Thanks for this, I substituted the DC on rows 7-12 for HDC and only increased to row 6. I started the ribbed band at row 13. Came out beautifully for a newborn.
Thank you very much for your comment, Its really great that you can use your own creativity to adjust the pattern to suit a newborn. I hope the hat brings lots of happiness to a sweet little baby😊❤
Hello, I’m using this method for a new born hat. On rows 7-12 When doing HDC am I still doing 2 crochets at the start. As my join is coming up uneven and not very neat. I was thinking maybe to do one will this be better? Thankyou x
Followed this tutorial all the way. The first time it was big when I used a 4.5mm hook (still new to this so figuring it all out), then frogged and tried again with a 3.5 and came out perfectly. I think it’s a bit bigger but being made for a 3-6 month old and planning to line it with fleece. Amazing tutorial though, very clear verbal and visual instructions! Also lowkey loved listening to her voice while following along, so soothing and calm while learning something new 😋
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 I’m so glad to hear that the tutorial worked well for you after adjusting the hook size. It sounds like you made some great choices for the 3-6 month size, and lining it with fleece will make it even cozier! I’m also really happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and found the instructions clear and soothing. Your feedback means a lot - keep up the amazing work, and happy crafting! 🧶💖
Tried this and then checked the comments when I was finished with the increases rounds… realized then it was gonna be an adult size lol my brother is having his third kid so I thought I’d make matching hats for each of his kids in different colors (and sizes since they’re all different ages!) so I started using a light baby pink and then sent him a photo when I finished saying “Well, I made the first prototype too big… I guess you’re gonna have to wear the baby pink one!” My nephew got a kick out of me making his big burly tattooed dad wear the baby pink bear hat hahaha I’m using a weight 4 yarn and a 3 mm hook right now and with tight tension it is coming out beautifully for the newborn! I’ll make the next two with two hook sizes bigger each for the 1 year old he already has and the 5 and a half year old. I’ll probably also add some more increase rounds for the 5 and a half year old. Thanks for the easy to follow video! My family is so excited to see them all in their baby bear hats together:)
That's such a heartwarming and funny story! It sounds like your improvised solution turned out to be a delightful surprise for your brother and nephew. Making matching hats for each of his kids in different colors and sizes is such a thoughtful and special idea. I'm glad to hear that you're adjusting the size and hook to fit each child's age, and it sounds like you've got a great plan in place. With your careful attention to detail and tight tension, I'm sure the hats will turn out beautifully for each of them. Your family's excitement to see them all in their baby bear hats together must be so heartening. Handmade gifts like these are truly special and carry so much love and thoughtfulness.

Thank you for the cute and instructive video/pattern. Mine ended up very much looking like a boater rather than a beanie, so I came back to see why my ribbing turned out looking more like a brim. I see now that I made double crochet instead of single crochet for the ribbing 😅 it’s still a cute hat, though, and I am thinking of adding rabbit ears instead of bear ears. Next time I will pay better attention, but for now I’ll just live and learn 😊
You're very welcome!🥰 I'm glad to hear that you found the video and pattern cute and instructive. It's all part of the learning process, and mistakes happen to the best of us! Your boater-style hat with double crochet ribbing sounds adorable, and adding rabbit ears sounds like a delightful idea. Living and learning is what crafting is all about, and I'm sure your next project will turn out beautifully. If you ever need any assistance or have questions along the way, don't hesitate to ask. Happy crafting, and enjoy creating your unique hats! 🐰🎩
if you are struggling with it being to big then start with less rows. for a 3.5 - 4 mm hook half it and start with 6 double crochet into loop instead of 12 and if your using a thicker yarn then start with 4 you do the rows in exactly the same order 😄❤️ i hope this helps
Thank you for sharing those helpful tips! That's a great way to adjust the pattern for those who might find it too big. I’m sure many will appreciate your advice! Happy crocheting! 😄❤️
I loved this pattern💖 At first my hat was turning out so big cus I was using a 3.5mm hook so I had to make a few adjustments, after I was done I even made pink inner ears for the hat, it turned out so cute💕
I’m so glad you loved the pattern! 💖 It sounds like you made some wonderful adjustments and added a cute touch with the pink inner ears. Great job on customizing it to make it even more special!💕 If you have any more creative ideas or need further help, feel free to reach out. Happy crocheting! 😊🧶

Hello, thank you for making such a lovely tutorial! I would like to use a light-weight cotton DK for this. I can’t find the weight of the yarn you’re using, is it DK? The yarn I have recommends a 4mm hook, but I use a 3mm on it for amogurumi and it works just fine, does this sound heavier or lighter than the yarn you used here? Or do you have measurements for how big yours came after a certain number of rows? Thank you!
Hi 🙂 I use #2 sport weight yarn for this one and a 3 mm crochet hook. If yiu use thicker yarn the hat will come out too big. I wish you the best of luck with your project❤

