I get bored or frustrated with most tutorials. Your method is FANTASTIC for someone with ADHD such as myself. Thank you for a simple tutorial...straight to the point and clear as glass. Thanks!!!
Written instructions 🤍
( doing this so I can easily find them if I have to start over. if it's not ok to comment the written instructions, tell me and I'll delete it🙏)
Magic circle > chain 2
Row 1 : 10 double crochet (dc) in the circle > close the center by pulling the tail > slip stitch (st) in top of chain 2
Row 2 : chain 2 > 2 dc in every stitch (increase) and swap colors every 2 stitches > st in top of chain 2 (change color so it matches previous row, to continue the pattern)
Row 3 : chain 2 > increase (2 dc) in every 2nd stitch (every last stitch of each color) > st in top of chain 2 (same color, to change the pattern on next row)
Row 4 : chain 2 > increase (2 db) in every 3rd stitch (every last stitch of each color) > st in top of chain 2 (change color)
Row 5 : chain 2 > increase in every 4th stitch (last of each color) > st in top of chain 2 (change color)
Row 6 : chain 2 > increase in every 5th stitch > st in top c2 (same color)
Row 7 : chain 2 > increase in every 6th stitch > st in top c2 (change color)
Row 8 : chain 2 > 4 dc in a row then change color > 2 dc then increase (2dc) in last stitch of the color below > change color and repeat > st in top c2 (change color)
Row 9 : chain 2 > follow pattern (dc in every stitch, follow color) > st top c2
Row 10 - 13 : chain 2 > follow pattern (dc in every stitch, alternating colors) > st top c2 (change color every 2 row)
Brim Row 1 : chain 2 > increase every 7th stitch (while following color pattern) > st
Row 2 : chain 2 > increase every 9th stitch (following pattern) > st
Row 3 : chain 2 > increase every 11th stitch (following pattern) > st
⚠ erin estimated that one checker would be too big if she increased in it so she chose to increase one stitch early (10th instead of 11th) to make a smaller checker bigger. have to be careful and judge what looks best for your project
(Final) Row 4 : chain 2 > increase every 13th stitch (can be placed earlier or later depending on how your checkers look) > st (can change color to make it match and look nicer) > cut > pull yarn > weave in ends (in a checker one way, then other way)
☝I tried it once and had no issue until I realized that the size of my hook and yarn were smaller than hers so my hat was way too small. I'm about to start the project all over again by starting with more than 10 dc in the magic circle. I'll update here with the result, if it worked or not. I think my yarn is a 3.5mm and I used a 3mm hook, so I'll switch to my 3.5mm hook and increase the amount of dc as explained.
❕️update I tried with 16 instead of 10 dc in the magic circle. it's too big. I have to start AGAIN. I'm gonna cry
❕️❕️ 2nd update : with 13 dc in the magic circle, I managed to get a good result. the shape wasn't as bucket hatty as I'd hoped so maybe 1 more dc would have been perfect
💌 thank you so much erin for this free and simple tutorial!! it's super helpful. and also, you have a lovely voice🤌 have a good day everyone! good luck 🙏
THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG I NEEDED THIS 😭😭😭😭
❤
youre a hero istg. tysm.
Thank you!!!!
Alternate the checkered every two rows.❤
I used 10ply wool and a 4.25mm hook. I added an extra 2 rows after row 13 following the same pattern before doing the brim and the size was perfect. I love this pattern 😍
The tutorial was very easy to follow and my hat came out so cute…I’m not really familiar with patterns even the simple ones like checkers but you had me feeling all advanced😂
Just did your bucket hat with turquoise ombre super saver yarn and I am in love with this pattern of a bucket hat ughhhh❤ so glad I followed your pattern .
Aww thank you so much!! 💖
I just finished mine, the tutorial was super easy to follow and the checkers actually made it easier to count my rows?? Crazy. Mine turned out kinda big, but I think it’s bc I used a 5.5mm hook (smallest I have on hand). A little disappointing, but that just means I can try this pattern again once I get a smaller hook :) was my first time doing a pattern where you switch colors and it turned out good!!
In conclusion, great vid will watch again :)
Tysm!! Yes try sizing your hook down a couple sizes for a tighter fit 💖
Just finished a hat, starting on a second. I really enjoyed the pattern. Thank you
This was so fun to make!!! I added an extra row of checkers to make this for my boyfriend. I also added a string in between the brim and the hat to cinch it to fit nicely. Thank you for the tutorial :)
You’re so sweet!! 💖
Was sent by another creator Happy to hook creations, and loved this tutorial. This hat looks like a coach hat.Thank you for this great, easy to follow tutorial.
