How to knit a fashionable hat
Once you have learned how to knit simple hats, you can move on to more complex patterns. In 2018, the following models will be relevant: a voluminous hat, a hat with earflaps, a beanie (also called a stocking cap, a sock, a cap), a turban, a hood (or a helmet hat), a model with a visor, a hat with a pompom, a double a mischievous hat with ears, a regular one with a lapel, a snood hat (or a hooded hat).
Fashionable voluminous hat made of large yarn
Universal size 53-54 cm.
Necessary:
- thick yarn 200 g
- circular knitting needles 10 mm, length 40 cm
- stitch marker
- thick knitting needle
Description:
Cast on 32 loops. Place a marker at the beginning of the row and join into a circle.
Knit with an elastic band as follows: *k2, p2; repeat from * to the end.
Work 14 more circular rows and decrease 2 stitches evenly, knitting 2 knits together in the last rib circle = 30 stitches.
Next, knit 12 circular rows with knit stitches only.
Track. round: knit 2 stitches together = 15 stitches.
Work 2 more rounds with knit stitches. Cut the thread, leaving a long tail. Thread the piece into a knitting needle. Slip all loops onto the thread. Pull and secure the thread on the wrong side.
Universal hat with earflaps for women
Size - 54 cm (head volume)
Necessary:
- 250 g yarn
- regular knitting needles 4 mm
The hat can be knitted in 2 threads.
Ears:
Cast on 6 stitches and start knitting a hat in garter stitch. At the same time, add 1 loop on both edges 6 times every 2 rows. Then knit straight for another 14 rows.
If you add more loops, your eye will be much wider. If you knit more rows, then your eyelet will be longer than in the photo. So, you have knitted 2 identical ears.
HAT WITH EAR FLAPS:
Now we collect everything into one product. To do this, on a long knitting needle, alternately cast on the loops from your ears and new ones for the front and back of the hat. Please note that at first the back of the hat will gradually increase in size and will eventually consist of two parts connected by a mattress seam. For a visual representation, look at the photo of the pattern.
Thus, you need to add 1 loop, knit the loops of one ear using knit stitch (or any other stitch, if you don’t want the option from the photo), cast on an additional 20 loops for the front of the hat, knit the second eye and cast on an additional 1 loop.
Continue knitting the hat using your pattern or stockinette stitch as suggested in the photo. At the same time, add loops to expand the back of the product in every second row on both sides of the knitted fabric 1 time for 2 loops and 1 time for 3 loops. This will be about 8 rows. This will be the full width of your header. If necessary, you can adjust it by adding more loops during the knitting process.
You need to knit about 16 more rows, which will be the height of the cap before tapering at the crown.
Decrease in this way: 1 edge loop *, 5 knit loops, 2 loops with a tilt to the right, 2 knit loops, 2 loops with a tilt to the left, 5 knit loops *, repeat from * to *, 1 edge -I'm a loop.
Decrease stitches in this manner 3 more times every 2 rows, and pull off the remaining stitches after 2 rows. Sew the hat at the back using a mattress stitch.
For the front lapel, cast on 20 stitches along the edge and knit in garter stitch to the desired height. then close all the loops and attach the flap in any suitable way.
For braids, you need to cut 18 threads 1 meter long, fold them in half and thread them through the bottom of the ears and braid them into braids.
Knitted beanie hat (stocking hat, sock hat, cap)
Necessary:
- circular knitting needles 4 mm
- 200 g medium yarn
- tape measure
Description:
First of all, using a measuring tape, measure the circumference of the head for which you plan to knit a hat. Let's say you get 56 cm. This means that you will knit a size 56 hat.
The second important step is to determine the knitting density. What does knitting density mean? This is the number of loops and rows required to knit a fabric measuring 10x10cm. What this means in “simple language” is to correctly calculate how many loops you need to cast on at the beginning of the work.
Cast on 22 loops and knit 10 cm in the pattern chosen for the hat.
Iron the knitted sample through a damp cloth. You don't need to smooth it out too much. Do this carefully, lightly “steaming” the sample.
Measure the prepared sample around the perimeter. Let's say you get a sample measuring 10x10 cm when knitting 30 rows. This means that the knitting density with this pattern will be 2 loops per 1 cm and 3 rows per 1 cm.
That is, for a size 56 hat you need to cast on: 56x2=112 stitches and knit 30 cm, that is, 30x3=90 rows.
Cast on the required number of stitches on circular needles. And knit in a circle, using the fishing line, with the previously selected pattern 25-27 cm up. You will get a knitted fabric in the form of a pipe. After 25 cm, start decreasing stitches by knitting 2 stitches together in every third row until you have 3 stitches left on the needle. When decreasing the stitches, knit the fabric in garter stitch. Break the thread from the skein, leaving about 10 cm, and pull it through the 3 remaining loops, knitting them together and securing the end on the wrong side.