I’ve been looking for a crochet video. Yours is by far easiest to follow! Can’t wait to get started. Just had a quick question. I’ll be wanting to add ear flaps, will it work with this pattern?
Thank you very much for your kind words. I am thrilled to hear that you find my video easy to follow. Yes, you can easily vary the pattern in many different ways and make ear flaps or other animal ears on this hat. I think it will be really cute with ear flaps❤😊
Hi! I absolutely adore this pattern. Do you mind if I prepare to sell these in a crochet shop? Of course, I would give you all credit for the pattern, I would just feel bad selling them without explicit permission, and I don't see anything about that in the description
Hi! I’m so glad you adore the pattern! Feel free to sell the items made from this pattern in your crochet shop. I appreciate your consideration and the intent to give credit where it’s due. Just mention that the pattern is from AdoreCrea.com and that it’s used with permission. Best of luck with your shop, and happy crocheting! 🌟🧵💖
I love this pattern. Your turoria and written instructions are great. I was wondering if you could help me. I'm making the 0-3 month size but am unable to to obtain gauage with the yarn I'm using. I'm using measurements to make the beanie. I was wondering if you could tell me the measurement from the crown to where the ribbing starts. I'm trying to use yarn I have on hand instead of buying yarn. I'm just not sure how long the beanie should be before I start the ribbing. The grand baby hasn't arrived so I don't have a head to try it on.
Thank you very much for your comment. I am glad to hear that you like the pattern and my tutorial. This pattern is very easy to adjust to the desired size, regardless of which yarn you are using. All you need is a tape measure. The average newborn's head measures 13 3/4 in (35 cm) When cricle has these measurements around, do not make more increases. Continue crocheting the rest of the hat until the hat has a height of approx. 5 in (12.7cm) Then the ribbed edge is made. Best of luck with your project😊❤

It really depends on the thickness of your yarn and your gauge. If you're unsure about the size, you can consider adjusting the hook size or using a lighter weight yarn to make the item smaller.
Haha, I totally understand! 🥰 Back loops only can be tricky, but it sounds like you’re getting the hang of it this time! Just take it one stitch at a time, and you’ll conquer it. Keep up the great work! 💪🧶✨
Can someone tell me why my hat is coming out big enough for an adult???? I’ve done it 3 x using 4 mm in 3 ply yarn and 3 ply yarn 3 mm hook and 4 ply yarn with 3 mm hook. I understand this is probably European pattern but I look at written patterns and she is doing 0-3 months!! I would attach pics but it doesn’t allow
You are not using the recommended yarn for this pattern. The yarn you are using is too thick. You will find the list of materials in the written Pattern.
Thank you so much for your kind words❤😊 I'm glad you found the tutorial detailed and helpful. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Happy crafting! 😊🧶
I’m so glad to hear you loved the hat! Sometimes little variations like that can make it even more unique. If you want tips on adjusting the size for future projects, just let me know! Happy crocheting! 😊🎩
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but my work isn’t looking like a hat at all. It just gets bigger and bigger, without forming like a hat. I’ve tried multiple tutorials but don’t seem to get it right. Do you know what the problem could be? Beautiful results btw ❤
Thank You for your comment 🙂 The problem may be that you continue to make increases after row 7. From rows 8 - 14. do not make more increases. but simply continue to crochet one double crochet in each stitch. Good luck with the project😊
I think it has something to do with their yarn size and hook size. I haven’t increased at all from 8-14 but for newborn and 0-3 months, this type of hat and crochet usually stops increasing around rows 5-6 depending on stitch…
Thank you for this easy to follow video. The body of the hat I made is perfect and beautiful. However, the rim... Well... Not so much! I cannot seem to get the stitches consistent and honestly am so frustrated. It looks so ragged. Is there another stitch I could substitute so the rim can look as beautiful as the body of the hat? Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your feedback! I'm so glad to hear the body of your hat turned out beautifully. For the rib, I suggest trying a simple single crochet or half double crochet stitch, which can give a more consistent and neat finish. Keep practicing, and don’t get discouraged-consistency comes with time. If you need more help, feel free to reach out. You’ve got this! 😊
Yes, that's right! In the first round, you’ll have 12 double crochets plus the one made with the chaining. But this chain 2 does not count as a stitch and will not be worked into. If you have any more questions or need clarification, feel free to ask! Happy crocheting! 😊✨
That’s adorable! 🥰 It sounds like you’ve created a cute hat for your little one! If you’d like to adjust the size for future projects, you might try a smaller hook. If you have any questions or need tips, feel free to ask! Happy crocheting! 🧶❤️
Hi there😊. It is always very important to check whether the gauge matches the pattern, especially when making clothes and accessories for babies. However, you can easily adjust this pattern to suit your yarn. Step 1. Get a measurement chart online with head circumference on babies or measure the little one's head yourself if you can. Step 2. Unravel and crochet the round circle until it matches the desired head circumference. Measure with a tape measure around the circle. Step 3. Continue the other rounds without increases. Only make the number of rounds that is appropriate for the height of the hat. Best of luck with your project❤
It sounds like there might be a little mix-up with your increases! When you're increasing from 12 to 24 stitches, you should be placing 2 double crochet (dc) stitches in each of the12 stitches to make 24. If you're ending up with 32 stitches, you might be accidentally increasing more stitches twice. Here’s a tip: double-check that you’re only placing 2 dc in each stitch, not more than that, and keep track of your stitch count as you go. You could also try using a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round to help keep track. Let me know if you'd like more guidance-you're doing great! 😊
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoy my crochet videos. As for the bunny ear pattern for a boy, I'd be happy to help. Do you have a specific type of bunny ear in mind or any particular size requirements? Let me know and I'll see if I can make a video on that one day. 🙂
@@AdoreCreaCrochet - 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit. I would love to use your "baby bear hat" pattern with bunny ears to make gifts for babies, etc. With your talent, could you design a floppy bunny ears to go with the your baby hat pattern. Being the "Year of the Rabbit" many of my crochet friends will probably be using your video to make "baby bunny hat", also. Thank you!

