  1. 0:00Hello and welcome back to Crochet with
  2. 0:01Claudia. Today I'm going to be teaching
  3. 0:03you how to make these stripey crochet
  4. 0:05hats. You can use whatever color
  5. 0:07combination you'd like. This is made
  6. 0:08using the double crochet stitch, which I
  7. 0:10went through thoroughly in my last video
  8. 0:12of how to crochet for beginners the
  9. 0:14double crochet stitch. So, if you don't
  10. 0:16know how to do that stitch, make sure to
  11. 0:18watch that video. But I absolutely love
  12. 0:20these hats. I think they look so cool
  13. 0:22and they're really easy to customize to
  14. 0:23your own size. So, because this is for
  15. 0:25absolute beginners, I'm going to be
  16. 0:26teaching you this with no magic circle.
  17. 0:29I found magic circles so hard when I was
  18. 0:31beginning and you can't even tell this
  19. 0:32is made without a magic circle. It's
  20. 0:34such a simple pattern. So, let's get
  21. 0:36started. So, today I'll be using the
  22. 0:37Everyday Chunky yarn from Hobbycraft. I
  23. 0:40prefer using a bit of a chunky yarn for
  24. 0:42this pattern just because I think it
  25. 0:43looks a bit better. These are in the
  26. 0:44shades beige and pink and I think they
  27. 0:46look so good together. If you're new to
  28. 0:48crocheting, on the label of your yarn,
  29. 0:49it should tell you the recommended hook
  30. 0:51size to use. So, this one is 6 mm, so
  31. 0:53that's what I'll be using today. It also
  32. 0:55has wash instructions on it. And like I
  33. 0:56said, I'll be using a 6 millm hook
  34. 0:58today. And finally, you'll just need a
  35. 1:00pair of scissors. Let's get started. So,
  36. 1:01to begin, you're going to get whichever
  37. 1:03color you want to start with. So, I want
  38. 1:04to start with pink today. The color you
  39. 1:06start with will be whatever color this
  40. 1:08top stripe is here. And to make it
  41. 1:09simple, like I said, we're not doing a
  42. 1:11magic circle. So, we're actually going
  43. 1:12to start off with a slip knot, which is
  44. 1:14very simple. So, what you're going to
  45. 1:16want to do is loop over the short bit of
  46. 1:18yarn over the long bit of yarn, just
  47. 1:21like that. Then you're going to put two
  48. 1:23fingers through the loop and grab the
  49. 1:25long bit of yarn and pull that through.
  50. 1:29Just like that. And if you've done it
  51. 1:30right, if you pull on both ends, it
  52. 1:32should just come undone like that. So,
  53. 1:33let me show you that again. You just
  54. 1:35loop over the short bit of yarn over the
  55. 1:37long bit of yarn. Put your two fingers
  56. 1:39through the loop and grab the long bit
  57. 1:42of yarn and pull. Just like that. And
  58. 1:44that is a slip knot. You're then going
  59. 1:46to grab your crochet hook and put it
  60. 1:48through the loop. and we're going to
  61. 1:49pull on the long bit of yarn to tighten
  62. 1:51the loop to the hook. Just like that.
  63. 1:53Then we are going to want to chain four.
  64. 1:56So to do a chain, you want to yarn over
  65. 1:58your hook. So just grab the yarn with
  66. 2:01your hook and pull that through the loop
  67. 2:04that's on your hook. A chain should just
  68. 2:07look like a little V. So we're going to
  69. 2:09do that again. We grab the yarn with our
  70. 2:12hook. I sort of twist my hook towards me
  71. 2:16and then pull it through the loop on my
  72. 2:18hook. Just like that. That's two chains.
  73. 2:20Now for the third one. Yarn over,
  74. 2:25pull through. That's three chains.
  75. 2:27Fourth one. Yarn over,
  76. 2:30pull through. That's four chains. One,
  77. 2:33two, three, four. Now, because this is a
  78. 2:36circular pattern, we want to connect
  79. 2:38this to make it a circle. So we are
  80. 2:40going to get our hook and put it through
  81. 2:43that first chain here. So this little
  82. 2:46bit here is the slip knot. And then you
  83. 2:49want to count one 2 3 4.
