This is NOT just any old podcast/tutorial. This is an epic in-depth hat making knitting class. I usually share all your sock tutorials from time to time.... now I have a hat class to recommend! Thanks Roxanne... well worth the time spent with you on technique Tuesday’s. Sending blessings your way.....🤗👏👏👏
Thank you for this video but a question what if you want to make the body different. Like seed st or all ribbing also you said to knit the body in 2 sizes smaller needle so is that a 1/4 size or a whole size smaller thank you Jean
I love this method! this is the way I like to knit, I don't like reading patterns, and never know how to fix something when I make a mistake or the stitches don't add up. So knowing how to create it yourself is so helpful to me. it really helps to understand the "why" when figuring out the "how"!
I’m thinking of starting to work on hats to use up some leftover yarn and am absolutely delighted to find such an in depth and well explained tutorial. Thank you so much.
I’m adding a liner to a stranded colorwork had in a different yarn weight. Your video is guiding me through the process so I can knit a liner that fits my existing hat. You make hat math soooo easy. Thank you! ❤
This contained so much information, I'll be rewatching this quite a few times. You always make things so clear and understandable. What I love about your Technique Tuesdays is you never ever assume a certain level of knowledge, and don't skip any steps of the process.
Your videos are saving my life as a new knitter! I’ve been knitting only from patterns but got some requests for custom stuff (I’d also like to start making stuff for myself) and your videos are beyond helpful! Thank you so much :)
I can not believe this video popped up just when I am ready to knit a hat for a friend. I have been pondering over how to figure this out and never grasped how to do the calculations etc. But this tutorial was awesome. You explained it sooo well. Thank you.
You have no idea how helpful your video is! I want to knit a hat for my mom and I’m so grateful that you’ve explained everything step by step! Thank you!
I stumbled across this video a few days back after looking for a hat knitting tutorial and I honestly think this is the BEST one out there! It is so clear and so informative, you can actually understand why you do things instead of just doing them when following a video with a ready hat knitting pattern. Simply brilliant, thank you for sharing your knowledge! Now I’m just going back to admiring my first ever hand knitted hat 😉
Glad it was helpful! While not all of my technique videos walk you through the construction of an entire project, my goal is to always give knitters the tools to understand how knitting works, and why you might choose one technique over another in a given situation. I don't see much point in demonstrating how to do something without explaining why/how it works. Wear your first hat proudly! :-)
WOW 🤩 what a wonderful tutorial. Clear, precise, easy to understand. Everything a you tube tutorial should be. I am on a budget right now and as some of my yarn is thrifted it's not always easy to match a yarn with a pattern, and I can tell you I have searched all over for different tutorials. This method means I can knit hats as Christmas gifts with the yarn I have, I'm thrilled to have found your channel. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. 😊
1:10 - Head measuring starts. Circumference. Crown to below ears. 2:12 - What type needle for what type yarn. How many stitches for that type of yarn. Roxanne, you are amazing! So much GREAT information, my head is reeling. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, a comprehensive guide to knitting a beanie hat. I've never knitted a hat, never used circular needles, and never knew how complex the calculations were. As in any build project, from a cabinet, to jewelry to knitting, calculations / measurements are the key. The expert builder of anything, knows how to do the math really well. What was also very interesting, was how you read a yarn label. All that cryptic info is now illuminated. So grateful for this video. The fine points of making a hat such as pointy effect with gradual narrowing versus flattening out top to fit the shape of your rounded head was an expert tip. Many thanks! Subscribed.
What a fantastic video/tutorial Roxanne! I've been making many hats lately for children and am winging it when it comes to sizing and particularly the decreases for the top of the hats. I'm by far not an experienced knitter but so far lucky ; ). You have so much great information and intelligence in your videos and yet you speak to the average knitter like myself, Thank you so much for all your tutorials! ~~~Jo
This is probably the most useful knitting video I’ve found! I’ve been trying to design my own hats, but until now I based the measurements on other patterns I already had.. now I can’t wait start designing my own hat from scratch! Thank you!!!!
This is my lucky day! This video is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Detailed with very understandable spoken and visual directions. I’m a fan! Thank you so very much.
as a moderate knitter, I simply cannot say thank you enough! I have made our grandchildrens hats about 6 years ago...far too large of course (they're 1180 miles away so measuring isn't available) and with double yarn. They loved them (they loved covering their faces :-) ) but one of the boys left their outside and when it found it, some critter apparently had "died" inside. She asked for another, and I've been wondering how to plan correctly for this new one. I'm also doing hats for our cancer center, for those losing their hair, and you've simply made my day with your clearly defined math answers! So thankful! (and I'm off to print out everything I can)
I just discovered your video and learned alot. I was reminded about the variety of cast on edges that I had tried years ago. I also enjoyed the math calculating portion in the video and I hate math. You have explained all the steps so well. Thank you!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE....did I tell you I LOVE it?!?!?! Thank you soooo much!! I was in the process of making myself the ever-so-needed plain black hat when I found this, WOW. I frogged back to where I needed to correct my mistake as per your instructions. I love my hat!! thank you again!!