You’re doing great! Working in back loop only with fluffy yarn can definitely be a challenge, but it sounds like you’re pushing through. Just take it one stitch at a time! You’ve got this! 💪✨
I think it is possible that you have too many stitches in the fourth round. Otherwise, it should not curl, as long as you keep the same crochet tension/gauge. ❤
Sure! For a 12-18 month old baby boy, the typical hat size is about 18-19 inches in circumference. If you have any more questions or need help with the pattern, just let me know! Happy crafting! 🎩✨
your instructions for the ears assumed your followers were experienced crocheters therefore were not very detailed,, you did not instruct to leave a long tail for sewing the ear to the hat and what to do with the second tail or which tail to use. no instructions on placement of the ear to the hat. I was very disappointed in this area of the tutorial.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it turns out flat until the round of all 1-dc :( any ideas? I'm really following this step by step and it looks like a tablecloth, not a hat :( I'm a total beginner so it's obvious I'm making some mistake but I really think I'm following instructions closely :(
interesting - just started over with a different yarn and now it's fine haha. But seriously I have no idea what I might have done incorrectly the first time!
I'm sorry to hear that you're facing difficulties with your project. Don't worry-I'm here to help! When making a hat, the initial rounds should create a circular shape. If it's turning out flat, a few common issues could be at play. Let's troubleshoot: Stitch Count: Ensure that you are maintaining the correct stitch count in each round. Sometimes, unintentional increases or decreases can affect the shape. Increasing Rounds: Make sure you're placing the correct number of stitches in each increase space. Pattern Instructions: Review the pattern instructions. Make sure you're following each step carefully. Yarn and Hook Size: Ensure that you're using the recommended yarn weight and hook size for the pattern. Using a larger hook or thicker yarn can result in a looser fabric. Remember, everyone makes mistakes as a beginner, and it's all part of the learning process. 😊🧶
@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you so much for such a detailed reply!! I'll make sure to recount the stitches in that "flat hat" (I still have it), I have a suspicion that I either messed up the stitch count or maybe I made the same row twice by accident. Really great tutorial by the way, thank you :)!
Hi 🙂 There are a few common mistakes that might have contributed to the sizing issue. Here are some possibilities and suggestions for improvement: Gauge Issues: Check your gauge: Make sure you are using the correct yarn weight and hook size as specified in the pattern. If your stitches are too loose, it can result in a larger finished product. Tension Control: Pay attention to your tension: Consistent tension is crucial in crochet. If your tension varies throughout the project, it can lead to uneven sizing. Practice maintaining a consistent tension while crocheting. Pattern Accuracy: Review the pattern: Double-check that you followed the pattern instructions correctly, especially when it comes to stitch counts and increases or decreases. Small errors in counting or following the pattern can lead to sizing issues. Yarn Choice: Ensure the yarn weight is appropriate: If you substituted the yarn suggested in the pattern, make sure the new yarn has a similar weight and thickness. Using a bulkier yarn can result in a larger finished item. Measuring as You Go: Measure your work frequently: Periodically check the circumference and height of the hat as you crochet. This can help you catch sizing issues early on and make adjustments if needed. Adjusting the Pattern: Modify the pattern: If you are experienced in crochet, you can make adjustments to the pattern by decreasing the number of stitches or rows to achieve the desired size. Keep in mind that altering the pattern may require some trial and error. Blocking: Blocking: Some projects benefit from blocking, which can help shape and size the final piece. However, blocking might not be as effective for significant size corrections. Learning from the Mistake: Take notes for next time: If you identify the specific step where the sizing issue occurred, make a note for future projects. Learning from mistakes is a valuable part of improving your crochet skills. Remember, it's not uncommon for projects to require some adjustments, especially when you're learning. Analyzing what went wrong and making changes for the next project is part of the creative process. If you have specific details about the pattern and your process, I might be able to provide more targeted advice.
