Yes, much smaller for sure.

@@ByJenniDesigns thank you so much for the response! Love your videos!

You're welcome, thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment. 😊

You could do either but I would go with 11 in magic circle instead of 12, otherwise it may end up too large. Using 11 should give you another 1 1/2-2".

@@ByJenniDesigns Thank you !

The 10mm hook is the correct size for this pattern but you may just be crocheting a little looser than I do. You may want to go down another size or remove some of the increases.

Hi Bea! Yes, if you're using bulkier yarn it will definitely turn out much larger. I've only ever made this pattern with the yarn I suggested in the video. If you're going to use bulkier yarn you'll need to adjust the increases and rows. Sorry this pattern didn't work out for you.

@@ByJenniDesignsI did use the Bernat Softee Chunky Yarn. So not sure what happened there. I also used a 9mm hook.

Oh, interesting. Maybe you crochet your stitches looser than I do? I'm so sorry I can't be of more help, it's hard to figure out without a photo.

Hi Lesley, it's hard to help without being able to see the piece but are you possibly working 2 hdc, 1 hdc, 2 hdc, hdc..all the way around? Because that would give you 45 hdc at the end. For this row you should work a repeat of 2 hdc, hdc, hdc, 2 hdc, hdc, hdc...keep following that pattern all the way around and you should end with the 40 hdc. I hope this helps!

@@ByJenniDesigns thankyou that's what i've done😵‍💫

I'm so glad I could help!! 🙂 Happy crocheting!

Hi, this is the gray heather colorway. :)

Hi Nancy, if you get gauge while crocheting I'd suggest adding maybe 6 increases for a 24" circumference. 🙂

Ok great thank you for getting back to me. I appreciate it. 😊

@@ByJenniDesigns how do we add increases

Hi, you can add some additional stitches in the 5th row. 3 increases should make the hat roughly an inch larger in circumference. If you need it even larger, 2 inches, you could change row 5 and work up this instead: Row 5: Ch 1, *2 dc, dc in next 3* Repeat from *to* around. Join with ss. (50) I hope this helps! Good luck!

That's so great, Dawn! You're welcome. 😁

Hi! If you get gauge this will fit a circumference of 22-23". I'm sorry, I haven't use a 8 or 9mm hook with this pattern so it's really hard for me to advise you on that.

My base is not coming 11cm...it is showing less than that... how i will increase...pls guide me

In this case, I usually suggest going up a hook size.

What is the total no of chains after 5th n 6th row. I m knitting this pattern. Can u pls tell me

Hi, Every row starts with 1 chain.

Hi Grayce, unfortunately, it would be best to start over with the new hook size.

@@ByJenniDesigns Thanks, you're awesome.

Aw thanks! 🥰 You're very welcome!

@@ByJenniDesigns at the end when you’re crocheting the last 18 rows do you still do a slip stitch after each row?

Yes, that's correct. You slip stitch to join the last stitch to the first stich. 🙂

Oh, interesting idea. 🙂 I've never seen that before!

Hi Shelley, using a bulky 5 in place of the super bulky 6 most likely would result in a hat that's too small. 🫤

I am using a chunky 5 with your 10mm hook. It looks so big. Yes, I gauged it too. My last question is you said to complete 18 rows. Is that from center crown down?

Wow, I'm surprised by that! Yes, the rows are counted from the center down.

The link to the written pattern is in the description. It says 19 rows. Hope that helps.

Hi Barbara, this pattern will not work with size 4 yarn. I am actually working on the tutorial for a very similar men's hat that does use size 4 yarn though, what a coincidence! I'm hoping to have the video up this week but if you would like the written pattern now, it's on my blog here: byjennidesigns.blogspot.com/2014/12/mens-basic-beanie-folded-beanie-or.html?m=1

@@ByJenniDesigns thank you 😊

@@barbararickert9678 No problem, you're welcome. 🙂

@@ByJenniDesigns hi I am following your crochet but I am using hoke number 6 so how many double crochet to should to start... I ma trying but is work its too little it doesn't much on the measurement.. Hope you help me to Fine out how..

Hi Gilbert, Unfortunately, I don't think a 6mm hook is going to work for this pattern. Sorry about that.
