Hat Extravaganza? What’s the First One?
When it came to choosing the first hat for this extravaganza, it was definitely a tough decision. Should I choose a knit hat or a crochet hat? In the end, I decided to go with Tunisian crochet. It’s a unique and versatile crochet technique that creates a beautiful knit-like, textured fabric that’s perfect for hats.
For the first hat, I wanted something that works up quickly and is perfect for late winter and early spring. That’s why I chose to use a bulky-weight yarn. It creates a warm and cozy fabric that’s perfect for chilly weather.
The first hat in this year-long hat extravaganza is the Killington Bulky Tunisian Crochet Hat. It’s a fun and challenging project. Perfect for those who want to try their hand at Tunisian crochet in the round.
Seasoned crocheter or new to the craft, the Killington Bulky Tunisian Crochet Hat is a great starter project. Kick off the year-long hat extravaganza and get excited about all the amazing hats to come!
Free Tunisian Crochet Hat in the Round || What you need to know
Tunisian crochet in the round is perfect for creating hats, bags, and even stuffed animals. If you’re new to Tunisian crochet, don’t worry! It’s a fun and easy technique that combines elements of crochet and knitting to create a unique look and texture.
In Tunisian crochet, you work with a long hook, similar to a knitting needle. Tunisian crochet in the round is worked using a circular Tunisian hook or a double-ended hook. It’s a great way to create seamless projects without having to sew or join any seams.
To begin, you’ll need to learn the basics of Tunisian crochet (click to follow along with BiCrafty Bootcamp: Triple Threat Tunisian Crochet). This includes the foundation row, the Tunisian simple stitch (TSS), and the Tunisian knit stitch (TKS). Once you have these basic stitches down, however, you can generally begin working in the round.
As you work in the round, you’ll notice that the fabric begins to grow and take shape. Now that I’ve whet your appetite, how about we move on to the Killington Bulky Free Tunisian Crochet Hat? It’s the very first hat in the Year-Long Hat Extravaganza.
Killington Bulky Free Tunisian Crochet Hat || Hat Extravaganza
If you’re looking for a great Tunisian crochet in the round project, the Killington Bulky Free Tunisian Crochet Hat is ideal. This cozy hat is worked using a bulky weight yarn, making it quick and easy to create.
Classic beanie style: ribbed brim and textured body created using the Tunisian knit stitch (TKS) and Tunisian reverse stitch (TRS). You’ll work simple color changes using colors in one ball of Caron Sprinkle Cake yarn (works with Chunky Cakes too).
You’ll need to know the basics of Tunisian crochet and Tunisian reverse stitch, as well as working in the round. The pattern includes detailed instructions and a video tutorial to guide you through the process.
The Killington Bulky Free Tunisian Crochet Hat is warm and cozy. It’s perfect for keeping you toasty on even the coldest winter days.
Try your hand at Tunisian crochet in the round; give the Killington Bulky Free Tunisian Crochet Hat a try. With a little practice and patience, you’ll have a beautiful and functional hat that anybody in the family can wear.

⭐️Tunisian Reverse Stitch (TRS): Insert hook from right to left into back vertical bar of next st on the wrong side (or back of work), yarn over and pull up a loop. This pushes the return pass to the front of the work creating a purl-like look.
⭐️ “Work Loops off as normal” Yarn over and draw through 1 loop on hook, *yarn over, draw through 2 loops on hook; repeat from * to end of project. Note: The project is worked in a continuous spiral, so there is only 1 first stitch and all the remaining will be pulled through 2 loops.
DIAGRAM
VIDEO
NOTES
- Hat is worked in the round in a continuous spiral. Place marker in the first stitch of each round.
- Split the yarn into 2 balls of color A, and 1 ball of color B. If using the cake yarn, split into 3 balls. Pick one that has the most contrast to the other two as color B, and assign the remaining 2 as color A.
- In the brim and crown, use one ball of color A for each of the forward and return pass.
- In the body, use color A for the forward pass, change to color to B for the return pass.
- On the forward pass work any number of stitches that comfortably fit on the Tunisian Double Ended hook. Turn and work stitches off the hook for the return pass until 2 loops are left on hook, then turn and work more forward pass stitches. Keep switching between forward and return passes until the round is complete.

