I'm having trouble with one of the directions - "dc in same space". Which space? ;)
ReplyDeleteAfter you join in the first st, you dc in that same st. HTH <3
ReplyDeleteSo cute! It's so little! This may be baby boy's (Due 12/8/11) hat for his newborn picture.
ReplyDeleteHow do you make he hat bigger for a 3-6 month old size?
ReplyDeleteI would repeat round add four more stitches evenly in another increase row and add another row or two to the total length. 3-6 month is usually sized at 14 to 15 in circumference and 5.5 to 6 inches crown to brim.
ReplyDeletesorry but what is a magic loop?
ReplyDeleteClick on the words " magic loop" and it will take you to a video tutorial,
ReplyDeleteHow many oz of yarn does it take per beanie or how many beanies can you make per skein of yarn (3.5 oz)?
ReplyDeleteI can get 3 beanies out of one Impeccable Charisma skein. Not sure on the ounces.
ReplyDeleteI have level 6 yarn, is it all right to use a size N hook or will that make it too loose?
ReplyDeleteSara, it shouldn't be too loose, but the hat will be a little bigger.
ReplyDeletehow could you make this pattern into child and adult sizes?! This is a cute little beanie
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of patterns out there for adults and kids. Check put crochet pattern central - free website with tins of patterns. You can also check out my post about sizing hat here. http://oodles4noodles.blogspot.com/2011/08/crocheting-hats-for-preemies-tutorial.html
ReplyDeleteThe concept is the same for other bigger hats.
Such an awesome pattern! barely took me any time to make. Going to make a few more for our new addition!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis was my first attempt at a hat and it didn't take me long just watching the videos. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you for making this tutorial. My daughter is just starting to crochet and I am trying it again after years of not crocheting. Your tutorial was very helpful to both of us.
ReplyDeleteI love this little tutorial/pattern and am very grateful for it and all the rest of the information on this site. I just have one question, where do I find an 'L' hook. I went through all my kazillions hooks and found not one 'L'. I went to Wal-Mart today and still no 'L'. What's up with that?
ReplyDeleteIt just depends on what the store carries. Try a Michael's, Hobby Lobby or AC Moore. Walmart's supply is usually limited. Also try eknittingneedles.com Great prices there!
DeleteI didn't have any chunky yarn, so I just doubled up some worsted weight, and it turned out just as cute! Thanks for the pattern!!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! Simple simple! Thx for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and patterns. Thank you so much for your wonderful sharing! I'm presently working on a baby blanket that is taking me forever. I said I would not start another project until I'd finished the blanket.... but I think I'll take a break from the blanket and make your darling hat. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your ideas and patterns. I love this baby cap so much. I have been looking for quick patterns I can make in public and hand out to interested folk. My version of yarn bombing I guess. lol
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this. Deb
This cap was so easy to make! Thanks for posting

ReplyDeleteThank you for the pattern. I'm in the UK and our terms are different. I figured out the stitches, but not sure on the crochet hook size. What is L size in mm's. I hope you can help, many thanks x
ReplyDeleteL is 8mm. Enjoy the pattern!
DeleteWhen I pull my magic loop I get a 1 inch hole in the center. =S Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteFantastic my very first hat I've made in crochet and was simple and easy useing the video , I have only been crocheting a few months
ReplyDeleteMade the hat. Turned out great,. But how do I make one for an older child. I have a hard time knowing when to stop increasing. Tried yourlink but it only shows a chart for premies. Help?
ReplyDeleteHere is a hat sizing guide. It's not perfect, but it will help.
Deletehttp://www.oodles-4-noodles.com/2012/02/crochet-hat-sizing-guide.html?m=0
Sure. A Pom Pom would be cute.
ReplyDeleteHow can I make this for an adult?
ReplyDeleteI have a k crochet hook. Will that make the hat too small? About how many inches diameter should the first round be? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am very new at crochet so I was very happy to find your video. I want to make these beanies to donate to a local hospital here in the Chicago area. I'm not great at following patterns yet so I was looking for something easy to get me started. Your video is so easy to follow that I'm now really excited to get started on making some precious little hats to donate. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am hoping I can follow the directions and actually make what looks like a hat. I am saving you in my bookmarks so when I can get my computer to talk to me again I can watch and listen to your video.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable and I would like very much to make it but I need circumference of 20 - 21in. How many chains would I have to add. Help would be appreciated. Thank You
ReplyDeleteJust take the circumference you need and divide it by 3.14. This will I've you the crown diameter you need for that circumference. The increase evenly in each round until you reach that diameter. Stop increasing, and just work even rounds until the hat is your desired length from brim to crown.
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is awesome! Thanks so much for posting it...even though it was several years back. Anyway, I am busting my small stash of chunky yarn for the babies at the local hospital. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteSo fast and easy! I'm going to get some different colors and make a few more. Was having trouble finding a newborn hat to do with super bulky yarn (it's hard for me to work with) glad I found this one. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHow do I make a hat for a 5-7 month old?
ReplyDeletedo idc in same space as my slip knot in the 4th round thru 7
ReplyDeleteThanks for this pattern! I timed myself for the second one that I made and had it done in 13 minutes! I want to make them for every baby now they are so quick, cute, fun, and easy to make! ��
ReplyDeleteAfter round one don't you join to the prior row? If not, where do you put the dc? I joined mine.
