Do you enjoy making simple shapes like rectangles? I highly recommend the Crochet Anything with Rectangles class where you take the basic shape and make a tote bag, beanie, slippers, and cardigan. All of these projects are made with simple rectangles!

      Ha! I am sorry. For some reason my mind decided to skip that number. The pattern didn’t change but I corrected the row number. Thank you!

      Oh yes! Just follow the same pattern. If it’s confusing at all (shouldn’t be) This pattern is the same design but with a 70 stitch count. (child size) You just wouldn’t need to make the batman symbol 🙂 http://stitch11.com/child-size-batman-beanie/

    Thank you for this pattern and the subsequent corrections. I used your beanie pattern as a starting point for an earflap hat for my husband and he loves it. I love that the pattern works up in the round not leaving a visible seam.

    I completely finished one hat. It came out to small. I used a 5.75mm hook and it still came out to small. I changed to bulky yarn and at the end of 6th row it was 6 inches so I jus.t continue At the end of 7 rows it is 6&5/8 in. Would I use a larger or smaller hook to get the right gauge? Thanks in advance. Penny

    Hello I hope every body is enjoying their crochet projects.
    I have bought a 5.5 hook and caron yarn. I read the Masterplan for making Beanies. My results are becoming better. but it is still on the small size. My question is the brim included in the measurements? What is the length of the brim? How long should the main part of the Beanie before the brim is added?

    I am so glad to have you to explain things to us. Penny

    Thanks for the free pattern but I don’t see how all these people are actually completing it. I’ve had to start this thing over about 3 times now. I am an experienced crocheter and have completed much more complicated projects than this but following your pattern, the hat does not come out looking even remotely the same as the photo at all

    I cannot for the life of me figure out rows 20 through 25. When adding a sc in between the fpdc, it makes it super bulky and not in columns. I have got to be doing something wrong, right?

    I’m new to crocheting. I don’t understand how I get to 37 stitches by round 3 and 50something stitches my the 4th round.
    This is my second yru with this hat. First time I used a “bulky” 5 but looks like a med. 4 weight. Now I’m using a 4 worsed yarn.