The beginning of this process I totally thought I was making the “bear ear” of the beanie until I realize she keeps going and going with the same pattern I’m like hold on this is a huge “bear” ear 😂 Come to find out it was the portion of the beanie that goes on the actual head not the ear
Haha, I love this! 😄 I can totally see how that would be confusing at first. I’m so glad you stuck with it, though! Sounds like you’re on the right track now. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing your fun experience! 🐻🧶✨
It's possible that the gauge of your crochet stitches is looser than in the pattern. Gauge refers to the number of stitches and rows per inch in your work, and it can be affected by factors such as the type of yarn, the size of your crochet hook, and your tension while crocheting. If your gauge is looser, your stitches will be bigger and your finished project will be larger. To fix this, you can try going down a hook size or adjusting your tension to make your stitches tighter. Another possibility is that you used a different weight of yarn, which could also affect the size of your finished project. Make sure you're using the same weight of yarn as specified in the pattern and check the yarn label for information on gauge and recommended hook size. I hope this all helped🙂
You're very welcome! 🌹✨ If you have any more questions or if there's anything else I can help you with in your crocheting journey, feel free to reach out. Happy crocheting, and may your projects be filled with joy and creativity! 🧶💖✨
I'm sorry to hear that your crochet hat didn't turn out as expected and looks like an acorn. Don't worry; mistakes happen to the best of us, and it's all part of the learning process in crochet. Here are a few steps you can take to improve your hat and make it look the way you want: Identify the Issue: Try to pinpoint what went wrong with your hat. Is it too small, too pointy, or not shaping correctly? Check the Pattern: Review the pattern for the hat. Make sure you followed the instructions accurately, including the stitch counts, increases, and decreases. Yarn and Hook Size: Ensure that you used the right yarn and hook size recommended in the pattern. Using a different yarn or hook size can significantly impact the final result. Gauge: Pay attention to your gauge, which is the number of stitches and rows per inch. If your gauge doesn't match the pattern's gauge, your hat's size and shape may be affected. Frogging: If your hat is seriously off, consider unraveling (frogging) your work back to a point where it was correct, and then re-start from there. Additional Rounds: You may need to add more rounds to shape your hat correctly. Follow the pattern's instructions for increasing or decreasing to achieve the desired shape. Blocking: Blocking can help reshape your crochet work. Wet the hat and then shape it to the desired form, pin it in place, and let it dry. Remember, in the world of crochet, even a project that doesn't go as planned can offer valuable learning experiences. Don't be discouraged. With a bit of adjustment and practice, you can turn your acorn hat into a beautiful finished project. Happy crocheting!🧶😊
@callis9283 were you able to figure out the issue? I’m in a similar situation where all appears correct with exception to the ribbing part being to big or almost like a bucket hat. I’m wondering if, when I’m attaching those rows to the hat if I need to be starting the slip stick over further than I am?
Figured it out and it turns out I was right and was attaching the ribbing with the slip stitches in the wrong two spots. I was using the spot right under the rib row thinking it was the first stitch but you actually need to go further to the left and do those next two stitches. Came out perfect and is faster too because you’re filling less stitches that way.
It's completely normal to encounter challenges, especially when learning something new like crochet. Don't worry-mistakes are a natural part of the process! If you're comfortable sharing more details about where you're running into difficulties, I'd be happy to help troubleshoot or offer some tips. Remember, practice makes perfect, and every mistake is an opportunity to learn and improve. Keep going, and you'll get the hang of it! 😊🧶

