Dear Ms Sirin, my 9 year old son has been crocheting for about 8 months now. He has done 4 of your patterns for himself. He has decided to spend the rest of the time we are in quarantine knitting some of your simpler patterns for premie babies in the local hospitals. We managed to buy yarn before the lock down in California. He takes 2-3 days to do one hat so has set a target of three hats a fortnight.
He will be designing rocket projects before you know it. I too am crocheting and knitting and enjoy the excuse that Covid19 has allowed me to use. At close to 69 yo I have been crocheting and knitting for 65 years. If you don’t do anything in those two methods you end up sewing, quilting, macrame etc so he will be making so many useful garments for himself as well as beanies for new borns who arrive with very little and those precious babies deserve so much more. God bless you both and get those needles out soon.
Hi, sorry for late responding. I'm so happy to read your comment. I have a 11 years old daughter and I try to show her some patterns. I know it's so hard to crochet at that age. I congratulate your son and hug him warmly. 💜💜💜 Keep on good work my little friend 😘😘😘
@@SirinsCrochet Thanks, He has now donated 36 hats. School is restarting so I expect the rate to drop off drastically. But he has produced a lot of other things, a couple of scarves and a tea cosy, Hoping this becomes a life time hobby. I am sure your daughter will enjoy learning, you explain so well!
@@gratnam9455 Thank you ♥ You are so kind. My daughter loves to make embroidery and she likes knitting. Crocheting is still a little hard for her :) I'm so happy to be a little part of your son's beautiful donation project. I hope he could always make a handwork like crocheting which can take all of his stress. And he can also keep helping people with this way ♥♥
I have just made this hat using stylecraft aran and a 5mm hook, it worked out great. After the increase rounds I was sure that I had done something wrong as my hat looked like a flat circle! However I kept on going with the repeat round and slowly but surely the hat took shape and I obtained a hat shape. This I my new favourite beanie pattern. Thank you Sirin 😊
AHHHH this same thing happened to me I felt so disheartened I felt like I did something wrong but it also ended up working out:) I'm glad somebody else experienced this🙂
Thank you so much for this wonderful pattern. I am doing the 10 DC start with a 6mm hook then I switch to a 5.5mm hook for the last 4 rows or so to get a tighter stitch around the ears. Fits my hubby perfectly. I am making many to donate in my area. ❤️🧶
I love this hat! It was very easy, once I got past the increase rounds. I had to frog those FIVE times before I finally got it right. Sirin, you are one of my favorites for crochet videos. I have to agree with Nadine below on this one, though. Not quite as clear as others of yours, and I would also have found it helpful to have the stitch counts for each row. Now that I've figured it out, though, I'll be making more of these!
I'm at 6 rows into the pattern repeat, and this fabric is so thick and fluffy! It's going to be so warm, like wearing a blanket on your head! Thank you for the pattern!
Thank you for sharing, I made this for a church friend who's always helping me out on my ranch. He loved it. I used an ombre in super saver yarn which came out lovely and nice and warm for winter in AZ mountains!
Love this pattern . it is just what I was looking for. Our crochet group is making hats for the homeless and this will be nice and warm for the men. Thank you.
I have made this and it’s really great! Thank you. I found it really difficult to get the end-start of the new rows correct and ended up having to undo work several times but I got there in the end. I would love it if tricky bits like the end and the start of a new row are shown more clearly and done a little slower.
Absolutely wonderful pattern! My husband loves his new cozy hat. I searched and searched for a mens beanie that would be warm. This turned out perfect! Beautiful looking and so thick, warm and cozy! I used a 5 weight yarn. Thanks so much for this pattern. The hat looks so professional as well, makes a great gift.
Did you crochet with 12 stitches in the round? And did you use the same brand of yarn? Trying to figure out why mine doesn’t look as enclosed as her hat. I had to decrease to get it to fit.
I made my first ever hat with this pattern and gifted it to my husband before we went to the mountains. It turned out perfectly. Now I’m making one for me 😊 Thank you Sirin!
I just finished your hat. I love how it came out. I did the final two rounds in black even though I hadn't run out of the main color. I will be making many more. Thanks for the tutorial.
Hi Sirin, I’m making this for my Dad for Father’s Day and the pattern is great and easy to follow so thank you. The only problem I’m having is that it’s quite tight so not sure what I’ve done or whether I’m just a tight crocheter! I’m going to try and stretch it so hopefully that works 😊
I’m having the same issue. Sad I haven’t found an explanation. What’s even stranger is that the tightness/smallness only happens with certain yarns. I have two that stretch properly and no need to edit the pattern, and three that were too tight and had to be unraveled to add to make it wider circumference. I’m not very experienced so I wish I knew what was going on with that 😕
TRUST THE PROCESS TRUST THE PROCESS TRUST THE PROCESS!! Like some other comments I was also concerned about the outcome especially cause of the strange folding, but decided to keep going since I already started. It ends up good! I did use a thicker yarn so it is smaller, meant to be a men's hat but it fit me instead, so be warned if you are using a thicker yarn! Good tutorial!
