This is a great pattern for anyone who's learning how to crochet. If you're just starting out or looking to polish and perfect your crochet skills, I highly recommend the professionally filmed and taught Crochet Fundamentals class.
are the ribbing and actual hat seperate and are to be hand sewn together?
I was in the process of leaving this site and it wouldn’t let me. Most important thing to say is that I am really looking forward to crocheting a couple of your slouchy beanie hat and then the beanie hat with a visor. My 32 year old daughter has been looking for another beanie with a visor for a few years now and then I ran across your site and forwarded the link to her and she picked out several patterns for me to make her. She’s excited about it. Thank you so much for sharing your patterns and written directions for us to use and it being free makes it a bonus 😉☺️😉☺️
I having a problem with the sc secure stitch can u demonstrate how to do it.
I cannot get the stitch count to come out right. I always have more stitches in the rows! Ive taken it out at least 4 times.
So disgusted. Help!!!
Love the hat. Is there a print function? Worthless to me without it.
