Thank you for this tutorial! I needed to make beanies because I want to start making wigs for people with cancer from all over the world. I just want everyone around the world to be happy. ❤
You are a blessing to help others
I've watched a few videos from you, and i must say: Your voice is so nice to hear when you give instructions.
Hi! I'm so glad I found you today. Your video for this beanie is the absolute best I have watched. And I've watched a ton. You're WONDERFUL and very pleasant to listen to and watch. Thank you.. I've been confused about these beanies...not anymore!
Hi Melody...
I just found your channel and I love the simplicity of this beanie. I make raffle items for a Veterans Benefit held in November. I thought this beanie would be a great raffle prize. Thank you for a great tutorial and I'm looking forward to watching many more...❣
Great video, easy to understand and right to the point. Your addition of the shaping rows is the solution to those wide flat tops that I'm not fond of, thanks for that too. Giving us the sizes for medium is a real gift because it seems that the large adult sizes don't fit snug enough. I think this basic pattern will allow for a lot of extra, creative ideas to flourish on it; your videos are truly a blessing , thank you :-)
This is my go to hat video I have made 5 so far and they come out soo nice each one I get a little better thanks for the video!!!!
It looks like I finally accomplished a decent looking seam on a hdc pattern. Thank you so-o much. I have been trying to do this for years. You made it REAL easy to understand. It is much better looking than the deeper slant... Thanks again...⭐️😄
love the hat, I just finished my first Beanie hat! thank you for the pattern and video, great
Thank you! So easy to follow and I thank you very much for the PDF pattern. Can't wait to see what other tutorials you have. I see this was 4 years ago, hope you are still posting content!
Thankyou very much for this wonderful tutorial. Learnt a lot of tricks for shaping and not having a very flat top. you are very talented and thanks again for sharing your passion and talent.
Glad I’m finding all these positive comments, now I know I can do it!
I am doing one right now..i will tagged u after i finish on this beanie.thanks a lot...
Just wanted to say thank you for the tutorial!! It was easy to follow, and understand. I followed it step by step and have finished my first crocheted hat! Thank you also for posting the printed instructions and materials used. This was sooooo helpful!
Hey Melody - great hats. The hats I have been crocheting for charity have been half double crochet. Thank you for showing how to do magic circle. I chain 4 and then join with a slip stitch and proceed with the pattern. I like how the outside is smooth where the join is....going to start doing this. Thanks for the video and instructions on your blog. Have a great one!
She's very fast.
Also I like that you gave three sizes. That really helps a lot.
Great video. I'm just getting back to crocheting after 20 years and this is just the project I want to do. Thanks.😁
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I made a twisted red and black beanie and it turned out great. Very comfortable. I will keep making these beanies and give them away for people in need. Again, thank you so much - loved it and very easy!
thank you. Wished you had a flaps tutorial to go along with this one.
Great video, ❤the doggie sound effects🐾💤😂 Just learned another way of doing beanies, thanks very much!😊🙋👍👍
I love it, too! She just passed a few weeks ago so I am so happy to have little clips of her here and there. :) Thank you! Let me know if you have any suggestions for videos.
I love this pattern so much, definitely a beginner and the half double is such a go to stitch for me thank you for your clear instructions
I like HDC too! Not as dense as SC and not as much "space" between stitches as DC.
Thank you so much Ms. Melody. I am using this as holiday presents for my family members. This tutorial helped A LOT. I have gone to many videos that have tried to explain what to do but none of them worked out for me. I saw that this was posted on my birthday and I decided to have a look. I am still in the working progresses of finishing it but so far, this video has been golden. I'm sure you make all of us happy with your videos. Please continue to make them. Love from the state of Ga.💚
Thank you sm for this tutorial, im using it to make a yarn wig for a cosplay so this tutorial was helpful with the wig cap of the wig
Thank you Melody! I always use HDC when making beanie, and you made me want to make even more...Hugs from Croatia, Ada
Wonderful easy to follow tutorial, thank you.
Thank you for this. I don't use half double crochet because of the ugly seam that no matter what, always shows. I do like this one and I successfully made the fringed triangle shawl!!!!!
Yay, Pamela! I am glad you got good use out of it. :) The good news is that I usually use this hat as a base for things that cover the seam (character hats, baby headphone hats...) I just have to watch it with bearded beanies and such. ;)
So beautiful and clear instrucción, I am knitting it now, I just finished and it is pretty beanie, I love it, I used yarn number four and needle un number hight that they recommended! Thank you very much!
