    The ch 2 does NOT count as a hdc when you are counting your round for THIS pattern as it "usually" would or could in other patterns. It was creating a little gap, so I made this adjustment ;)

    Thank you so much!!! This was my first crochet project ever. Your instructions and video were very detailed. I loved my hat! I did add a few more puff lines, measured according to what I wanted. For the last rows, I also didn't take away stitches because that would have made it too tight.

    I don't understand the comments about this hat not fitting adults. I have made three of them with different types of yarn and they have all fit multiple adults. I do agree with the comments in round 4, but it didn't deter me from figuring it out for myself. I think this is a great tutorial and I am absolutely in love with this hat!!

  • @autumnr6329
    @autumnr6329 8 лет назад +12

    I LOVE this tutorial. Don't be deterred if you've never crocheted a toque before, it is REALLY easy to follow if you even have minimal crocheting experience. This was my first attempt at crocheting a toque and it turned out great, so good that I have made almost everyone I know a toque because I've gotten so many compliments on it. The only thing that I would mention is that I have omitted the dropping of stitches in the brim because it turned out way too tight...and I wear a smallish hat size. The good thing was that once I finished and realized the brim was too tight it was really easy to undo those rows and redo it without dropping the stitches and it turned out perfect. Now I always make it without dropping stitches and it turns out perfect every time. Thanks for a great tutorial Melanie!

    Hi, Melony, I haven't crocheted for a number of years and the crochet I did do previously was pretty basic. Since my Mother and Grandmother both did crochet, I was taught as a young girl as well. I was taught to do basic stitches without the knowledge of following a pattern. I tried later to follow a pattern only to become discouraged at my lack of understanding. I have always done sewing and quilting so that is the area I focused on. I decided to pick up the yarn again doing only basics again. I made two other beanies and now I have finished this one you have demonstrated. Your instructions were very easy to follow even without the print out. Thank you for your turorial. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to doing more crochet.

    I just wanted to mention something to everyone having an issue following the pattern. I'm a beginner. Have never crocheted a hat/beanie before and my beanie came out perfectly. It's honestly not that hard to follow. She explained it perfectly, at least to me. If your issue is missing stitches, get the little clip markers to remind you of where you are so you don't get lost. If your issue is that the hat is too small, there is also a modified version of her pattern in the description box. Follow that pattern and perhaps you will come out with a bigger hat. That's what I did, using a size K rather than a J hook, plus a yarn needing a size K hook. It's a bit big, but I have a hat that fits my head. And believe me, I have a pretty nice sized head LOL

      +LadyCapricorn87 true that! I am a beginner too and I felt Melanie explained it just right...not too much information not too little but just the right amount of information!

    Thank you so much for your videos! I just started crocheting a little over a week ago and have relied heavily on RUclips videos. I started crocheting because I am obsessed with slouchy hats and wanted to be able to make my own. In a week I've made a baby blanket, three scarves, and an ear warmer with a bow. Your videos are what started me off!

    I tried this tutorial and I think it came out how it was supposed to given the yarn and hook I used. My hook might have been too small, and my yarn might be too stiff. My hat came out to be too small and way too stiff for it to slouch or even fit on my head. I'm going to try again because I think it's a great tutorial and explained pretty well. Hopefully using a different yarn and hook will give me a cute beanie!

  • @Wyldbutterfly028
    @Wyldbutterfly028 9 лет назад +10

    I'm making this hat right now for the second time. First time it was far too small and a bit short. Big enough for a child not an adult. I'm not a beginner, I've been crocheting for a number of years. I've made some adjustments. Instead of using a J hook, I went with a K. I also added a few more rounds of the puff stitch and it's working out great. I don't know that I'll be decreasing as I haven't gotten that far yet the second time round.
    If someone seems to be having a tension problem try the next size hook and see if that works for you. I don't see it being a tension issue for me. I don't crochet tight and I don't feel any tension while I'm stitching.

