I’ve been looking for a seamless beanie for months and came across your tutorial. Why has it taken me so long to find you! 😱 Thank you so much for an excellent demonstration 😘🇬🇧
You do a perfect instruction tutorial! There's no need to watch your video on how to do these 2 stitches because you've done such a clean and precise job in this one! Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing this alternative stitches to use in order to avoid the obvious seam at beginning of each row!!! Love this, it's so very cool! Genius even! Thank you so oooo much!
Oh my, this is absolutely awesome. I have struggled with having a straight seam. Being a newbie, this may take me some time, but I know I can accomplish the stitch. So glad I found your tutorial. Looking forward to seeing more of your tutorials.
Thank you so much for this easy pattern. Your explanations are clear and easy. You are a genius for the invisible slip stitch and the other stitch too. Thank you again for sharing it with us!👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼☺️☺️
I wish you would say how many sts u should have in each round. I learned two different stitches, thank you. How can I get the written instruction for all sizes?
All of the stitch counts and information needed to make all sizes are given in the written pattern. You can view the free version of the written pattern by visiting the first link in the video description. I hope this helps!
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!! I’m so tired of seeing the seem in my hats. That makes it look imperfect. I can’t wait to try this this afternoon with a new skein of yarn I bought for a friend of mine. If this works, this will be my go-to pattern from now on! I’ll come back and give my results soon.
I'm a leftie and I have to pause and slow down videos to understand, but you made it so easy, and I've never seen anyone do a seamless slip stitch and the first double crochet like that. Thank you so much!
WOW this is so awesome I make beanie hats all the time and never knew how to get rid of all the ch 3 and the seam and the little twist to the new yarn is great idea love this video I will start to incorporate all the tips making my next new hats Thank you
Really love the way you do the chain 3 at the beginning of the row and the way you end the row will be using this from now on just wish it hadn't taken me 42 years to find it thank you keep up the good work
I love the join method. Its only taken me 40 years to find it...lol. I love how neat and tidy it is. I will stat using it with the plaid hats (brim up) I'm making. 👍💞👍
You are the best!!! The tutorial video is very succinct and easy to follow for the newbies, I really appreciate your work. Oh your voice is so soothing and calming to listen too while learning. Keep up the good work!!!!!
Great - I'm always afraid to crochet - so hope your great tutorial will help me over or through the gate. Two young fellas are still in their teens - so better get going! Thank YOU!
This is BRILLIANT! No need for stitch holders, making it much easier to have success with creating rounds. Very good for a struggling beginner such as myself. Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️! I’m halfway finished a hat using this technique and video, and it’s perfect! Eliminates the seam I’ve always hated!!!! Thanks so much for this! Very appreciated!
Hi. Are you referring to downloading the written pattern? There is a downloadable PDF version available in my shop here: yayforyarn.com/product/pdf-crochet-patterns/seamless-double-crochet-hat/
Brilliant. You are not only an expert at crochet but also as an instructor. Thanks for the technique. I plan to use it. Does this work for half double crochet also?
Hi Toni! Yes, this does work for half-double crochet, but the steps are slightly different. I have a video on that here: ruclips.net/video/UjSCCTPMM_I/видео.html I hope this helps!
Hi! Yes, you can make a seamless hat with single crochet. I do not have a pattern for a seamless winter hat, but I do have a pattern for a sc sunhat here: yayforyarn.com/summer-sunhat-crochet-pattern/ That pattern could be used with a different type of #4 worsted weight yarn to make a winter hat if you omit the brim. I hope this helps!
Wow, wish I had seen this one week ago. Just finished a topdown sweater with stripes. The front is beautiful but the back has that slanting seam that is just ugly. I will rip out and do your method. Thanks for this technique. I am definitely a fan.
Hi Heather. Yes, there is a chainless half-double crochet stitch. I have a tutorial showing how to work that here: ruclips.net/video/uKZLp-Na1_c/видео.html and here: ruclips.net/video/9DCN4RNO7jg/видео.html
All of the stitch counts for each row in each size are given in the free written pattern, which you can view at the first link in the video description.
Hi! You can use the same color-changing technique to change colors for every row. If you want to use a different color every time, you can just change colors as shown in the video, but cut the yarn and tie off the yarn tails, then weave in the ends. The actual pattern for making the hat will be the same. I hope this helps!
Hi! If your last loops are loose, try shortening the stretched loop at the beginning of the stitch a little bit. The length of the stretched loop is what determines the tension for the chainless stitch, so shortening that loop a little will help prevent it from being so loose. I hope this helps!
Hi, I hope you can help me out here. Im trying to do a beanie similar to yours but instead of double crochet i want a half double crochet. Does this method work for half double? Im having issues with color change. If you have additional feedback on changing colors its much appreciated Thanks
Hi. Yes, this method does work for half double crochet, but it is a bit trickier, as the chainless starting half-double crochet is harder to work. To keep it simple, I would recommend starting the round with ch 1 (not counted as a stitch), then hdc in the same stitch the ch 1 was coming from instead of starting with a chainless starting half double crochet. You can then work the invisible slip stitch in the top of the first hdc of the round to join at the end of each round. However, if you're working in half-double crochet, you'll need to base your stitch counts and shaping increases on a pattern that is designed for half-double crochet. If you were to follow the exact stitches in this pattern, but switch it to half-double crochet instead of double crochet, it would create a hat with an ill-fitting shape. I hope this helps!
Can you use the same method with a Half double crochet? I'm having trouble with it. The current pattern I'm working on for a witch hat is all HDC. Obviously the hidden slip stitch will work, but I'm having issues using your method for the beginning of a row
Hi Daniela. Yes, you can use this technique with a half-double crochet. If you don't feel comfortable with the chainless starting half-double crochet, I would suggest just doing a chain 1, half-double crochet in the same stitch to begin the round. Then, at the end of the round, you can do the invisible slip stitch into the top of that first half-double crochet stitch (not counting the chain 1 as a stitch). I hope this helps!
Searched high and low for a striped beanie tutorial! Its amazing thank you so much!is there a way to do the invisible join with half double and single crochet? I need to do a thin row of white, a thicker row of red and then blue? Thank you again
Hi Justine! Yes, you can do the invisible join with other stitches. I have a video on that here: ruclips.net/video/UjSCCTPMM_I/видео.html I hope this helps!
Hi Helene. This pattern is written for double crochet. If you would like to make a hat in half-double crochet, it would be best to use a pattern that is designed for half-double crochet. I hope this helps!
Hi Sheila. You can still use the Invisible Join method if you are turning the work after each round. The look is just slightly different than if you are not turning after each round, but it is still less visible than the normal method of beginning the round with a turning chain. I hope this helps!
I cant find your video on the chainless starting double crochet. I can do the round, but when I finish all the stitches it just continues to spiral. There doesnt seem to bee a need to join the rounds at the end. What step did I skip?
Hi Carina. Here is a more in-depth tutorial of the chainless starting stitch method used in the round with stripes: ruclips.net/video/UjSCCTPMM_I/видео.html This pattern is designed to be worked in individual rounds rather than a spiral, so you can add stripes without a jog. The starting chains and slip stitches normally used when working in rounds create a visible line that goes up the work. by using the chainless starting double crochet to replace the starting chain of each round, and by using the invisible slip stitch instead of a regular slip stitch, the join is made to blend into the fabric much better. If you ended up working in a spiral, I would guess that you may have either skipped the chainless starting double crochet, or your chainless starting double crochet may have been worked incorrectly, making it shorter than the other stitches. The chainless starting double crochet should be about the same size as the rest of the double crochet stitches, and there should be a distinct beginning of the round to join into. If you still have trouble with the technique, feel free to send me a photo at blogger[at]yayforyarn.com, and I will be happy to help troubleshoot. :)
I couldn’t tell, but on Round 4…did she enter the 1St stitch from the BACK or FRONT? To my eyes, it looked like she inserted the crochet hook into the front stitch? I thought it was supposed to enter from the back first stitch. Anyone can clarify for me? Thanks 🙏🏼 I do like the Seamless Dbl. Crochet 🧶👌🏻
Hi! When working the Invisible Slip Stitch, the hook should always enter the first stitch of the round from back to front. The video shows the hook joining Round 4 inserted from back to front. If you were to insert from front to back, the join would not be invisible. I hope this helps!
Hi! This pattern is designed for double crochet. If you want to make a hat with half-double crochet, you can just use a pattern that is worked in half-double crochet, and apply the invisible join technique: ruclips.net/video/UjSCCTPMM_I/видео.html Hope this helps!
Hi Carol! Did you continue through all the rounds of the hat? As you continue working plain double crochet rounds, the shape of the hat will gradually smooth out and come down the sides neatly. During the first few plain double crochet rounds, though, it looks like the rounds without increases aren't making much difference, but if you work the rest of the double crochet rounds, it will create a smooth, fitted shape. I hope this helps!
Hi! A slouchy hat is just a longer version of a regular hat. So to make this hat slouchy, you would just repeat the round for the Body of Hat until the hat is a bit longer than the pattern says. I hope this helps!
Hi! Are you having trouble with the color change, or the tie off at the end? If you could clarify what part of the technique is not working for you, I would be happy to help!

