I made this as a full beanie hat and it turned out beautifully! I used a chunky yarn and 60 stitches. Thank you for teaching this stitch in your great tutorial.
Very good instructions . I understood all of it. Been crocheting since I was 12 and I'm sixty now. There are some people who don't give good instructions. But you did! Thanks
I have listened to many messy bun hat tutorials. I liked your tutorial the best so far. I also liked the variations you gave to try at the end. i have 11 grandchildren and they all want one of these. It will be nice to make a different one for each one of them. Thanks so much. I look forward to watching more of your tutorials in the future.
This was the easiest tutorial I've ever seen! Absolutely amazing! I'm stunned that my hat turned out, because I'm not very good, but she went slow enough and showed every Stitch's instructions thoroughly! Thank you so much!!
Hi. Thank you for your clear and wonderful video. I finally have made my first messy bun beanie... for my son's girlfriend.. Again, thank you so much. I love your videos and the way you explain how to do your projects.
Thank you for such a great tutorial! You went slow enough that it was easy to watch exactly what you were doing and replicate. I have made two of these for gifts, and have more people asking fire their own.
Just finished making this - your tutorial was great and easy to follow for a newbie like myself! Thank you very much, I look forward to learning more!!
I absolutely love your video and completed my first messy bun hat using your video and regular 100% acrylic yarn. I love the waffle stitch and intend to use it on my second messy bun hat. My first hat was made with a "cherrycola" colored yarn and my next one will be a pink camo colored yarn. Thank you for explaining this pattern so well. Your video shows and explains each stitch every step of the way.
Thank you very much, Dorothy! :) :) I'd love to see your messy buns, you can post them in my fb page if you'd like!! :D :D facebook.com/Kiki-Crochet-345137788901679/
I like alot of the messy bun hats but don't have long hair so I will close the top. Will it makes a big difference on how it will come out if I do that?
Hello, Philomena! No, it' will not make a big differnce. Before you start making your decrease in the end, make sure that the hat is one or two centimeters shorter than the total length the you prefer it, then start making the row with decrease, then make a row with on sc in every st, then work another row where you crochet together 2 sc everytime, then a row with one sc in every st and keep doing that up until the top closes up, if you're left with 4 or 6 st in the end just sew it to close it up.
Hello, Deb! In order to make a regular beanie, keep working the waffle stitch up until you reach 21cm. Then, to start working decreases, see how I just crochet on every front post double crochet? You're going to do that, but you're going to be working 2 stitches together, and instead of having 24dc in the row of decreases as I did, you're going to have 12, then work a row of sc with one st in every st, the work a row of sc decreases where you crochet two sc together. Now you'll have 6st left, sew the rest of it to close up the hole, and you can add a pom pom if you'd like in the end!
Hello, Martha. I'd say that you can use any yarn that you prefer, although the thicker the yarn is, you'll have a better result of the waffle stitch. The yarn I'm using has wool in it as well.
You mean the way I have the thread between my fingers on the left hand, or the way I use the crochet hook?? My grandmother was my teacher when I was young, she was very clear that this way would be the one that would help work my projects easier and with less stress on my hands and fingers. Never changed it ever since!! :D
It depends on how you crochet. If you turn your work in every row to work on the opposite direction, it's on the left, if you work in the round without turning your work, then it's on the right. ❤
Καλησπέρα από Ναύπακτο! Θα ήθελα να μου πεις πως θα τελείωνα τον σκούφο λίγο διαφορετικά γιατί δεν μου αρέσει το αποτέλεσμα στο πίσω μέρος. Μου μοιάζει σαν πιατάκι του καφέ!χχχχαχχα! Είμαι στο σημείο που αρχισες μονο τα front posts για μείωση. Τί διαφορετικό θα μπορουσα να κάνω? Επισης το κασκόλ που θα πλεξω να το κανω με το ίδιο βελονάκι? Χρησιμοποίησα Νο 6.Σε ζάλισα!
Καλημερα, Ντινα! Δυστυχως δεν εχω καποιο αλλο τροπο να κλεισεις το πλεκτο, ετσι πρεπει να γινουν οι μειωσεις για να συνεχισει να φαινεται το σχεδιο. Αυτο που θα μπορουσες να κανεις ειναι μειωσεις με αριχτα αλλα κατα τη γνωμη μου δεν θα ηταν καθολου ομορφο, γιατι ενω μεχρι ενος σημειου θα φαινοταν η πλεξη βαφλα, μετα θα φαινοταν οτι ισιωνει απο πισω. Οσο για το κασκολ, μπορεις να το πλεξεις κι αυτο με 6 νουμερο, ναι! :)
I'd say that's it's between medium weight and bulky, because although I made it with a 5mm crochet hook, you can work it with a 6mm as well. Hope I helped!
Hello, Margaret! Make the band (the first part) about 5cm smaller than the kids head circumferance, but make sure you have the correct amount of stitches for the multiple, so the waffle stitch is going to be created correctly in the next rows. Then to close it up, start working your decrease row at about 3cm before the hats total length.