Thanks for this, I substituted the DC on rows 7-12 for HDC and only increased to row 6. I started the ribbed band at row 13. Came out beautifully for a newborn.
Thank you very much for your comment, Its really great that you can use your own creativity to adjust the pattern to suit a newborn. I hope the hat brings lots of happiness to a sweet little baby😊❤
i wish i had checked the comment section first before trying. i followed the pattern in the video to the T and it looks too big for a newborn
Hello, I’m using this method for a new born hat. On rows 7-12 When doing HDC am I still doing 2 crochets at the start. As my join is coming up uneven and not very neat. I was thinking maybe to do one will this be better? Thankyou x
are you us in a 3mm? I am using a 3.5 and this method at stopping inc at row 6 and HDC 7-12.. i’m afraid it will be too big for 0-3m
@@PuffPuffCrochetit is for 3mm. I was making this for my newborn nephew luckily he has a big brother and they can match when I remake this😂
Followed this tutorial all the way. The first time it was big when I used a 4.5mm hook (still new to this so figuring it all out), then frogged and tried again with a 3.5 and came out perfectly. I think it’s a bit bigger but being made for a 3-6 month old and planning to line it with fleece. Amazing tutorial though, very clear verbal and visual instructions!

Tried this and then checked the comments when I was finished with the increases rounds… realized then it was gonna be an adult size lol my brother is having his third kid so I thought I’d make matching hats for each of his kids in different colors (and sizes since they’re all different ages!) so I started using a light baby pink and then sent him a photo when I finished saying “Well, I made the first prototype too big… I guess you’re gonna have to wear the baby pink one!” My nephew got a kick out of me making his big burly tattooed dad wear the baby pink bear hat hahaha I’m using a weight 4 yarn and a 3 mm hook right now and with tight tension it is coming out beautifully for the newborn! I’ll make the next two with two hook sizes bigger each for the 1 year old he already has and the 5 and a half year old. I’ll probably also add some more increase rounds for the 5 and a half year old. Thanks for the easy to follow video! My family is so excited to see them all in their baby bear hats together:)

Thank you for the cute and instructive video/pattern. Mine ended up very much looking like a boater rather than a beanie, so I came back to see why my ribbing turned out looking more like a brim. I see now that I made double crochet instead of single crochet for the ribbing 😅 it’s still a cute hat, though, and I am thinking of adding rabbit ears instead of bear ears. Next time I will pay better attention, but for now I’ll just live and learn 😊

if you are struggling with it being to big then start with less rows. for a 3.5 - 4 mm hook half it and start with 6 double crochet into loop instead of 12 and if your using a thicker yarn then start with 4 you do the rows in exactly the same order 😄❤️ i hope this helps
Thank you for sharing those helpful tips! That's a great way to adjust the pattern for those who might find it too big. I’m sure many will appreciate your advice! Happy crocheting! 😄❤️
I loved this pattern💖
At first my hat was turning out so big cus I was using a 3.5mm hook so I had to make a few adjustments, after I was done I even made pink inner ears for the hat, it turned out so cute💕
I’m so glad you loved the pattern! 💖 It sounds like you made some wonderful adjustments and added a cute touch with the pink inner ears. Great job on customizing it to make it even more special!💕 If you have any more creative ideas or need further help, feel free to reach out. Happy crocheting! 😊🧶
First I'd like to say, that is a very beautiful baby modeling the bear hat. I love the tutorial very much and hope you continue to make more tutorials. I can learn a lot from the explanations to create. Some people just play music and expect one to learn without demonstrations, that's not fair. I may have some type of disability so this way of teaching works for me. Please keep it up.
Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback! I´m delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tutorial and found it helpful. It's wonderful to know that the detailed explanations and demonstrations are effective for your learning style. I really appreciate your encouragement and will definitely keep creating more tutorials to help you and others learn and create. Your support means a lot to me, and I´m here to assist you every step of the way. If you ever have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out. Happy crafting, and keep up the fantastic work!❤😊

Hello, thank you for making such a lovely tutorial! I would like to use a light-weight cotton DK for this. I can’t find the weight of the yarn you’re using, is it DK?
The yarn I have recommends a 4mm hook, but I use a 3mm on it for amogurumi and it works just fine, does this sound heavier or lighter than the yarn you used here? Or do you have measurements for how big yours came after a certain number of rows? Thank you!
Hi 🙂 I use #2 sport weight yarn for this one and a 3 mm crochet hook. If yiu use thicker yarn the hat will come out too big. I wish you the best of luck with your project❤
hiii i am a big fan of you thanks to you i know how to crochet!!!!!!!!!!!♥♥♥

I’ve been looking for a crochet video. Yours is by far easiest to follow! Can’t wait to get started. Just had a quick question. I’ll be wanting to add ear flaps, will it work with this pattern?
Thank you very much for your kind words. I am thrilled to hear that you find my video easy to follow. Yes, you can easily vary the pattern in many different ways and make ear flaps or other animal ears on this hat. I think it will be really cute with ear flaps❤😊
Yes she's amazing ,and the only person I can follow as she suits my needs ,
Hi! I absolutely adore this pattern. Do you mind if I prepare to sell these in a crochet shop? Of course, I would give you all credit for the pattern, I would just feel bad selling them without explicit permission, and I don't see anything about that in the description
Hi! I’m so glad you adore the pattern! Feel free to sell the items made from this pattern in your crochet shop. I appreciate your consideration and the intent to give credit where it’s due. Just mention that the pattern is from AdoreCrea.com and that it’s used with permission. Best of luck with your shop, and happy crocheting! 🌟🧵💖
I love this pattern. Your turoria and written instructions are great. I was wondering if you could help me. I'm making the 0-3 month size but am unable to to obtain gauage with the yarn I'm using. I'm using measurements to make the beanie. I was wondering if you could tell me the measurement from the crown to where the ribbing starts. I'm trying to use yarn I have on hand instead of buying yarn. I'm just not sure how long the beanie should be before I start the ribbing. The grand baby hasn't arrived so I don't have a head to try it on.
Thank you very much for your comment. I am glad to hear that you like the pattern and my tutorial. This pattern is very easy to adjust to the desired size, regardless of which yarn you are using. All you need is a tape measure. The average newborn's head measures 13 3/4 in (35 cm)
When cricle has these measurements around, do not make more increases. Continue crocheting the rest of the hat until the hat has a height of approx. 5 in (12.7cm) Then the ribbed edge is made.
Best of luck with your project😊❤

