The pages of fashion magazines for needlework abound in a wide variety of crocheted clothes and hats . But you must admit that most of them are for girls. But what about our boys? After all, their mothers also want the baby to be dressed in beautiful, original clothes, knitted with their own hands. Crochet for boys has a number of features, and some of them will be discussed in this article.
Let's start with hats.
Crochet knitted bandanas for boys - perfect summer
So, which model of headgear is the most practical, convenient and beautiful? Certainly a bandana. After all, such a headdress looks super modern, and quite often you can find it in a pirate wardrobe. And every boy dreams of being like a sea robber. And by offering him such a hat, you can be sure that he will wear it with great pleasure.
Now, having decided on the model, you can choose the method of knitting. I would like to note that there are not so many of them that are right for you, decide for yourself. Here are some of the most popular.
The first way to crochet bandanas for boys
You can tie a bandana according to the scheme of a usual scarf, and then tie it on your head, making a beautiful knot. As a neck scarf, this model also looks very stylish. The pattern for such a bandana can be any, the main thing - do not use thick threads. You can decorate it with a knitted applique or thermal stickers. For such a model, you will need only one skein of any cotton yarn, preferably thin. And this is done so.
We knit a chain of 3 air loops and the first row with double crochets, then in each next row (at the beginning and end) we make increments in one column. We knit even rows in this way - a double crochet, an air loop, a double crochet; odd rows - with ordinary double crochet. The result is an openwork pattern, just for boys - nothing more. The threads used can be the same color or different. As you like more. Having reached the desired size, at the opposite ends of the resulting triangle we knit a chain of air loops with the length necessary for easy tying. And we carry out two more rows with double crochets along the entire length, including ties. The bandana is ready!
The second way to knit bandanas
Another original version of the bandana for boys is crocheted from several parts according to the scheme. The pattern is openwork, but for the summer version, of course, perfect. The manufacturing method is as follows. First, two semicircles fit together (they will be located on the sides of the head), then the middle part. In order to determine the size, it is necessary to measure the girth of the head. Let's say it is 46 centimeters. The middle part is 8 cm wide for children over two years old and 7 cm for those younger than this age. Now we need to subtract 16 cm (8 + 8) from the girth of the head in the first case, and 14 (7 + 7) in the second. In the first version, 30 cm remains, which must be divided into two (15 cm - this will be the length of each semicircle). We begin to knit semicircles. We collect 5 air loops, which we connect into a ring. Next, we knit 8 crochets in the resulting ring. We knit the next row, alternating a double crochet and an air loop. And in the same way all the other rows, until the length of the lower part of the semicircle reaches the desired value. The second semicircle is knitted similarly to the first.
The middle part fits even easier. We carry out the air chain of the required length (7 or 8 cm). Then we knit, alternating, openwork and continuous rows. The length of the middle part should be several centimeters longer than the diameter of the semicircle. Having finished the middle part, we put the bandana into a single whole and tie it around the bottom edge with double crochet, while making the stitches for it. They can be knitted or made from a finished braid. This version of the bandana can be plain or multi-colored. With a successful combination of shades, the bandana acquires a unique style and sophistication. Decoration in this case is not required, since the knitted ornament and various colors do not need additional decoration.
