Lately, making things with your own hands has become a very popular hobby. Also in the new season, the fashion for knitwear is preserved. That is why needlewomen can not only spend time happily creating the next model, but also make good money on it.
Perhaps the simplest things you can quickly knit are socks, scarves and knit hats. Schemes of models for any age and gender can be found in this article.
The choice of working material and tools
Before you start knitting, you need to prepare a workplace.
Choose yarn for knitting. It is better if it will include acrylic. It is especially worthwhile to approach the choice of material if you will knit children's hats. Do not buy spiky wool. In such a thing, even an adult will be unpleasant to go, what can we say about the delicate skin of a child.
Before knitting the cap with knitting needles, the scheme and instructions suggest choosing a working tool. You can knit on two standard knitting needles, on five stockings or on circular. Here, in many respects, your choice will depend on the preferred model. Try to choose the size of the tool so that its thickness is approximately equal to the thickness of the selected thread.
Test knitting and taking measurements
Before knitting caps with knitting needles, schemes suggest making a test element. To do this, you need to use a selected material to knit a plot of 10 loops in 10 rows. With it, you can calculate how many loops are contained in one centimeter of your future work.
Next, you need to measure the circumference of the head on which you will knit children's, men's or women's hats. It is also necessary to determine the schemes and select the appropriate models.
When everything is ready, you can proceed to the set of loops.
Men's knitting hat: creation scheme
In order to knit a hat for a man, it is necessary to choose a yarn of a suitable color. Men usually prefer dark or gray colors. Knitting hats can be carried out both on stocking knitting needles, and on circular. Choose what you like best.
Calculate the number of loops you need to work and type them. Men's caps with knitting patterns are different. This description presents a classic model that will fit snugly to the head.
After you have loops, divide them into 4 equal parts and transfer them to the knitting needles. If you selected a circular tool for work, you can skip this item.
Start knitting with a double elastic band. To do this, adhere to the following scheme:
- The first circle: two front, two wrong.
- The second circle: over the facial facial, over the wrong side and so on.
In this way, knit 15 centimeters and begin the decrease. Knitted hats with knitting needles for loop reduction are different. In this case, it is only necessary to work with the wrong loops. In order to do everything right, step by step follow the following instructions:
- Knit two facial loops.
- Tie the wrong side together.
- Again, knit two face, and so on.
As a result, you get a somewhat narrowed circle. Knit two more circles in the usual pattern, and then reduce the facial loops, knitting two together.
Knit another 15 centimeters with a single rubber band, then close the loops. In order to properly arrange the crown of the cap, turn it inside out and fold the sides of the hole in such a way as to get four sides-petals. Sew them together with a neat seam and turn the product back. The product is ready!
Hat with ears and knitting needles: knitting pattern
Children's knitted hats are a more sought-after item of clothing than adult models. Also created much faster and require less consumption of working material caps for children with knitting needles. Knitting patterns may vary and have a different description. In this case, a hat with funny ears will be connected.
Type the number of loops you need on standard knitting needles. Knit 5 centimeters with a double elastic band in the following way:
- In the first row: two front, two wrong.
- In the second row: two wrong, two front.
Over the front, knit the front, over the wrong - wrong. Consider turning the product over. When the elastic is tied, you can start knitting the direct pattern of the cap with knitting needles. Pattern patterns can be selected by you depending on your craftsmanship. In this description, ordinary garter stitch will be used. Knit all rows with facial loops.
The height of the product also depends on the size of the head. For an age of 2-3 years, it is necessary to tie 15 centimeters of work, and then close the loops. You have received a rectangular canvas that needs to be assembled correctly. Remember that all seams must be seamy.
Make the rear single stitch in such a way that the edges of the elastic band touch. After this, the upper seam must be made. The hat is almost ready. You just have to arrange the ears. To do this, pompons or brushes can be sewn onto the protruding corners. You can make an accessory yourself or purchase it in a store.
Hat in the shape of a cap for the baby
This type of cap is first created on two knitting needles, after which it is transferred to the hosiery tool.
Dial the number of loops equal to the circumference of the neck. Knit exactly as much as the height of the head from the neck to the crown. For this work, it is better to use the standard stitch knitting pattern. To do this, knit the facial loops in all the front rows, and the wrong ones in the wrong rows.
When the work is connected to the top of the head, divide the loops into three parts and start working with the central one. Knit according to the described scheme, however, at the end of each row, remove the loop from the adjacent knitting needles and knit them together. When the two side knitting needles are free, close the working loops and make the ties for the cap.
Baby hat
Another option for creating a baby hat is a hat in the form of a helmet. Thanks to a convenient form, you can refuse a scarf.
Tie the hat in the same way as the previous description. When the bonnet is ready, draw a free working thread of a loop from the edge of the work from which knitting began. Knit 15-20 centimeters circular viscous and close the loop.
On the side of the hole for the face, you must knit a wearable elastic band. To do this, dial on the circular knitting needles with a free working thread. Knit 3 centimeters in a circle with a double elastic band. To do this, make two front loops, followed by two purl, then repeat the manipulation.
Close the work loops without tightening them. The hat is ready!
Female snood
In fact, snood is an unusual scarf, but if you have imagination, it can serve as a headdress. Such a knitted hat for women with knitting needles is very unusual. The pattern, description and technique of knitting may vary depending on the selected pattern. In this case, the simplest stitch knitting will be used.
Type on the double needles the number of loops equal to the distance from the crown of the head to the shoulders. This hat-scarf fits across. Tie the length you want, then close the loops.
When assembling the product, you can just sew the ends of the work together, but you can use the buttons. In the latter case, you need to sew stitches on the edge of the product.
This hat is more like a hood. This season, her popularity occupies a leading position.
Hanging female hat
To create such a product, it is necessary to bind its length twice as long as the size of the head requires. Put on the knitting needles of the number of loops and knit the product in a circle.
Tie the first five centimeters with a double elastic band. To do this, follow the diagram:
- The first circle: two front, two wrong.
- Further, over the facial facial, over the wrong side.
When the knitting of the elastic is finished, proceed directly to knitting the fabric. To do this, in all rows knit in a circle facial loops. When the necessary size of the product is connected, close the loops in a circle and proceed to design the end of the cap.
Take a special knitting needle and insert the working thread into the eye. Gently symmetrically perform a set of related work at a distance of two centimeters from the edge of the product. Tighten the end of the cap and lock the thread.
Thus, you will get a hanging female hat with the assembled edge of the product.
