I really like the look of your long beanie and the Oversized Beret superfine crochet. Do you have a pattern or basic instructions for the beret. I love it. Thank you so much

When I followed your instructions for the beanie, I ended up with a flat circle. I don’t understand then the difference between the beanie and the top hat other than the brim.
I recommend working the first round of the brim in the front loops only to give it a sharper angle.

What a wonderful way to spend your time crocheting! You know, there’s a story behind “prayer shawls” that I believe should be adapted to all things created for someone else. You simply “infuse” your creations with thoughts of kindness, maybe a blessing, as you’re making them, repeating it over and over. When you give your item away, be sure to include a little note with it saying that it was made with a blessing for their well-being and happiness!

So glad you all like this article – makes me feel warm and fuzzy like my hat! Ha ha ha! A few of you have mentioned this hat so I’d like to take a minute to explain how this was done (you’re going to think I’m out of my mind – but here goes..) After crocheting a beanie with ear flaps, I then cut HUNDREDS of pieces of yarn about 3″ long and, yes, attached EACH STRAND to one stitch on the hat – that’s how it came out so full. I HATE crocheting with the fuzzy yarn, it’s too hard to see your stitches, but I love this yarn at the same time. So this is how I made this work. There’s more than one way to skin a cat, right? Happy crocheting everyone!

Thank you for a great article. I love hats and felt intimidated about crocheting them. After reading you article, I feel I can do this. I really liked the fun fur beanie. What a great idea for using fun fur. All the hats were wonderful. Thanks, again

It’s kind of funny but I wear this hat a lot, and it always reminds me of the “night caps” little girls wore back in the day! Ha ha ha!
