Easy Crochet Beanie for Absolute Beginners

Hey Cherilyn! I have a question, my first row is very tight. I basically did my first stitches ever on this project and they were extremely tight, but I'm quite a few rows in now, looks a bit like a rainbow because the first row is tight and everything else is stretchy. Do I have to start over now? Is there any way to salvage it?

Congratulations!!!! Incredible video and explanation!!!!!

Thank you for counting in measurements instead of stitches, my tension always ends up pretty tight so counting stitches doesn’t aways work 😅

so how do you get your first row so straight, mine was really twisted.

This is the best video I have ever seen on how to make this type of beanie. Thank you!

it was perfect thank you🥺🥺💗💗

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have made several beanies now using this method. Never would have believed it was so easy. Thanks again.

This was so helpful! I just finished a beanie for my friend. After almost a week of trial and error, and while working with quite the thick yarn(not chunky but very fluffy) which made it impossible to see the right loops its done and im really happy with how it turned out. Great practice on how to control how tought the yarn is.

I'm a complete beginner, I've always wanted to know how to crochet and I was finally brave enough to try it. I've tried simple things like flowers, hearts, but a beanie? It sounded too advanced, but thanks to your video I finished my first beanie yesterday. A bit clunky and too big :D, but I managed it and am going to make another one, hopefully better. I'm really happy and thanks for this tutorial and your work. You are the best!

😇

Thanks!
I just finished it!

Great video!!! Thank you.

Thank you for that video. Because of you, I will be making beanies to send to North Carolina. Keep up the great videos!

🎉epic gracias❤

Thank you! This was easy to follow :)

Just writing notes for myself:
1st attempt 54 stitches long, 12 inches

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH IT HELPED ME I STARTED TODAY AND OH MY GOSH U R ABSOLUTELY GREAT AT TUTORIALS I JUST DID ONE CROCHET STICH I KNOW ITS NOT ENOUGH BUT I WAS SO PROUD KEEP MAKING THESE TUTORIALS❤

Love this video! I just started learning to crochet and you make it so easy to understand and I can actually SEE what you’re doing step by step. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Love your nails

Fantastic tutorial, thank you!

is there a reason for me that 100g of yarn is not enough for me to make a beanie, same weight and material, i use 4mm hook but it barely covered even half of whats needed

How tight should the chain be? I can't even count how many times I've restarted😢

This is my first attempt at a hat, and your tutorial is super straight forward and makes me feel confident that I should have no problem making one too! Might get fancy and attach a pom pom to the top, who knows? Can't wait to learn this so I can have another holiday gift option under my belt <3

How much yarn did it took you to make it?

this is the first crochet video where i actually get it

Im planning to do this for my next project😍 may i know whats the measurement of its height??

Finaly a real begginer friendly tutorial! Can't wait to make it!!!

When I start my first row, it's 12 in, but as I add more rows, it shortens to 6 inches. Why's that? How do I stop that from happening?

I find the way the stitches connect so hard😭

Thanks!

after trying to make a beanie twice and failing, i decided to follow this! it worked beautifully <3 very thorough and easy to follow tutorial, thank you so much! :)

How many crochet ball need for this?

Im making it now ❤ greetings from Belgium

This was extremely helpful and very well taught!!! I feel a lot of crochet tutorials can be confusing but this was very simple and I have made a wonderful beanie ❤ Thank you!!!

Your tutorial was very understandable and more informative than most other beanie videos. You took your time to explain the process and were very clear and concise. Thank you for the new way to make a beanie for my friends and family. ❤

It told me to make it slightly smaller than I wanted...it stretched to the right length...its too. small.

THANK YOU!! I started crocheting 3 days ago and this was my very first project after learning the basics, this video was SO easy to follow and felt so reassuring with how calmly and clearly you explain everything. Seriously so helpful. The result was so good, I still can't believe I did that (thanks to your fantastic tutorial). I will recommend this to anyone who is starting crochet and looking for a good beginner tutorial 💖💖💖

Thank you so much! Learning from scratch & feel like with your instructions being so clear, I can try & take this on! :) Handy as I love a beanie but have a big head - so can now make them to fit me instead of buying ones too small! <3

hii,this pattern also work with all types of yarn?i have a junky yarn that i don’t know how to use ❤️❤️❤️

Hi! Which type of yarn have you used? Is it aran or chunky yarn? Many thanks!

Would you be able to share the pattern? I’ll be on a plane and not sure if I’ll have WiFi to watch the video while I crochet.

How many grams of yarn you used for crocheting this beanie

Thank you for a beautiful easy pattern.....i plan on making several for Christmas presents in beautiful colors....i am so happy to have found your site.your video is excellent.
Again,thank you.

Is there a possible way how to fix the square if it's too small, i think that my head is bigger than 12 inches hahaha

This was to hard I couldn’t do the second row never mind I found a way

Love this beanie...what is the weight or thickness of the yarn you used?

Thank you very much! Made a beanie for my boyfriend as a small gift :)

I'm finishing my second beanie using this pattern, and oh my gosh!! you made this so easy to understand, by the time winter is over I'm going to have a whole closet filled with beanies! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

How many inches you think is for a guy?

Two weeks ago I couldn't tell the difference between crochet and knitting and never touched a hook in my life. Thanks to a few videos, I made a cool beanie! Your video has easily been the most understandable video I've seen so far! Thank you for this!
