Thank you so much!!! I think a fish hat would work really well with this pattern!!! 😍

It really depends on the head measurements - in general, you want the band portion to be about 1/2 inch smaller than the actual head measurement. But an easy way to make this in a larger size would be to just add 4 extra rows of single crochet rib on the band portion, which should add about an inch! That's basically a size up. :) Hope that helps!

@@craftykittycrochet4270thank you.

Hi, thanks for reaching out! I would recommend going with the amount of rows that gives you the right measurement with the yarn you're using, regardless of how many rows are stated in the pattern. Since you're using a slightly different yarn, it could affect the size compared to the yarn I used/how many rows I did. Hope that helps!

As there is no measurement stated could you please give me the measurement from the start of the pattern to your row 27. Thank you so much for responding it’s a cute pattern that my daughter is going to love 😀

@@LeilaStJ Oh sorry, I thought you were referring to the cuff when you were asking about measurements! Since the hat including the fin measures about 11 inches in length total, you'd probably want to make sure that your hat up to Rnd 27 measures about 9.5 inches or so. The fin doesn't add too much length! If it's not exactly 9.5 inches at that point, it should still be fine - as long as it's not too drastic, adding or reducing the length of the hat a bit only makes it slightly more/less slouchy. It's the width you really want to be exact since that determines how the hat will fit on the head! Oh that's awesome, so glad you're enjoying it and hope your daughter loves it!!! 😍

@@craftykittycrochet4270 Thank you for responding but as there are no measurements given could you please measure from the start of the pattern to row 27 which will give me a better indication of whether I have reached the right length or not. Thank you.

@@LeilaStJ Sure, the length from the start of the pattern to Row 27 should be about 9 - 10 inches ☺ Although it's ok if it's a little off as this will only make the hat more/less slouchy. Hope that helps!

Hi Lorraine, sorry to hear the music is distracting for you. It was a big trend to have music overlaying the video at the time I recorded this, and I haven't had a chance to release a new version. If you'd still like to try the pattern, you should be able to mute the audio and turn on captions/subtitles to follow along. Hope that helps 🙂

Thank you so much!!!! 😍😍😍

Hi, thanks for asking! The pattern in this video is for teens/adults, but I do have a version that's just for kids sizing, too. The stitches are all the same, just the stitch counts are different, so you could still use this video for reference. Here's the link! www.craftykittycrochet.com/2018/11/23/mermaid-slouchy-hat-crochet-pattern-kids-edition/

Hi, thank you so much! That's a great question - the easiest way to do it is probably to make a separate square backing for each square using regular single or double crochet. You could also do a fabric backing too. I'm still working on a way to crochet in between the petals without changing the look of the square! Hope that helps! :)

@@craftykittycrochet4270 you were lightning quick with your reply! 😀 Thank you very much 💕

@@nellynkaqt9467 Aww thanks hehe! I'm glad I could help!!! ^_^

Thank you so much!!!! ^_^

Thank you so much!! Glad to hear it ^_^

Muchas gracias!!!! ^_^

Yes!! I always pull my new color through the last part of a stitch. So when you're down to 2 loops on the hook during a single crochet - that's when I'd pull the new color through. If you're changing colors on the "scales" part of this pattern if might be easier to do it on a single crochet than on one of the scales. Hope that all makes sense! Let me know if you have any other questions!! ^_^

Hi, thanks for reaching out! My first thought would be to check that the number of stitches on the previous round is correct...if you come up short on the number of stitches on that round, it could be why there isn't enough space for all 12 petals on the next round! Let me know :)

Great job measuring before you went on to the body of the hat! Yes, if it's more than 21 inches when thoroughly stretched, I'd say take out enough rows to get it to 21 inches. Thanks for reaching out! ~ Melissa

I now have seven rows of croc stitches completed but I’m really confused about when to go on to row 7. Can you help please?

@@mulefa480 So if you have 7 rounds of croc stitches completed, it sounds like you might already be well into the repeat that makes up Rnds 7 - 26! Rnds 2 - 5 make 2 croc rounds and Rnd 6 lays the foundation for another round of them. If you already have 7 croc rnds, I estimate you're actually on probably Rnd 15, which means you just need to keep repeating what you've been doing until you have 12 croc rounds. Does that make sense? Let me know! Thanks!

@@craftykittycrochet4270 I’m still confused because round 7 looks like a reduction round. Does it even matter? If I have enough height in the hat can I go on to round 7 the reduction round? Can I add more height? Does it need to be exact? As long as I finish with a row of croc stitches?