New subscriber. Merry Christmas! Can't wait to go through your videos
very nice hat and thank you for sharing . when I printed the copy cowl printed not the hat pattern.
How can we get the written instructions. Tutorial is great thank you for it❤️
Thanks for the video! I, really, like the shaping trick! My beanies are turning out too flat on top
Great beanies Melody. Could you show us some of the ones that you've sewed on a character or something on? I need ideas for my old ladie's christmas beanies I'm making for the nursing home patients. Thanks!
Great job for a beginner like me. Thanks
Thx for tutorial, your voice is inspirational, very melodic,. instructions clear & easy to follow.. Do you have ear flap tuttorial plz?
Thank you! I am glad the tutorial worked out for you...I do not have an earflap hat but I make them all of the time! I will get to work on that :)
Looking forward to trying this! Thanks
I enjoyed your tutorial. Easy to understand thanks for sharing
Hi Melody can you tell me from what row are you doing a hdc in the 2 chains up please
Thanks for tutorial. Do you you have tips on cardigans?
Thank u so much for explain the sizes u really Helped me out alot
This is how my hat came out. I am a beginner. Your instructions were very easy to follow thank you sorry I couldn't add the picture
Everybody makes these hat so differently....I need something easy simple. I need to learn the magic Circle first. NICE HAT😊
Late reply, but for anyone else who doesn't do the magic ring: I still can't get the magic ring, but I don't care. I just chain 4 to begin and slip stitch into the first chain st to form my ring. It works the same. 🙂
love this well done for a beginner
Love your the pattern. Easy to follow.
Thank you for a great tutorial. I really understood the increasing.
Hi Melody. Really nice and easy patterne to follow. I'm making one using double strands of a great light weight acryllic yarn.
Went to print the pattern, but the document is wrong. It says beanie at the top and the picture is the right one. But the rest of the pattern is a cowl !! :-0
New to your channel. Awesome hat pattern. Thank you for sharing it. God Bless.
Thank You for the tutorial, is the easiest hdc beanie I ever seen, I already suscribe yo your channel, sorry if I write something wrong I do not practice my English often, rewards from Nogales Sonora México 🇲🇽
love love love your channel thank you
Love it 🥰. Thanks for sharing
Melody, I love the video and want to make some quick, last minute gifts. I used the link in your blog for the .pdf of the pattern and it opened the pattern for the Vortex Cowl....it has the picture of the beanie hats but the pattern is different. Can you update the link please?
Jenny! Im so sorry. All fixed!
So easy. Made it in 30 minutes for my sister in ICU
Using this for my TMNT hat, wish me luck!
Edit: it came out great!!
We don't the options of Red Heart yarns here in the UK. It is scare and if I do find any online it's super expensive. However, I will be making this hat with a yarn I have in my stash.
Would this pattern work with a cotton yarn?
Really great tutorial .thankyou
Could you tell me how to switch out colors like u did so they dont look so plain and can you do extra toes for a fold up brim about 2 to 3 inches
Ouch! Not plain. Perhaps minimal? :) Hehhe just teasing. But, to change colors I completely slip stitch and fasten off and then reattach the new color somewhere near where you fastened off. If you want to add 2-3 inches just put in an extra 6 - 8 rows. :)
In the small Ohio town where I live there is a Blessing Box. People put in can goods any non perishable items. Anyone in need can take what they need. I’m going to add crochet hats.
Thank you for this pattern.
please, show how to make flat top one, thanks.
I'm going to Make Your Wonderful Beanie Saturday Thank You
How did it go?!
I never do shaping rounds and my beanies are not cone shaped. But I find that most beanie patterns are too tall…more of a mini slouch look. So I normally go to 6 inches top to bottom before adding a couple inches of a border.
Can u do a chain 3 or 4 instead of magic circle I do not know how to do that yet
You totally can! I would do a chain 4 and slip stitch into the first stitch...then ch 2 and do not count that ch 2 as a stitch. :)
My rows be really tight and its hard to fix it and rows has too many gaps
Thanks so much! I’m a crochet newbie.
What size hook should you use if you only have light worsted weight yarn to do this pattern please??
Robyn P whatever the label says. But take into account the size of the persons head. Just add stitches until you get the correct size. There are many charts for a general size. Women are USUALLY 22 inches.