Baby Cakes Customized Sweater Free Pattern and Video
Such a cute little sweater isn’t it? And, I love that you can choose the colorway for your wee one as well as add a name. Watch the free video of a recorded class I taught recently on this Baby Cakes Customized Sweater free pattern. I teach you how to knit it, then customize it with embroidery!
It’s a simple knit since it’s 1 x 1 rib and stockinette stitch. Check out the color changes too. But, it’s much easier than you might think!
Custom Baby Sweater
The striped baby pullover is knit with Caron Baby Cakes yarn, available exclusively at Michaels. This worsted-weight yarn is self-striping, so there’s no changing colors as you knit the sweater. This cuts the end weaving you would have without color-changing self-striping yarn.
The sweater is knit from the top down and fits sizes 6 months to 24 months. The sleeve shaping is raglan, which is a great option for babies.
Once you’ve knit the sweater, use hand embroidery to customize it with the baby’s name.
You’ll also need:
- size US 7 (4.5 mm) circular knitting needles, 16″ long
- size US 8 (5.0 mm) circular knitting needles, 16″ long
- size US 7 (4.5 mm) double point needles
- size US 8 (5.0 mm) double point needles
- 2 stitch holders
- stitch marker
- yarn needle

Game Day Mystery Make-Along 2023
Get ready for Game Day Mystery Make-Along 2023. Join us for a thrilling mystery make-along event for knitters and crocheters on Super Bowl Sunday! The event is COMPLETELY FREE and open to ALL SKILL LEVELS.
Kick-off the event early Sunday morning, participants will receive clues and instructions for a secret knitting or crocheting project that will be revealed just before the start of the game.
Whether you’re a die-hard football fan or just looking for something to do during the commercials, this event is the perfect way to mix crafting and athletic competition. Don’t miss out on the fun, register now!
⭐️ The free content for this event will remain up on the blog until Feb. 28, 2023
History of the Game Day Mystery Make-Along
It is not uncommon for crafting communities to organize make-along events, where participants work on a project together, often over a period of time and with reveals or clues along the way. These events can be organized online through social media or in-person at crafting stores or groups. The idea of the Marly Bird Game Day Mystery Make-Along event on Super Bowl Sunday is a creative take on combining the enthusiasm of sport events with the hobby of crafting (and a little food and drink thrown in there for fun).
We started this annual event in 2018. Which makes 2023 the sixth annual event. We’re excited to keep growing this each year. More and more people participate each year. We get better at streamlining the whole process, design new creative projects, and keeping it all running smoothly.
Still not sure what this event is, read our Game Day Mystery Make-Along page. That has all of the details and links you to the patterns from past events.
When Is Game Day Mystery Make-Along 2023
Game Day is a free event (with a MVP Package paid upgrade) that happens on Super Bowl Sunday, February 12, 2023.
All the action begins that Sunday morning and goes just up to the start of the big football game.
One clue is given EVERY TWO HOURS: a link to each of the clues is added at the bottom of this post as they become available.
Which means, if you are participating in the free event held here on the blog, you’ll want to bookmark this page and come back to it every 2 hours.
Once again, I’ve teamed up with Robyn Chachula, my partner in yarny fun, to make this year our best year yet! Our goal with this years project is to make something that is a neck accessory with some flare. It is visually appealing, complex enough to keep both new and advanced crafters interested, and will not take as much time as say a Ruana *wink.
It should be a little challenging without you wanting to throw your hook or needles across the room. We think you will enjoy working on our project and have enough time to finish by the end of the game.
What is the MVP Package?
Similar to our Marly Bird First Fall MAL & the Silver Platter Experience, the MVP package is located in the Marly Bird House!
For the first time EVER, you can upgrade to the Knitting MVP Package or Crochet MVP Package each at the low price of $25 ????.
That is right, each craft is offered as its very own project workshop.
In each MVP Package you get:
- Unlimited Access to Project Workshop Videos (Valued at $100)
- Half-Time Live Q&A Event (Priceless)

