The lengths of each style are as follows:
Basic Beanie - 8.25"
Folded Edge (measured with edge not folded): 10.5"
Slouchy: 13"

What a blessing to have people like her taking the time to share this design with us...and the printed instructions was a bonus as I like to crochet when I'm watching TV. I crocheted the Basic Beanie because my son won't wear anything else...I also make extras for the mens shelter. Many blessings and thank you from the heart! 💓

My first beanie…. It’s awesome thanks to your well explained, clearly stated stitches…. I love that you say how many stitches we should end up at every row. I have a hard time starting my first stitch after the single crochet, but I’m glad you showed it, and ending is also a challenge for me… thank you for showing it clearl6 and slowly. Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you so much for this pattern! I was at a loss what to get my husband for his birthday when i stumbled upon this. Hed been asking me for a beanie. This pattern fit perfectly on his giant head. I made the folded over one. I used size 3 and size 2 yarns (wool and acrylic) until row 25 and then size 3 super fluffy yarn for the rim.
Thank you so much for the easy-to-follow tutorial and written pattern. I just made one for my son and he loves it. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity.
Ooh love this. I make beanies for the homeless so this will be my choice this year. So quick and easy to make. It's autumn here in Oz so they will be needed soon. Subscribed.

Hi Savita, yes, you work 2 hdc into each stitch all the way around. This will double the stitch count at the end.
If my head has a bigger circumference, and want two additional rows (with r13 being the last increase row, and r14 being the repeating) what changes should I do to r11-r14? Thank you so much.
This video is so great, thank you🥰 but I have a question, when you do the slipstitch in the very first hdc, did you also do the first hdc from the next row in that very first hdc where the slipstitch is done?

Hi! I'm a crochet beginner but I'd like to make a few of these as gifts this year. To make it larger you say to add a few increases, can you explain what increases are? Is that adding more 2 half double crochets? Like instead of doing 1, then 6 singles, maybe 2 then 6 singles? Thank you!!
@ByJenniDesigns
Жыл бұрын
Yes, exactly. An increase is when you work more than one stitch in the same place. 😁
This is so easy to follow, thank you! My husband has a big head - could you tell me how to make this a little bigger around? I’m assuming I just do another one or two increases (like, get to 88 stitches, maybe) but then I’m unsure how to do the row after I stop increasing. Your next row was 9 hdc then 2, 6 and 2, etc but if I add stitches I don’t think that will work. (I’m new at this, sorry!)
@ByJenniDesigns
5 ай бұрын
Hi! Yes, you have the right idea. For 1" larger add 4 hdc increases, 8 for 2". You can just do these in row 11. Just spread them out throughout the row. :)

Hi Jenni, I'm about halfway done and the width measures 12" across. A little research online indicates almost unanimously that a men's circumference beanie is 23". It seems like this will be too big. I don't mind taking apart what I did to make it smaller. Would you recommend that?
@ByJenniDesigns
6 ай бұрын
Oh no, that is measuring a little large. I'm so sorry! Before you pull it out, if you haven't already, try it on your head so you can get an idea of how much smaller you would like it. Then, you can pull out back to row 11 🫤 and remove some of the increases. To decide how many, you'll need to measure across and see how many hdc's make up an inch or two (depending how much smaller you need it).
First came out beautiful, but is the seam in the back supposed to be straight or does it go off to a slant? The first one I made it went to a slant and it fit perfectly the second one I made I thought maybe it’s supposed to go straight and so I joined at the stitch right to the left and where you showed you joined and it went straight, but then the hat was small. What is the seam part supposed to look like thank you
@ByJenniDesigns
2 ай бұрын
The seam does go off to a slant. I've tried one in the round (no seam) and you do have to add quite a few increases to make it the right size.
Hi this is a bit tight for my son how can I increase the size for a slightly bigger head
If I want the stiches to loook smaller in the final product, but keep it the same size (large for a mans head) can I use a smaller hook like 3.75mm but just make more rounds until it's big enough?
