refresh my memory, on how the increases go... Now I’m ready to go! I want to match my little hats to most of the blankets. Simeceill be knitted...with my ChaiGoo nine inch circs. , and some will be crocheted... Oh.. I have found 12 inch circulars...ChaiGoo Red Lace...that are perfect for hats for small kids...

@sheepishlysharing 4 года назад

Those sets sound so cute, Sandy! I love that idea! I have some 9" circs but not the 12 inch. Hmmm.... I may need to look into getting those. Thanks for the tip!

@dianareynolds5969 4 года назад

Thank you for the quick and easy pattern. It is interesting to see a crochet technique I have never seen before. You use your left hand to fly the yarn around the needle. I have never seen that before. I have always use the needle to go under the thread, twist and put needle through the next stitch, grab the yarn and pull it through leaving three loops on the needle. Then, grab the yarn and pull it through two loops and again through the remaining two loops. It eliminates the "fly around" action of the your left hand and speeds up the project. The left hand is only used for tension. Always interesting to see individualized techniques!

@sheepishlysharing 4 года назад

Welcome, Diana! I'm guessing you're new to my channel since you're commenting on my crochet technique. If you watch some of my other videos, you'll also hear me say (many times) that there are no rules in crochet! Not only do crochet techniques differ but so do choices in stitch methods, ways to start hat, options for minimizing seams and have you ever seen the many different ways to crochet 2TOG??!! And yet, every method ends up with a completed project in the end! I found it interesting that you referred to a "needle" in crochet when most call it a hook! I think it's far more interesting to learn WHY people have varying techniques. For example, as I read about yours, all I could think about was how the right hand bears the brunt of the repetitive movement which isn't good for those of us with joint problems. (Ouch!) And you may be interested in my friend Sister Margaret Mary's modified technique as she's visually impaired and yet produces BEAUTIFUL work! It's fascinating! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z_VkPUK-12M.html Celebrate our differences!

You are an inspiration and a great teacher! (Later today I will be dropping off my first batch of Addi hats to a local charity : ) ) Thank you for this pattern and video. I am still very new to crochet and appreciate the tips in pattern reading. Do you by any chance have a pattern or video for simple crochet baby booties? There is a pregnancy care center I would like to support but I have been unable to find a pattern I can get consistent results (as in two booties that match ; ) ) Thanks so much! Merry Christmas!

@sheepishlysharing 4 года назад

Margaret... Excellent tutorial. This pattern calls for worsted weight yarn. I generally use Lion Brand Baby Soft, for most of my preemie/angel hats and blankets. Baby Soft is a #3 weight... I am assuming that if I use a #3 yarn, I will need to do one more increase row . Do you agree?

@sheepishlysharing 4 года назад

Preemies come in all sizes but yes, if using a #3 and attempting to get the size I did, I think I would increase for 1 more row.

We collect things for her every year, Sandi, but she refines her needs as she sees what sells. I know that she doesn't take scarves as they don't sell and last year the theme was "Teddy Bears and Toys." Here's that video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wGeVyFtUYlo.html

@sheepishlysharing 4 года назад

Glad you liked it, Stefanie! Call a local hospital and ask if they accept such donations. Sometimes there are groups in place that manage all donations (preemie, cancer caps, etc) and sometimes they’ll connect you right to the NICU. If there’s not something in place already, they may welcome your donations or explain they tried it in the past but it didn’t workout for whatever reason. You can also look online for organizations to mail the hats to.

@stefaniestaniak4329 4 года назад

@sheepishlysharing День назад

I don't happen to have one of these hats handy (this video is almost 5 years old). I base all my sizing on this hat sizing chart: sheepishlysharing.com/2017/01/23/hat-sizing-chart/ simply make sure your gauge is matching the flat circle diameter. Adjust your hook size or tension accordingly.

Row five states at the end that it is 36 sts but how can it be if you skip one? Wouldn't that be 18 stitches?

@sheepishlysharing 3 года назад

Actually, I think you’re referring to row 6. And you should have completed 36 stitches when finished with it because you’re doing 18 dc and 18 chains. (You’ll hear me say, “ Double crochet, chain 1, skip a stitch.) The Chain 1 is on top of the skipped stitch below.