@@mulefa480 So when I look for Rnd 7 in the video, at 16:40 it's "repeat Rnds 3 - 6 five more times" - so that would be all your croc rounds, and the decrease round happens at Rnd 28. But like you said, it actually doesn't have to be exact to that, you can make as many croc rnds as you're happy with, make one of the dc rounds on top of your last croc rnd, and then start decreasing!

I haven't found a way to do it directly on the square, but I have attached another plain crochet square to the back and it gives a nice effect! You could also do that with fabric. If you use a smaller hook, it will affect the size of the square but you might also notice that the gap becomes smaller. Hope that helps!

That's awesome, I'm so glad to hear it! The Christmas one sounds adorable! I love these beanies in purple too, it feels so mermaid-ish ^_^ Thanks so much!!

Oh, I'm so happy to hear that!!! Thank you for sharing with me, it made my day! So glad it's working out just right for your bag. Happy Crocheting!!!!!!!

Thanks so much!!

You are so welcome and thank you! So happy you like it!

Why thank you, Maria! I am so happy to hear that!!! Thank YOU for using my pattern and watching my video :) I hope you love making your sunflowers!!! ~ Melissa

Oh good tip!!! Thanks!!

Each square is about 10 inches square, or closer to 9 inches square when assembled into the blanket! Hope that helps :) The link to the full pattern is in the description!!!

What size of Hook do you used I want to make circular vest and I want to put the 🌻 on back

Thank you so much to reply to my

@@carmenalvarez5838 You're so welcome!!

@@carmenalvarez5838 That's a great idea, this would look awesome on a vest! I used an H hook. If you're putting it on a circular vest, you probably wouldn't need any of the "square" edging of the later rounds, too!

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much Mary!!!!!!!!!! I'm happy you like it!

Hi Susanne! Sorry to hear that the music is not for you. You might enjoy the video more if the sound was muted, perhaps! There's also a link to the written pattern (free on my blog) if you're interested in making this but do not prefer the video. Thank you! ~ Melissa

I appreciate that. I will give it a try. I am very much a mechanical learner and learn by watching. Maybe I can mute, read the pattern and watch and still learn. Thank you for your kindness.

@@susannedelisle944 Glad to hear it! I totally understand, visual learning is a big part of crochet in general, too. I hope maybe muting the video and following along in the pattern work out for you! This was one of my first videos and in the future I don't plan on using music (or at least lowering the volume) for a better experience!!! You are so welcome and thanks for your understanding! ~ Melissa

You are so welcome and thank YOU!

My apologies if the music is bothersome; this was my first crochet pattern tutorial video. Unfortunately, I'd have to re-upload it completely to edit the music out. Thanks for your patience!

Hi Lilah! I'm so happy to hear you love the pattern and are making some of these hats for your baby cousins!!! So this tutorial is actually for the Teen/Adult size but I do offer a Kids version on my blog and Ravelry/Etsy - the way the croc sts are made is the same as this video, but the stitch counts are adjusted to fit an average 3-10 year old! If that's not small enough, please feel free to email me and I can try to come up with some adjusted sizing as well (craftykittycrochet@gmail.com) !!! Here's the link to the Kids version - thanks again!!! ~ Melissa www.craftykittycrochet.com/2018/11/23/mermaid-slouchy-hat-crochet-pattern-kids-edition/

@@craftykittycrochet4270 Thank you so much, I really appreciate it !🥰

@@Lil4hh. You are so welcome!!! ^_^

The most balanced crocheted circle is best done by starting with 12 stitches and increasing by 12 each round in order to keep it perfectly round and flat. The 12 petals helps keep that flat and rounded balance in the project. The number 12 is also divisible by 4, which is necessary to turn the circle into a perfectly symmetrical square. Crocheters love perfect squares because they are the 100% easiest shapes to stitch together. So theoretically you could make one with more petals or fewer petals but that number would have to be divisible by 4. So that means when making a sunflower you'd have to choose between 8, 12, and 16 petals. With 8 petals, they would simply be too few and too big to still look like a sunflower. With 16 petals, they would be too small and too many to look like a sunflower. If you want more numerical options for petals, look up (or create your own!) Hexagonal or Octagonal granny "squares". With a hexagonal "squares" you'd need the number of petals divisible by 6. Likewise the octagonal "square" would need the number of petals to be divisible by 8. All while keeping the flower itself proportional. Hope this helps 🙂

