thank you for watching my videos. Have you joined our group yet? You can share all of your bobwilson123 projects here. facebook.com/groups/338449986970915/
i just have to tell you once again " YOUR THE BEST TEACHER EVER"!!! i was able to watch and make my son a bennie in time flat & he love's it, now he wants a bennien in every color he likes..... THANK YOU!!!!
Just wanted to say THANK YOU!! I have been crocheting for 25 years and was too young to learn how to read patterens and could never understand the forgien lanuage that is the "written crochet patteren". That being said I have done everything in my power to TRY and make hats with very rare sucess. You have made hats fun for me now, not torture. LOL I'm on a role now. From people like me who need to "see it done" THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to make these turtorials.
This trick to make it "seamless" is brilliant!!! you cannot see it at all, thank you so much!!! I love all of your videoes-- you are proof that you can "teach an old (grandma) new tricks"!!! Thank you for the time you give for us!! :) :)
It's official, you have taught me how to crochet. I had zero experience and now I can make so many different things. You are great at explaining and showing exactly what to do in your videos. Thank you for making these great tutorials!
I am a "later bloomer" when it comes to anything other than scarves or blankets. So far with your help and guidance, I'm on my third - yes I said third, hat. Thank you so much for posting these instructional videos! Now I'm an AWESOME grandmom!!
I only watch your crochet videos because they are funny and you are the only one that actually explains it! Thank u soon much now everyone is asking me, " can u crochet me something" lol but thank u soo much!!!
thank you so much my dear....I have been crocheting for over 30 years and NEVER knew that little trick of skipping the beginning chain in order to eliminate that ugly gap in my work. I have tried loosely doing the chain to help it blend in, but still I can see it. Now I wish I could redo all my hats with this new technique!!! Also the sizing tips are super too! Take care Clare xxooxxoo
Your tutorials are amazing! I was wondering if maybe you could do one on a chevron afghan. I've seen other tutorials and I can't learn from them the way I learn from you. :)
I am loving all of your tutorials! I was wondering if you could do one for converse high top slippers? I have the pattern but am stuck on one area and could really use your experience and expertise
I love your tutorials, in fact made 5 of these beanie pattern, each has a different twist, made 2 owl beanie, 1 pig and 2 Mickey Mouse using these pattern...thank you so much
I love the way you teach! I have watched numerous knitting & crochet videos & you have a gift. You effectively repeat & demonstrate more than once. You effectively incorporate all the key details--giving the big picture. Plus, you are lovingly personable! Please do a video of the crochet hat that spirals from the top & does not use double crochet. One video called it a man's crochet hat. Please do a video of this hat. You are a true Dearheart!
Great teacher! A teacher who can teach me her mistakes and help me not to do them or when I do I know why my project looks not right is a teacher that should be teaching more! I did my hat in camo and I can't see the seam at all, thank-you!
Finally a video that incorporates all factors needed. I did find the formula on the Internet the other day. Best thing ever. I love the chain three. I have been watching many tutorials, and this is the best. Wonderfully done!
I watch and learn your tutorials all the way from San Antonio Texas and I think you are a fabulous teacher. You explain and show exactly what and how to do it. I have learned more from you than from classes I have had to pay for. Thanks again.
Another of the many things I love about your videos is you also pace your instructions well, keeping them on track in a way that allows us to get the info to our brains quickly--your repetitions & ability to incorporate all the key info help with this too! You are a fabulous instructor!
You make the best videos on RUclips. I have been crocheting hats/beanies and you explain, your crochet techniques, where it is understandable to new crocheters and more "seasoned" crocheters like me. Thanks Laurie
Thank you so much! I have made several hats but this is the first that actually fit my head. Finally someone that could show me how to measure my head! I am now in "Hog Heaven" as we say in TEXAS!
You always give us gifts of tips and patterns.. I would like to give you my gift of an almost seamless hat.. Work in each stitch and not the V.. One more tip as well.. Not that you are doing a bad job.. Your great that is why I keep coming back!!! LOL.... When you finish a round, and begin a new one, chain 3.. Now when you crochet back to the beginning stitch around, slip stitch into the 2nd chain of the chain 3.
By the way, I started crocheting at almost 65 about a month ago, and have become quite addicted. I started and finished this beanie today. I find that loose(r) crocheting makes it much more fun and productive.
Hi, this is the best video I've seen yet on how to make a beanie. the reason I say this is because each row that I join was beginning to pucker and have a lump at the top of my hats and the seam would start to curve, I didn't know what was going, but now using this pattern i am satisfied with the out come. Thumbs up. Gonna email this to myself so I don't have to search for a beanie pattern that works. Again Thanks
absolutely love this beanie pattern the best from all the others I've tried. Currently making a turban for my mother-in-law who is undergoing kemo for breast cancer.