  84. 2:53So the first chain you did, just go
  85. 2:55through that there. Should have two
  86. 2:57little loops on your hook. You want to
  87. 3:00yarn over
  88. 3:02and pull
  89. 3:04through that first loop.
  90. 3:07and then pull through
  91. 3:10that second loop. You have now just
  92. 3:12connected your chains to make a little
  93. 3:15circle. I don't know if you can see
  94. 3:16there's a little hole in the middle
  95. 3:18there. And then once you've done that
  96. 3:19slip stitch, which is connecting the two
  97. 3:21chains together, you want to chain two.
  98. 3:24So yarn over,
  99. 3:27pull through that loop. That's one
  100. 3:29chain.
  101. 3:31Yarn over, pull through that loop.
  102. 3:34That's two chains. Now, you're going to
  103. 3:36work 10 double crochets into this
  104. 3:38circle. To do that, you're going to want
  105. 3:40to yarn over your hook and then insert
  106. 3:44your hook in the middle of this circle.
  107. 3:46So, it's not in any chain in particular.
  108. 3:48It's just in the middle of all the
  109. 3:49chains. And then grab your yarn
  110. 3:53and pull
  111. 3:55back through that hole in the middle.
  112. 3:57Yarn over.
  113. 3:59Go through the first two loops on your
  114. 4:01hook.
  115. 4:04Yarn over, go through the next two loops
  116. 4:08on your hook. And that is one double
  117. 4:10crochet. For this pattern, the two
  118. 4:12chains that you did does not count as a
  119. 4:13double crochet, but bear in mind for
  120. 4:16some patterns it does. But for this one,
  121. 4:17it does not. You're just going to be
  122. 4:18counting the actual double crochets. So
  123. 4:21that's one.
  124. 4:23Yarn over through that circle.
  125. 4:28Yarn over. Pull through.
  126. 4:32Yarn over, pull through two.
  127. 4:36Yarn over, pull through two.
  128. 4:39And also, please feel free to slow this
  129. 4:41down wherever you want. And also rewind
  130. 4:44it as much as you want. And if you look
  131. 4:46from above, a double crochet will look
  132. 4:48like a V as well. So, there's two here.
  133. 4:51So, for the third one, we're just going
  134. 4:52to do it again. So, yarn over through
  135. 4:55that circle. Yarn over, pull through.
  136. 5:00Yarn over, pull through two.
  137. 5:03Yarn over, pull through two. And that's
  138. 5:06our third one. We're just going to
  139. 5:07repeat this until we get 10 double
  140. 5:09crochets. Yarn over, through. Yarn over,
  141. 5:14pull through. Yarn over, pull through
  142. 5:17two loops. Yarn over, pull through two
  143. 5:19loops.
  144. 5:24And the more you do this, the more you
  145. 5:25will see the circle that you are going
  146. 5:27to crochet into.
  147. 5:31So, we've got two more left to do. We're
  148. 5:33just going to yarn over, go through that
  149. 5:35circle,
  150. 5:37pull through. Yarn over, pull through
  151. 5:40two. Yarn over, pull through two. Got
  152. 5:43one more to go.
  153. 5:46Yarn over, through that hole. Yarn over,
  154. 5:48pull through. Yarn over, pull through
  155. 5:51two. Yarn over, pull through two. So,
  156. 5:54that is 10 double crochets. Now, to
  157. 5:56connect these into a circle, you're
  158. 5:58going to do another slip stitch. So,
  159. 6:00you'll be able to see the two chains
  160. 6:02that you did at the beginning of this
  161. 6:04row. So, you're going to insert your
  162. 6:06hook just between those two chains and
  163. 6:10your first double crochet. So, not into
  164. 6:12any stitch in particular, just in that
  165. 6:14space between them. And then you're
  166. 6:16going to yarn over, pull through that
  167. 6:19space,
  168. 6:20and then just go through the loop on
  169. 6:22your hook. And there is your first row.
  170. 6:25To make sure you've got the right amount
  171. 6:26of stitches, you can look from above and
  172. 6:30you can count them. So, one, two, three,
  173. 6:34four, five, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. So, now it's
  174. 6:41time to change color to the next row.
