Full transcript
- 0:00today we're making a bucket hat you can
- 0:02make it any size you want using any yarn
- 0:05you want and I'll be making mine a small
- 0:08medium which will fit about a 50 to 55
- 0:11CM head and in the description below you
- 0:13can find the principal pattern the fre
- 0:16pre-written pattern and the materials I
- 0:18use for this project I used about 70 G
- 0:22of medium weight yarn and this is Red
- 0:25Heart Super Saver brushed in the color
- 0:28cream and here's the information on the
- 0:30label and you can use any yarn you want
- 0:33but if you want to follow my sizing
- 0:34guide then you should use a medium we
- 0:36yarn and also be using a 5 1/2 mm hook
- 0:40just what's recommended on the yarn
- 0:42label some scissors a yarn needle and a
- 0:45measuring tape is optional first we're
- 0:48going to start with the top of the hat
- 0:51and for this part you can start with a
- 0:53magic ring if you want but I'll be
- 0:55showing you a different method we're
- 0:57going to make a slip knot and to make a
- 1:00slip knot hold the yarn over your hand
- 1:02with the tail end at the
- 1:04bottom then hold the yarn with your
- 1:07thumb and make sure you have about this
- 1:09long under your thumb grab the top and
- 1:14wrap it around two fingers to form an X
- 1:18and then you can hold it with your
- 1:19pinky and then with your hook we're
- 1:21going to go under one side of the
- 1:23X and then over and grab the other side
- 1:28and then pull it through
- 1:30remove your
- 1:31fingers and tighten the
- 1:35knot and then we're going to chain four
- 1:38into chain yarn over and pull through
- 1:42the loop on your
- 1:45hook again yarn over and pull
- 1:50through and then do two more for a total
- 1:53of
- 1:56four and once we have four chains we're
- 1:59going to slip stitch to the first chain
- 2:01that we
- 2:02made so we're going to go over through
- 2:06the V of this chain and we're also going
- 2:09to go under the loop in the
- 2:12back so now we have the top Loop of the
- 2:14v in the back Loop of the
- 2:17chain and we're going to yarn over and
- 2:21pull
- 2:24through and then pull through the loop
- 2:27on our hook
- 2:31and now we should have this ring for us
- 2:33to work
- 2:34into and now we can start round one and
- 2:38to start every single new round we're
- 2:40going to chain
- 2:46two and then we're going to do 12 double
- 2:49crochets into this
- 2:51ring so to do a double crochet yarn
- 2:55over and then insert your hook into this
- 2:58ring
- 3:01just through the center then yarn over
- 3:05pull through and now we should have
- 3:07three loops on our hook we're going to
- 3:09yarn over pull through two
- 3:12Loops yarn over pull through two
- 3:15Loops so that's our first double crochet
- 3:18and again to do another double crochet
- 3:20we're going to yarn over insert our hook
- 3:23back into that
- 3:25ring yarn over pull through yarn over
- 3:29pull through two yarn over pull through
- 3:33two so now we have two double crochets
- 3:36and we're going to do that 10 more times
- 3:38until we have a total of 12 double
- 3:48crochets so once you have a lot of
- 3:51double crochets in your ring it might
- 3:54get hard to add more so you can just
- 3:55scoot them over to the right
- 4:00and then you have more space to add your
- 4:02last double
- 4:13crochets and now I have 12 double
- 4:16crochets and you can count them using
- 4:18the v's at the top of each double
- 4:22crochet or by counting the
- 4:25posts so there's one post and then a
- 4:29second post
- 4:30and then there should be 12 of them and
- 4:33then we're going to grab the loose end
- 4:36that we left in the very beginning and
- 4:38pull on it to tighten the
- 4:43center and then at the end of every
- 4:46single round we're going to do a slip
- 4:48stitch to close the round so first we're
- 4:51going to find the very first double
- 4:52crochet that we made this round which is
- 4:56over
- 4:57here and you can see our chain two that
- 5:00we made and this one does not count as a
- 5:03double crochet we're going to look for
- 5:05the post to the left of it right here