Does this fit a newborn baby or should i decrease the size?
It really depends on the thickness of your yarn and your gauge. If you're unsure about the size, you can consider adjusting the hook size or using a lighter weight yarn to make the item smaller.
Aaaaaah BACK LOOPS ONLY, my nemesis! I am managing well though this time :)
Haha, I totally understand! 🥰 Back loops only can be tricky, but it sounds like you’re getting the hang of it this time! Just take it one stitch at a time, and you’ll conquer it. Keep up the great work! 💪🧶✨
Grazie Marie, proverò a farlo sicuramente 👍
Prego. Spero che ne sarai felice ☺🌺❤
Can someone tell me why my hat is coming out big enough for an adult???? I’ve done it 3 x using 4 mm in 3 ply yarn and 3 ply yarn 3 mm hook and 4 ply yarn with 3 mm hook. I understand this is probably European pattern but I look at written patterns and she is doing 0-3 months!! I would attach pics but it doesn’t allow
You are not using the recommended yarn for this pattern. The yarn you are using is too thick. You will find the list of materials in the written Pattern.
@@AdoreCreaCrochet I didn’t see a yarn size in the pattern. I’m using baby yarn 3 ply light . What size are you using that is comparable in America?
American standard is a 2 weight yarn which is a sport yarn. I had to go look it up. Which I personally don't have on had
Same thing happened to me, large enough for 1yr old.
I just wasted so much yarn. About to pull apart and cake the yarn because I didn’t know it had to be a specific yarn. 😭
Great detailed tutorial
Thank you so much for your kind words❤😊 I'm glad you found the tutorial detailed and helpful. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Happy crafting! 😊🧶
Mine came out a little more wider but other than that I love the hat and it came out amazing
I’m so glad to hear you loved the hat! Sometimes little variations like that can make it even more unique. If you want tips on adjusting the size for future projects, just let me know! Happy crocheting! 😊🎩
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but my work isn’t looking like a hat at all. It just gets bigger and bigger, without forming like a hat. I’ve tried multiple tutorials but don’t seem to get it right. Do you know what the problem could be? Beautiful results btw ❤
Thank You for your comment 🙂 The problem may be that you continue to make increases after row 7. From rows 8 - 14. do not make more increases. but simply continue to crochet one double crochet in each stitch. Good luck with the project😊
yeah same :(
@@Reresization It might help to read the written instructions. 🙂adorecrea.com/crochet-baby-bear-hat/
I think it has something to do with their yarn size and hook size. I haven’t increased at all from 8-14 but for newborn and 0-3 months, this type of hat and crochet usually stops increasing around rows 5-6 depending on stitch…
Yes mine too! Yet followed exactly 💚
Thank you 🇨🇦
You are welcome🥰
Can 6 months old baby use the same size of this beanie?
This one is for 0-3 months old baby, but the size will depend on the thickness of your yarn and tension. Best of luch with your project.🙂
So cute! thank you! I'm going to make one for my nephew. 🥰
How nice to hear. Thank You! I hope he will be happy with it🙂❤
Thank you same to you.
🥰
Thank you for this easy to follow video. The body of the hat I made is perfect and beautiful. However, the rim... Well... Not so much! I cannot seem to get the stitches consistent and honestly am so frustrated. It looks so ragged. Is there another stitch I could substitute so the rim can look as beautiful as the body of the hat? Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your feedback! I'm so glad to hear the body of your hat turned out beautifully. For the rib, I suggest trying a simple single crochet or half double crochet stitch, which can give a more consistent and neat finish. Keep practicing, and don’t get discouraged-consistency comes with time. If you need more help, feel free to reach out. You’ve got this! 😊
@@AdoreCreaCrochet thanks for this suggestion, I was also struggling with the rib. How many rows of half double crochets would we have to do? 7?
In the first round it’s 12 double crochets+ the one we made with chaining?
I just read your pattern. So there will be 13 stitches total in that first round technically?
Yes, that's right! In the first round, you’ll have 12 double crochets plus the one made with the chaining. But this chain 2 does not count as a stitch and will not be worked into. If you have any more questions or need clarification, feel free to ask! Happy crocheting! 😊✨
Can i use dk acrylic yarn
You can but the hat will turn out much biggger. I used drops baby merino for this hat, it is 5 ply / sport
Weight/length: 50 g = approx 175 m.
@@AdoreCreaCrochet ok. Thnks im from South africa is there perhaps any other substitute
Is this for a 7 month old?
This is for a baby between 0-3 months, but the size depends on the yarn you are using. The written pattern comes in multible sizes.
Hello. Is the yarn the same as 8/6 yarn or 8/8 yarn? Hope you can respond to me fast❤
No this yarn is much thinner. I is sport weight yarn suitable for 3 mm. Hook.
I used a 3.5 mm crochet hook and my hat fits my 5 month old baby 😂 so my hat is bigger too.
That’s adorable! 🥰 It sounds like you’ve created a cute hat for your little one! If you’d like to adjust the size for future projects, you might try a smaller hook. If you have any questions or need tips, feel free to ask! Happy crocheting! 🧶❤️
@@AdoreCreaCrochet Thank you very much 😊
Nice, I love it, thank you so much for sharing
Thank you very much. Im so glad to hwar thst you liked my Tutorial. 🥰❤️

