A knitted hat, knitted or crocheted, is one of the favorite models for large and small girls for more than one autumn-winter season. Milota and charm - this is what threatens the owner of such a headgear. How to connect it in order to conquer all passers-by with its "finesse"?
Ears on a hat - the trend of the autumn-winter season for many years
Where the fashion for hats with ears came from is, of course, an interesting, but not relevant, question, since they are worn by the fair sex of all ages around the world. Knitted cat hat with knitting needles is a modern headdress in autumn and winter. She looks childishly cute and feminine alluring. Everyone will see something different in such a wardrobe detail. After all, for some, a hat with ears will seem stupid, and for others, a fashion peep. But no matter what they think, they remain the actual model for several years and, most likely, will remain so.
Which yarn is better?
Hats with ears are worn mainly in the cool season - from mid-autumn to early spring, such a headgear will come in handy, becoming an unusual part of the wardrobe. To knit it, you need to choose yarn and knitting needles. Most of all, for hats without inserts, ordinary threads are suitable - half-woolen, acrylic. If you want to knit a fluffy cat hat, then you can choose "grass" yarn. And even such a headdress can be quite complicated when two types of threads are used in the work - for the cap itself and for the ears, and the texture of the threads should match their purpose. Depending on the thickness of the yarn, you should choose knitting needles. Usually, the cat’s hat is knitted on two knitting needles, and the fabric is then joined by a regular seam, and it depends on the model, one will be a seam or two. Although you can knit a hat on five knitting needles - in a circle.
Top ears
A knitted hat with knitting needles can be completely straightforward - knitted ears are sewn onto a regular knitted hat. The headgear itself is more convenient to carry out with facial stitch. To get a knitted cat with knitting needles, the description will be used the most primitive. Let's say the head circumference is 55-56 centimeters. Then, on knitting needles No. 3, 120 loops of suitable semisynthetic, woolen yarn of thickness are dialed. Yarn and knitting needles are selected standardly - a thread twisted in two folds should be equal to the thickness of the knitting needles. That is, for the proposed model, the thickness of the yarn should be 1.5-2 mm. For more accurate calculations, it is better to first knit the sample and calculate how many loops per 1 cm of canvas.
The first 5-7 rows are knitted with a 1x1 elastic band. Then, to the height of the cap, and this is about 20 centimeters, knitting continues with the front surface, that is, the front rows are knitted with the front loops, and the wrong rows are with the inside loops. Having knitted a straight section, you should begin to reduce the loops evenly in a circle, knitting 2 loops together. For cats, such reductions are best done in different places of the row, without indicating the seams of the reductions. When several loops remain in operation, they must be pulled together with a thread. Sew the finished product at the seam. Now the ears fit. On knitting needles, dial 20 loops and knit with the front stitch, making decreases from the beginning and end of the row. The height of the hat will depend on how the decreases are performed. 4 pieces of such identical parts need to be connected, and it is in this case that you can make ears with pink, for example, inserts, then the back half of the ear will be the color of the cap, and the front half will be pink. Sew each pair of ears over the edge or crochet with a "crustacean step" and sew in place. Double ears will be stiff enough not to “fall over”. A simple hat with cat ears is ready.
Gum ears
A funny cat hat for a girl or girl is obtained by knitting three separate parts - the middle of the hat is knitted with a “braid” pattern, the one you like, and the two sides are stripes of elastic, due to which the hat not only fits well on the head, but also acquires "cat ears". If you change the pattern of the central part, leaving the sides of the gum unchanged, you can get many different hats. The thickness of the yarn should also be taken into account to make a comfortable knitted cat hat with knitting needles. A master class of such work will begin with the implementation of the central part. It fits in the pattern below.
4 rapports should be tied in height. Then you need to make the reduction on the top of the head. For this, it is most convenient to reduce the loops first in the wrong tracks, then in the front ones, knitting two loops together. Close the hinges and tie the second half of the cap in the same way. Stitch both central parts together.
The sides fit in with a 2x2 elastic band. To do this, collect working loops from broaches of edge loops along the front central part. Moreover, the closer to the crown, the more often you need to type loops. Then a rubber band is knitted in 23 rows. Close the eyelets and sew the sidewall to the back center. In the same way, the second side of the cat hat is formed. Crochet the bottom with a "crustacean step" and tie the strings, if necessary.
Just a hat with ears
Another model will tell how a cat hat can be knitted with one cloth. The scheme of work is as follows, for a head circumference of 55-57 centimeters:
- on knitting needles No. 3, dial 56 loops with a suitable yarn thickness and tie with a 1x1 elastic band for a better fit of 5-7 rows;
- knitting is distributed in this way - 1 hem, 12 stitches with a pearl pattern, 30 stitches of a royal braid according to the pattern, 112 stitches with a pearl pattern and 1 hem;
- continue knitting to fit the headgear;
- knit 5-7 rows with 1x1 elastic, as at the beginning of knitting;
- to sew side seams;
- measure the hat;
- on the head make marks of cat ears;
- fasten the back and front halves of the cap with a decorative cross to mark the cat ears and fit the cap on the head.
The royal braid should be knitted according to the pattern.
The work is completed, the cap is ready.
Nowhere easier
You can knit a cat hat in just a couple of hours, if you use a very simple way to get the ears on top of your head. Tie it to the size of the head so that it looks like just a bag, and you can do it any viscous, as you like, and then sew the corners to designate the ears. When the cat’s hat gets bored, the ears can be embroidered, the cloth can be tied up and a fashionable beanie hat will also be received. Easy peasy!
What is not a cat snood? He is also with ears!
A fashion accessory is a hat with ears. Although on the streets of cities you can find big and small fashionistas not in caps with ears, but in scarfs-snacks, which are also decorated with such a funny element. What to do to become the owner of such an interesting and unusual element of the wardrobe? Tie snood and set ears. Scarf-snood can be knitted here in this way.
And you can use just a wide elastic band, for example 3x3. Snud is knitted in a ring so that it can be put on his head and wrapped around his neck. The ears are knitted separately and sewn in place. For a little girl, it is more convenient to use not a snood, but a removable hood. It resembles a bonnet. You can link it like this:
- on knitting needles No. 2 or 3, depending on the desired size, dial 30 loops;
- knit a pattern of "pearls" in the length of 25-30 centimeters - this will be the ear-tie;
- add another 25 loops from the air loops and knit on 55 loops with a pearl pattern the size of the head is 65-70 centimeters high;
- then close 25 loops on one side and continue knitting on 30 loops to knit a second tie;
- sew the hood along the back seam;
- tie the ears according to the description above and sew them in place.
To make the hood look neat, it should be tied around the edge, for example, with a hook.
Why only cats?