Wool turban hat for the cold season
Necessary:
- 150 g wool yarn
- knitting needles No. 2.5 - 3
Knitting pattern: 1st row - 1 knit stitch, 1 purl loop. 2nd row - yarn over before the purl loop, and remove the purl loop without knitting; knit the front loops with your face. 3rd and all subsequent rows - yarn over before the purl loop, remove the purl loop without knitting, and knit the front loop and yarn over of the previous row together (grab from above).
The cap consists of two parts: the turban itself and the bottom. The height of the turban is 10-12 cm.
Description:
Cast on the height of the turban, approximately 24 loops, and knit a strip whose length is equal to half the circumference of the head minus 2 cm.
Then divide all the loops in half. Remove the left side with a pin and do not knit it temporarily, but knit 4 more rows on the right side. After this, swap both parts so that the right part goes to the left and on top of the left part. Next, put all the loops on one knitting needle and knit the second half of the strip.
If, when knitting the second half, there are two identical loops next to each other, then knit them together (so as not to knock the pattern), and at the end of the row add one loop. When the desired length is knitted, close the loops.
Now cast on loops along the entire length of the strip and knit 7 - 8 rows with an English elastic band, then 2.5 cm with a 1x1 elastic band. After this, start knitting the bottom: 2 rows with double stockinette knitting (knit the front loops with the face, remove the purl stitches, the thread remains before work). Then knit 2 stitches together across the face, so that the knit stitch is on top of the purl stitch. Knit 3-4 rows in simple stockinette stitch, then 2 rows across the face in double stockinette stitch, the next 1-2 knit rows in 2 stitches together. Pull the remaining 6-8 loops. Steam the bottom through a damp cloth.

An original bonnet (or helmet) for the very cold season
Necessary:
- 400 g yarn
- knitting needles No. 3
Description:
You need to cast on 31 stitches on the knitting needles and knit a transverse strip of any knitting that you choose yourself for a frill 110 cm long, so that it has a beautiful and finished look, then make the corners on it in shortened rows.
In each row, be sure to decrease the knitted loops by 2, that is, first you need to knit 29 loops on the front side of the product, then leave 2 loops intact, wrapping around the 30th loop and turning the knitted product to the wrong side, then knitting the entire row to the end.
In the next row on the front side, also knit 27 loops, leaving 4 loops intact.
Wrap around the 28th loop and turn it over again to the wrong side. Thus, knit the entire product.
Having stopped under-knitting all the loops of the corner, begin to knit the main part, increasing the rows, which will make it possible to change the direction of knitting. First, knit three loops on the front side, and in subsequent rows increase the number of loops by 2, but only knitted ones.
Having knitted the strip with the corners, on one side, cast on about 180 loops along the edge loops and knit the product with garter stitch. Then remove one stitch every three stitches on the next row. Repeat such decreases 2 more times. Then knit 5 cm in garter stitch.
After 5 cm for the main part of the hood, add evenly up to 90 stitches and again knit another 17 cm in garter stitch. Then select 30 loops in the center and knit only them, grabbing and knitting together - both at the beginning and at the end - 2 loops from the central part on each side. After all the central loops are connected to the side loops, close the remaining loops.
Hat with visor
Necessary:
- 250-300 g yarn
- circular knitting needles No. 2.5
- silicone visor
Description:
Cast on 80 loops, close in a circle and knit 4-6 rows in stockinette stitch, i.e. facial loops.
When I join in a circle, I leave a tail of thread to mark the beginning of the row. Divide the number of loops into three parts - 18 stitches, 44 stitches, 18 stitches. On 44 loops we will knit a visor, making an increase of 10 loops every 4 loops. We make an increase so that the visor fits well and fits comfortably in its pocket.
When the pocket for the visor is knitted and the decreases are made, we knit the second half of the headband.
We fold the fabric into pieces, throw the tail of the thread onto the face of the knitting (beginning of the row!). We knit one loop from the knitting needle, lift one and knit it from the cast-on edge. We reach approximately the middle of the visor, insert the visor blank and continue knitting loops to the end of the row, i.e. to the tail.
The upper part of the rim (i.e. the front) should be several rows larger than the inner one (to hide the holes from turning).
And so we have 160 loops on our knitting needles. You can start knitting the crown. We divide the loops into 8 parts (wedges) and knit a zigzag pattern. One wedge - 20 loops. Rapport-*from 1 pet. knit 3 loops, knit 8, 3 loops together (behind the back wall), knit 8* - repeat 7 more times. If you want a larger cap, you can add 16 stitches = 176 stitches. One wedge - 22 loops. Rapport-*from 1 pet. knit 3 loops, knit 9, 3 loops together (behind the back wall), knit 9* repeat 7 more times.