What Are We Making for Game Day Mystery Make-Along 2023?
IT IS A MYSTERY! I can’t tell you!!! Okay, so I know what we are making as I designed it but I can’t tell you any more than it is a wearable accessory for the neck…my take on a VERY POPULAR wearable. This event is a MYSTERY make along so you won’t know what the final project will look like until you make all of the clues.
I can tell you this year, we are making a smaller project than the poncho, ruana, or a hat; and we are incorporating some new materials never before used in a Game Day Mystery Make-Along.
It is something that can be worn year round and in any climate.
You might have an idea what this project is but you won’t know the final look until the end.
We are doing videos for each section this year to help you along. The videos will be linked in the clue instructions and will be available on the Marly Bird YouTube Channel for a limited time!
*Note: the video content will be evergreen with the MVP Packages.
Supplies Needed for the Game Day Mystery Make-Along 2023
This years supplies are unique for this project. There are some additional tools needed this time around but they can be easily reused. Along with the tools you will find extra materials outside of the scope of a usual knit or crochet project.
We know it can be difficult to gather supplies for any event but especially a mystery make-along and even more so when the supplies are things you have never used before.
But don’t worry, we would not leave you hanging out to dry!
???? We’ve joined forces with Jill Wiseman Designs to put together bead kits just for this event to make the whole process easy for you!
Each kit includes all the beading supplies needed (except the tools and yarn) for the Knitting project or the Crochet project.
Please visit https://shop.jillwisemandesigns.com/marly-bird-game-day-kits/ and select one of these limited edition kits to get exactly what you need.
Please find the craft you will be following during Game Day and get the full list of supplies.
CROCHET
The Thread-
Yes, you read that right. We are using thread, not yarn for our special Game Day Mystery Make-Along 2023 project.
We have teamed up again with WeCrochet. You can’t go wrong with their great line of colors and a discount that makes this project very affordable!
Discount? Yes! For a limited time, WeCrochet has offered us a discount code just for this event!
???? WeCrochet: bit.ly/WeCrochet-MBird

We know not everybody wants to purchase new yarn for a mystery project. But I will tell you this project was designed with a thread that will hold up to glass beads being added to it. If you choose an alternative thread, please choose one that is the same weight and similar fibers. When picking out colors, think about matching the thread with the intended beads and chain.
- Thread: size 10, 2 colors.
- Sample made with WeCrochet, Curio Size 10, (100% Mercerized Cotton, 721 yds / 659 m, 3.5 oz/ 100 g, CYCA#0 lace):
- 1 ball each of 2 colors
- Sample made with WeCrochet, Curio Size 10, (100% Mercerized Cotton, 721 yds / 659 m, 3.5 oz/ 100 g, CYCA#0 lace):
The Hook-
This project is worked on a very small steel hook. For your hand comfort, look for a hook with a nice grip, it will help keep your tension as well as your comfort. I know these hooks can look scary if you have not tried them before, but Game Day is all about trying something new. You can use any hook from 1.5mm-2.0mm and still achieve the same desired look.
- Steel Hook 2.0mm
Notions and Beading Supplies
This is a different project than any other mystery make-along from Marly Bird. Because of that, there are supplies you might not readily have on hand. I am also going to assume that some of you may not even be familiar with these supplies.
I’ve joined forces with Jill Wiseman Designs to put together bead kits just for this event to make the whole process easy for you! These kits include all the beading supplies needed (except the tools and yarn)!
Please visit https://shop.jillwisemandesigns.com/marly-bird-game-day-kits/ and select one of these limited edition kits to get exactly what you need.
However, if you prefer to get each item a la cart, I’ve linked each item to Michaels. These are affiliate links but I know they will help make it easier for you to find the necessary items.
This project is so much more than just crocheting which is why there is a larger supply list. We pared down the list as best we could to just the necessary items.
If purchasing your beading supplies a la carte, make sure to match the metal of your chain, jump rings, toggle clasp, and eye pins. Meaning make sure you choose all silver, gold, or bronze for each of those. ????Do not mix your metals.
- Tools:
- Wire Cutters
- Round Nose Pliers and Flat Nose Nose Pliers
- Large Eye Beading Needle
- Fabric Stiffener (Robyn likes Mod Podge Stiffy, but any will work.)
- Rust-Proof Pins and Parchment Paper
- Felt Square [or beading mat] (optional)
- Beading Supplies (a la cart links) *these supplies are already in the kit*
KNITTING
The YARN-
The Yarn-
We have chosen a yarn from the WeCrochet yarn collection.
Their yarn is very lovely and available to everybody. We really like the colors and the way it feels in our hands, plus the discount made this project very affordable!
Discount? Yes! For a limited time, WeCrochet has offered us a discount code just for this event!

