Do not forget in the last row of the elastic band to either change the needles to a larger size, or make an increase from 5 to 10 loops.
We continue to knit the front surface for another 12-15 cm. After this, it is necessary to start making reductions. In eight places, through an equal number of loops we knit two together the front. We make such reductions in each row. When 8 loops remain on the knitting needles, thread the thread through them and tighten. The ends are seasoned on the wrong side.

For her knitting, soft yarn of medium thickness and knitting needles are larger than necessary. This is necessary so that the canvas of the cap turns out to be soft, loose and stretches well.
We start knitting, as in the first embodiment, with gum. But, unlike the previous options, instead of the front surface, after the gum, you need to complete 4-5 rows of a shawl pattern. If you knit on two knitting needles, then just do all the loops face, and if on circular, then purl.
After you have made several rows of garter stitches, we add (10-15 loops) and knit the elastic again, but only now it will be a 1x1 option.
In this model, there is no need to perform downsizing. Having knitted the cap to the required height, we simply thread the thread through the loops and tighten them. The ends are seasoned on the wrong side.

Everything will depend on what yarn you will use for knitting hats. You will need threads of two colors, knitting needles and two buttons.
Knitting begins with a set of 80-100 stitches. Focus on your child’s head circumference, yarn and knitting needles. Further knitting continues with facial loops. After fifteen centimeters, we begin to make reductions so that the cap fits tightly around the head. They are performed in the same way as in the first described embodiment. Now we proceed to the formation of the ears and the visor of the cap.
To do this, on the lower edge of the product, you need to mark the place where the ears of the hats will be located, and raise the loops. Knitting is performed with a garter stitch for 10-12 cm, after which we knit two loops together in each row three times from each edge and close the rest. We knit the second eye in the same way.
The visor fits in the same way. Just do not need to make reductions at the end to round its shape. Please note that the visor is knitted from a yarn of a different color. So that he holds well and does not fall into his eyes, on the surface of the cap he is fixed with buttons.
If there is such a need, you can attach ties to the ears. It can be laces crocheted or bought in a store.
