My suggestions: make extra rows in order to flip it back on itself: see on one big button or several small one as embellishments; crochet a flower and attach to front.
Still in the process, but as someone who ONLY knew how to chain, this video explained everything really well and I look to be on course to finish a hat soon! Great video!
I've been crocheting for 47 days now and this is my FAVORITE hat pattern/video to follow. You're an amazing teacher (and I've been teaching for 21 years- and now I coach teachers, so I know!). I have made a few as holiday gifts- with matching scarves, too! Thank you for making so many rad videos!
I have saved this video because it is one of the best tutorials. I love how you explain where the slip stitch is and show in detail how to get to the base stitch. I had to watch a couple times but got it and made 2 hats! I added rows so that uncoils flip it over. They are so cute.
Your 30 minute beanie is adorable and needs nothing added. Anyone who takes the time to make a handmade gift should not have to worry about what the perceived value is. I have to assume the receiver will be more than aesthetic when they open this thoughtful gift. Also, you are a great instructor! Thank you for sharing your cute project.
This took me 3 tries, honestly I started it when I was exhausted over holiday but today I have 2 done quickly and they came out so cute! Thank you for sharing your pattern and directions I am 41 and learned how to crochet blankets when I was 12 but never learned anything else.
Thank you so much. It's Christmas crunch time and I needed a quick/easy cap pattern to match my scarves for gifting.This is perfect.Love your assistant's hair.
I really appreciate that you have added the pattern terminology after explaining the pattern. As a beginner, getting a pattern book and seeing Greek inside is intimidating. You’ve helped me break the code!
My 12 year old beginner was able to follow this quite nicely. We just paused between rows. Pleased with how the hat turned out! Thanks for a great tutorial!!
Two weeks of trial and error for my first crochet project... but I have a beanie that I'm happy to wear. Thank you very much for your lessons!!! On to beanie number two. :)
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you were able to make one! Let me know if you ever have pattern requests. I've been looking for ideas to create very beginner-friendly patterns ❤️
Very beginner friendly. I always struggle with where to insert the hook (especially when I get to the end of the row!) Your video made it so clear. Thank you!
Have already made six. My suggestion…..start drinking wine starting on row 5. Starting any earlier means a lot of do-overs!! Great tutorial. Very easy to see what to do. Thank you.
Good video! I made my first thing other than Plain long chain today! Had trouble getting started but after I tore it down and started over 4 times I finally got it! 😊 made one for my niece, started another one for myself so we match! Thanks for the lesson!
You are the best teacher especially for beginners. Any time I want to learn I go straight to your videos. Thanks so much for sharing your time and expertise with us 💕💕
Fantastic tutorial! I have been crocheting since I had my kids then gkids. I made a hat for my 3 yr grandson but he wanted a self darker colour hat My pregnant daughter grabbed the hat and said she would love if I could crochet a similar design for her which I did with your well explained tutorial. Waiting to surprise her when she visits this weekend! Thank you! I aim to make many more for family and charity because of your simplistic, clear pattern😊
If I wanted to make the hat longer (“baggier” if that makes sense!), would I just repeat the rows 5-9, for as many rows until it is as long as I want it to be?
I might have to stick to blankets, im 41 been crocheting blankets since I was 12. I tried this 3x. I feel close this time... Left it to try to finish tomorrow. Im usually a black thick yarn, hoping i can finish it. The other videos of making a rectangle to make a hat feels harder but ty here's to hoping i finish it tomorrow after some sleep lol
Including your design for beanies I'll try to sell to Christmas shoppers at local farmers market; first one will match a scarf (will give you credit on items' tags). Your pleasant voice delivers clear instructions at comfortable pace. Glad I've subscribed. Would appreciate close up of your hands as you teach. Toddler is adorable, as unpredictable as our grandson of same age !
Love this project. Just learning crocheting and wanted to have an actual project to that is in my ability. This hits the spot beautifully. I also love the pattern notations given as I know that if I am going to be able to make something more complicated I will need to be able to use a pattern. 😃
So funny that a BASIC top down beanie always manages to trip me up 🤷♀️. But, I loved your tutorial and I’ll give it another try - Maybe I can get past my mental crochet beanie block !!
Hi baby, thanks for sharing your talents and I love this idea because I make hat's only. I never used the bulky yarn because it can be expensive and you don't get much for the money but since you showed me how to make it without using up much yarn I will try it out. Have a great day
Thank I you. You Son is handsome so cute. Got great grandchildren older. Anyway, I don't have the thick yarn. Would like to learn with regular yarn. I always made scarfs and Blankets. Now I want to make toboggans and shawls. May God Bless your little man
Loved your way of teaching Mam ....i have started it to do for my teenage daughter...she is also very happy to see your tutorial....thank you so much for this easy way🙏🥰
Thank you for this adorable and quick hat pattern! I am heading a new Crochet and Knitting Circle in my Senior Citizen group and will share your pattern with them! I can’t wait to crochet one! Your little boy is soo cute❣️
Love love this video! I am very new to crochet and this is my first hat! I was able to make a larger size with your great instructions! Added a few more rows and folded the edge! Sorry I can't figure out how to add picture😢
Thank you so much for this wonderfully simple pattern. I had a chunky yarn I wanted to use up making a hat. I tried another video and it was so very complicated. Luckily. I found your tutorial and it was so easy.

