Beginner Crochet Stitches and Techniques

Thanks so much for all of your crochet info and videos, they are awesome!! I have a question about hat sizes. I have been making hats for a little while now, but have been guessing on what sizes to make them. So with your hat chart, how do you know when the hat is the right size, what part to you measure. AND if the person measures their head, I'm a little unsure what to do with those measurements, and which hook size to use. Can you help me??? I would greatly appreciate it!
There are a few ways to adjust the size of a hat.
1. A larger or smaller hook
2. Adding more stitches to the increase rounds.
3. Larger Yarn.
You will gauge your individual crochet style by crocheting a swatch of yarn approximately 4x4 inches. You measure how many rows and how many stitches are in the 4 inches. If you are getting more rows and more stitches in the 4 inch swatch than what the pattern gauge is, then that means your hat is going to be to small or tight. If you follow the pattern materials closely (Hook size, yarn size), your cap should come close to the measurements. Hat sizes are so you have an idea how large to make them. I still find that they are hit and miss when it comes to some sizes.
Teresa! I need to make a toddler size beanie and i can only understand your instructions!! can you give me directions? i can make the newborn beanie easily but i cant seem to get his size right. you told tracey to add more stitches. which stitches??? do i add 1 HDC in each stitch or 2.. im not sure. i just need a video or written directions if you have them. thank you!
Katie J,
What you are doing is modifying the pattern to make it larger. You will need to add more stitches in each round. For instance, if you start off with 6 stitches in the first round and you want to make a larger hat, then you will start off with 8 stitches instead. What size around is your toddler's head?
his head is about 19 inches around. i really appriciate you getting back so soon!! if it is easier you can email me at katiejoseph@live.com
Hi, Thks so much for the wonderful advice that you leave for all to see!!! :-) I love the videos and I am just in awe of how you find the hours upon hours it must take to do all this work?? Theresa you are a God send to many people online as well as to me! I am trying to get an online business going selling my crocheted items because I am disabled and that is the way I help support myself! Even though I have been crocheting for over 30 years there is always something to learn and that is what I love about crocheting and knitting!! I am not too crazy about all the computer skills needed to be successful online? I trust God to help me with my little crochet business and try to keep my pricing reasonable! I just wanted to thank you for all this advice and the patterns too!

Joni B,
Thank you. Good luck with your business.
I have the same problem as Katie J. But you replied the answer via email to her, so I am making a beanie that is Single Crochet and I have 60 stitches but it still looks small. Do I have to do the 4X4 square? Or you can tell me off hand what I might be doing wrong. I love all your videos!! I have all your podcast, keep them coming please!! I crochet when I was little and your videos, where so clear and easy to understand, that I remembered everything right away.
Thank you, this is very helpful as I am making baby things for my best friends twins who are arriving soon! I always find your instructions and videos very helpful.
Bionerd,

Hi i'm learning to crochet and hav started doing a beanie cap from your instructions.i started off with single stitches and now would like to add double stitches.i would lik to know how to increase each row accordigly.i have reached 12 rows using single stitches alone.i'm making a cap for my 2 year old.
Teresa,
Hello! I am wondering about your measurements for head sizes. As far as the hat height is concerned, are all of these measurements based on the hat having a roll?
Thanks!
anewtkay,
This chart is standard measurement to cover the ears with the hat height.