Thank you🥰
My yarn was a bit fluffy and the circle became huge and wasn't looking like your one , now what should I do now ?
Hi there😊. It is always very important to check whether the gauge matches the pattern, especially when making clothes and accessories for babies. However, you can easily adjust this pattern to suit your yarn.
Step 1. Get a measurement chart online with head circumference on babies or measure the little one's head yourself if you can.
Step 2. Unravel and crochet the round circle until it matches the desired head circumference. Measure with a tape measure around the circle.
Step 3. Continue the other rounds without increases. Only make the number of rounds that is appropriate for the height of the hat.
Best of luck with your project❤
For some reason when we start with 12 stitches and increase to 24, im putting 2 dc in each stich but i some how end up with like 32
It sounds like there might be a little mix-up with your increases! When you're increasing from 12 to 24 stitches, you should be placing 2 double crochet (dc) stitches in each of the12 stitches to make 24. If you're ending up with 32 stitches, you might be accidentally increasing more stitches twice.
Here’s a tip: double-check that you’re only placing 2 dc in each stitch, not more than that, and keep track of your stitch count as you go. You could also try using a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round to help keep track.
Let me know if you'd like more guidance-you're doing great! 😊
Bel lavoro Marie 👌
Thank You😊 You are so nice🥰
Thank for your for all the hard work you put into your crochet videos. Could you add instructions for a bunny ear for a boy? Much appreciated!

Doing BLO with my extra fluffy yarn is so hard 💀 I’m getting through it tho
You’re doing great! Working in back loop only with fluffy yarn can definitely be a challenge, but it sounds like you’re pushing through. Just take it one stitch at a time! You’ve got this! 💪✨
Why i did row 4 and it stared to curls its not straight like yours is it worng should i start over or is it okay?
Please reply thanks😢
I think it is possible that you have too many stitches in the fourth round. Otherwise, it should not curl, as long as you keep the same crochet tension/gauge. ❤
@@AdoreCreaCrochet i counted the stiches and its way under 96 stiches could it be beacause i have a 3,5 hook?
Ma'am can you plz tell me the size for 12 - 18 months old baby boy...??
Sure! For a 12-18 month old baby boy, the typical hat size is about 18-19 inches in circumference. If you have any more questions or need help with the pattern, just let me know! Happy crafting! 🎩✨
Thx ma'am for the quick reply... bt yes I don't understand that how can I start... plz can u share me the pattern of this...
your instructions for the ears assumed your followers were experienced crocheters therefore were not very detailed,, you did not instruct to leave a long tail for sewing the ear to the hat and what to do with the second tail or which tail to use. no instructions on placement of the ear to the hat. I was very disappointed in this area of the tutorial.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Have a good day 🤗
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it turns out flat until the round of all 1-dc :( any ideas? I'm really following this step by step and it looks like a tablecloth, not a hat :( I'm a total beginner so it's obvious I'm making some mistake but I really think I'm following instructions closely :(
interesting - just started over with a different yarn and now it's fine haha. But seriously I have no idea what I might have done incorrectly the first time!
I'm sorry to hear that you're facing difficulties with your project. Don't worry-I'm here to help! When making a hat, the initial rounds should create a circular shape. If it's turning out flat, a few common issues could be at play. Let's troubleshoot:
Stitch Count:
Ensure that you are maintaining the correct stitch count in each round. Sometimes, unintentional increases or decreases can affect the shape.
Increasing Rounds:
Make sure you're placing the correct number of stitches in each increase space.
Pattern Instructions:
Review the pattern instructions. Make sure you're following each step carefully.
Yarn and Hook Size:
Ensure that you're using the recommended yarn weight and hook size for the pattern. Using a larger hook or thicker yarn can result in a looser fabric.
Remember, everyone makes mistakes as a beginner, and it's all part of the learning process. 😊🧶
That´s great to hear🙂
@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you so much for such a detailed reply!! I'll make sure to recount the stitches in that "flat hat" (I still have it), I have a suspicion that I either messed up the stitch count or maybe I made the same row twice by accident. Really great tutorial by the way, thank you :)!
Mine was way too big
What do you think i did wrong?
Hi 🙂
There are a few common mistakes that might have contributed to the sizing issue. Here are some possibilities and suggestions for improvement:
Gauge Issues: Check your gauge: Make sure you are using the correct yarn weight and hook size as specified in the pattern. If your stitches are too loose, it can result in a larger finished product.
Tension Control: Pay attention to your tension: Consistent tension is crucial in crochet. If your tension varies throughout the project, it can lead to uneven sizing. Practice maintaining a consistent tension while crocheting.
Pattern Accuracy: Review the pattern: Double-check that you followed the pattern instructions correctly, especially when it comes to stitch counts and increases or decreases. Small errors in counting or following the pattern can lead to sizing issues.
Yarn Choice: Ensure the yarn weight is appropriate: If you substituted the yarn suggested in the pattern, make sure the new yarn has a similar weight and thickness. Using a bulkier yarn can result in a larger finished item.
Measuring as You Go: Measure your work frequently: Periodically check the circumference and height of the hat as you crochet. This can help you catch sizing issues early on and make adjustments if needed.
Adjusting the Pattern: Modify the pattern: If you are experienced in crochet, you can make adjustments to the pattern by decreasing the number of stitches or rows to achieve the desired size. Keep in mind that altering the pattern may require some trial and error.
Blocking:
Blocking: Some projects benefit from blocking, which can help shape and size the final piece. However, blocking might not be as effective for significant size corrections.
Learning from the Mistake: Take notes for next time: If you identify the specific step where the sizing issue occurred, make a note for future projects. Learning from mistakes is a valuable part of improving your crochet skills.
Remember, it's not uncommon for projects to require some adjustments, especially when you're learning. Analyzing what went wrong and making changes for the next project is part of the creative process. If you have specific details about the pattern and your process, I might be able to provide more targeted advice.
Wow thank you so much, it really helped
The beginning of this process I totally thought I was making the “bear ear” of the beanie until I realize she keeps going and going with the same pattern
I’m like hold on this is a huge “bear” ear 😂
Come to find out it was the portion of the beanie that goes on the actual head not the ear
Haha, I love this! 😄 I can totally see how that would be confusing at first.
I’m so glad you stuck with it, though! Sounds like you’re on the right track now. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing your fun experience! 🐻🧶✨
I’ve followed exactly yet way too big 💚 what’s happening ?
It's possible that the gauge of your crochet stitches is looser than in the pattern. Gauge refers to the number of stitches and rows per inch in your work, and it can be affected by factors such as the type of yarn, the size of your crochet hook, and your tension while crocheting.
If your gauge is looser, your stitches will be bigger and your finished project will be larger. To fix this, you can try going down a hook size or adjusting your tension to make your stitches tighter.
Another possibility is that you used a different weight of yarn, which could also affect the size of your finished project. Make sure you're using the same weight of yarn as specified in the pattern and check the yarn label for information on gauge and recommended hook size. I hope this all helped🙂
Thanks beautiful blessing 🧶🌹

