Today, more than ever, hats are fun, stylish and even daring. Such a knitted panda hat is an undoubted trend. This cute little animal can decorate not only the head of your child, but also will suit a young charming mother.
The panda bear is a symbol of animal welfare on our planet. Anyone who needs a panda hat knitting pattern has some tips:
- so that your baby does not freeze, it is better if you have thick yarn;
- double cap bonding is another way to keep your baby's ears warm.
For knitting you will need:
- yarn of two colors (black - 50 g, white - 100 g);
- knitting needles for circular knitting;
- scissors;
- needle;
- a pair of peepholes (black buttons can be used).
There are many ways to knit a panda hat. But any way combines the color scheme (black-and-white or black-gray), and a cheerful muzzle of a cute animal.
1. Calculate the correct number of loops necessary for knitting. To do this, tie a sample in which count the number of all loops and rows in one centimeter. Then measure the volume of the head and calculate how many loops are needed to knit a hat.
2. Divide this number by 2 so that you get the exact knitting pattern for the panda hat, or rather, the picture with the panda face.
The knitting pattern for panda hats is easily built in the Word text editor using table construction. Build a table corresponding to the number of loops obtained after dividing by 2, so that the pattern is symmetrical, it is better that the number of loops is even.
For example, this panda hat knitting pattern consists of 27 loops.
We build a plate of 24 columns and 28 rows (the approximate height of the cap). It turns out a grid of loops, approximately in full size, on this grid you can draw any pattern. By filling the cells with color, draw a muzzle. Remember that the actual size of the picture may vary, because the width and length of the cell corresponds only approximately.
3. We collect the required number of loops, and just knit any hat of white or gray yarn. It can be a cap knitted in a circle with stocking knitting needles. You can knit on two knitting needles, then at the end of the work you will need to sew a hat. It is better to tie the elastic on the cap separately so that it does not stretch. To do this, when looping, use the auxiliary thread, knit the main part, then, after you make the back seam, unfold the auxiliary thread and draw the number of loops necessary for knitting on knitting needles and knit the elastic.
Knitting a double hat is different in that you first knit the main hat, and only then you usually knit 2-3 loops less on the edge and knit the same hat to the other side, you can from other yarn, for example, baby acrylic, it stretches well.
There is another option to make your hat warm so that no wind blows off your baby’s ears. To do this, just sew a lining made of fleece, which is cut out over the cap and carefully sewn from the wrong side.
If you crochet a hat, you can tie the eyes and mouth of a panda separately, and then sew on a hat that is already ready.
The pattern can be knitted according to the pattern, or embroidered with black threads.
After 4-6 rows, begin to decrease the cap. For example, conditionally divide the number of loops by 7, make reductions in each row and in each part, by knitting two loops together. When there are only 6-8 loops left on your knitting needles, pull them together with a thread and fasten.
4. Sew eye buttons, tie pom-poms.
Your hat is ready. Such a hat certainly will not go unnoticed and your baby will be very happy with such an original gift. She is bright and cheerful, very warm and stylish, which is why all young fashionistas and fashionistas like it so much.