- 5:08and then at the top you can see the V so
- 5:11we're going to go under the
- 5:13V of that first Stitch then yarn over
- 5:17pull through and pull through the loop
- 5:20on our hook and
- 5:23tighten and now our first round is
- 5:26finished now for our second round again
- 5:30every single round we're going to start
- 5:32with a chain
- 5:36two and for the second round we're going
- 5:39to do an increase in every single stitch
- 5:42so an increase is just two stitches into
- 5:46one stitch so our first Stitch is that
- 5:49same Stitch that we just slip stitched
- 5:51to which is right here at the base of
- 5:54our two chains and first we're going to
- 5:56do a double crochet into this Stitch so
- 5:59go back under that V and do a double
- 6:06crochet and then since we're doing an
- 6:08increase in every Stitch we're going to
- 6:10put our second double crochet back into
- 6:13that same
- 6:16Stitch then we're going to move on to
- 6:18the next Stitch which is this one here
- 6:21you can see the next
- 6:23V and in this one we're going to do our
- 6:26first double crochet
- 6:31and then we'll do our second double
- 6:33crochet back into that same
- 6:37Stitch and we're going to do the same
- 6:40all the way
- 6:52around and at the end make sure that you
- 6:54don't count the slip stitch that we made
- 6:57as a stitch you should have a total of
- 7:0024 stitches in this round and again at
- 7:04the end of every round we're going to
- 7:05slip stitch so find the first Stitch we
- 7:07made this one here go under the V at the
- 7:11top and do a slip stitch by yarning over
- 7:15pulling
- 7:17through and pulling through the loop on
- 7:19our hook and then tightening
- 7:21it and there is our second round and
- 7:25again to start a new round we're going
- 7:26to chain
- 7:27two and for this third third round we're
- 7:30going to increase in every second Stitch
- 7:34so that means our first Stitch is going
- 7:36to have one double crochet our second
- 7:38Stitch is going to have two double
- 7:40crochets and then the next one is going
- 7:42to have one and then two and then one
- 7:45and then two so let's do our first
- 7:46double crochet into that Stitch we just
- 7:48slip stitch
- 7:53two so there's one and in the next one
- 7:56we're going to do an increase so we're
- 7:58going to do two into the second
- 8:04Stitch so there's one and then there's
- 8:07our second one into that
- 8:10Stitch then we're going to repeat this
- 8:12pattern so the next Stitch is going to
- 8:14have just
- 8:16one and then the next is going to have
- 8:24two and we're going to repeat that all
- 8:26the way around and as long as you're
- 8:29Stitch count was correct and you do the
- 8:33pattern correctly with an increase every
- 8:36second Stitch you're going to end up
- 8:39with an increase in the very last Stitch
- 8:41and at the end of this round you should
- 8:43have a total of 36 stitches and we slip
- 8:52stitch and there is our third round now
- 8:56for round four we're going to chain two
- 9:00instead of every second Stitch we're
- 9:01going to increase every third Stitch so
- 9:03let's do just one double crochet in the
- 9:06first two
- 9:12stitches and then in the third Stitch
- 9:15we're going to do an
- 9:17increase so two double crochets into
- 9:19that third Stitch and we're going to
- 9:21repeat that
- 9:25pattern one
- 9:28one and then
- 9:30two into the third
- 9:35Stitch and again as long as you did the
- 9:38pattern correctly your last Stitch
- 9:40should have an
- 9:44increase and this fourth round should
- 9:46have a total of 48 stitches we'll do a
- 9:49slip
- 9:51stitch and there is round four in our
- 9:54fifth round we're going to increase in
- 9:56every fourth Stitch and our sixth round
- 9:59going to increase in every fifth Stitch
- 10:02and you should be able to see the
- 10:03pattern every new round is going to have
- 10:05another double crochet before the
- 10:07increase and the less rounds you do will
- 10:09give you a smaller hat and the more
- 10:12rounds you do will give you a bigger hat
- 10:13for a size small medium we're going to
- 10:15stop after we have six rounds if you
