Many representatives of the weaker sex already in the fall begin to prepare for winter. The main task is to choose fashionable, warm, and most importantly - beautiful, hat and snood. Any novice needlewoman can knit with her own attractive set. It is enough to know the basics of knitting. It is also necessary to choose the right yarn, tools and patterns for the future warm kit.
Preparatory work
All needlewomen know the golden rule of all knitting needles. It is always necessary to pre-make a sample of the pattern of the future product, wash it and then carry out the necessary calculations. After all, one yarn after washing can stretch, and the other, on the contrary, “sit down”.
It is recommended to prepare a sample of 10 x 10 cm.
You can choose any yarn you like: acrylic, wool, half-wool, mohair. The main thing is that the thread holds the pattern well, this is especially important for braids, harnesses.
If you want to get a gradient, it is better to choose a thin yarn, and knit in several additions. A smooth transition from one color to another occurs due to the uniform replacement of each thread in turn.
The size of the snud
Caps and snood patterns with knitting needles selected, sample tied and washed. Now you should decide on the size of the future product. Today, products are popular both in one revolution, and in two. Consider the length of the scarf-clamp for children and adults.
Many needlewomen knit hats, needles with knitting needles not only for themselves, but also for their children. Therefore, this information is quite relevant.
According to the given parameters, you can knit an excellent clamp. Its width may be different. For example, wide products can replace a hood.
Hat with a pattern of "braids"
For the longest time, hats, snoods connected with knitting needles with a “braid” pattern are among the most popular. It is quite light, it is necessary to carefully monitor the number of knitted rows and in time to do overlaps in the necessary direction.
For work, it is necessary to prepare knitting needles in two sizes: for the main fabric and for elastic.
We measure the head circumference, subtract 2-3 cm from the obtained value and calculate the required number of loops. We recruit them, close the knitting in a circle.
We knit 6-7 cm with an elastic band 1x1. If you want the hat to be with a lapel, the length of the elastic should be doubled (that is, 12-14 cm).
Now it is necessary to make an increase, given the rapport of the future pattern. Experienced needlewomen know that “braids” tighten knitting, so you need to evenly increase the number of loops by about 50%.
We knit the body of the cap to the height of the future product, we perform decreases. To do this, the main number of loops must be divided into 6 parts and evenly decrease through each row. When 6 to 12 stitches remain on the knitting needles, they must be pulled together with a working thread. On the wrong side, the thread is fixed and hidden.
You can make your own pompom from yarn or purchase a ready-made, fur one. It is fixed on the top of the head.
Snud pearl pattern
The cap, the snood can be knitted with a very simple pattern - pearl. But most often this pattern is used to make a scarf-collar. Such an accessory is not only simple in execution, but also quite stylish.
It is advisable to choose the same yarn for knitting. It is better to knit a hat, a snood in one revolution on circular knitting needles. If you want to knit a product in two turns, it is better to use ordinary, hosiery.
Again, make a sample, erase it and calculate the required number of loops. A pearl pattern is an alternation of seamy and facial loops. In the next row over the front we knit the wrong ones and vice versa.
Other popular patterns
Often for snoods, they also use handkerchief. This pattern is very simple, it is necessary to knit on stocking needles only with facial loops. If you knit on a circular, then the first row must be knit facial, and the second - wrong.
The “braid” pattern looks very impressive with knitting needles on a hat, a snood. You can use either one element or several.
Today, sets that combine several patterns at once are especially popular. Therefore, experiment! With a pearl pattern and garter stitch you can combine braids of varying complexity, tows, arana.
Fashionable Mohair Sets
Mohair - nice, warm, soft and fluffy yarn. It is often used to knit hats and snoods with knitting needles. Schemes and description of the models are different. But the simplest and most popular pattern can safely be called an English gum. Using this pattern, you can create a fashionable Takori hat with a double lapel from this yarn.
To create it, on the circular knitting needles gain the required number of loops and knit 35 cm of fabric in height. After performing a decrease. The main number of loops is divided into 4 parts and knit three loops together at the beginning and at the end of each block in every fourth row. Thus, it is necessary to knit about 33 rows.
After the crown is pulled together, the thread is fixed and hidden on the wrong side.
With such a cap, openwork stoles or fluffy snoods look spectacular. A scarf collar can be knitted in the same pattern as "takori".
Product Care
Once the product is ready, it should be washed in warm water with shampoo or a special means for wool. Gently squeeze the product and put it on a towel in a horizontal position. In no case should the product be suspended, otherwise it may stretch out.
