Thanks so much for posting the video and the instructions. I made this hat for my Nephew, and fits great. However, I want to make one for a one-yr old, how can I alter the pattern to increase the diameter of the hat? Thanks! Seema
Hi Teresa: Wonderful videos. Keep 'em coming!
Chantal
Thank you.
Thanks for the vid. I made this cap and it came out perfect! Would love to use the same pattern for my four year old Twins.
My question is the same as Seema's. How do I alter the pattern to increase the diameter of the hat?
csriz,
The sizing I have is 19-20" for a child size head. If you can, take a measurement of the child head so you can make a custom fit. Recently I posted instructions for an adult stripe beanie cap and spiral cap. It has the flatter top like the baby beanie you are talking about. I used a size "I" crochet hook. The cap is a snug fit already so you can reduce the size without altering the pattern by using a smaller crochet hook. The size hooks I have in mind are an F or G. That should take the size down for a 4 year old without altering to much. If you want to use a size "I" hook, you can just stop increasing after round 7 with 48 single crochet. I am including the 2 patterns that I have been writing to you about. They are both written with the same amount of stitched only one is with stripes and the other is a spiral. Let me know how it works.

Teresa,
Thank you so much. I will definitely let you know how this turns out. Right now I am baby beanie crazy. I have made three so far and working on another as I shared pictures of them with friends and they wanted one for grand children that are babies:)
Teresa,
csriz her again. I want to attach a pom pom to the baby beanies I have made and I believe you have a video that shows how to do that. Can't find it. Would you put that link up for me.
BTW: I am working on the white single crochet baby beanie and having a ball:)
Thank you
csriz,
Here is the yarn ball and sewing it on the hat.

Teresa,
Thank you so much it worked perfectly.
The white single crochet baby beanie is now being worn by my co-worker's granddaughter:)
Made the flat top beanie with size F hook. Worked out just right. Gave them to the Twins for Christmas. They loved them.
I've moved on to flowers and am enjoying your vids very much because they make it so easy.
Thank you for your help and Happy New Year.
HI
May I ask what yarn you are using, everytime I try this my hats come up much smaller than the one on the video. Thanks Amy
this video is really helpfull.Could you please show me how to make earflap cap for 6 month baby
Hi Teresa,
Your videos are amazing. Its really so sweet of you to share so much of your knowledge to millions of us.
I tried this bennie cap with 3.25 mm needle and 4-ply yarn. When I completed row 5, it was not a flat circle. It is too wavy.. kind of a flower. Is it because of smaller size hook? If I try with 4mm hook, will it work fine or am I making some other mistake.
I started this cap with great hopes but quite disappointed now. Can you please help me out?
Thanks,
Anitha
Anitha,
A 4mm hook is equal to the size G that I used so it should work for a larger size.
It's a lovely hat and have almost finished my first and am not really a crocheter. Thank you so much for sharing your patterns and for posting tutorial, which was such a help to me. Now I'm looking forward to making the flower to attach to the hat.