    • @MelanieHam
      @MelanieHam  9 лет назад

      Christine DeD really? Interesting, and you are using the same yarn? If it's turning out small, going up a hook size is definitely the right move.

    • @meadowflow
      @meadowflow 9 лет назад

      First, Thank you for the video and the pattern. I was not using the same yarn (I was just using what I had) so I went up to the K, did 11 rows of puff stitches instead of 8, and did not decrease for the band. Not quite as "slouchy" as I would have liked, but my girls (teens) seem to like it so I'll call it a win :)

    • @annetterood9649
      @annetterood9649 9 лет назад

      I was having the same issue; I'm going to add a few more rows of the puff stitch to see if that helps. I am using the same brand of yarn as in the video. Plus, I have a big head so I won't decrease on the band just to be safe. It's such a cute hat, I hope it works out!

    Thank you! I've made a few of these but still feel like I'm doing something wrong - I always end up with one extra stitch after each round. So just to clarify, what stitch are you slip stitching into at the end of the second row after you do the 12 HDC's & after each row? I can't really see because the video skips a frame. Thanks so much!! 💜

    • @darngiggidy
      @darngiggidy 8 лет назад +4

      Hi +Harmony Perry, I was having the same problem. Here's what I did: I added the recommended stitches per row (so 12 hdc for row 2), then slip stitched into the ch 2 like Melanie did. When I started the next row, I did a ch 2 then SKIPPED the first stitch next to the ch 2 before adding the hdc. Counting backwards from the direction I crocheted, I count each stitch and then ignore the last stitch which is next to the ch 2. I've ended up with the correct number of stitches every time and there's even a straight line where the slip stitches meet. Hope this helps!

  • @karime5788
    @karime5788 9 лет назад +6

    Melanie, your written instructions state round 9-16 are rows of puff stitches, but according to your pictures of the hat that show the measurements beside the ruler, I looks like it's more rows 9-20 are all puff stitches, then the single crochet starts at row 21 and not 17. Can you confirm?

    • @bellasbee
      @bellasbee 8 лет назад

      +Karime Guimaraes This is so true!!! I am adding rows of puff stitches to make it longer and baggy in the back.
      I am adding 4 more puff stitch rows then finishing with the same single crochet stitches like she did. Mine is also a lot stiffer... I need to wash it and soften it up.
      It also curled in a ton while making it. :( Hers didnt.

      I basically just kept doing puff stitches for a few rows after the initial 8 she has till I was satisfied with the "slouch". Then I completed the hat like she did.
      Does that make sense??
      :) Good luck!

      Cindy Dwyer Hi Cindy! This is what round 4 says... Round 4: ch2, (2 hdc, hdc 2 and repeat) , sl st (24 stitches total)... So 2hdc means 2 stitches in the same stitch and hdc 2 means 2 consecutive stitches. So you do 2hdc and then hdc 2 and repeat going around. Does that make sense?

    I've really enjoyed making this. Had to do a couple more rounds of puff to get the height/slouch due to my yarn, but it came out great. Thanks a bunch!

      +Jennifer Joerns Had same issue. It fits my 8 year old perfectly but this was made for an adult :-(. I have unraveled to the last puff stitch and going to SC without decreasing or figuring out another way....

      @ClickerPets 8 лет назад +4

      Use a larger hook (I used a K-size or 6.50 mm hook) and don't decrease when you get to the ribbing. I made a hat for myself following the pattern exactly and it fits, but my mom and sister have larger heads. Those modifications worked perfectly for their hats. :)

      @GoToGal70 8 лет назад +2

      +Jenn Joerns ...I had the same problem. Very sad, since i did the whole hat just to find out it doesn't fit adults. I used the same hook size and everything. Now to rip it apart and roll the yarn back up into ball. :(

    • @PiliPala99
      @PiliPala99 5 лет назад

      Second attempt at making a hat and this turned out almost perfectly. I have a big head and the pattern definitely fits adults. The only issue I had was my tension on the last few rows of single crochet, but I was able to just unravel and do slightly looser.