  175. 6:42So, to change color on your hook, what
  176. 6:44you want to do is get your new color for
  177. 6:47the next row, and you want to leave a
  178. 6:49good few inches, so about here, and just
  179. 6:51hold it to the back of your project like
  180. 6:53this. Then you want to yarn over the new
  181. 6:56color and pull through that loop on your
  182. 7:00hook. So it should just look like this.
  183. 7:02Then you want to hold
  184. 7:05the little tail of that next color and
  185. 7:07pull on the first color to tighten it.
  186. 7:12Just like that. And just sort of play
  187. 7:14with it so it tightens to your hook. But
  188. 7:16that's just a really simple way to
  189. 7:18change the color on your hook. And for
  190. 7:20this project, we're not going to cut off
  191. 7:21each color. Each row we do, we're just
  192. 7:23going to leave it. So eventually when
  193. 7:25it's done, if you turn the hat inside
  194. 7:27out,
  195. 7:29it will just look like this on the row
  196. 7:32where you change. And that just saves
  197. 7:33you from tying the colors off each row.
  198. 7:36But from the outside, you really can't
  199. 7:37tell any difference. So once you have
  200. 7:39your second row color on, you're going
  201. 7:41to want to chain two. The chain two is
  202. 7:43like to start the height for the next
  203. 7:45row. So, we're going to yarn over,
  204. 7:49pull through. That's one chain.
  205. 7:52Yarn over, pull through. That's the
  206. 7:55second chain. And for this next row,
  207. 7:57we're going to increase in every stitch.
  208. 7:59An increase means you add another double
  209. 8:01crochet into what you were already
  210. 8:03doing. So, because we did 10 double
  211. 8:06crochets on this first row, this second
  212. 8:08row should be 20 double crochets. So,
  213. 8:10the second row, we are going to be
  214. 8:11working two double crochets into each
  215. 8:13stitch. So to do this, you're going to
  216. 8:15yarn over,
  217. 8:18and we're going to go through that first
  218. 8:22double crochet here.
  219. 8:24It's the one right next to where you're
  220. 8:27starting.
  221. 8:29And it should look like a little V on
  222. 8:31top of your hook.
  223. 8:34And then you're going to yarn over, pull
  224. 8:36through. So you should have three little
  225. 8:39loops on your hook.
  226. 8:41Yarn over, pull through two.
  227. 8:45Yarn over, pull through two. So that's
  228. 8:48one double crochet into that stitch. And
  229. 8:50we are going to work another one in as
  230. 8:52well. So we're going to yarn over, go
  231. 8:55through that same stitch that we went
  232. 8:57through that we went through for the
  233. 8:59first one.
  234. 9:01Yarn over, pull through.
  235. 9:05Yarn over, pull through two.
  236. 9:08Yarn over, pull through two. So that is
  237. 9:11two double crochets in that same stitch.
  238. 9:14And we're going to do that for each
  239. 9:15stitch for this row. So we're going to
  240. 9:17yarn over, go into this next stitch
  241. 9:19here,
  242. 9:21yarn over, pull through,
  243. 9:24yarn over, pull through two,
  244. 9:28yarn over, pull through two. That's your
  245. 9:31first one in that stitch. So for the
  246. 9:33second one, yarn over, go through that
  247. 9:36same stitch here. Yarn over, pull
  248. 9:40through. Yarn over, pull through two.
  249. 9:44Yarn over, pull through two. So that's
  250. 9:47our first four double crochets done. And
  251. 9:49we're going to carry that on throughout
  252. 9:51the whole row.
  253. 9:54Like I said, please feel free to slow
  254. 9:56this down whenever you want so you can
  255. 9:58see the details and also feel free to
  256. 10:01rewind it as well. So, like I said, for
  257. 10:03this row, we're just doing two double
  258. 10:05crochets into each stitch.