We knit the crown height we need, knitting one row in a zigzag pattern, one row evenly.
Tulya is ready. We begin to make reductions. One row is zigzag, one row is straight.
One row - we knit only 3 loops together, and we don’t make 3 loops from 1 loop, one row exactly.
When there are 16 loops left on the knitting needles, knit 2 loops together and pull them onto a thread.
The cap is ready!

Warm double hat for winter
Necessary:
- circular knitting needles;
- yarn of your favorite color;
- soft yarn for lining;
- tape measure;
- scissors;
- hook.
In order to knit a double hat of your size, you need to know the circumference of your own head. Determine it using a measuring tape. Write down the result and calculate the stitches for the set. A standard for which you need to knit a small square using a working thread will help you make the calculation correctly. Count the number of loops in one centimeter of the standard.
To knit the front part of the hat, multiply this amount by the circumference of the head in centimeters and add 4-5 loops for supply. For the lining, take yarn designed for knitting children's clothes. It does not prick and does not cause skin irritation.
Description:
Cast on the required number of stitches on two knitting needles folded together, pull out one of the knitting needles and start knitting an elastic band.
The most reliable elastic band is 1x1. It stretches well and retains its original appearance for a long time. Having knitted 5-6 cm of elastic bands, start stocking knitting. When knitting in the round, it is better to knit the front loops using the front thread, so they turn out more even.
Knit the main part of the hat with a height of about 15cm. Then start decreasing. If you decide to knit a double hat on radial knitting needles, divide the number of loops by 4, mark each part and first knit 2 loops together for each part. In this case, if knitting is done with a set of 5 knitting needles, knit 2 loops first on each knitting needle.
Once all the loops are closed, secure the thread to the wrong side of the hat with a crochet hook.
For the lining of the hat, cast on loops from the wrong side of the main fabric, immediately after finishing the elastic band. Don't forget to decrease 4-5 stitches. Knit in stockinette stitch. Tie the lining 1-2 cm shorter than the main part of the hat and close it according to the same pattern.
Wash knitted items by hand, in warm water, using special detergents for washing knitted items. They must be wrung out without twisting, but dried on a terry towel in a straightened form.
Hat with ears
Size 56-57.
Necessary:
- 150 g yarn
- circular knitting needles 4 mm
Description:
For the first “ear” you need to cast on 7 loops and knit in this order: 1Krom., 1IP, 1LP, 1IP, 1LP, 1IP, 1Krom.
The 2nd and all purl rows are knitted according to the pattern.
Once you have about 21 stitches on your needles, measure the length of the eyelet.
If the length is suitable, then set it aside and start knitting the second one.
If not, then knit directly the required length, but without adding loops.
Tie the second “ear” in the same way.
Then, on circular or stocking needles (you can knit on straight ones, but then there will be a seam along the back of the head, and the loops will need to be distributed taking into account this seam), cast on 33 loops, add 21 loops of the first “eye”, cast on 33 loops again, add 21 loops of the second “eye”.
Next, knit with a regular elastic band 1LP x 1IP for about 3-4 rows. Make sure that the elastic pattern is distributed harmoniously across the new cast-on stitches.
Those. for the front and back of the cap, which consist of 31 loops, distribute the loops as follows:
7 elastic loops, 6 elastic loops, 7 elastic loops, 6 elastic loops, 7 elastic loops = 33 loops in total; for the “ears”, each of which consists of 21 loops, distribute the loops in this way: 6 loops of the harness, 1 IP, 6 loops of the harness, 1IP, 6 loops of the harness = a total of 20 loops. Carefully shorten 1 loop, i.e. knit 2 loops together without ruining the pattern.
Knit straight, repeat the repeat of the “harness” according to the pattern, about 14-16 centimeters.
Then start decreasing stitches.
To do this, in every 4th row, reduce evenly throughout the entire row:
3 times 1/4 of the total number of loops
Check the height of the cap, if it fits, then pull the remaining loops with the end of the thread and secure them. As a rule, the height of a hat with ears can be from 20 to 22 centimeters. Perhaps some people like it taller.
If the height is not enough, then knit a few more rows in height, while shortening the existing loops, and close at the end.
For the ties, attach pieces of yarn to the ends of the “ears”. About half as long as the desired length of the strings themselves. Take the yarn in several threads for three parts, which you will then braid into a braid. This will be your tie. Tie a knot at the end and straighten the yarn at the bottom of the tie with scissors.
For the top of the head, make a pompom.

Winter knitted hat with lapel
Size 56-57.
Necessary
- 150 g yarn
- regular knitting needles No. 5
Description:
The number of loops should be divided by 4, plus 2 edge loops. If we knit for an adult, approximately 98 loops will be required: 96+2=98.