OMG. I’ve been looking for this tutorial forever. Fantastic. Everything makes sense the way you explain it. Thank you so much. Doing a happy dance right now ❤😊
Very helpful tutorial and thank you so much for uploading. It is so much easier now that you have shown how to measure and calculate the lengths of the various sections of the hat. Thank you so much!
I don't know if you look at comments for old videos, but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate this video. Knowing the numbers behind hat proportion and construction has allowed me to make all kinds of neat hats without a pattern. Your method is my go to method for making hats now. My goal for 2021 is to take this method and do a more complex cabled and/or stranded colorwork hat. I would love to see more videos in the vein of this one and the fingerless mitts video you have made. Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us!
I had been stayed in finland Helsinki. There is a one good friend named by Emi taught me this type of cap making method. I made one. After 14 years.. Now I forgot. I was thinking about it and got same. Thank you so much mam. This is really nice video.
Thank you so much Roxanne...your video was so unbelievably timely 😲 I want to make a new hat for my daughter and after watching your tutorial I realised how naive I had been in relation to the hat structure - proportion and planning. I’ll have to go over your video again for more clarity about the calculations required but also thank you for the extra info posted. All the best, I’m a fan ☺️
Roxanne, I wish I had discovered your videos as total beginner, this would have saved me so much frustration in understanding a lot of things. Your videos are the best! Thank you!!!
New to your channel. I had this very same problem with a hat 🎩 I knit 🧶 for a baby 👶 I had extra chunky yarn 🧶 left over from the baby 👶 blanket I had just knit 🧶 for the baby 👶 & I wanted a hat to match. The yarn 🧶 was way to chunky & I had to figure it out myself. Finally through much trial & error...came up the right stitch 🧶 count. This video was such a wonderful gift 🎁 to those who need all the good advice. That would be me...! Thank you 😊
These instructions are very clear and helpful. I love knitting hats for family and now all I need is for them to tell me their head measurements. I will be checking back on this video often. Awesome!
My first time here and a beginning knitter reteaching myself beginner knitting. This video is so much more understandable than do this that videos. I am learning a lot and will leave this for reference
This 2 year old video is a welcome treat for me. As a crocheter, I rarely use a pattern, so as a newish knitter, that is my preferred approach as well. I made 30 + hats (crocheted) for charity this past year using this method with variants to account for individuals' sizes. Thanks to you for adding correct terminology to my methodology of madness! I am more confident that my gift knitting will fit most recipients in the future! 🧶🙂
This is a much needed video for me. I often wondered about what calculations are needed to complete a hat. You made it so clear and easy to see where I needed to insert the numbers leading up to a completed project. This video will be my go to until I have mastered these steps. Thank you 🙏🏽
Great stuff! I usually just wing it after I get the circumference right. This is much less exciting ... but much more efficient. As ever, you have given us so much good information, so clearly.
Was trying to find a basic newborn hat pattern to knit, became frustrated because several of them did not include the gauge or were knitted in a weight that I did not have in my stash; so when I found ur video I said, great but I also said Ye Gads this is tedious; however I hung with it, thinking if I can write my own customized sock patterns, I can do this! You are an excellent teacher and provide not just the basic information but optional “if” information and the detailed explanations are phenomenal! Thank you so very much-I love it
Hello Roxanne, Your tutorial was excellent, so clear and easy to follow. l've just this morning finished and thoroughly enjoyed knitting my very first hat. A very satisfying project. Thank you and have a wonderful day! S :-)
Very very good tutorial I wanted to make a hat for my grandchildren with different sizes and I didn’t know what to do until I saw your video thank you very much
Thank you so much, I have a small head and have knitted and crocheted half a dozen hats recently trying to get one that fits. Did this in chunky wool with my decreases all in the last 9 rows - but this hat fits perfectly.
I wish I had seen this video back in the 80s when I first learned to knit. You are a wonderful teacher, and I certainly will support you with $10.00. That is a bargain for a hat class with a maestro. Thank you!
Great video. Taught me things I didn't know, sort of knew, subconsciously knew but couldn't verbalize. So very useful. Everything is very well explained and clear. Thank you so much. Love it!
What a great video. I need to knit a couple of hats for my kids who live in a different state. Now I can just get their measurements and construct a perfectly fitting hat. Thanks so much.