  259. 10:07The reason we increase each row is to
  260. 10:10make the circle wider and wider. If we
  261. 10:12didn't increase, it would just go up
  262. 10:14like this. So, now I have just finished
  263. 10:16that second row. We are going to count
  264. 10:18to make sure we have 20 stitches. Like I
  265. 10:21said, don't include those first two
  266. 10:22chains. So, we've got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
  267. 10:3010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20. So, if
  268. 10:37you're just starting off crochet, I
  269. 10:39would definitely recommend counting your
  270. 10:41stitches every row just to make sure you
  271. 10:42haven't done more than you should or
  272. 10:44less than you should. So, now to connect
  273. 10:45this, we're going to do another slip
  274. 10:47stitch. So you're just so you're just
  275. 10:49going to insert your hook into the space
  276. 10:51between the first two chains and the
  277. 10:52first double crochet. Yarn over, pull
  278. 10:55through,
  279. 10:57and pull through that loop. And that is
  280. 10:59your second row all complete. Now time
  281. 11:01for the third row where we're going to
  282. 11:03switch back to our original color. So
  283. 11:04switching back is just going to be the
  284. 11:06same as how we did it on the first one.
  285. 11:08So we're going to grab the first color
  286. 11:10we used. And while doing this, I would
  287. 11:12recommend having those two balls of yarn
  288. 11:14on one side of each other just to make
  289. 11:16sure that they don't get knotted
  290. 11:18together. Grab that first color
  291. 11:21and yarn over and pull through that
  292. 11:24loop. And then we're going to tighten
  293. 11:27that second color. Just like that. And
  294. 11:30then tighten the first color to our
  295. 11:33hook. This can be tricky at first, but
  296. 11:34then once you've got the hang of it, it
  297. 11:35is really, really simple. Like I said,
  298. 11:37you can just keep practicing as many
  299. 11:38times as you want. So now for our third
  300. 11:40row, we are going to increase every
  301. 11:42other stitch. So for this second row, we
  302. 11:44increased every stitch. This one, we are
  303. 11:46going to increase every other stitch. So
  304. 11:48in the first stitch, we're going to
  305. 11:50double crochet one and then two and then
  306. 11:53one and then two and then one and then
  307. 11:55two. So to start this row off, we're
  308. 11:56going to chain two. So yarn over, pull
  309. 11:59through, yarn over, pull through. That's
  310. 12:02your first two chains. And then for your
  311. 12:04first double crochet, we're going to
  312. 12:06yarn over. Go through your first stitch
  313. 12:08here.
  314. 12:11Yarn over, pull through. Yarn over, pull
  315. 12:14through two. Yarn over, pull through
  316. 12:16two. So that's one double crochet in
  317. 12:19that first stitch. Then for this next
  318. 12:21one, we're going to do two double
  319. 12:22crochets.
  320. 12:27So that's one. And then we're going to
  321. 12:28do another one in that same stitch.
  322. 12:33That's two. So, in the first one, we did
  323. 12:36one double crochet. In the second one,
  324. 12:37we did two. And as you're doing this,
  325. 12:39it'll be really easy to see this as
  326. 12:41well. You'll sort of get the hang of
  327. 12:43what it's supposed to look like. So, the
  328. 12:45next one will just be one double crochet
  329. 12:47in this stitch.
  330. 12:51One. And then the next one will be two.
  331. 12:58And we're just going to alternate this
  332. 12:59for the whole row.
  333. 13:05Just like that. So, one double crochet,
  334. 13:08two double crochets in the same stitch.
  335. 13:11One, two, one, two. And I will meet you
  336. 13:16back at the end of this row. So, I have
  337. 13:18one stitch left, which will be a double
  338. 13:20one. So, I'm going to do two double
  339. 13:22crochets into this last stitch.
  340. 13:26One.
  341. 13:29Two.
  342. 13:31And that is our third row complete. To
  343. 13:33make sure you have done it correct, you
  344. 13:34can go back and just look to see if
  345. 13:36you've done one, two, one, two, one,
  346. 13:40two. Um, and just go around the whole
  347. 13:42circle just to make sure you haven't
  348. 13:44accidentally done two doubles next to
  349. 13:46each other or two singles next to each
  350. 13:47other. And then to close off this third
  351. 13:50row, we're going to do another slip
  352. 13:51stitch. So just go through this space
  353. 13:54next to the two chains,
  354. 13:56pull through your yarn, and pull that
  355. 13:59through that loop. And that is your
  356. 14:02third row complete. The amount of times
  357. 14:04you do the increase rows depends on how
  358. 14:06big your head is really. Um, so you just
  359. 14:09want to like hold this on top of your
  360. 14:11head and just figure out when you want
  361. 14:13to start crocheting it down. So, for
  362. 14:15example, for mine, I did five rows and
  363. 14:18then started just not increasing, which
  364. 14:21just makes it go straight down. So, the
  365. 14:23bit we're doing now is this top bit
  366. 14:24here, which is kind of like the
  367. 14:27circumference of your head. And then
  368. 14:28once you're happy with that, you can
  369. 14:30then just double crochet into each
  370. 14:33stitch without increasing. And then that
  371. 14:36will make it go down like this. So,
  372. 14:37yeah, for my head size, I do about five
  373. 14:40rows of increase and then stop
  374. 14:42increasing. So for our fourth row, going
  375. 14:44to grab our other color
  376. 14:48and yarn over and pull through that
  377. 14:50other color.