Thank you for this tutorial! I am pretty new to crocheting and I was having the hardest time figuring out how to do the increase on a beanie pattern I found. I had pulled it apart and restarted about ten times before I found your video. I was adding 2, 3, 4, 5... DC into one stitch instead of 2 DC in one stitch and then 1 DC into the next 2, 3, 4, 5 stitches which resulted in an ugly, flat, doily looking thing. Your instructions are so clear, and I can see what you're doing. You think of all the little details to help beginners get started. Now I can make that cute beanie for my twins. Thank you so much!
Hi Clare! I've done it again! I created something beautiful from your instructional videos on youtube! MY FIRST HAT!!! I made it for my Niece. I did a few things differently I thought I'd share. I did the band with a buttonhole ring (chain 5, slip stitch into a loop, HDC 3 inside the loop and then HDC 3 across, chain one and HDC 3, and so on) until I got the length of the band. I found it easier than the other. I hid the button under the bow, and I'm going to crochet several colors of bands and bows so she can interchange them. I'll probably do another hat in white and do the same thing. I didn't do a huge bow so it's laying down nicely. I'm just so tickled with myself! I really enjoy your videos. They are so easy to follow, even for a beginner. One thing I'd definitely tell other viewers is, once you're done increasing COUNT YOUR STITCHES!! It will keep the frogging down to a minimum. I counted backwards from my last stitch before I joined the ends of the row. If I had too many, I knew I had accidently added an increase, too few meant I skipped a stitch. It also helped me to know where my first stitch was so I knew where to start the next row. Thank you for your awesomeness!
Yes I have a video that show this, I have found that if you have tight tension this can make you hat out of shape, I can use this method but my friend who has tight tension, her hats look wonky LOL It can be so frustrating, each yarn is different and each crochet - er is different too :) Thanks for watching my video and sharing your tips
I'm so ecstatic!! I took up crocheting a couple of years ago. I was so unhappy with the obvious seams that I improvised and came up with a way to not see the seams. I was disappointed because even though I was happy with the way my hats looked, I was unhappy because I found no directions for it so I thought I was doing it wrong and I gave up crocheting. Your tutorial is exactly what I had come up with and I was a new crocheter. I am so excited to start crocheting again. Thank you so much!!!
you are great, i could not figure out how i was getting a lager hat on another one i tried to make before your video. You showed me just what I did wrong so clearly. Thank you so much!
I just wanted to say thank you! Up until a month ago, I had never crocheted in my life. I looked at many different instructional videos and websites. But your videos are what have really taught me to crochet (and I might be slightly addicted now >
You are such a great teacher...I’ve watched quite a few videos on how to do this and yours is by far the best....I love how explain everything. Thank you!
Yaaaaaaaaay!! This tutorial helped me no end!! Have finished my sons hat & am now starting on my daughters. Mine's next!! !! Huzzarrrrrr!! :) Thank you so much xx xx
Explanation and visual so clear and easy to follow. I'm a medium level crocheter and your video is by far one of the best I've seen . Thankyou so much for sharing this. ;) 👍🏻
The hat video I want you to do is the hat described in the basic man's beanie video. It spirals from the top & does not use double crochet, so the weave is a little tighter. I totally love your hats but men do prefer this other style. Thank you!
I am SO glad to have come across your channel! I've tried to learn how to crochet beanies through other videos but they are way to quick in showing how to do it!
Very good instructions. I tried both ways with the seam. The first one did just as normal and only had 12 stitches to begin instead of making that one extra to help with the seam closure. In the end, I left a long tail to help weave through to fill the obvious gaps. It wasn't horrible but I can see they are there. For the next one, I did as you instructed adding that one extra stitch and as I came to the end of the row to Slip Stitch and close the row it really made a difference. This was a good example so I could see for myself just how different it was with the slight gap and without the gap.
Great video, thank you. I appreciate all the explanation as a noob to the hook...I've watched a lot of project videos, and you are the first to explain what an increase actually is!
I love your videos. You are so detailed and explain everything so well! You point out exactly where to insert the hook on each chain which makes it a lot easier to follow and give confidence to the learner. Thank you so much. I look forward to viewing more of your tutorials. God bless.