beautiful hat, I will have to say I have never seen anyone hold their hook like you do, very interesting way to hold it :)
Thank you very much!! My grandmother had taught me to crochet this way! It really helps your fingers not to hurt if you crochet for many hours! :D
I am going to make this hat. I hope you never delete this video. It is timely. Thank You from Diane King.
Very good turorial. I am learning from everyone..
Thank you very much! :D
Beautiful pattern!
Thank you! :D
I made this and I love it!
Thanks!!!
I love the pattern...what would the measurements be to fit a child?
I would love this pattern for a 8 yr old child as well. Did you happened to figure it out???
I made one to my surprise because I am just learning. I did have to rip out a few times to get the count right!
I'm glad you finally got it work out!!! :D
Love this hat
Thank you! :D
Thank you. I'll give it a go.
Solve this hat. So pretty ,I'm trying too make it out of two different color yards
Thank you! Is it working out nicely with the 2 different yarns?
Love to see it on
Thank you! :D

Hi Kiki, If I wanted to make this a regular beanie, not a messy bun one, how would I do the top so it's closed?
Hello, Deb! In order to make a regular beanie, keep working the waffle stitch up until you reach 21cm. Then, to start working decreases, see how I just crochet on every front post double crochet? You're going to do that, but you're going to be working 2 stitches together, and instead of having 24dc in the row of decreases as I did, you're going to have 12, then work a row of sc with one st in every st, the work a row of sc decreases where you crochet two sc together. Now you'll have 6st left, sew the rest of it to close up the hole, and you can add a pom pom if you'd like in the end!
Thank you!
Can you explain what you mean by working 2 stitches together?
Can a regular -ply yarn be used as a substitute for the yarn you are using? If not the 4-ply substitute, can a wool blend be okay?
Hello, Martha. I'd say that you can use any yarn that you prefer, although the thicker the yarn is, you'll have a better result of the waffle stitch. The yarn I'm using has wool in it as well.
OK thank U KiKi
Very good
Thank you! :D
love it, where can I get this yarn?
Thank you very much! I buy this yarn here, from Greece, I don't know if the store shipsinternarionally, though you can always ask.

Kiki Crochet you hold your thread different, can you show us?

Kiki Crochet
Correct! I can see grandmas teaching would be less stressful on hands
Thanks,
Collette USA
very much like I crochet. I cannot hold my index finger in the air, my tension gets too tight
Thanks for sharing awesome🙏❤️️🌷🍉💝
Thank you very much! :D
I like the clear instructions but I'm a visual learner. The yarn colour is hard for me to see.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much! Sorry the yarn gave you a hard time. :)
Or you could just do 36 divided by 3 and get the same result. I love the hat and pattern tho!
Thank you!
Kiki Crochet you're welcome😋
You mention that the top of the stitch is to the left. I’m confused because I always learned that the top of the stitch is to the right. Am I wrong?
It depends on how you crochet. If you turn your work in every row to work on the opposite direction, it's on the left, if you work in the round without turning your work, then it's on the right. ❤
Is there a way to print the direction?
There aren't any written directions, sorry!

23:22 Creating decreases for waffle stitch
(creating this comment so i can find this asap, thanks❤)
is this bulky yarn or worsted weight??
I'd say that's it's between medium weight and bulky, because although I made it with a 5mm crochet hook, you can work it with a 6mm as well. Hope I helped!
How to make child hat like this???
Hello, Margaret! Make the band (the first part) about 5cm smaller than the kids head circumferance, but make sure you have the correct amount of stitches for the multiple, so the waffle stitch is going to be created correctly in the next rows. Then to close it up, start working your decrease row at about 3cm before the hats total length.
Do you have a written pattern
Unfortunatelly, there's no written pattern.