Oh that’s so sweet! Glad you stopped on by 💖
I love this pattern, it's so easy to follow and works up SO fast! I've made 6 of these so far, which is great for me because I am slow af lol
Yay I’m so happy you like it!! 💖
Wonderful tutorial. I just finished my first one and it turned out perfect.
Happy hook creation,sent me over to watch this awesome pattern...hers is absolutely awesome 👍🏾 thank y'all 👋🏾❤
Hi hi!! That’s so kind of them, I’m honored 💖
Hi!! I have followed several checkered crochet bucket hat and found your pattern easier to follow at the end I added crab stitch for border. Thank you.
Finished my bucket hat today!! It did turn out a little big and I had to go back because I forgot the chain 2 at beginning 😩 so I just added it to the 2nd to last brim row! 💜🫂
I love this pattern. I ended up downsizing my hook to a 4.25 and adding an extra row for the brim with an increase in every 15th stitch
this was a great tutorial! I love how my bucket hat came out!
Just finished, love it! You made a great tutorial, subscribed immediately. Thank you!
💖💖💖
I’m about to try this in colors for my local college. Super excited. Thanks for the great video.
You’re so welcome!
really like your video, you explain it so well. Almost finished with it. I did run into a little problem when it came to row 9 and up. Had to figure out where to increase. It would help me if I knew how many increases I need to make in each row. Thanks for the video.
I have the same problem, where is the increase after row 9?
@@denisefucaraccio3661 i don't believe there is an increase. You just continue the checkered pattern (80dc total) until you get to the brim which is Row 14
Newer crocheter and this was so helpful!! Youre an incredible teacher thank you so much
Oh thank you!! 🫶
Those hats look awesome. I’m going to make one eventually! 💪🏾
I just finished my second hat with this pattern! It turned out great! An extra touch I added, was that I used some faux fur yarn to single crochet a fluffy border around the brim, and it turned out adorable!!!
I have some leftover Chenille yarn that would work great for this. Thanks for the idea!
This is such a cute idea!!!
Ww
love the way this came out. thanks so much for the tutorial!
Okay I started and restarted 😂but getting the hang of carrying other colour!! I couldn’t do it with the 4.5 sized hook so working with a 5.0 .. I will see how it turns out thanks !! ❤
I usef chuncky yarn for this pattern and I absolutely love it 🥰
Thank you for the tutorial, it was very clear et I love that hat so much! I can’t stop making them
oh my gaaaaawwwd! 😍 much awaited tutorial from you. will make this for sure for everyone in the fam as a gift. thanks for this Erin ☺️
You’re so sweet, thank you!!
@@itserinb hi!! How could I make this pattern smaller for kids?!
Omg this hat was soo easy to make and I love how it turned out!!!❤️❤️❤️
Love it!!! Made it for my friend in black and pink she loved it thank you!! This was officially my third project and it turned out so good
My only tip would be to hold the string of the color not being used directly behind the stitch so it gets incorporated as well😊. I had to learn the hard way before incorporating the yarn of the other color
lol it turned out too big for me so I just ended up giving it to my dad 😔 he likes it tho so it was definitely worth it
That still counts as a win!!
You can use a smaller mouth size of hook
Turned out way too big for me, too!
Thread elastic through the row before the brim
Guys, just skip the 8 row with increases and make it without, like the 9 row for me was also too big and with that is more tight on sides of head
Just made mine from your tutorial and it's super gorgeous not exactly as yours because of some obvious mistakes but it's very pretty
Awesome tutorial!!!! I’m very impressed with the outcome. Did mine in orange and black for practice…. Can’t wait to try other color combos
Thank you for sharing
I love the way you explain your direction.
Can't wait to get started!
I wanna make this but in a smaller size for a baby can you tell me what should i do what can i change in the pattern
I love this tutorial,my only issue was at the beginning change of colors,I wanted it to give checkered but it was going spiral,I had to start over
Not skipping ads to pay back for the free tuts
Checkered hat tutorial! Yay! Been trying to find one of these I can use for a cotton hat for my grandson!! Thanks!!
