A hat with braids, knitting needles connected according to the description given in this article will be to face almost every representative of the fair half of humanity. And the whole secret of its versatility in its original form and moderate volume. The main highlight of this particular headgear is the transverse arrangement of the braid. This hat model is executed very quickly. Having spent an evening or two at work, you will wear an original and beautiful accessory all the cold season. So, we knit a hat with braids (knitting, of course).
Preparatory stage
For work you will need:
- 100 grams (150 meters) of yarn;
- knitting needles on fishing line number 3.5;
- extra knitting needle;
- hook number 3.
To get a hat with braids, knitting needles, turned out to be warm (winter version), make it from natural wool. Well, if you are preparing a hat for spring-autumn, then half-woolen thread, acrylic or natural cotton is suitable for its manufacture.
We knit the main part of the cap
The implementation of this model of headgear begins with the formation of the main fabric. On the knitting needles, dial 40 loops. At the beginning of each row, remove the first eyelet, hem, unbind, and always draw the last back. Perform all the odd rows (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11) with front loops, and the even (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) loops. Starting from the 13th row, the braid is tied. It is performed according to the following instructions.
13th row: 7 stitches of the front, 8 stitches to be removed, without knitting, on an additional knitting needle and left at work, the next 8 stitches to be stitched and now knit the stitches from the auxiliary knitting needle. Fill the remaining 15 loops on the left knitting needle with the facial stitches.
The 14-24th rows are knitted with a garter stitch (all loops are front).
25th row: 15 loops of the front, 8 loops to remove on the additional knitting needle and set aside, 8 front, 8 loops from the auxiliary knitting needle. Finish the row with the last 7 loops, making them also facial.
Next, repeat the pattern from the 13th to the 25th row 4-5 times. In order for the hat with braids, knitting needles to be exactly your size, try the product on your head during operation. When the fabric is 3-4 centimeters less than the volume of the head, follow the pattern from the 1st to the 12th row and finish knitting.
Top: how to tie?
We continue to draw a hat with braids with knitting needles along the upper edge. To do this, on the long side of the canvas, lift all the loops. Knit them with a gum pattern, alternating 1 facial loop with 1 wrong loop. With this pattern, complete 8 rows. In the next (9th) row, loop all the loops 2 together. Then again, make out 4 rows in the 5th with an elastic band and knit all the loops “from two - one”. Gather the loops remaining on the knitting needles onto the thread and tighten. Without tearing the yarn, connect the edges of the cap with a hook. Fasten and cut the thread.
Bottom edge design
Type loops on the knitting needles along the long side of the product and knit them with a 1 x 1 elastic band. When the bar reaches 6-8 cm, close the loops. Next, decorate the accessory with any crochet. A hat is decorated with braids, knitting needles, knitted decorative elements (flowers, leaves, bows, pompons).
Such a hat can be worn under any outerwear. It will go well with a classic coat, and with a short jacket of a sports style, and with a long coat. We hope that this fact will be the final argument in order to tie such a hat for yourself.