I'm halfway through but I can't see how it will go from circle to hat. If I keep adding rows it will just become a larger circle... no? sorry I'm a beginner
I made 5 of these for family members for Christmas and they were a big hit. I just changed them up by adding stripes like you did in different colors. Finally I made something the men liked! Love your channel and thanks for a great design!
Finally tried using this Caron Lava Cake I’ve had since last year with this tutorial (20%wool- firsts time working with it) I love how it is coming out. Simple yet beautiful and functional. I was wondering how much yarn this might take, now I know I’ll have enough, but I like knowing how much yarn and how many stitches per row/round. Always helpful info to add. But this is a nice hat and a good tutorial, thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you for your tutorial, lovely binnie. I'm beginner, I'd preferred if you had mentioned how many stitches were made at the end of every row specially thise at the beginning. Are they multiple of 12? Thank you
Ms Sirin, I made this hat for my adult Son. The first day He wore it to work, His work family was asking where they could get one! I'm now on the third one😊 thx bunches for sharing this cool mens style beanie.
Thank-you so much, I love this hat, the soft, squishy texture is so cozy & comforting. I am re-learning crochet after being a beginner 3 decades ago. Due to quarantine, I needed to keep creatively busy AND I decided to see how many hats I can make for the cold season, as I would like to give these out in the community where I work (DTES) Vancouver, BC. I am trying various patterns, this will now be my #15th hat, and I am enjoying making it very much. Your time & effort spent to teach this is so very much appreciated.
I am going to give this a try. I am making a scarf for me right now, but want to make my husband a beanie. Can't wait to finish my current project. Thank you for sharing just what I was looking for a classic beanie.
I absolutely love all your patterns, that’s the reason I fallow you because you teach us and explain everything easy to follow plus you sound so sweet and love your cats too ❤
Soooooooo, I made this hat a few months ago and thought it was really nice!!! Decided to make another and is now realizing I did the pattern all wrong!! I didnt alternate the FPDC for the body. LOL!
I thoroughly enjoy your TH-cam channel. Your patterns are so beautiful and you are such a good instructor. Your voice is so soothing. I feel so calm when I’m listening to you. I also want to thank you so much for doing your channel in English. I also enjoy when your cats get in the action. Please keep up the good work.
I have just made this hat! And I thank you for showing us how! You are actually my go to TH-camr for instructions and inspiration! I find it easy to follow you, we crochet the same way, and I do understand you. The accent makes me listen better I think! I love your cats! I am tackling more beanies and your 3D leaf bag. Keep up the good work, you are awesome!
Love your accent. Your english is very good. Subtitles are great. As previously suggested, consider adding stitch totals at the end of each row in future tutorials. This will assure veteran and novice crocheters they're on the right track.
Think I will give this a try. My husband has seen me working on a scarf and is wanting me to make him a beanie. I was going to try some color changes, but I think for my first one I will do a solid color.
I am just putting a few final rows on the beanie and once again must compliment you on your design. I love this fpdc / bpdc stitch because it does two things...it is dense, thereby ensuring warmth for the wearer and it does have plenty of stretch to it so that one size truly should fit all. I have thumbed through a lot of men's stocking cap patterns trying to find something that looked manly and this surely did, although i could see myself wearing one as well with a pom pom. I will be making several of this for Christmas presents this year. I think they will be well received. Thanks again Sirin for your wonderful patterns and video tutorials. You make crocheting fun!
I did the "prototype" for a friend (who likes to hunt) in camouflage worsted yarn and made a "coordinating" scarf. He absolutely loved it, so did our youngest son. For the coordinating scarf I made 4hdc, 6 alternating front and back post dc, just like the hat, 4 hdc, 6 fpdc/bpdc, 4hdc , 6 fpdc/bpdc and 4 hdc. I tried making a scarf exactly with the same fpdc/bpdc like the hat but it ate up yarn like crazy and the store was out of more camo, so that is why I had to modify the scarf, but in the end, I think I like the modification better. Anyway, yet another wonderful design. You really are an extremely talented designer.
