We knit a hat "Winnie the Pooh." Preparation of materials
The mask cap presented in the description is crocheted. Yarn for such products is usually chosen of medium thickness. The composition of the thread can be cotton / acrylic, if the headpiece is prepared for the warm season. For winter and autumn, you can take a half-woolen thread. This yarn is crocheted No. 2 or No. 3. For work, you need 50 grams of thread of the main color (yellow) and the remains of black thread for the design of the muzzle. Still prepare a small lump of padding polyester to fill the details of the spout. The master class presented below tells how to complete a hat for a child 1-1.5 years old. If you need a larger hat, then knit more rows in the bottom part.

With a yellow thread, we collect 5 air loops, with a connecting column we close them into a ring. We knit 12 columns with one crochet into it. We knit the following rows in a circular fashion according to the pattern shown in the photo below, making uniform increases. Next, we make the canvas without increases to the desired size (depth of the cap). For this model, 15 rows were enough without increments. Cut the thread and fix it.
Knit the ears. We collect 4 air loops with the main color thread, connect them into a ring. We execute 7 SC in it. We knit the following rows with uniform increases. When the circle in diameter becomes 6 centimeters, cut the thread and tighten the last loop. The second part of the eye is performed in a similar way.
We knit eyes with black yarn. We collect 5 air loops, connect them into a ring with a connecting column. We carry out 15 columns with one crochet into it, and then cut the thread. We knit the second eye in the same way.
The nose is made according to the same circle pattern as the bottom of the cap. When this detail is connected, in the middle we embroider with a black thread an element in the form of a triangle, thus marking the center of the nose of the bear.

The mask cap is almost ready. It remains to complete the details. We sew ears and eyes on the headpiece. Next, attach the nose, after placing a lump of padding polyester under this part, giving it volume. If you wish, you can embroider a smile. The original accessory is ready!

We make masks for children and adults: the stage of execution of pompons
The headdress obtained as a result of creative alteration will look like the head of a kitten or a teddy bear. First, do the pompons. To do this, cut out two circles of cardboard with a diameter of 10 centimeters. We make holes in them with a diameter of 3 cm. We put the workpieces together, between them we stretch a long thread. We wind the yarn through the rings. The more threads you wind, the more magnificent the result will be a pompom. After that, we cut the yarn along the outer edge of the ring. We do this carefully so that the structure does not fall apart. Tighten the ends of the long thread, laid initially between the cardboard parts, tie a knot. We remove paper blanks. Shake the pompom and straighten the villi. Similarly, we perform the second such element.
Stage of designing an old hat with new elements
Sew pompons in the upper part of the headgear, forming ears. Next, embroider the nose and mustache with dark yarn. A mask will look very interesting if you attach decorative buttons or half beads (beads with one flat side) as eye parts. If there are none, then these elements need to be embroidered with threads. Everything, a hat can be worn! Believe me, such a thing looks interesting, stylish and beautiful.