Hi Marina! Unfortunately, I'd have to upload another copy of the video if I removed the music, which I still might do at some point. I apologize if the music is distracting! This was one of my first RUclips videos and I've now learned that no one likes background music :) So my future videos will not have any! Thank you! ~ Melissa

That's awesome, way to go!! I'm so happy you enjoyed the pattern/video! I hope your mom loves the blanket!! Thank you again so much for this awesome comment! ^_^ ~ Melissa

Hi Lilias! I'm so happy you like my video - thank you!!! Cushion covers sound absolutely lovely - it's definitely okay that you used my pattern to make them!! Great job getting creative and using the squares for another project!! :D Thanks again! ~ Melissa

That's great to hear, Chris! Thank you so much!!! Your hat sounds lovely! Thanks again for your kind comment and Happy Crocheting!! ~ Melissa ^_^

Thank you so much!! Hope you enjoy my patterns!

Yay!!! Thank you so much, I'm so happy to hear that! Enjoy the pattern and hope your daughter loves her new hat!!

Thank you so much!! Ergonomic hooks make a big difference in my crocheting, comfort-wise, for sure! Really enjoying this set :D

Thanks, they are really awesome hooks and I'm enjoying them!!! Same to you and yours, thank you so much!!! <333

Hi Zoe! I'm so happy to hear you love my sunflower pattern! About the spaces between, they are a bit larger since this is a larger granny square! I'm not sure exactly how to go about crocheting between the spaces since I've never tried that, but if you'd prefer not to have any space there, the simplest way I can think of going about it would be to crochet a "back" piece for the square and sew it on perhaps? That would add some time to the project, but you wouldn't be able to see anything through the spaces, at least! Hope that helps!! ~ Melissa

Crafty Kitty Crochet Thats good advice! I just downloaded a sunflower throw pattern. If I share it with you do you think you could do a square so I have a visual? I’m not good at following a guide as I am watching and learning. Let me know because your videos are so helpful!!

@@zoetucker2974 I'm glad it helped! Is it the sunflower throw blanket pattern from my blog? If so, this is actually the video for that pattern! If not, let me know and I can try and help with it the best I can! I'm glad you enjoy my videos!!! ^_^

@@craftykittycrochet4270 www.etsy.com/listing/641020353/vintage-crochet-pattern-sunflowers?ref=user_profile&pro=1 This is the link to where I bought the pattern! Its a different type of square pattern than yours in the video. Even if you can't help, it's still a stunning blanket to check out!

@@zoetucker2974 Ah yes I've seen this one around! It's gorgeous!!! There's a video tutorial on RUclips for one that's very similar, the way that the petals are made reminds me of the pattern you showed me! Maybe having this visual might help? ruclips.net/video/REiYSNGQ34s/видео.html

Thank you so much Elena!! You are so welcome and I really appreciate your kind compliments! That's a really good question actually, not silly at all! If you're left handed, then I would recommend trying with your left hand first. I know some folks who are left handed who taught themselves how to crochet right handed, but in general I think it's a bit more difficult than just trying with the left! I'm right handed and have tried teaching myself to crochet left handed and it feels very weird lol!!! There are lots of great tutorials for left handed crocheters out there too, that might help and give more info. I hope that helps!! Thanks again!

I like your sun flower tutorial but the music is annoying

Sorry to hear you don't like the music, Rose, but glad you like the video overall! I've now stopped using music in my video tutorials. :)

I'm so glad to hear you found my tutorial and enjoyed it, Nihal!! You are so welcome and thank you! Happy Crocheting!! ^_^

I am so happy to hear that, Ramona!!!!!!!! I'm glad you love it, and you are so welcome - thank YOU for using my pattern/tutorial! ^_^

You are so welcome, thank YOU for checking out my tutorial!! I'm so happy you decided to make my mermaid hat and that the video helps!! :D

Yay! Thanks so much! And hi! :D

Thank you Ruth! It definitely helps to be able to make the blanket one square at a time; it doesn't feel like quite as big of a project that way! :)

You are so welcome and thank you! The yarn is Red Heart Super Saver in Coffee, Gold and Light Sage. There's a link to the pattern in the description that has more info on the supplies, too! ^_^

I have one more question😅..Can you measure the brown part?Because i couldn't understand how big it is

@@dilekaksen1074 Sure! It's 3.75 inches across, or 11.5 inches in circumference! Hope that helps!

@@craftykittycrochet4270 Thank you..My mom is knitting now.It looks so beautiful.Have a good day!

@@dilekaksen1074 That's wonderful news! I hope she loves the pattern! Thanks and you have a great day as well!!