You’re so welcome!! 💖
Thought I could just watch and make it later. But it’s too good. Had to go grab stash yarn and follow along! 😝
It gets like that 😅❤
The introduction was very helpful, thanks!
So cute! Love this pattern. Thank you Erin!
Thank you girl!!
What are the measurements of this finished hat? I believe that would really help..especially knowing how big it should be BEFORE we start adding the brim..I’m at the point of adding the brim and my hat is still like 2” AWAY from my eyebrows 🤷🏽♀️ but fits well on top of my head..I mean maybe the brim is really long?
thank you for the tutorial dear, it was really easy to understand!!!
Yay I’m glad 🥰
Very cute!
💖💖💖
Yay bestie we love youuuuu
Thank you love 💓
Thank you ❤
time it took me because i used 3.0 mm hook: 5 hours
tip: use a larger hook if you want to finish immediately, but it will result into much bigger.
Thanks Erin! They look great!!! 😊
Aww thank you!!
@@itserinb hi!! How could I make this pattern smaller for kids?!
Thank you for this tutorial!! Brb gonna make 5
Do ittt!!
Yall just trust the pattern👏👏
Amen 😅💖
What is the reason for the chain 2 at the beginning of your rounds?
hi i love the video but i just wanna ask how did you make the top flat mine pushed up when i did it
Hey, this might just be me but I find it really really hard to follow this tutorial with the cuts inbetween (e.g. when you did the magic loop or at 5:26)... I had to look up another tutorial for this reason but maybe it´s just because I´m a complete newbie to crocheting! Love how your hats turned out though! xx
Same
i was wondering if your head doesn't sweat a lot when you use acrylic yarn?🙈 I'm not sure what kind of yarn I should use
If it’s dead of summer yea my head will definitely sweat 😂
Will it work if i just do one color? Just plain instead of checkered?
The brim ❤Every seventh stitch ❤️ two DC....repeat process... DC in every ninth stitch ❤️..... Etc....ten in a row, Inc DC.
Hi! This was my first time changing the color of yarn like this and I did not understand 😅, I made my whole hat and then realized my error. Ya… the inside of my hat looks awful. If there is a mistake to be made I will find it and make it - every time 😢
It’s okay , I messed up my counting but it’s still okay !
I am on my fifth row but I'm noticing overall yours looks relatively flat. I'm not sure what I've done but mine is in a very shallow bowl shape??? It still seems usable if I continue with the pattern, I'm just wondering what that's about and if I have done something wrong for it to curl?? I don't really see a curl happening with yours .-.
Love this pattern, have already made 3 bucket hats lol as other ppl have said, you explain really well and I’ve never done crochet with more than one colour yarn before and you made it look so easy!
Just wondering, if I wanted to make a smaller hat for a child, do I just do less than 10 dc in that first magic circle? And increase like you did
For a smaller head or child, I would suggest working the same pattern but much less rows of increases at the top of the hat. For example - only work 4 rows of increases, check the size of the circumference and then work the body of the hat as shown 💖
@@itserinb thank you!
How many grams of yarn did you use for each color?
I love it ❤ Tysm for the tutorial.
Did you use all of the 2 skeins? I noticed they were each approx 200g. I'd like to know to understand how much yarn I should buy :)
i only used about half of each skein (maybe even less)! I would suggest a safe 150 yards in both colors
@@itserinb thank you so much! I just realised I bought my skeins in size "2 FINE" instead of 4 MEDIUM. 😣 any recommendation in the sizing? Would you place 20 double crochets instead of 10?
I'm on row 6 annnnnd my hat doesn't look as flat as yours ? Mine has a dome shape and I'm not sure why.
love it, i made a lavender and mustard one!
I loved the easy to follow pattern and i even sized down 2 sizes of a hook to make suee it fit but it ultimately turned out wayyyy too big and looks goofy on me 😢😢
I love this pattern it came out really well and is easy and quick to make 🤩
Can i use 5 ply yarn pls reply ❤
This is lovely and you are such a good teacher 💓 thank you 🌱
I had a question about dropping my yarn to switch colors
On the inside of the hat are the colors going to cross over? Because mine looks crossed over on the inside 😭
You don't drop the yarn you carry it so you should lay it ontop of your last row and crochet over it. Maybe look up videos on how ro crochet yarntails into your work😅
followed this easily!! thank you queen
I only have weight 5 yarn, would I have to adjust this pattern?
Do you have a written version of this pattern for sale?
