Took me 3 days and I went through about 4 different magic circles until I finally got it down. From there, I had to start 2 more beanies before I finally counted everything and knotted everything correctly. AND I FINALLY DID IT! If you're having trouble, keep trying! I promise, once your fingers get used to the motions, and you get used to the patterns in the yarn, it'll be so easy you'll laugh at your past frustration! Also, some advice would be to loosen up a little. Don't hold the yarn too tight or you'll never be able to pull the new yarn through. Happy crocheting! ❤

Made my first ever beanie and love it!!! Just started crocheting a week ago so I’m still a mess but with this video my beanie came out perfect. I love watching your videos because you are completely beginner friendly. You’re such a great teacher ❤️

I love that you also explained how to read the pattern for it, I think it's the first beginner crochet video I've come across so far that's done that. It's so helpful to be able to read and follow along with basic patterns :)

I just finished it!! Thank you so much!! After trying numerous tutorials and almost giving up, I have finally crocheted my own grey beanie!! I'll be adding a little pompom to it as well!!

Love it. Half way through my first crochet hat ever . So easy to follow , still can’t believe I can do crochet yay. Thank you for the easy tutorial :)

Thank you for the good tutorial, I have very little crochet experience and this was the first usable crochet item I have made :)

Trying to make this for my best friends daughter, you’re a great teacher! Thank you for your uploads, I truly am learning a lot from you. God bless you 💚

Just happened upon this tutorial this morning . Wishing you a very Merry Christmas week 😇💫-she is the Angel on top of the Christmas tree 💗

Yay! This was my first project after teaching myself how to do the stitches and I did it! You explained it super well and the pattern is easy to memorize too!

Just wanted to tell you thank you for this video! You explained it so well. I can't wait to try it!

I really love the way you combine technical terms and simple explanations, it made your tutorial SUPER easy to follow!

I just self-taught myself how to crochet a year ago, so I am still learning, and this video was perfect! Thank you! It helped me finally get down how to crochet a beanie, my son has been hounding me to make him one.

I don’t get why anyone should be confused... Your instructions are crystal clear, and so easy to follow.. The tip on the 2dc vs DC 2 was very helpful. Great tutorial.

this is an incredible tutorial! thank you for the very clear instructions, and consideration for beginners.

I’ve been crocheting for 10+ years with only a handful of lessons. What I’ve learned, I’ve learned on my own after I was given those early personal lessons(from geriatric nursing if you care to know. Yay! Old people! I love you!) and have never watched but one or two crocheting how-to videos. The reason is because the videos were never “stupid simple”. And because I am ambidextrous, but left hand dominant, I would always do BACKWARDS, what was shown and it never came out right. I would get disheartened and stop crocheting for awhile because I couldn’t get out of my very basic, 1-3 stitches. I could cry watching you. I understood EVERYTHING and how it was presented. Thank you. I’m confidant to try this pattern when I get home. Thanks!

Im still enjoying watching Melanie tutorial even in her absence she left me more over with a impart able lesson ,,thank u to Mr Hem and mels whole family ❤❤

So simple indeed. Thank you for this tutorial! Just completed one, I added a little design to mine too.

Thank u so much for it I love the way it shaped!! And yes I usually run away from magic ring but u made it so simple!! Keep up the awesome work!! Love how the beanie turned out it was for a friend!!

Hello! I am on my second beanie and I am making chokers to go with them. Thank you for the instructions. I love it especially since I live in Florida where it gets chilly, but not too cold. Continued success to you for 2020!

To change colors on any project, cut a long tail on the yarn you are currently using, then make sure to simply start using the second color of yarn in your next stich, I know this is a little confusing but I'm sure you could find a video that teaches you how to switch colors, it's easier than it sounds 😊

@hollydoor9435

6 жыл бұрын

Yea, it's possible, leave the needle looped in the yarn and tighten it so there's no slack, if you want to switch from one color to another from one entire double stitch to the next cut the yarn off about 2 inches from the needle (the yarn connected to the roll of yarn). Tie the other color to the loose end and clip off the tags. You should have about enough yarn of the original color to make another double stich before you transition into the next color. You may need to experiment with the length of cut offs to get the desired effect.

First time crocheting and I did this beanie in 2 hours! Great video, very easy to follow.

I just received crochet hooks and some yarn at Christmas, as it was something I have always wanted to learn (my grandmother was amazing at it, but I never got the chance to learn from her). I just want to thank you so much for all your beginner videos! Your speed and explanations have been great to work with, and even though I am not 100% adept at reading written instructions, having the visual and then to compare to the written truly helps! I just followed this beanie today, however I used a 6 weight yarn and a 10mm as that was the pairing I had on hand that worked, so I did need to adjust the rows for fit. It took me around an hour, but it went wonderfully!! Again thank you!

I’m a step by step person, so now that I’ve watched, time to get out the hook and yarn and follow along while hoping it works out

Maybe your adding a double crochet in the same place where you have the 2 chains at the beginning ... After you chain 2 do the 2 double crochet in the next stitch not where the 2 chains are then after you do a 2 double crochet stitch in the same chain for the next six stitches do a 1 double crochet till the sixth stitch then add the 2 double crochet in the next chain continue till the last and check once again where u made a mistake before finishing the row😊

I’ve made loads of blankets before but this is the first actual pattern I’ve followed! Great tutorial!

Good tutorial thanks, just a bit of feedback. It would really help if you made it clearer with the post-it that you do three more rows, the first 2 then 4, 2 then 5, 2 then 6. I got lost there as I thought I was doing one row! Maybe just me.. also after the transition where you replace slip stitch with the double, perhaps show how you work that into the next row as I couldn’t figure that out on my own. Thanks!