  378. 14:52Tighten the pink and tighten the new
  379. 14:55color to your hook. And we're ready for
  380. 14:57our fourth row. So just like the other
  381. 14:59rows, we're going to start off with two
  382. 15:01chains. Just like that. So for this row,
  383. 15:04we are going to be increasing every
  384. 15:06third stitch. So, we're going to be
  385. 15:08doing one double crochet in this one,
  386. 15:11one double crochet in this one, and then
  387. 15:13two double crochets. One, one, two, one,
  388. 15:16one, two. Just like that. So, we're
  389. 15:18going to yarn over,
  390. 15:22go through your first stitch here. Yarn
  391. 15:25over, pull through. Yarn over, pull
  392. 15:28through two. Yarn over, pull through
  393. 15:30two. That's your first double crochet.
  394. 15:32Now, onto the next stitch, we're going
  395. 15:34to do another double crochet. not in the
  396. 15:37same stitch, in the next one. So, we've
  397. 15:39got two single double crochets next to
  398. 15:41each other. That's a mouthful. And then
  399. 15:44for this next one, we're going to do two
  400. 15:46double crochets in the same stitch. So,
  401. 15:50yarn over.
  402. 15:52That's one.
  403. 15:58That's two. So, this is what you're
  404. 15:59going to be repeating this whole round.
  405. 16:02One double crochet, one double crochet,
  406. 16:04two double crochets in the same stitch.
  407. 16:06So, just repeat that the whole round and
  408. 16:08then I'll meet you back at the end. If
  409. 16:10you still feel like you're struggling
  410. 16:11with the double crochet stitch, like I
  411. 16:12said at the beginning of the video, I
  412. 16:14have got a video on my beginner's
  413. 16:16playlist about the basics of a double
  414. 16:18crochet stitch and how to do that. So,
  415. 16:20definitely go check that out if you're
  416. 16:22still struggling with it. So, I've got
  417. 16:23the last few double crochets to do on
  418. 16:24this fourth row. So, I'm going to do one
  419. 16:28double crochet in this stitch, one
  420. 16:31double crochet in the next stitch,
  421. 16:35and then two double crochets in this
  422. 16:37last stitch here. [snorts]
  423. 16:48And like I said on the last row, if you
  424. 16:50want to make sure you haven't done too
  425. 16:52many or too little, you can just go back
  426. 16:55and make sure you've done one, one, two,
  427. 16:59one, one, two, one, one, two, and so on.
  428. 17:03And then now to close this fourth row,
  429. 17:05we're going to do a slip stitch again.
  430. 17:07So just go through that space next to
  431. 17:09the two chains,
  432. 17:11pull that yarn through, and then through
  433. 17:14that loop. And that is your fourth row
  434. 17:17done. Now, depending on the size of your
  435. 17:19yarn, you could be on your fourth row
  436. 17:21and it could be this small still. It
  437. 17:22depends. It just depends on the size of
  438. 17:24your yarn. This yarn is quite chunky, so
  439. 17:27I don't need to do too many rows for me
  440. 17:29to stop increasing and for it to fit the
  441. 17:31circumference of my head. Um, so it
  442. 17:33really just depends. You just want to
  443. 17:34keep holding it up to the top of your
  444. 17:36head and seeing if you're ready to stop
  445. 17:37increasing. Um, so for me, I've got one
  446. 17:40more row to go until I stop increasing.