Thank you for this Tutorial. This was very helpful to me as I knit for 11 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren, ranging from ages 38 to infant. Ann from Va
Really enjoyed this video. Well explained, and makes you understand the logic instead of just blindly following a pattern. Thanks very much Roxanne. I want to knit a beanie for my boyfriend this weekend. Will watch this video as a guideline.
You are amazing!! I will need to watch again taking notes and creating my own measurements along with you. However, I understood clearly what you explained, and this will be my first project!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you for laying it out so clearly! It's never come out right when I've done a swatch for hats so I've always just frogged and muddled my way through. Can't wait to try out these tips on my next slouchy! ☺❤❤❤
I’ve been knitting for about 2.5 weeks and this video (and many others from your channel) got me through my first hat! Thanks for making such high quality content, Roxanne 👍👍
Thank you so much for this clear instruction. You were a life saver for the decreases on a hat I was struggling to understand the written instructions. I just stopped using the pattern and went with your method. Looks fabulous and was so easy to finish.
If I could put two thumbs-up, I would, really!! Fantastic teaching material!! I am a new knitter and I was struggling to figure out how to knit a hat with a hand spun chiengora yarn. I wouldn't want to go by the trial-and-error method because my yarn couldn't sustain too much unraveling. Now I know how to plan my work ahead! Thank you, thank you!! :-D
This video is fabulous. I'm always converting kids hats to adults. You made it easier for me. (Sometimes I would cheat and look for similar hats to get cast on amounts and lengths to make sure I figured it out correctly. Thank you 💕
Fantastic! Lots of new information in that video and things I'd never thought of before like how to avoid a pointy hat by decreasing every round at the end. Perfect timing for last minute presents, too! Thank you so much!
This video is brilliant!!! I think I’ll be knitting flat and sewing up because I’m not sure I understand knitting in the round, but the way you explained this is amazing!! Just what I needed, thank you!
Thank you SO much for sharing Roxanne!! I've just gotten back to practicing knitting and this just popped up in my feed just in time!! I've always wanted to knit hats without patterns especially being that, with the holidays coming up, some of my loved ones live out of state and, so I wanted to send them hat/mittens gifts!! Plus, one day I really want to learn to create my own patterns as well!!❤️🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow! What a joy to finally get these excellent directions on making a hat! I’ve been knitting a while and am self taught. No one I know knits so the internet is my go-to for instructions. Thank you so much for this video! I have had some successful hat projects and some not so successful ones. Now I feel confident that I can make a hat that fits.

Agreed. No more guessing and hoping it’s close enough.
This video should be viewed by all beginning knitters. You do such a great job explaining the hat construction and planning. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
This is excellent info I have not heard in any other tutorial and exactly what I was needing! Thank you so much!
This video is genius. I have been knitting hats for YEARS, and I learned A TON from you, Roxanne. You are a gifted educator.
I love this method! this is the way I like to knit, I don't like reading patterns, and never know how to fix something when I make a mistake or the stitches don't add up. So knowing how to create it yourself is so helpful to me. it really helps to understand the "why" when figuring out the "how"!
This is the most perfect explanation for hat math I've come across! Plus it helped that we have the same head size and I also like to roll my brim. ❤
I’m thinking of starting to work on hats to use up some leftover yarn and am absolutely delighted to find such an in depth and well explained tutorial. Thank you so much.
I’m new to knitting. Crocheter for 20yrs. This is absolutely helpful and makes me feel more comfortable with trying to knit simple stuff!! Thank you!!

An excellent tutorial on hat making. Very clear and I know I will watch again. Thank you.
Very well explained Thankyou God bless you
Wow! Thank you so much Roxanne, great video, never too old to learn something new. Now maybe I can knit my hats without a pattern.
Was trying to find a basic newborn hat pattern to knit, became frustrated because several of them did not include the gauge or were knitted in a weight that I did not have in my stash; so when I found ur video I said, great but I also said Ye Gads this is tedious; however I hung with it, thinking if I can write my own customized sock patterns, I can do this! You are an excellent teacher and provide not just the basic information but optional “if” information and the detailed explanations are phenomenal! Thank you so very much-I love it
Hello Roxanne, Your tutorial was excellent, so clear and easy to follow. l've just this morning finished and thoroughly enjoyed knitting my very first hat. A very satisfying project. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
S :-)
Glad it was helpful!
Very very good tutorial I wanted to make a hat for my grandchildren with different sizes and I didn’t know what to do until I saw your video thank you very much
This is by far the best help i found on customizing hats. Much thanks and gratitude to you for sharing this.