Hello! Isn't it hot in an acrylic hat in the summer?
It’s all a personal preference! You may use whichever fiber you prefer!
hello can i ask what's the purpose of the increases while working on the brim?
So the brim flares out.
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! I've liked, and subscribed!
I've made 2 already!
Wondering if you have some suggestions on how many stitches to start with for a kids sized one?
For a 4 year old!
You could just use thinner yarn or size down the pattern which would be harder
Do you know how to adjust this pattern for different sizes? I realized I don’t need to increase as many times as you did in order to make it fit a child but then I see that will mess up the increases of the checker pattern like 4 stitches each color. I’m not sure if I have to just make it like that or stop increasing at row 6 & just have smaller squares for the checkered look but it be the right size. Lmk what you think anyone
lovely video .. but i wud like u to clarify something for me.. in the 9th row u did 2 DC and then 7 DC and that was the 9th row.. in the next 4 rows do we have to do the same thing 2 DC and then 7 DC stitches?
i just tried this pattern and it's sooo cute but for some reason it's extremely big and loose :~( is there a fix for that that won't compromise the look of the checkered pattern? thank u :~)
I follow the pattern but its to small for me😅
Is there a way to make this pattern for a baby? My brain can’t figure out how I could make it smaller without messing up the checkers
Hi, if I used a 4 mm hook, will the results still look the same?
i’m using a 4 mm hook to make the hat and it doesn’t make that big of a difference :) it pretty much looks the same
I LOBE YOUURHEUR
How the heck do you keep the yarn from tangling/twisting when you carry it through the project? I'm having to keep flipping & unwinding my yarn so they are twisted on each other. 😳
Although this was a great tutorial, when I attempted this pattern it was GIGANTIC! I don't think this hat would fit anyone, it even looks big on Erin. I scrolled down to find many comments from people who had the same issue. I had to unravel a lot of my work (hours worth) and then only increased until row six . It is now a good size for me and will take far less time to recreate. This is the tutorial I used :) ruclips.net/video/AombHMWBfKM/видео.html&ab_channel=HookedonHomemadeHappiness
I actually find mine very snug...
ok i thought i was crazy because everyone’s came out great and i’m like why is mine huge?! it breaks my heart to unravel so much and it’s been taking me days 😂 thank you for this
@@danielle1713 So weird how it seems to work for some but then not for others. Im glad it worked for you.
um may I ask, how many grams of yarn did you use for each color?
My hook is 4mm so should i do 10dc or more? I am thinking of doing 14
How many gram of yarn each color do we need?
I can’t understand how you do side for the bucket without crocheting in only to the back loop ?
Is this a medium size hat?
I would classify this size as an average medium. I have a smaller head and this has a little wiggle room on me 💖
I Used a smaller hook 4.25 if I want to increase one more time how many should be between?
How much yarn did you use?
Would it work alright to use cotton yarn for this bucket hat? Also how much yarn is estimated that I need for this project? Red Heart supersaver is not available where I'm from!
I don’t see why cotton wouldn’t work. I used craftsmart value yarn. Had 2 skeins (each 354 yards/7 oz; 324 m/198 g). I used probably a third of each skein.
@@KnitsByNayla I appreciate your answer! My concern with using cotton yarn was that it wouldn't be as stretchy and perhaps make the size a little smaller, but think I deffo will use cotton in the end though 😅
@@Ellie-jq2ij I'm trying to make it with cotton as well! Did it end up working for you or was it too small?
@@amberkelly8317 I actually haven't started yet! Decided to finish up some other projects in between 😅but please update me on how it goes for you!
Hello, what type of yarn should we use for this?
Heyy ! Love it definitely gonna make one !! How much time did it take you to make it ??
Always nice to see you doing tutorials
As a beginner (>2 months experience), it took me about 4-5 hours to make it
Hi! I wonder why's mine curling up already few rows at the beginning? is it because i'm crocheting too tight?
Hello! Sometimes, yes it can be your tension. But most of the time no matter what you do the first few rows can curl! It usually works out just fine :)
Hi! Not sure if you know the answer to this, but my checkers are being “tilted” if you understand. The whole pattern of my hat looks like it’s been twisted and I don’t know why. It looks like parallelograms instead of squares😅 pls help a girl out🥴❤️
thank ypu for this lovely pattern ❤
Sooo cute
Do you mind if people sell their creations from your YT tutorials?