A really nice pattern and well instructed. My only comment, count stitches so that each row is the same, at first, it is really easy to begin to increase
Thankyou so much, my grandchildren told me that I can slow it down, I was getting a bit frustrated. It hasn't stopped me, I will make this beanie again.😀👍
Hi Sirin, I have made 4 hats in 4 days using this pattern. They turned our so beautiful and my friends and family love them! Once again, Thank you so much! ❤️
Well, this is the most frustrating beanie pattern, but I'm glad I stuck with it. I'm gonna share my journey and hopefully help some people out. Take 1- I started with a 5 weight yarn and a K hook, wanting to use this yarn I already had. The K hook was giving me a circle bigger than hers, so I unraveled it by the 4th or 5th row. If you're looking at the bit in your hand and the bit in her hand and there's a noticeable size difference, change your hook size! Take 2- I used the same 5 weight yarn and a slightly smaller J hook, which gave a perfect size... but I ended up with the same "curly Lay's potato chip" that everyone is describing. I have some experience making beanies and I quickly identified the problem. If you fold your circle in half like an upside down taco (with the seams facing the way they should be. You don't want it inside-out for this!), it needs to literally look like an upside down taco- with a flat line on the top and a half-circle on the bottom. Geometry. Mine was curving up and had the shape of a gyoza. Or like a pie chart with 66% filled in. When I pinched off the extra fabric (to use my imagination and create that straight line) and traced it down to the base, it was 2 stitches too many.... which kindof made me face-palm because I've NEVER made a beanie with 12 in the ring. Never. Usually 8 is the start for a women's beanie. And she did recommend that 10 was for women's sizing option? So I gave that a try just to see... I can't comment in general on how many to put in your ring... because with different yarn sizes and hooks, it's hard to tell. But FOLD YOUR CIRCLE and it should be a taco. If it's greater than a taco, remove stitches. If it's less than, you're probably gonna end up with a kid-sized beanie, try adding a stitch. Take 3- Still the 5 weight yarn, J hook, and 10 stitches in my magic ring. I followed all her other instructions to a T, which was easy because she doesn't give stitch counts anyway... Sarcasm aside, I finally got a nice men's beanie! Mine is the chunky version, but it works. 👍 I just wanted to use up this particular yarn and this did the trick. As a guide, I found a men's beanie that I could lay mine on top of as I was working with it, and compare/ make sure the size aligned. It helped me to make intuitive decisions. I really hope this helps y'all. Good luck and don't stab yourself in the eyes with your crochet hooks today. You got this. 😺❤
***Tip: Add stitch marker to the third chain of your beginning Ch3 stitch in each row to clearly mark the beginning stitch of the row. Row 1: 12 stitches (Ch 3 + 11 DC) Row 2: 24 stitches (Ch 3 and DCs) Row 3: 36 stitches (Ch 3 and DCs) Row 4: 72 stitches (Ch3 and DCs) 72 stitches for remainder of rows Pattern suggests to make enough rows until you reach 22 cm/8.5 inches. Or as many rows as you like depending on the length that you want.
@@bremccoy327 I don’t know! I’m not a pattern maker, I just kept track of the number of stitches in each row to help me make this beanie again. Do you want to increase after row 4?
O sweety you are amazing, even your design too, you explained so well, hats off to you to be an excellent trainer, I surely will make it for my young son, thanks
Hi Sirin... I have a love and hate relationship with your channel😀.. I hate it but I love it.. Initially I find your tutorials difficult and frustrating and then when I redo them I finally understand and it's happiness🌞Thank you for another fabulous crochet tutorial. I find the stuff you put up quite unique and standout. Made this for a friend and it turned out very nice. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge 💐 I am tackling the leaf bag next. Hope I ace it.. 🤗
Hello sirin, Thank you so so much for your very easy to follow patterns I found this pattern a couple of years ago and the hat turned out perfect exactly like the pattern it washes so well and looks new still my hubby is a builder and he loves the hat so much I think it's time for a few new ones 😀. I'm going to make this one again and then go through your catalogue and make some other ones I'm sure he will be happy with what ever I do. Your voice is so calming that if I go wrong it doesn't upset me because you have kept it so calm thank you again have a very happy new year and I look forward to more of your patterns next year 😊 lots of love ❤️ Roz xxxx
Help! I’m making this for someone with a big head. Haha Great hat and I learned many new things. Even after reading the written pattern I wasn’t sure how to make it bigger. Please let me know if you have time. Thank you!