Not showing pattern for hats just for cowl i want to print hdc beanie hat
Thank you so much for the tutorial ❤
Best for HDC live that u gave measurements.did not know about shaping.thx
Most welcome 😊
Hello, I love this pattern. I was wondering if I can somehow make it into a double pigtail hat for my granddaughter. How would I do that? Skip stitches somewhere?
Would you like me to make a video for one? I have a special way of doing mine…how old is she?
Thank you so much. So cute. You're a gem.😊
You are so welcome
This is the first pattern in which I've seen the shaping rounds. I think I'll like those for a more rounded shape at the top and less of a "pill box" top.
I think you are putting the first HDC of each round into the base of the ch-2 every time; is that correct? (That's what I usually do but I can't tell from the video in some of the rounds.) Thanks
Subscribed.
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Hi Melody, I'm a 59 year old male in the UK who has busted started to crochet and loving it. I like the hat. What yarn are you using and what size hook?
Hi! Thats awesome that you are loving crochet. I used a 5.5mm hook and a size four (worsted weight or aran) yarn. This one was I Love This Yarn but that wont be available in shops where you are living. But, there are many other options. Stylecraft Aran would be great for a nice, easy-care acrylic.
Hi again, Melody. I'm having trouble making the magic loop. My fingers just don't seem to want to do what I tell them. Can I start with a 4 chain loop in stead and follow the pattern from there? If I chain up twice, will this count as the first HDC or will I still need to do 9 HDC in addition. Thanks for your help
Hi! You can completely do a chain 4 and slip stitch to start the hat instead of a magic loop. I do not count the chain up as a stitch in hat patterns because I dont like a visible seam. At the end of the row I will slip stitch into the top of the first HDC (not into either of the chains before it) so that chain will just disappear into the inside of the hat. Thanks for asking!
I've been crocheting 44 years. I still cant do it. Lol
Very pretty
Beginner here. You lost me on row 4 , ch 2, dc then increase? Increase where ? In the same stitch or the next one?
Row 4: chain 2, HDC, HDC, IncHDC (36 stitches total) slip stitch into the first HDC
I am new to crocheting and want to use Red Hearts with love chunky what size needle should I use? And should I follow same pattern.
This wouldn't work for that size yarn. You want to use a size 4 worsted or aran weight yarn for this pattern. :) Chunky/Bulky weight yarn is a size 5. The hat would be too large.
the sollution to this problem is by decreasing the amount of increases, and not making as many rows. i made this pattern with a thin cotton yarn, slightly adjusted it by checking how far along she would be per row and how wide it seemed, and then adjusting how many rows id use to get the same progress going. it took a bit of tinkering, but im sure you can do it with some trial and error! very important not to forget is the shaping rows, they make ALL the difference i found ( thanks to this video i found out what id been doing wrong with all my hats 😂)
Awesome thanks!
When you slip stitch chain two do you put the next stitch in the same space
Yes
Fantastic pattern and perfect instructions! I love the hdc stitching. I got my hat done in an evening and it looks great! Thanks so much! 🙌🏾
Hi, How far down do you change the color because I wanted to do two color?
About row 13. Then if you want to change back I would do so after about 5 rows.
Do you have to use a 5.5mm hook can you go down to a 5mm?
Plus can this be made for a child as well?
Hi Melody, quick question...I'm about to do the rows following all the increases (the length for a lack of a better word-new to crochet) and when im doing the HDC around, when i come to our seam, do i slip knot and chain 2 or just keep going around and around? Sorry just want to ask foing forward so i dont have to redo 😅 btw...LOVE your upbeat energetic energy!!
And yes video is little fast but that's what pause and pushing the little red button backwards is for...for those complaining it's too fast.
HI Melody, am I making a mistake by coming up with 54 stitches when you say the medium doesn't increase anymore? I keep messing up somewhere. Don't know if it's me or the video. Thanks in advance.
Deborah Goins at some point do you have 63 stitches around and you are slowly losing stitches until you end up with 54 stitches by the time you finis making the hat? Or are you never getting up to 63 stitches in the first place?
