00:00Now let's crochet the bunny's hood.
00:02The main part of the hood follows the same pattern for both designs.
00:06For the carrot version, you'll need to crochet three leaves,
00:10while the strawberry design requires making a strawberry calyx.
00:14After crocheting, embroider decorative patterns on the surface.
00:19I'll use the strawberry version as an example to walk you through the crochet steps.
00:24Take red yarn, begin by making a magic ring.
00:28Wrap the yarn around your left hand.
00:30Make a ring on your middle finger.
00:37Insert hook into the ring.
00:39Grab the yarn and pull through.
00:42Then make one chain stitch to secure.
00:45Since we're making a hood using double crochet,
00:47the turning chain requires three chain stitches.
00:50We've already made one chain stitch to secure,
00:53so now make two more chain stitches.
00:56These three chain stitches will count as your first double crochet.
01:00Now let's learn the double crochet stitch.
01:02Yarn over the hook.
01:04Insert the hook into the ring, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
01:08Now there are three loops on hook.
01:14Yarn over and pull through the first two loops.
01:16Yarn over once more and pull through the remaining two loops.
01:27Let's take a look.
01:28This is the three chain turning chain.
01:31And here's the completed double crochet I just made.
01:35The turning chain also counts toward the total stitch count.
01:40Therefore, place a stitch marker on the third chain to mark our first double crochet.
01:44One, two, three, we need to place a stitch marker on the third chain stitch.
01:56Let me confirm again.
01:58This is the three chain turning chain, and this is a regular double crochet.
02:03For this round, we need to work a total of 12 double crochets.
02:09Since we've already completed two stitches here, we'll need to work 10 more double crochets.
02:15Yarn over the hook, insert the hook into the ring, yarn over again and pull through the loop.
02:21Yarn over and pull through the first two loops.
02:24Yarn over once more and pull through the remaining two loops.
02:28Continue using this method to work the remaining stitches.
02:30Remove the hook and verify if 12 double crochet stitches have been completed.
02:57Let's count the stitches.
02:58Starting with the three chain turning chain as the first stitch, count forward.
03:04One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
03:15Each vertical post here represents a double crochet.
03:18After completing 12 double crochets, pull the yarn tail to tighten the magic ring.
03:23Then, work a slip stitch at the marked stitch.
03:35Special attention should be paid to the slip stitch placement.
03:38Insert the hook into the chain space, catching both the half loop of the chain and its back bump.
03:52There are two strands.
03:58Yarn over and pull through all loops.
04:00Lift the hook to tighten the slip stitch.
04:04This completes the first round of the hood.
04:08Next, we'll crochet the second round.
04:10The pattern for this round is to make 12 sets of double crochet increases on the 12 double crochets from round one.
04:17First, work three chain stitches as your turning chain.
04:21Place a stitch marker on the third chain stitch.
04:23Then, work another double crochet in the same stitch where you made your turning chain.
04:43This counts as making two double crochets in one stitch, completing your first double crochet increase.
04:51Next, locate the next stitch.
04:54Here.
05:00This is the V at the top corresponding to the double crochet.
05:05Work a double crochet.
05:12Then, work another double crochet in the same stitch.
05:15Continue this pattern of making two double crochets in each remaining stitch around until you complete the round.
05:27The V at the top corresponding to the double crochet.
05:28Then, work another double crochet.
05:29Then, work another double crochet.
05:29Then, work another double crochet.
05:30Then, work another double crochet.
05:31Then, work another double crochet.
05:32Then, work another double crochet.
05:33Then, work another double crochet.
05:34Then, work another double crochet.
05:35Then, work another double crochet.
05:36Then, work another double crochet.
05:37Then, work another double crochet.
05:38Then, work another double crochet.
05:39Then, work another double crochet.
05:40Then, work another double crochet.
05:41Then, work another double crochet.
05:42Then, work another double crochet.
05:43Then, work another double crochet.
05:44Then, work another double crochet.
05:45Then, work another double crochet.
05:46Then, work another double crochet.
05:47Then, work another double crochet.
05:48Then, work another double crochet.
05:49Then, work another double crochet.
05:50Each original stitch from round one should now have two double crochets made into it.
06:12Once you finish this round, you should have 24 stitches, including the three chain turning
06:17chain.
06:20Then work a slip stitch in the third chain.