- 10:18want a medium large then you would do
- 10:20seven rounds so now I have six rounds
- 10:24and it's about 16 cm for the diameter so
- 10:28if you're using a different yarn yarn or
- 10:29hook size or your tension doesn't match
- 10:32mine then just add as many rounds until
- 10:34you get 16 cm for the diameter if you
- 10:37want a small medium and if you want a
- 10:39medium large then you would go until you
- 10:41have a diameter of 18 cm and once you're
- 10:45happy with the size we can move on to
- 10:47doing the body of the Hat the middle
- 10:50part and for the middle part we're just
- 10:51doing rounds with no increases so we're
- 10:55going to start by chaining
- 10:58two and then we're going to do just one
- 11:00double crochet into every single
- 11:06stitch and we're just going to keep
- 11:08adding rounds with no increases until we
- 11:12get the height of the hat that we want
- 11:14and you can try it on and I stopped once
- 11:17the last round was about an inch above
- 11:19my eyebrows so I've done seven rounds of
- 11:23the body and it's about 8 cm long and
- 11:27you can add more rounds if you want to
- 11:29make the Hat longer and now we can start
- 11:32on the brim so first we'll chain two as
- 11:35always and if you did six rounds for the
- 11:38top of the hat like I did we're going to
- 11:40increase in every 12th Stitch if you did
- 11:43a different number of rounds then count
- 11:44the number stitches in your last round
- 11:47divide by six and in that many stitches
- 11:50you're going to do an increase so again
- 11:52for small medium we're going to increase
- 11:54in every 12th Stitch so that means one
- 11:57double crochet into the first 11
- 12:01stitches and then in the 12th we're
- 12:03going to do an increase and we're going
- 12:06to do that all the way
- 12:09around here is the first round of my
- 12:13brim and to do the next round we're
- 12:16going to do an increase in every 13th
- 12:19Stitch instead of every 12th so just
- 12:22like for the top of the hat for every
- 12:24new round of the brim we're going to do
- 12:26another double crochet before the
- 12:27increase and the applies for any size
- 12:30hat you do so again the second round of
- 12:33the brim we're going to increase in
- 12:35every 13th Stitch and then for the third
- 12:38round we're going to increase every 14th
- 12:40Stitch and then 15th and 16th for
- 12:44however long you want your brim to be
- 12:46and here is my finished brim I did four
- 12:50rounds and once you're happy with the
- 12:52length we can fasten off and to fasten
- 12:54off chain
- 12:57one and then we're going to cutter yarn
- 12:59about this
- 13:03long and then pull through with your
- 13:07hook and tighten the knot and the last
- 13:10thing to do is to weave in our Loose
- 13:12Ends so let's grab our yarn needle and
- 13:16thread this loose end into the needle
- 13:31and then we're going to flip it so we're
- 13:33on the inside of the hat and we're going
- 13:36to hide it in our stitches so first
- 13:39let's move our loose end up towards the
- 13:44stitches so we're just going to go under
- 13:46these
- 13:48Loops until we get to the bottom of our
- 13:51last
- 13:52round so about right
- 13:55here then pull your yarn through
- 14:02and then this last round we can go under
- 14:05these Loops at the bottom of the double
- 14:09crochets so here go under these
- 14:17loops and we can go about this far and
- 14:20then pull the yarn through
- 14:31and then we can go up to another
- 14:43round and then we're going to go back in
- 14:45the opposite direction under these loops
- 15:07and we're just going to use up the rest
- 15:08of our loose end so go as far as you
- 15:15can and pull your Yarns through
- 15:30and then you can make sure it's not too
- 15:32tight and it's hidden and we just need
- 15:35to do that for this
- 15:37one on the
- 15:40inside and we're going to do the same
- 15:42thing just go under any loops and you
- 15:45can go back and forth in opposite
- 15:47directions to make it more secure and
- 15:49once we've weaved in both of our Loose
- 15:51Ends our bucket hat is finished and
