How to Crochet A Hat: Sock Monkey Inspired

By | March 8, 2016

This Sock Hat Tutorial will take you through Making a 6 – 12 Month Sizes. All sizes of hats including New Born to Adult Male is available for this design. Each of the hats start off the same way and Mikey explains how to read the pattern so you can make the size you need. Get the free diagram, pattern and more at http://thecrochetcrowd.com/crochet-sock-hats-all-sizes/

Any talented advanced beginner (or intermediate) knitter can learn to knit these basic, yet beautiful fingerless gloves for an adult. If you chose a really nice yarn (medium thickness/size #4) – you will be amazed how nice they will come out. I used Paton’s worsted Classic Wool, but you can use any fancy yarn of your choice that requires size 7 knitting needles. I used double pointed needles, but you can use circular needles too (use magic loop). This video is very detailed with several knitting tips, and practically a free pattern.
Gauge: 4″x4″ = 20 sts x 28 rows

    Was having trouble with a different pattern. I'm still learning how to knit. Happened upon this video in a search about thumb gussets. Was very easy to understand when you explained and demonstrated the technique. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and provide great instructions! I feel confident that I can finish my fingerless mitts ?

    This video taught me a lot as I've not made gloves yet. However, it was hard to watch the actual stitching as you kept moving out of the view of the camera and I couldn't see what the needles were doing.

    hello, thank you so much for this super video. It's my first time using DPneedles and first gloves, so your video was a treasure! would like to ask you if there is any difference between left and right glove…(when adding stitches I suppose?????)

  14. Jeremy Chambers

    Can I make these with 7" Size 5 needles? What modifications would have to be made if I did use them?

  15. Darlene Dunn

    PERFECT!! Instructions…..For any beginner or 1st time for knitting fingerless gloves this video is the one to follow. She is accurate on the number of rows and states the number of sts in each row. I'm more of visual of learner and no instructions were missed. Well done.