We know not everybody wants to purchase new yarn for a mystery project. But I will tell you this project was designed with a sport worsted weight yarn that will hold up to glass bead being added to it. If you choose an alternative yarn, please choose one that is the same weight and similar fibers.
No, this is not a colorwork project and BUT, you could use up to 3 colors if that is something you are interested in doing. Be sure to match the yarn with the intended beads.
- Yarn: sport worsted weight yarn, 1 color.
- Sample made with WeCrochet, Galileo Sport Weight, (50% Merino Wool, 50% Viscose from Bamboo, 131 yds / 120 m, 1.76 oz/ 50 g, CYCA#2 sport):
- Any Color – 1 ball
- Sample made with WeCrochet, Galileo Sport Weight, (50% Merino Wool, 50% Viscose from Bamboo, 131 yds / 120 m, 1.76 oz/ 50 g, CYCA#2 sport):
The Needles-
This project is worked on very small needles to get a beautiful finished look. The needle size for this weight yarn is typically a size 3, 4, or 5. But for our project we need to have size 1 needles.
We will not be working in the round but working with either a couple of double pointed needles or longer circulars with a long tip made the process easier for me. Notice I did add straight needles as an option because they will work, but they are not my preference.
I also want to mention that the point on your needle is VERY important. If it is too dull or blunt you will have a difficult time with this project. I highly recommend precision point or stiletto point needles. The link below is to Signature Needle Arts as they are my favorite but choose a needle that is best for you.

Easy Crochet Bonnet Pattern || Riverside
Looking for an easy crochet bonnet pattern you can wear and not worry about hat hair?? Seriously, you can wear this beret, tam, or bonnet over your updo and not have crushed hair! So, you can make this simple on-the-go pattern for beginner crocheters with less than one ball of Caron Cakes. It works up super quickly! Pair it with the easy crochet scarf/cowl pattern for a crochet accessory set!
Oombawka Design Crochet and The Stitchin Mommy asked me to be a part of the #ScarfofTheMonth. I quickly said, “SURE!” As I knew I could get a new crochet design completed in time.
Well, time is a funny thing, and it completely sneaks up on you. Before I knew it, my scarf was due in less than a week and I’d soon be leaving for a trip to Florida. You can read all about that here.
Though I did manage to get that pattern completed in time, I had to have a hat done for the #HatofTheMonth too! I knew I wanted the hat and scarf to look somewhat alike, so I chose the same yarn and colorway.
Is this a Bonnet, a Beret, Or a Tam?
Well, to answer that, let’s have an understanding of the subtle differences between all of them. Sometimes, a crochet bonnet is a voluminous head covering that covers the top and sides of the head. It can have a brim that can be turned up or down.
A beret is typically a hat that’s a soft, visorless cap. It has a close-fitting headband and a wide, round top, often with a tab at its center.
A tam is a type of beret. It’s typically made with a more voluminous top. This gives it a slightly taller, rounder shape and a tighter fit around the head. But tams are often made with a thicker, more substantial fabric than traditional berets. They may have an additional band or ribbon around the base of the crown, helping keep it securely in place.
As you can see, you can call this headwear anything you want. But to me, it looks like a bonnet, so I am calling it the Riverside Bonnet.
What Makes This Crochet Bonnet Easy?
The pattern is not hard to follow and is super simple to memorize. It uses mainly one stitch, the half double crochet. As long as you keep track of your stitch count while working each round, it’ll be smooth sailing.
This hat is made from the top to the bottom. Work increases through the entire crown and then decreases to bring the circumference of the piece to a wearable size.
The only finishing on this easy crochet bonnet is to weave in the beginning and ending tail. That’s it!
See, EASY!
Hat of the Month Crochet-Along 2023 || Guest Designer Easy Crochet Bonnet Pattern January
The Riverside Crochet Bonnet is a free pattern here on the Marly Bird blog. Although you could easily refer to this as a beret or a tam, to me, it’s a bonnet.
As mentioned, this is part of the Hat of the Month Crochet-Along 2023.
For the entire year of 2023, on the 4th Sunday of every month, you will get FOUR new hat patterns. One from Amy, one from Rhondda, and one from a guest designer (this month, it’s ME).
As you are working on your hats, be sure to add them to your projects on Ravelry. I’ve already listed this pattern there for your convenience. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/riverside-9