Did you see my 2 year old make his debut? 😂
Adorable!
Cutie pie ❣
Cute 🥰
i did so cute
He's adorable.
My suggestions: make extra rows in order to flip it back on itself: see on one big button or several small one as embellishments; crochet a flower and attach to front.
Love these suggestions MaryKay! ❤️ Thanks for sharing them with everyone!
A beanie does not have a flip back. only a hat.
Love how yours comes out - mine always have a bit of a point at the very top - do you have any idea why that might be?
@@rosemarimastandrea5639 Rather start with a magic ring.
Mary kay? Are you The Mary kay?
Still in the process, but as someone who ONLY knew how to chain, this video explained everything really well and I look to be on course to finish a hat soon! Great video!
I’m so glad you found it helpful!
Oh, do you hsvr a channel..?
Agreed !!!!
This is a fantastically easy beanie. I made 5 of them with left over yarn when I was locked inside during the cold and gave them to a local shelter.
How do I get to the blog for other sizes?

I have never made a hat so fast! My mom had been wanting a new hat and I’m so happy I could make her one for Christmas. Thank you!
Why is it mine so small after 7th row?🤭where did I gone wrong?
Cute hat! I will try to make some. Adorable little guy back there.

Yay! I'm so happy to hear that!
Is there a written patten for this har
@@terrymatthews9739 fit my hat i used her pattern in the video and just added 3 rows. 😊
It's two days before Christmas. Yup, those first 10 seconds of this video got me.

I’ve watched so many videos, never knit before in my life, and this was the first to make sense, THANK YOU!
Aww he’s adorable with his curly wurly hair. And I do love your fast beanie hat.
I just finished my cute new hat!! I added 2 rows to make it fit better but this video was super easy to follow and helpful!!
Thank you so much. It's Christmas crunch time and I needed a quick/easy cap pattern to match my scarves for gifting.This is perfect.Love your assistant's hair.
Yay! Thank you!

I used to do these a lot a few years ago. Adding ear flaps with pompom at the end also helps make it look more fancy. Thanks for the easy tute!
Thank you for your easy instructions to follow, and I also like the fact that you tell how stitches are in each round!
I love this beanie hat and the best part is that I already have the yarn. I don't have to buy any!! Thanks so much Sigoni!!
How perfect! I love when that happens ❤️
Omg, thank you so much for the simple way to crochet. I love crochet, but I had a hard time following the instructions until I found you.
This is a great pattern and the explaination is easy to follow for someone with no experience with crochet. I loved it.
My 12 year old beginner was able to follow this quite nicely. We just paused between rows. Pleased with how the hat turned out! Thanks for a great tutorial!!
I finished mine with a backward sc stitch and I really liked the finished look. Thanks for suggesting a finished look of our choice. 👍❤
What is a backwards sc?
@stacygreen7001 it's also known as the crab stitch.
Great tutorial! I just made my first hat! I added a couple of rows, but it was so easy and really cute!
So pretty, thank you so much, I will start this night!
I crocheted the base of my trapper using this tutorial! Thanks a million!!!
Two weeks of trial and error for my first crochet project... but I have a beanie that I'm happy to wear. Thank you very much for your lessons!!! On to beanie number two. :)
I loved your tutorial. You make it possible for us beginners to do it. Thank YOU.
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you were able to make one! Let me know if you ever have pattern requests. I've been looking for ideas to create very beginner-friendly patterns ❤️
I crochet hats for various nonprofit organizations. This would be a great quick hat to make for them.
That's a great idea! And they're so easy to customize if you want to experiment with different colors and accessories 😊
Very beginner friendly. I always struggle with where to insert the hook (especially when I get to the end of the row!) Your video made it so clear. Thank you!
Love the simplicity of this pattern. Thanks.