  447. 17:43I'm going to grab that next color,
  448. 17:46pull through,
  449. 17:49and tighten that last color and tighten
  450. 17:52this next color. Just like that. And if
  451. 17:54I flip this around, you can see the
  452. 17:57colors just sort of carry through there,
  453. 18:00but you really can't tell from the
  454. 18:01front, so it's not really a big deal. So
  455. 18:03for this fifth row, we're going to again
  456. 18:06start by doing two chains.
  457. 18:10And then for this row, we're going to do
  458. 18:12one, one, one, two. So we're going to be
  459. 18:15increasing every fourth stitch. So this
  460. 18:17second row was every stitch. This third
  461. 18:20row was every other stitch. This one was
  462. 18:23every third. And this one is every
  463. 18:25fourth. And if you need to carry on
  464. 18:26increasing after this row, it just
  465. 18:28carries on that pattern. So then it's
  466. 18:30every fifth, every sixth. um so on. But
  467. 18:34like I said, this is my last row of
  468. 18:35increasing. So, you're going to yarn
  469. 18:37over, go through that first stitch
  470. 18:39there, and we're going to be doing one
  471. 18:42double crochet. And then the next
  472. 18:44stitch, one double crochet.
  473. 18:47The next stitch, one double crochet,
  474. 18:52and the next stitch is two double
  475. 18:54crochets in the same stitch.
  476. 19:00And that will be the pattern that we
  477. 19:02repeat over this row. So it's one, one,
  478. 19:05one, two. So we're now on the final few
  479. 19:08stitches for this fifth row. So we're
  480. 19:10going to do one double crochet, one
  481. 19:14double crochet in this next stitch, one
  482. 19:16double crochet in this next stitch, and
  483. 19:19then in that final stitch, we're going
  484. 19:21to do two double crochets.
  485. 19:29And that is our fifth row complete. Now
  486. 19:32for me, that would be my final row of
  487. 19:34increasing. But if you still need to
  488. 19:36increase on the next row, you will do
  489. 19:38increase every fifth stitch. So you do
  490. 19:40double crochet, double crochet, double
  491. 19:43crochet, double crochet, two double
  492. 19:45crochets in the same stitch, and then
  493. 19:47carry that on. And then the next row,
  494. 19:49every sixth stitch, every seventh
  495. 19:51stitch, every eighth stitch, so on. But
  496. 19:53this is where my increasing ends. So for
  497. 19:55this row, we're going to slip stitch to
  498. 19:59connect it. Again, please feel free to
  499. 20:01slow this down if you need to or rewind.
  500. 20:04And then we're going to be doing the
  501. 20:05exact same thing and changing color like
  502. 20:08we have done. Tighten that color.
  503. 20:10Tighten that color. Because for this
  504. 20:12row, we're not increasing anymore. We're
  505. 20:13just going to do one double crochet in
  506. 20:16each stitch. So that's what you do when
  507. 20:18you don't want to increase anymore. So
  508. 20:20we start off with the two chains like we
  509. 20:22do for every row. And then we are just
  510. 20:24going to double crochet into each
  511. 20:27stitch. So this is when it gets really
  512. 20:29really simple. You don't need to think
  513. 20:31about counting your increases, anything
  514. 20:32like that. You're literally just double
  515. 20:34crocheting into each stitch. I think
  516. 20:37this is when it's like the most fun as
  517. 20:38well cuz you can just put a TV show on
  518. 20:40and not think about counting and just
  519. 20:43sort of do it in each stitch, which is
  520. 20:45really fun. And we're just going to
  521. 20:47carry on doing that for the rest of this
  522. 20:50row. And then you will start to see your
  523. 20:53hat growing downwards. And as you're
  524. 20:56doing each row, you can start trying it
  525. 20:57on. Um, and then it's just up to you
  526. 20:59when you stop really. So you're just
  527. 21:01doing one double crochet into each
  528. 21:03stitch. I've got one more stitch for my
  529. 21:07first row with no increase. And then
  530. 21:10once you've done that, you're going to
  531. 21:11slip stitch just the same way we've been
  532. 21:13doing the whole time. And then even
  533. 21:15after that first row with no increase,
  534. 21:17you'll be able to see that the hat is
  535. 21:18starting to take its shape. So obviously
  536. 21:20it's not going to fit yet, but as you
  537. 21:22start adding more and more rows gets to
  538. 21:24about here, you can start trying it on
  539. 21:26to see when you want to end it. Carry on
  540. 21:28alternating colors, just doing one
  541. 21:30double crochet into each stitch. With
  542. 21:32trying it on every few rows just to see
  543. 21:34when you want to stop. So for this next
  544. 21:36row, I'm going to change the color just
  545. 21:38like I have been doing this whole time.