      The hat was way too small when completed. I even used a larger needle.

      You might try a larger needle and during the increasing rounds, add a few more increasing rounds. Look at her pattern for adjustments

  • @HowToWithKristin
    @HowToWithKristin 9 лет назад +25

    I actually found this very confusing, I messed up a few times because the instructions were not clear. It kind of felt like you were explaining this to someone who already knew how to do it rather than someone who is trying to learn.

    • @ashleighkiss9413
      @ashleighkiss9413 9 лет назад +2

      Try this.... If this was your first hat ever that you were attempting to make... Search "crochet beginners hat" and select one the looks simple and easy... Then watch the video before you make it that way you can kind of figure out how it might work

      I agree, I had to redo the hat several times until I finally got it. And also, I stopped at 42 stitches width because 36 was too tight.

  • @stephaniejean9057
    @stephaniejean9057 8 лет назад +34

    your explanation needs work round three 2 double cr in one stitch then two side by side in there own stitch. I had to rewind and look 3 times before i could understand what you where trying to say. This is not my first but its strait forward if you could explain a little better.

    • @mdaze9753
      @mdaze9753 6 лет назад +5

      I agree. How difficult it is it to say 2 HDC in first stitch and ONE HDC in the NEXT three stitches instead of - 2 HDC and then 3 HDC. Rediculous.

      With you here! The explanation does not make sense and the video does not show what she is trying to explain at all.

    • @lillyfly
      @lillyfly 6 лет назад

      I was so confused as to where she was getting 18 from when she makes it sound like you’re only adding 2 st to the 12. It makes a lot more sense if she had just said do 2 HDC in the next three stitches. Meaning your actually doing 6 more to the 12 (and then you get 18).

    • @lifeiscrazy1314
      @lifeiscrazy1314 6 лет назад +6

      +Maira Ch I had the same problem, I started over about three times and ended up missing the first stitch, that was the only way I could make this work...but then I looked at the comments section and saw that the beanie is too small for an adult, so I'm giving up and disliking this video (and I very rarely dislike videos), it is a waste of time.

    • @mom4monkeys
      @mom4monkeys 7 лет назад +3

      I also am making this right now and it is very small. I believe she must have a small head. I will be adding more rows of puffs and maybe even adding on some puffs to make it more slouchy. This hat is definitely not big enough to even be a snugg beanie. I love he pattern though, so I'll definitely be using this as a base for more hats. 😊

    • @nichelleo.614
      @nichelleo.614 7 лет назад

      @nayjax849 7 лет назад

      +mom4monkeys lol omg I thought it was just me and my big head. I just stopped before the third row of decreases and it fits perfectly. I didn't actually want it too slouchy though. Idk, with that adjustment, mine fits perfectly 😆😆😆

    I was using the thickest wool yarn you can buy, so I modified the number of rows. Mine came out to be more of a slouchy beret than a beanie, but I love it! This tutorial was very easy to follow even for a beginner like me.

    I'm a beginner at crochet (this was my second pattern) and my first hat with this pattern took quite a while, lots of reworking stitches. But it's such a cute pattern, and a lot of fun once you get going, so I made two. I had to do some math and lots of try-ons to get the decreasing stitches just right. It's not impossible, just takes lots of patience and a little time. Thank you for sharing the video along with written instructions!

    I'm a beginner and made this hat twice. The first time it was very small so I let my six year old have it. I think it was a combo of maybe the hat being for a smaller head and my tight stitching. The second hat turned out so super awesome and is pretty slouchy. I used a size k hook, crocheted really loose, added one additional row of puff stitches.. to get the band tighter, I added one more row of sc decrease and at the end, added one more row of sc. Thanks for putting me in the right direction!