My hat looks like an acorn. Please help...
I'm sorry to hear that your crochet hat didn't turn out as expected and looks like an acorn. Don't worry; mistakes happen to the best of us, and it's all part of the learning process in crochet. Here are a few steps you can take to improve your hat and make it look the way you want:
Identify the Issue: Try to pinpoint what went wrong with your hat. Is it too small, too pointy, or not shaping correctly?
Check the Pattern: Review the pattern for the hat. Make sure you followed the instructions accurately, including the stitch counts, increases, and decreases.
Yarn and Hook Size: Ensure that you used the right yarn and hook size recommended in the pattern. Using a different yarn or hook size can significantly impact the final result.
Gauge: Pay attention to your gauge, which is the number of stitches and rows per inch. If your gauge doesn't match the pattern's gauge, your hat's size and shape may be affected.
Frogging: If your hat is seriously off, consider unraveling (frogging) your work back to a point where it was correct, and then re-start from there.
Additional Rounds: You may need to add more rounds to shape your hat correctly. Follow the pattern's instructions for increasing or decreasing to achieve the desired shape.
Blocking: Blocking can help reshape your crochet work. Wet the hat and then shape it to the desired form, pin it in place, and let it dry.
Remember, in the world of crochet, even a project that doesn't go as planned can offer valuable learning experiences. Don't be discouraged. With a bit of adjustment and practice, you can turn your acorn hat into a beautiful finished project. Happy crocheting!🧶😊
@callis9283 were you able to figure out the issue? I’m in a similar situation where all appears correct with exception to the ribbing part being to big or almost like a bucket hat. I’m wondering if, when I’m attaching those rows to the hat if I need to be starting the slip stick over further than I am?
Figured it out and it turns out I was right and was attaching the ribbing with the slip stitches in the wrong two spots. I was using the spot right under the rib row thinking it was the first stitch but you actually need to go further to the left and do those next two stitches. Came out perfect and is faster too because you’re filling less stitches that way.
i.. always messs up
It's completely normal to encounter challenges, especially when learning something new like crochet. Don't worry-mistakes are a natural part of the process! If you're comfortable sharing more details about where you're running into difficulties, I'd be happy to help troubleshoot or offer some tips. Remember, practice makes perfect, and every mistake is an opportunity to learn and improve. Keep going, and you'll get the hang of it! 😊🧶

There are English subtitles in this video, if this is what you mean.
This is a ridiculous pattern. It's huge. You would never need 7 rows of increase for a newborn head