Thank you so much, I have a small head and have knitted and crocheted half a dozen hats recently trying to get one that fits. Did this in chunky wool with my decreases all in the last 9 rows - but this hat fits perfectly.
Wonderful!
Exactly what I needed! Thank u so much for taking the time to show us how to do this. One stop shopping!
Wow. I have never had anyone teach me this. I just bought a pattern n made a project. Love the Merlot n green hat. Great video.
I wish I had seen this video back in the 80s when I first learned to knit. You are a wonderful teacher, and I certainly will support you with $10.00. That is a bargain for a hat class with a maestro. Thank you!
Best. Tutorial. Ever. Thank you! Definitely deserves a coffee purchase ;-)
Thank you for sharing, so, so informative
Great video. Taught me things I didn't know, sort of knew, subconsciously knew but couldn't verbalize. So very useful. Everything is very well explained and clear. Thank you so much. Love it!
thank you so much, so easy and not having so much time to knit, this was great!
Great tutorial! I’m going to show my teenager how you used MATH to calculate something as simple as hat sizing. Thanks!!!
What a great video. I need to knit a couple of hats for my kids who live in a different state. Now I can just get their measurements and construct a perfectly fitting hat. Thanks so much.
You are so welcome!
What a great instruction. I am so happy that I found your channel
Thank you for this Tutorial. This was very helpful to me as I knit for 11 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren, ranging from ages 38 to infant. Ann from Va
Really enjoyed this video. Well explained, and makes you understand the logic instead of just blindly following a pattern. Thanks very much Roxanne. I want to knit a beanie for my boyfriend this weekend. Will watch this video as a guideline.
You are amazing!! I will need to watch again taking notes and creating my own measurements along with you. However, I understood clearly what you explained, and this will be my first project!! Thank you so much!!
Quite informative and helpful. Thank you
So well explained - thank you!
Thank you for laying it out so clearly! It's never come out right when I've done a swatch for hats so I've always just frogged and muddled my way through. Can't wait to try out these tips on my next slouchy! ☺❤❤❤
Very helpful and very interesting. Thank you
This was so helpful understanding how to tackle each section of the hat!!!! Thank you SO much!!
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve been knitting for about 2.5 weeks and this video (and many others from your channel) got me through my first hat! Thanks for making such high quality content, Roxanne 👍👍
You are so welcome!
I’ve never knit in the round or worked without a pattern but my hat’s a perfect fit using your formula! Thank you so much.
Wonderful!
I love your videos. So clear and answer all the questions a beginner knitter had !!
Thank you so much for this clear instruction. You were a life saver for the decreases on a hat I was struggling to understand the written instructions. I just stopped using the pattern and went with your method. Looks fabulous and was so easy to finish.
Glad it helped!
If I could put two thumbs-up, I would, really!! Fantastic teaching material!! I am a new knitter and I was struggling to figure out how to knit a hat with a hand spun chiengora yarn. I wouldn't want to go by the trial-and-error method because my yarn couldn't sustain too much unraveling. Now I know how to plan my work ahead! Thank you, thank you!! :-D
This video is fabulous. I'm always converting kids hats to adults. You made it easier for me. (Sometimes I would cheat and look for similar hats to get cast on amounts and lengths to make sure I figured it out correctly.
Thank you 💕
This was a great lesson on designing your own hat - detailed and clearly explained, as always. Thanks!
Fantastic! Lots of new information in that video and things I'd never thought of before like how to avoid a pointy hat by decreasing every round at the end. Perfect timing for last minute presents, too! Thank you so much!
You are a great teacher. Lots of detail. Thanks so much
Thank you for a very clear explanation, you are so helpful 🙋♀️
This is my favorite style of tutorial!
This video is brilliant!!! I think I’ll be knitting flat and sewing up because I’m not sure I understand knitting in the round, but the way you explained this is amazing!! Just what I needed, thank you!
Thank you SO much for sharing Roxanne!! I've just gotten back to practicing knitting and this just popped up in my feed just in time!! I've always wanted to knit hats without patterns especially being that, with the holidays coming up, some of my loved ones live out of state and, so I wanted to send them hat/mittens gifts!! Plus, one day I really want to learn to create my own patterns as well!!❤️🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼
Best knitting video from 2019. Thank you for the very clear explanation. Fantastic. Started already with my first hat ever.
Wow! What a joy to finally get these excellent directions on making a hat! I’ve been knitting a while and am self taught. No one I know knits so the internet is my go-to for instructions. Thank you so much for this video! I have had some successful hat projects and some not so successful ones. Now I feel confident that I can make a hat that fits.
Nice and detailed explanation. Thank you for sharing your experience here 👏