Amazing! So many lucky recipients! And thank you for sharing that advice 😂 Love it! ❤️
bahaha good advice
🥰😂😂😂
@Nancy Miller
🤣🤣🤣 you're awesome.
Going to make this beanie...or beanies...as gifts for next fall/winter!
Love the hat and your guest star.
Good video! I made my first thing other than Plain long chain today! Had trouble getting started but after I tore it down and started over 4 times I finally got it! 😊 made one for my niece, started another one for myself so we match! Thanks for the lesson!
Ooh...such a cutie! I can sure see the resemblance. Thanks for the gift idea.
You're welcome! And thank you! ❤️
She is beautiful. I love your little hat pattern. Going to try it for sure. Thank you for sharing. Glenda
Love this hat, i am a biginner. Love your assistant
Thank you for explaining each stitch as you go!!❤
You are the best teacher especially for beginners. Any time I want to learn I go straight to your videos. Thanks so much for sharing your time and expertise with us 💕💕
you are my hero nobody ever made sence to me thank you a million!🥰🤩😃😃
Hello from Georgia. Just found you. So excited to make this hat; thank you.
Fantastic tutorial! I have been crocheting since I had my kids then gkids. I made a hat for my 3 yr grandson but he wanted a self darker colour hat My pregnant daughter grabbed the hat and said she would love if I could crochet a similar design for her which I did with your well explained tutorial. Waiting to surprise her when she visits this weekend! Thank you! I aim to make many more for family and charity because of your simplistic, clear pattern😊
I love this!!!! I’ve also seen this hat with a simple crocheted flower and sewn on to the hat with the tapestry needle. It dressed it right up!!!
Yes! That's a great idea that I forgot to add. I love when you can make simple things look just as beautiful ❤️
I made this & it is beautiful. Your instructions were very awesome,,,easy to follow. Thanks MUCH!
Anything I make for my friends is not “basic” to them. Haha they go crazy over my work! Great tutorial!
That's awesome! It's so good to have friends like that. ❤️
This hat works up nicely. Loving the little handsome boss baby making an unannounced appearance.🥰
Omgsh its true! Im just now starting to make Christmas gifts so i decided to make hats!
Thank you this video is so helpful. I'm try this after I get off from work tomorrow
Thank you very much! This was a very safe way to get back into crocheting from a extensive time away!
Oh we would never mind seeing your cutie pie, love her curly hair!
He’s a boy but he does get called a girl all the time 😆 He does have the best hair ❤️
If I wanted to make the hat longer (“baggier” if that makes sense!), would I just repeat the rows 5-9, for as many rows until it is as long as I want it to be?
Thank you for your amazing thought out tutorial to make this. Super easy you are a great teacher.
Wonderful teacher❤, thanks! And baby is adorable
Nice beanie love it! I love basic beanies! Yes he is handsome! Thanks for the tutorial! 💕💕

Very good tutorial. You made it super easy. Want more patterns

Omg thank u for this!! I'm new to crochet and wanted to donate some handmade items this winter ☺️🧶 these are perfect!
I might have to stick to blankets, im 41 been crocheting blankets since I was 12. I tried this 3x. I feel close this time... Left it to try to finish tomorrow. Im usually a black thick yarn, hoping i can finish it. The other videos of making a rectangle to make a hat feels harder but ty here's to hoping i finish it tomorrow after some sleep lol

Excellent video for showing how to do this. So helpful for a beginner. Thank you!
