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 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!!!
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😂
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!! 💖
I’m about to try this in colors for my local college. Super excited. Thanks for the great video.
You’re so welcome!
Just finished a hat, starting on a second. I really enjoyed the pattern. Thank you
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 💖
Newer crocheter and this was so helpful!! Youre an incredible teacher thank you so much
Oh thank you!! 🫶
Wonderful tutorial. I just finished my first one and it turned out perfect.
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
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!! 💖
I just did this and I'm in love with it, tysm for this tutorial it help me a lot as a beginner crocheter!🤍
You’re so welcome!! 💖
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 💖
Just finished, love it! You made a great tutorial, subscribed immediately. Thank you!
💖💖💖
this was a great tutorial! I love how my bucket hat came 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
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.
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
Omg this hat was soo easy to make and I love how it turned out!!!❤️❤️❤️
love the way this came out. thanks so much for the tutorial!
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?!
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
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 😅❤
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
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 !! ❤
Those hats look awesome. I’m going to make one eventually! 💪🏾
I usef chuncky yarn for this pattern and I absolutely love it 🥰
Thank you for sharing
I love the way you explain your direction.
Can't wait to get started!
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!
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!! 💖
The introduction was very helpful, thanks!
Yay bestie we love youuuuu
Thank you love 💓
So cute! Love this pattern. Thank you Erin!
Thank you girl!!
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
Thanks Erin! They look great!!! 😊
Aww thank you!!
@@itserinb hi!! How could I make this pattern smaller for kids?!
thank you for the tutorial dear, it was really easy to understand!!!
Yay I’m glad 🥰
Thank you for this tutorial!! Brb gonna make 5
Do ittt!!
Yall just trust the pattern👏👏
Amen 😅💖
This is lovely and you are such a good teacher 💓 thank you 🌱
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?
I love this pattern it came out really well and is easy and quick to make 🤩
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!
I love it ❤ Tysm for the tutorial.
Very cute!
💖💖💖
hello can i ask what's the purpose of the increases while working on the brim?
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
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.
followed this easily!! thank you queen
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.
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 😂
thank ypu for this lovely pattern ❤
I LOBE YOUURHEUR
Will it work if i just do one color? Just plain instead of checkered?
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 :~)
Hi Erin! I love your tutorials and your page. I’m not sure if I messed it up, but my bucket hat came out much larger than I’d wanted. What do you suggest doing differently for me? 😊
how many increases did u do? cuz i want to make one for my friend and she said she has a big head , also you could make less increases to make it smaller or measure ur head or even put it on before you move on
The brim ❤Every seventh stitch ❤️ two DC....repeat process... DC in every ninth stitch ❤️..... Etc....ten in a row, Inc DC.
love it, i made a lavender and mustard one!
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 !
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?
Hi! I wonder why's mine curling up already few rows at the beginning? is it because i'm crocheting too tight?
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?
Do you have a written version of this pattern for sale?
Sooo cute
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
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.
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. 😳
My hat came out super large, is there a row where we’re supposed to do FLO/BLO for it to have a little more structure? I’m not sure if I skipped a row or if there’s a way to make the hat smaller since it runs large for me?
I had the same problem
Me to it came out to big
i have the same problem. im thinking of redoing it but decreasing 2 stitches off of each row. its at least 2 inches off my head
@@whereisvictoria
omg i had the same issue too, does anyone have a fix for this?
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
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!
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?
Hi! So in the first row… does it matter if the color i end off the row with is different than the color i started with?
Hi Thank you for a wonderful tuttorial. I hope you can help - my finishen hat is very very big
I can’t understand how you do side for the bucket without crocheting in only to the back loop ?
How many grams of yarn did you use for each color?
Hello, what type of yarn should we use for this?
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!
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🥴❤️
I Used a smaller hook 4.25 if I want to increase one more time how many should be between?
Hi! Thank u so much for this tutorial. How many rows should I make when I'm making this for adult man? Making this as a gift 😊🥰
I can't keep up with this,it's just too large like...how big of a head is this pattern for😭
Measure your crown around your head 🗣️, write ✍🏾 down that number....Erin B is DC around in a circle ⭕,as you go up the rows will give you an idea of the measurement measured.
Watch the colors, DC the 1,2,3,4,5...., last of the color block place two doubles and the second double don't finish the double crochet, drop that yarn 🧶 and pick up the secondary yarn to complete the DC...going up...each rows quite repetitive 😊 you'll get it ❤❤❤❤❤
Three rows of first color, change colors to second color, every four stitches change out colors.
Ypu can also use a smaller needle
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
Do you mind if people sell their creations from your YT tutorials?
So I am using lily's sugar and cream cotton yarn and a 4.25mm hook and the hat just seems really big. Is there any way I can fix it without having to take it all the way apart?
Mine is also to big, I hope someone can help
mine is tight on me!!
Yay!!!!!!!!!!
Yasssss
I'd love to share my project picture with you it came out nice but how will I share the picture and video with you
My hat came out too big for me, how would I downsize using the same yarn and hook?
With the same yarn and hook you’d have to adjust the pattern, not unless you use a thinner yarn. Don’t add as many rows to the circle in the beginning and then adjust your checkered squares!
Hello! I was following all the way until Brim 3 Row 3 (23:48) but was lost when you explained 11th increase in one specific row and altered the pattern by placing the 2 inc into the 10th stitch... at which point of the row are we supposed to do that? Thank you!
she alters the pattern when the section is a bit smaller than the next due to previous increases
❤❤❤
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😅
I love the hat, however I made it with a 4.25 mm hook and followed all the steps in the video and it came out big plus a bit floppy. I made it for myself but I think I’ll give it away as a present for a friend.
Did you use worsted/Aran weight yarn? With a 4mm your stitches should be rather tight/dense as the hook is smaller 💖
How would I adjust this so the diameter of the top is bigger? I’m currently working on row 7 and it looks pretty small
same issue here bc I used a smaller hook and yarn, only noticed it was going to be too small when I reached row 13 lmao. I'm trying again by making the original circle bigger, so instead of 10 dc in the magic ring I'll put in 16 or something, I'll update here later!
@@lenaasty how did it turn out? And which yarn and hook did you use?
@namasterri hi!! first try ended up too large so I settled on 13 dc? maybe 12 or 14? I don't remember, but I kept a larger size hook (6 probably) and it ended up like a wearable hat 🙏 I'd say the yarn was 3.5 or 4, sorry I can't be more precise it's been 8 months lol and I'm not the most disciplined when it comes to crochet 🥸 thank you for your video tho as I couldn't have done any of it without you! 💫
How much yarn did you use?
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 💖
My hat still small after a reached to 13th two double corshe how can I complete?