Does the chainless method work for half double? I'll keep trying. Hopefully I get it or find a tutorial ❤🥰

Incredibly lovely 😍😍😍
Thank you, Lola! I'm glad you like it!
It would be helpful if you mention how many stitches you have in the round. Thx

I agree! That was really cool! Thank you!
Thanks, Lisa! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Will have to try this!
Thanks, Lisa! I hope it works well for you!
That is a very good method.
Thank you! I'm glad you like it!
have you done a hat with different colors for each row
Hi! You can use the same color-changing technique to change colors for every row.

Your method is amazing!! Though I am struggling with the 'second pull through two' - mine ends up loose and I just cannot master it!! 😭

@@YayForYarn Thanks a lot
Love....love the no seams. Can i use a half double crochet to make this hat?
Hi! This pattern is designed for double crochet. If you want to make a hat with half-double crochet, you can just use a pattern that is worked in half-double crochet, and apply the invisible join technique: ruclips.net/video/UjSCCTPMM_I/видео.html Hope this helps!
My had turned out too big. It seemed to have too many increases in the top before starting just double crocheting. Thanks
Hi Carol! Did you continue through all the rounds of the hat? As you continue working plain double crochet rounds, the shape of the hat will gradually smooth out and come down the sides neatly. During the first few plain double crochet rounds, though, it looks like the rounds without increases aren't making much difference, but if you work the rest of the double crochet rounds, it will create a smooth, fitted shape. I hope this helps!
If I wanted to make this a bit slouchy, what would you recommend?
Hi! A slouchy hat is just a longer version of a regular hat. So to make this hat slouchy, you would just repeat the round for the Body of Hat until the hat is a bit longer than the pattern says. I hope this helps!
I can not tighten that last loop and it is not adjustable. The technique is wonderful but somehow I dead that last loop on the needle.
Hi! Are you having trouble with the color change, or the tie off at the end? If you could clarify what part of the technique is not working for you, I would be happy to help!