Sirin, you are sooo good. I made the alpine hat from your video. It came out very nice. Your tutorials are better than the book I bought. Please consider writing a book on beanies and hat. God bless you
Sirin, right now I am making this beanie. It is looking so nice. I love this front post and back post double crochet design. I could’nt wait to finish it. I have down loaded the pattern also from your web site. Thanks a million
Hello Sirin, I thank you so much for sharing this beautiful stylish hat. It's my first time with these patterns, with your thorough instructions, I find it easier to follow, and able to finish the Hat. Again it's such a beautiful design - you are so creative 😍
I did a mens hat. Turned out great, & my Son loves it! Now his coworkers want one 😊 thanks! I want to do one for my grandson. He's 4. How many DCin beginning?
You can find the written pattern here; sirinscrochet.com/crochet-classic-mens-hat-beanie-tutorial/
Very nice i will try thank you
Thank you for sharing such beautifully crafted projects. I loved this pattern! The finished product was awesome and the texture so unique.
It doesn't say how many stitches after each row.

I would love it if tricky bits like the end and the start of a new row are shown more clearly and done a little slower.
Me too.
You can slow the video down by going to the top right of the video and tapping the 3 dots and then going to video speed and slowing it down.
@@leed1374 I still had problems seeing. I gave up. It’s nice though. I’ll probably come back to it another day.
Same here Mam, can you please help me out with the stitch count before we repeat the rows with bpdc and fpdc..?

Please tell us how many stitches you have on each row when you finish that row, and show us how that row looks finished? thanks.

😻Happy reunions 😍😍 Hope he likes his new hat
A really nice pattern and well instructed. My only comment, count stitches so that each row is the same, at first, it is really easy to begin to increase
This hat is amazing as it doesn’t require and increases or decreases! I’m going to try and make one for my husband. Thank you so much!
This is a fantastic pattern. Nice and warm. I've made 3 already. Thank you so much. You did a great job! ❤
Thankyou so much, my grandchildren told me that I can slow it down, I was getting a bit frustrated. It hasn't stopped me, I will make this beanie again.😀👍

Mine was curving up and had the shape of a gyoza. Or like a pie chart with 66% filled in. When I pinched off the extra fabric (to use my imagination and create that straight line) and traced it down to the base, it was 2 stitches too many.... which kindof made me face-palm because I've NEVER made a beanie with 12 in the ring. Never. Usually 8 is the start for a women's beanie. And she did recommend that 10 was for women's sizing option? So I gave that a try just to see...
I can't comment in general on how many to put in your ring... because with different yarn sizes and hooks, it's hard to tell. But FOLD YOUR CIRCLE and it should be a taco. If it's greater than a taco, remove stitches. If it's less than, you're probably gonna end up with a kid-sized beanie, try adding a stitch.
Take 3- Still the 5 weight yarn, J hook, and 10 stitches in my magic ring. I followed all her other instructions to a T, which was easy because she doesn't give stitch counts anyway... Sarcasm aside, I finally got a nice men's beanie! Mine is the chunky version, but it works. 👍 I just wanted to use up this particular yarn and this did the trick.
As a guide, I found a men's beanie that I could lay mine on top of as I was working with it, and compare/ make sure the size aligned. It helped me to make intuitive decisions.
I really hope this helps y'all. Good luck and don't stab yourself in the eyes with your crochet hooks today. You got this. 😺❤
I can’t get my to curve down !😢
Hi Sirin, am making one for my husband, it's almost finished , thanks for the tutorial
love this. thank you for this pattern. very warm beanies
Thank you so much, you are a very good teacher, and the lighting is perfect easy to see.
Have a blessed day!🙂❤
***Tip: Add stitch marker to the third chain of your beginning Ch3 stitch in each row to clearly mark the beginning stitch of the row.
Row 1: 12 stitches (Ch 3 + 11 DC)
Row 2: 24 stitches (Ch 3 and DCs)
Row 3: 36 stitches (Ch 3 and DCs)
Row 4: 72 stitches (Ch3 and DCs)
72 stitches for remainder of rows
Pattern suggests to make enough rows until you reach 22 cm/8.5 inches. Or as many rows as you like depending on the length that you want.
Can you advise on how to create a extra row of increases?
@@bremccoy327 I don’t know! I’m not a pattern maker, I just kept track of the number of stitches in each row to help me make this beanie again. Do you want to increase after row 4?
Thank you so much for the information. It is needed to have the pattern to set up right. Much appreciated.
So beautiful I am making it for my grandson from woolen chunky yarn right when I am back from store. Thank you for sharing.
Just followed and made a hat for my hubby and we both love it! Thank you ❤️
My top round piece always comes out wavy after the 4th ring. I'm trying it with a bigger hook now. I hope it helps. I like this pattern
I am not great at reading written patterns but I followed this video and love this beanie.
