Knitting Tips
It’s actually very easy to crochet a Minnie Mouse hat. The diagrams and description are so simple that even a beginner needlewoman will cope with them. The product is carried out without tearing in a circle with ordinary columns. In addition to the cap itself, you need to tie large ears and a bright bow with white polka dots. They are the hallmarks of charming Minnie Mouse.
For the summer version of the model, linen, silk or cotton yarn is suitable. Moreover, the knitting should be loose - double crochet. For a winter hat, it is recommended to take threads with the addition of wool. You can also tie the inside or sew a warm lining. The canvas should be made dense, for this, single crochet columns are best suited.
There are a lot of options for patterns for knitting hats. Beginners can stay on the simplest posts. Experienced craftswomen will certainly want to dwell on a more interesting performance of the Minnie Mouse hat. The photos in this article will demonstrate several patterns as an example. But you can choose any one to your taste both for the cap itself and for the rest of the details.
Let's start knitting the hat itself. It will be, rather, a summer option, since the main product will be made with double crochets.
Minnie Beanie Base
We collect five loops on the hook. We close the knitted chain with a connecting column. The first row must be done with double crochets. Moreover, in both walls it is better to knit two loops. Thanks to this technique, the product will not collapse. The next two rows are done exactly the same. At the beginning of each row, do not forget to make two air loops for lifting, and at the end - a connecting column. This will make the pattern not spiral, and the canvas will not be tightened.
In the next rows, additions are made less frequently - after only four to five loops. The older the girl, the larger should be the top of the cap. On average, a total of seven to eight rows need to be knit with crochets. After this addition ceases. Now in each loop you need to knit one crochet column. This will make the Minnie Mouse baby hat strictly in the shape of the child’s head. So we knit rows until you reach the middle of the baby's forehead.
Bezel Hats
Now cut the thread and attach the yarn of pink or red. We proceed to the very pattern, which resembles a fan. From the hook we count the third loop, we knit four double crochet into it. Repeat the action until the end of the row. We fasten with a connecting column.
The second row fits in the same way. It is only necessary to ensure that the columns are located between the lower elements ("fans"). The remaining rows must be knitted according to the same principle as the second row. The upper columns (“fans”) must be strictly between the lower ones. There are so many rows to knit so that the edge of the cap reaches the level of the girl’s eyebrows. On this, crocheting the edging of the Minnie Mouse cap will be finished.
Mouse ears
With this method of knitting, the ears will not turn out perfectly round, but they will be very similar to mouse ones. So, we collect five loops of black yarn and connect into a ring. Knitting will occur in a spiral columns without a crochet. In the first and second row, additions should be done in each loop, then - more rarely, after three or four loops. So you need to knit until a circle in diameter is the size of a female palm.
Now the rows of single crochet need to be knitted in the usual way, without additions or decreases. Thanks to this, the canvas begins to curl. Fold the eye in half to determine the fold points. In these places, when knitting the next rows, you will need to do one decrease. This is necessary so that the part acquires a rounded shape. Thus, we knit until a narrow hole remains. But it should not be too small, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to sew to the base. Similarly, you need to tie another eye.
Another version of the ears
It will be easier for someone to knit ears according to the principle of a simple circle. Any scheme is suitable for this. Crochet Minnie Mouse hat will turn out no worse. For each eye you need to connect two circles. That is, there will be four identical parts. It is better to knit with yarn in two additions so that the ears do not fall. For volume inside, you can put a little syntepon.
Connect the parts of the eyelet with single crochet in a circle, but not to the very end. This is done so that you can push the parts about a centimeter apart and sew them to the cap separately. Due to this connection, the ears will not roll forward or backward, but will stay steady all the time.
Little face mouse minnie
If desired, you can tie not only the ears, but also the face of Minnie Mouse. It consists of several parts that fit together individually. This is the beige part of the face, eyes and nose.
Let's start knitting from the basics. We collect sixteen loops with beige yarn. We knit fifteen SC in a chain. In the last loop - three columns. On the other side of the chain we also knit fifteen columns. Now we turn the product and in exactly the same way we make six more rows. In places of bending, you need to knit three columns in one loop. Perhaps the number of rows will have to be reduced or increased, so periodically try on the part to the Minnie Mouse hat. Crochet the edges when the base is finished.
Eyes and nose of the mouse
Now let's move on to the eyes. With white yarn on the hook, dial six loops. Knit a series of double crochet chains. In extreme loops you need to make an increase of five columns. The second row fits in the same way. Only in each loop should there be two columns. Pupils are made in the same way with black thread, but smaller.
The nose is a regular ball. You can tie a bead of a suitable size. But to make it from scratch is very easy. In order not to form an ugly seam, it is better to knit in a spiral. In the first three rows there should be an addition. These are six columns that need to be distributed evenly. The fourth and fifth rows are left without additions. Further reductions are made - this is minus six columns. It remains to fill the ball synthetic winterizer and pull the thread.
In principle, for a baby hat, crocheting Minnie Mouse is enough to tie some eyes so that it looks original and unusual. The base and nose are optional.
Bow for Minnie
On the hook, dial about ten loops and three more for lifting. Knit a row with double crochet. This will be the width of the bow. Next, you need to knit so many rows that you are satisfied with the length of the ribbon. Sew the ends together and turn inside out. The jumper for the bow fits in the same way, only smaller. We place it in the middle of the ribbon and now sew its ends.
A finished bow does not need to be sewn to the Minnie Mouse hat crocheted. You can make it removable on a pin. This will allow you to further adjust the size of the cap if you pin the bow from above, capturing part of the crown.
Mugs for a bow
White peas on a bright bow are Minnie's hallmark, so they must be. With light yarn, we hook four loops onto a hook and close it in a ringlet. We knit seven crochet columns and fasten the thread. One row will be enough. These circles need to be tied from six to eight pieces. You can also decorate the red (pink) bezel of the hat. Then peas will need twice as much.
White knitted circles can be easily replaced with buttons, beads, small pompons, sequins or large rhinestones.
Stitching parts
In principle, this is the entire master class of the Minnie Mouse crochet caps. It remains only to assemble all the parts into a single whole. If you knitted a face, then first we collect it. Sew the pupils to the white part of the eyes. We combine it with beige details for the face. We attach the nose to it. Cilia can be made with threads, so that the eyes are more expressive, and a mouth. Sew the resulting face on a hat over the edging.
Now we sew the ears. Fold the hat in half to mark the place of the fold. Pinned ears to it with pins. You can attach them with connecting posts or sew with a needle.
Sew white circles to the bow. We fix it on the top of the cap in the middle. The bow can be sewn with ears to hold them better. That's all, a wonderful hat for the girl is ready.
Now you know how to crochet a Minnie Mouse hat. She will be a great gift for a little fashionista for any occasion. If you remove the bright border, bow, and make the ears bigger, you get a great hat for the boy, stylized as Mickey Mouse.