I did another increase row and got 63, but I thought 54 was for the medium. Just watch till the end and realized I need 63 for a medium, I think lol I suffer so much pain I get my own self confused. Thank you so much for replying so quickly. 😊✌️💕
this was a great video, although I am not quite sure what I did wrong. I was following the video, but my hat looks more like a frisbee than a hat. The edges never rounded and It is Kinda just a wrinkled looking pot holder
I think that is because you are increasing a lot. I was doing that too
i like the sound of your dog in the background,
Me too! One passed away in July. Im glad to hear her. :)
Is there a pattern for this hat? If not can you make me one please because I am having the issue of the top of my hat coning 😭
Dallas Austin yes! :) the link to the free printable pattern is in the video description above. :)
I love it
Hi Melody, if you had 18 stitches and you hdc twice in each of them to increase how did you get 27 stitches at the end of the row? I got 36...
The first round you hdc 9 times. The second you hdc 2 times in in each stitch end total of 18. The third you hdc once in the first stitch. Then hdc 2 times in the second stitch ending with a total of 27. Round 1 hdc 9 times. Round 2 hdc 2 times in each stitch. Round 3 hdc 1 then in next stitch hdc 2 & repeat till the end. 1hdc then 2hdc.
@@hannasisk1086 thank you so much! I was going bonkers trying to figure it out as it wasn't adding up correctly the way I was doing it. The way you explained it makes sense. I'm still new to this.....I made sure to write it down so I don't get myself confused next time. Thanks again 😁
I have only one problem and I don't know how to fix it....
No matter how many times I count and I am following direction to the t, some how ones IV finished the round and recount I always have more stitches than I'm supposed too and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, any help would be greatly appreciated please and thank you
Hi! My best guess is that (at the end of each row) you are slip stitching into one of your chain stitches the top of the first HDC of that row. It can be tricky to tell. That chain will look a lot like a stitch.
At the end of each row, you want to slip stitch into the top of the first HDC of that same row, then chain and then your first HDC of the next row is placed right into the same chain you just slip stitched into. It is a very busy little stitch. But, if you do this then work across once in each stitch that follows...you really can't increase your HDC because each one of the previous row will get exactly one HDC placed into it. :D
I hope this helps!
@@MelodyCrochet I will try this, thank you so much 😊 I'm a beginner and trying to learn the tricks of the trade lol, your video has been very easy to follow and helpful I just had that one little issue.
Thank you so much for the help 🙂
Best regards, Marie.
@@DarkForestStables My pleasure, Marie! And don't worry too much. Just have fun and the rest takes care of itself. Yarn is great like that!
You can also ignore that chain 3 and go into the first double crochet to slip stitch. Then double crochet into the stitch that you just slip stitched into. So you'll be ending and beginning in that first double crochet. Oops I said DC or double crochet. It applies to half double crochet as well.
@@deborah5568 There are no chain 3s in the pattern. :)
Thanks for sharing love to work with you awesome ❤
These are so cute! Could you add a brim maybe?
That’s a fun idea! I will see what I can do :) Thank you!
My family likes the FP BP edges. I might try a couple of those instead of the single crochet. But I’ve only done that in double crochet and I’m not quite sure how to do it in half double. What do you think?
It works well...just start front post double crochet /back post double crocheting right at the bottom of the last row of HDC's. Working around the post shortens the height of the stitch so much it blends right in just fine. I do it on a few of my baby hats. Its super cute.
If I were to make this for an 18-24 month old, how many rows of increases would you do?
That is a completely different hat. I will work on a video for it. Hopefully this week! :)

Hi. Melody I am a begginger in crocheting hats it hasn't been easy I want to what tips can you give for how many crochet rows that I need without messying up the rows and rounds I need to complete the hat for New born baby and toddler and Adult size beanie
This video is my adult sized hat. What is going on with your rows? :) Do you have gaps in your rows or are might your hats be getting too big or too small?
@@MelodyCrochet my rows be having gaps, the hat be getting to big and it be too tight
How do you keep it flat for the most part? Cuz I like a mostly flat hat.
Cut out the shaping rows where you crochet around and just add two extra rows to the end of the hat. :)
MelodyCrochet I’m using a 6.0 mm hook and it’s getting really wavy. How do I fix that?
thank you easy to follow you
I don't know what I'm doing wrong my hat's are huge & go out like an umbrella ☔ or a top hat 🎩or mushroom 🍄😨😭
Lol, I feel your pain.....mine is extra small for a doll. I'll try again tomorrow ;)
Are you using the same size yard and hook that she advises us to use? Are your stitches extra large? Just a few questions that make a difference in the size outcome.
@@deniseflorence381check your yarn and needle, I used yarn 4 and needle one size higher that they recommend.
Oh thank you! 👏🏻
My pleasure! Have a nice day :)
😄😄👏👏👏👍