Hi..love your tutorials...have started teaching a group of ladies in a charity I work for and run for over 50s and they are all loving it so huge huge thanks...one thing I did was do a 2ch instead of a 3ch at beg of each round as the one we don't count and it gives a neater and a much better seamless look...great work
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and how exciting that you get to teach and pass on the love of crochet to many people. Keep up the great work, thank you for watching
I am VERY new to crocheting, and I am giving this a go as its getting cold and I need a beaning to keep my ears warm :P I fear I have stuffed up the crown by not going into the bit with the three stitches- just for one round.. but I am going to continue and see how I go... I'll still wear it if its wonky :P Thanks Claire, will post a vid response when I finish :D
hi there, I love all your tutorials but this one was fab!!!!! the measuring calculation was so easy to use, I live in England and i'm making hats for the 'shoe box appeal' so need to know what size will fit all the age groups and this sorted it out just right for me, thank you so much!!!
Love how the seam looks so much better! And, I like this easy pattern. Sorry, but I had to refer to a chart done in inches.... I’m from the U.S., and am too used to inches!
Thanks a lot I've been looking for a greet bag and yours helped cause I have just started. I like how you start slow then speed it up a little. This video I only used for the bag but it really helped me
Thank you thank you ...you are the best ... I have had so much trouble getting beanies to be the right size ... you are so helpful you have made my day to say the least. Keep up the video tutorials love them and you are the best teacher so nice listening to you. 🌺
I seen the seam almost immediately, but I'm also like OCD so I see everything lol! Great tutorials I think I've used almost all of yours at least once!
Thanks Clare, just doing this for the cluster bag :) But now after doing this and seeing your friends technique for fitting hats I really want to make myself a slouch hat :) You are seriously in the top 3 best online crochet tutors in the world. Lobe your work and love hearing that Aussie accent. (I'm an Aussie too, just feels so homey) Thanks again! :))
Thank you for saying sometimes we end up with a comlete failure. I have done that several times. I will begin again. Perhaps tomorrow Thank you for your encouragement.
Your tutorials are always so helpful. As I may have said elsewhere, they are gifts that keep on giving. In this one, I too, would like to have seen a finish. I guess just a slip stitch pulled through and the tag sewn in? Nicely done, regardless. Thanks so much. To get a proper fit, I downsized my hook by one after the increases, as I was in the in-between size from the second-to-last increase row to the last. It worked out perfectly.
I found that I had that same problem so I tried it like you said you did where instead of chaining 3 I chained 2 and it comes out better that way for me. Thank you for this idea
Thanks. I finished it and it's fine, except that I may have to get a giant cat to fit it! Making the next one a bit smaller. I'm adding a pad of old wool blanket underneath to give it a bottom. The sides don't want to stand up but curl, but I think that'll be fine once a kitty rug is added!
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
thank you for watching my videos
Thank You for your tutorial....I made one of these a few years ago.. I liked it so much....need to make another.

You are very welcome :)

Great filming.
You really show nicely where to go into your stitches.

So far this my favorite tutorial. Thank you.
I seen the seam almost immediately, but I'm also like OCD so I see everything lol! Great tutorials I think I've used almost all of yours at least once!
Thanks Clare, just doing this for the cluster bag :) But now after doing this and seeing your friends technique for fitting hats I really want to make myself a slouch hat :) You are seriously in the top 3 best online crochet tutors in the world. Lobe your work and love hearing that Aussie accent. (I'm an Aussie too, just feels so homey) Thanks again! :))
Thanks for all your hard work making these wonderful tutorials, you are a crochet Angel
I like this method. After I am done with my other project, I will try to do this. Thank you for this tutorial. It is really helpful. :))
Thank you for saying sometimes we end up with a comlete failure. I have done that several times. I will begin again. Perhaps tomorrow
Thank you for your encouragement.
G'day Robin Roccaforte thank you for your comment, thank you for watching
Your tutorials are always so helpful. As I may have said elsewhere, they are gifts that keep on giving.
In this one, I too, would like to have seen a finish. I guess just a slip stitch pulled through and the tag sewn in?
Nicely done, regardless. Thanks so much.
To get a proper fit, I downsized my hook by one after the increases, as I was in the in-between size from the second-to-last increase row to the last. It worked out perfectly.
tanalee09 Yes sorry about that, Yes you do just pull the slip stitch through :)
bobwilson123 Thank you!
tanalee09 Your very welcome :)
I found that I had that same problem so I tried it like you said you did where instead of chaining 3 I chained 2 and it comes out better that way for me. Thank you for this idea
Thanks. I finished it and it's fine, except that I may have to get a giant cat to fit it! Making the next one a bit smaller. I'm adding a pad of old wool blanket underneath to give it a bottom. The sides don't want to stand up but curl, but I think that'll be fine once a kitty rug is added!