  546. 21:40chain two and I'm just going to do one
  547. 21:43double crochet in each stitch. This
  548. 21:44pattern is really, really easy to sort
  549. 21:46of get the hang of. Every row, you're
  550. 21:49literally changing color, chaining two,
  551. 21:51and either doing the increases or just
  552. 21:53doing one double crochet in each stitch.
  553. 21:55So, from here, it's really simple. You
  554. 21:57literally just carry this on, one double
  555. 21:59crochet in each stitch, change color,
  556. 22:02chain two, and carry it on until you're
  557. 22:04happy with the length that it's at. So
  558. 22:06after doing rows and trying them on
  559. 22:09between rows, I am almost done. So I
  560. 22:12have a few more double crochets to do.
  561. 22:17And that will be my last one. And
  562. 22:19overall with this chunky yarn and a 6 mm
  563. 22:22hook, I did five rows of increase and
  564. 22:26five rows of non- increase. Obviously,
  565. 22:28this can vary a lot with the size of
  566. 22:30wool and the size of your hook. For
  567. 22:33example, these ones I made I made with a
  568. 22:35slightly smaller hook. So, I had to do a
  569. 22:36few more rows. I used the exact same
  570. 22:38yarn with both of these, but because I
  571. 22:39used a bigger hook with this, the rows
  572. 22:42are slightly bigger. But when I used a
  573. 22:44smaller one, they're slightly thinner.
  574. 22:45So, I had to do a few more rows. So, to
  575. 22:47tie this off, we are going to do our
  576. 22:49final slip stitch. So, we're going to
  577. 22:51put our hook through this space here.
  578. 22:55Pull through. And pull through. And we
  579. 22:57are then going to chain one. And we're
  580. 23:01going to get our scissors and cut off
  581. 23:02leaving a few inches spare. And we're
  582. 23:05also going to cut off the other color as
  583. 23:07well, leaving a few inches spare. And
  584. 23:09now we've done that, we can just pull
  585. 23:11the hook out like that. And we can
  586. 23:14tighten this chain like that. Now we are
  587. 23:17going to turn it inside out for a
  588. 23:19second. So this is what it looks like on
  589. 23:21the inside. So it's really simple to tie
  590. 23:23off these ends. We are literally going
  591. 23:26to grab the first color we used and the
  592. 23:28second color we used and we're going to
  593. 23:29knot them together. So we're just going
  594. 23:31to cross them. Put this through here.
  595. 23:34and just tie it like that. Don't do it
  596. 23:37too tight otherwise it will tighten your
  597. 23:40project like that. So just leave it
  598. 23:42quite loose and then you can do it
  599. 23:44again. And this one can be quite tight.
  600. 23:47Just like that. And then you can knot
  601. 23:49that as many times as you want to make
  602. 23:51it secure. I usually do it about three
  603. 23:53or four times. So that's feeling quite
  604. 23:55secure for me. So once you've knotted
  605. 23:57that a few times and make sure it's
  606. 23:58really really tight, you can then cut
  607. 24:02off really close to the knot.
  608. 24:07And it should look like that. And that
  609. 24:08is not going to move. We can then do the
  610. 24:10exact same for the middle part. So we're
  611. 24:13just going to tie that.
  612. 24:16Some of these can be quite short as
  613. 24:18well. So just bear that in mind as
  614. 24:20you're making it. We're just going to
  615. 24:21knot them
  616. 24:23a few times. and then cut them off.
  617. 24:31And then we can turn it back.
  618. 24:38And that is our hat all complete. I have
  619. 24:40become so obsessed with making these.
  620. 24:42I've made so many different color
  621. 24:43combinations. My favorite one I've made
  622. 24:45is actually probably the red and pink. I
  623. 24:47think it looks so funky. Thank you so