06:24Remove stitch marker, insert the hook into the chain space, catching both the half loop
06:31of the chain and its back bump.
06:33This is the half loop and this is the back bump.
06:36There are two strands.
06:38Yarn over and pull through all loops and pull tight.
06:42Now we have finished round two.
06:44Next is round three.
06:46In this round we need to make one double crochet, one double crochet increase twelve times.
06:52First work three chain stitches and mark the third chain.
06:56Count these three chain stitches as the first double crochet of the round.
07:00So next stitch is double crochet increase.
07:05One double crochet first, then work another double crochet in the same hole.
07:11So let's repeat the sequence of one double crochet, one double crochet increase until
07:17the end, a total of twelve times, and there will be thirty-six stitches in this round.
07:22double crochet, double crochet increase, repeat them until the end.
07:34As before, work a slip stitch in the third chain,
08:04And now we have finished round three, now we'll proceed to round four.
08:14The pattern for round four is slightly different.
08:17First work ten sets of two double crochets followed by one increase.
08:22For the remaining six stitches, work six double crochets without any increases or decreases.
08:29First make three chain stitches and mark the third chain.
08:33Count these three chain stitches as the first double crochet of the round.
08:39So next work a double crochet.
08:41After two double crochet, next we need to make a double crochet increase.
09:03So let's repeat the sequence of two double crochet, one double crochet increase ten times.
09:09Take long, put a double crochet.
09:13Here we go.
09:18Take long, get done.
09:20Take long, get done.
09:24Take long, let's get done.
09:31Take long, get over.
09:34After repeating 10 times, there should be 6 stitches remaining here.
09:45Work a double crochet into each of these 6 stitches.
09:521, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
10:06As before, work a slip stitch in the third chain.
10:10After completing this round, the total number of stitches will be 46.
10:15And now we have finished round 4.
10:19Next is round 5.
10:21In this round, we will work 42 double crochets.
10:26Start with 3 chains to count as the first double crochet.
10:35Then work 41 more double crochet, leaving the last 4 stitches unworked.
10:41First complete 42 double crochet stitches.
10:46Counting the starting chain as part of the total stitch count.
10:49Leave the last 4 stitches unworked.
11:03This completes round 4.
11:17At this stage, you can test the hood size by fitting it on the bunny.
11:20If sized correctly, the hood should fit snugly around the ear area.
11:32If your hood turns out too big, try tightening your tension or using a smaller hook size.
11:37If it's too small, loosen your tension or switch to a larger hook.
11:42If the hood size is correct, proceed to the next step by crocheting row 5.
11:47Starting from this row, we will work in rows back and forth instead of in the round.
11:54Begin with 3 chain stitches as the turning chain.
11:59Place a stitch marker on the third chain stitch.
12:09Turn the work and crochet 14 double crochet stitches.
12:13Including the turning chain, the total number of stitches should be 15.
12:18Locate the next stitch.
12:26This will be the first stitch, followed by the second stitch.
12:35Be at the top of the second double crochet and work a double crochet into it.
12:44Continue crocheting double crochet stitches until the total number of stitches reaches 15.
13:00Count the stitches to verify there are 15 stitches in total.
13:20Next, chain 4 stitches.
13:30Then skip the next 4 stitches, 1, 2, 3, 4, and work a double crochet into the 5th stitch.
13:50This creates a hole for through the bunny's ear.
13:54You will notice we've skipped 4 stitches here.
13:59Continue by working 3 double crochets.
14:13After completing these 4 double crochets, chain 4 stitches again.
14:22Using the same method, skip 4 stitches, 1, 2, 3, 4, and work a double crochet into the 5th stitch.
14:37For the remaining stitches, work double crochets until the end.
14:41This side should also have 15 stitches to maintain symmetry with the opposite side.
15:06Select the insertion point for the final stitch to avoid missing it.
15:14The 3 chain stitches here are on the wrong side.
15:17Insert the hook into the back bump and half loop to crochet a double crochet.
15:22This is the appearance after completing row 6.
15:26Here's the wrong side and this is the right side.
15:35Now let's proceed row 7.
15:37Start with 3 chain stitches as the turning chain.
15:43Mark the third chain.
15:51Turn your work.
15:54Crochet 14 double crochets first.
16:00This is the right side and this is the right side.
16:30When reaching the chain section, work 4 double crochet into the chain space.
16:37Insert the hook under the entire chain to crochet.
16:441, 2, 3, 4.
16:57Next, crochet 4 double crochet into each corresponding stitch.
17:13For the chain section on the other side, repeat the same method.
17:18Work 4 double crochet into the chain space.
17:30Then continue crocheting 15 double crochet until the end of the row.
17:431, 2, 3, 4.
18:05The last stitch.
18:10Insert the hook into the back bump and half loop to crochet a double crochet.
18:18And now we have finished row 7.
18:22Next is row 8.
18:23The pattern for this row is 4 double crochets, 1 double crochet decrease.
18:29Repeated 7 times.
18:32Then 3 is the turning chain.
18:35Mark the third chain.
18:42Turn the piece.
18:45Work 3 double crochet.
18:501, 2, 3.
18:56Also, including the turning chain, we have already completed 4 double crochets here.
19:01Next, we will learn how to make a double crochet decrease.
19:05Yarn over the hook, insert your hook into the next stitch.
19:09Yarn over and pull up a loop.
19:11Then yarn over and pull through the first 2 loops.
19:14This current state is called an unfinished double crochet.
19:17We'll leave the remaining 2 loops unworked for now.
19:21Yarn over the hook, insert into the next stitch.
19:24Yarn over and pull up a loop.
19:26Yarn over once more and pull through the first 2 loops.
19:30Now we've created 2 unfinished double crochets.
19:33Finally, yarn over the hook and pull through all remaining loops on the hook.
19:39Now, the 2 double crochets have been joined together.
19:42This completes your double crochet decrease.
19:45Let me show you one more time.
19:47First work 4 double crochets.
19:501,
19:542,
19:583,
20:024, after that work a double crochet decrease.
20:05Yarn over, insert the hook, yarn over and pull up a loop.
20:09Then yarn over and pull through the first 2 loops.
20:12Make another one, yarn over, insert the next stitch.
20:17Work unfinished double crochet.
20:20Now yarn over and pull through the 3 loops on the hook.
20:24That's a double crochet decrease.
20:26Repeat, 4 double crochets, 1 double crochet decrease until the end.
20:31You will have 35 stitches at the end of this row.
20:36You will have 35 stitches at the end of this row.
20:38Then yarn over and pull through the 3 loops on the hook.
20:40You will have 35 stitches at the end of this row.
20:45You will have 35 stitches at the end of this row.
20:50The last group.
20:51four double crochets. One, two, three, four. Work a double crochet two together in the last two
21:06stitches. For the final stitch, insert your hook under both the back bump and half loop of the
21:13chain stitch.
21:21And now we have finished row eight. After completing row eight with a total of 35 stitches,
21:28we will now work the final row. Row nine follows the pattern of working slip stitches across all
21:35stitches. Turn your work, do not chain up. Loosen the working yarn slightly, locate the first stitch,
21:42and insert your hook to make a slip stitch.
21:45Keep the tension relaxed throughout this row. Avoid pulling the stitches tight.
21:55Move to the next stitch and repeat the slip stitch process.
22:01Continue this pattern until the row is complete.
22:15Check your tension after a few stitches to ensure consistency.
22:24For the final stitch, insert your hook into both the half loop and
22:44the back bump of the chain, then complete the slip stitch. Do not cut the yarn yet. Instead,
22:52chain 12 stitches to create one side of the hood's drawstring.
22:56lengthen the yarn tail and cut it, leaving a small tail.
23:13Tighten the last stitch and secure a knot close to the base.
23:20Trim any excess yarn.
23:33repeat the same steps to create the drawstring on the opposite side of the hood.
23:41Wrap the new yarn around your hand. Place the hood onto the yarn.
23:48insert the crochet hook into the first slip stitch, yarn over, and pull through. Leave
23:57the working yarn end longer for easier weaving later.
24:01Crochet 12 chain stitches.
24:08Stretch the yarn end slightly before cutting, tighten and tie a knot,
24:18then trim excess.
24:25Weave the starting yarn end into the fabric interior using a tapestry needle.
24:33Then cut off.
24:47Trim the yarn end from the magic ring of the hood.
24:50Now the main body of the hood is complete.
24:54Test the size for fit.
24:57It should achieve approximately this shape and dimension.
25:04Eximately this shape and dimension.
25:06.
25:11.