We cast on loops and start knitting the first row: remove the edge loop without knitting, then 2x2 elastic: 2 knit loops, 2 purl loops, always knit the last loop of the row (edge loop) purl to maintain even edges of the product. We always remove the first stitch of the row without knitting.
All further rows, both purl and knit, are knitted according to the pattern: 2 knit stitches above the knit stitches, 2 purl loops above the purl stitches.
When the required depth of the cap is reached, taking into account the lapel option you have chosen, we begin to make decreases from the next front row: we knit 2 purl loops together with a purl loop.
In the second row (purl) we knit according to the pattern: 2 purl loops, 1 knit stitch.
In the third row we decrease the knit stitches: instead of two knit stitches, we knit two knit stitches together. The result is a 1x1 elastic band: 1 knit stitch from two knit stitches, 1 purl loop.
Fourth row - according to the pattern: 1 purl loop, 1 knit stitch.
For the fifth row (front row), we knit two stitches together.
And the sixth, final row - purl all the loops.
As you can see, decreases when knitting a hat from a rectangle have the same principle as when knitting in the round, only adjustments are made to the front and back rows.
When knitting a hat from a rectangle, it is better to leave the tip of the thread sub-line so that it is enough for the back seam. We collect the remaining loops on it using a hook or a large needle, pull it into a ring and carefully sew the cap together. You can connect the edges of a cap in different ways (with seams), this is a reason for a separate article, but the main goal in any case is to make sure that the seam looks equally neat both on the front side and in that part of the back that will be visible when the edge of the cap is turned back . Remember this!
That's all. We tangle it, cut off the excess end of the thread and go to try it on.
I wish you interesting work and warm hats!
If you need a visual example, watch the video as knit a hat with a lapel on YouTube.
Hit of the season - snood hat
Necessary:
- 200 g yarn
- circular needles No. 5
First, decide on the width and length of the future product, and then knit a small piece with the knitting stitch you prefer. Having chosen the fragment you like, you can count the number of loops for the product. So, cast on the required number of stitches on circular knitting needles. The proposed snood must be knitted with a Polish elastic band. This knitting is not very difficult, and if you are knitting it for the first time, don’t be afraid, you will adapt quite quickly.
The resulting chain of loops must be connected into a circle and knitted.
First row: 3 knit stitches and one purl stitch.
Second row: two knit stitches, one purl stitch, and one knit stitch.
Third row: knitted similarly to the first row.
Fourth row: knit the same way as the second one.
Then continue knitting in cycles. Don’t forget that the wider the hat, the more effectively it can be placed on your head. |
Video "how to" “knit a snood hat” will help beginners learn in more detail the whole process of creating such a beautiful knitted creation.
How to knit a hat with a pattern
Hats with a pattern look more impressive, but knitting them is much more difficult, since you need to monitor both the shape of the hat and the pattern. Sometimes you get lost and have to start all over again. But if you are careful and practice on a small sample, you will succeed the first time.
English elastic hat
Necessary:
- wool yarn – 50 g at 135 m;
- straight knitting needles No. 4 – 2 pcs.;
- crochet hook;
- scissors;
- darning needle.
1. Find out the head circumference of the future owner of the headdress and be sure to make a small square of knitted fabric for the sample - the knitting density is always calculated individually. When knitting a hat with English elastic, an elastic, almost dimensionless product is created. In the described example, with a head circumference of 55-60 cm, a knitwear density of 18 loops for 46 rows, 78 loops are cast on for the headband of the hat. The knitting needles are straight and of medium diameter (No. 4).
You can start knitting a hat with English elastic without making an elastic border. At the same time, you can make the fabric of the product either with or without a turn. Please note: the 1x1 elastic band secures the edge well!
2. Knit the headband in straight and purl rows, alternating 2 knit stitches and 2 purl stitches. When 8 rows are ready, start knitting the hat with an English elastic band. In the first row of the pattern you will need to make even increases, bringing the total number of loops to 95.
To add loops, divide the row into equal sections, and knit an additional thread in each. To do this, grab and twist the transverse threads between adjacent loops.
3. Work the fluffy fabric with an English elastic until you reach a height of 25 cm from the edge of the rim. To form the main knitwear pattern, alternate stitches in the following sequence. In the first row of the pattern, do only knit stitches; start the second row with the edge loop (it can be removed unknitted); do the front one. Next, repeat the so-called double knit stitches, inserting the right knitting needle into the thread bow of the previous row. The final loops are the front and edge stitches.
4. Start the third row of English elastic also with an edge loop, then alternate double and regular knit stitches until there are only a couple of thread arches left on the left needle. Knit the first one as a double knit stitch, the second one will be an edge stitch. Repeat the pattern according to the finished sample of the second and third rows until you have made the main fabric of the headdress of the desired size.
5. Start shaping the crown of the hat. To round the knitted fabric and tighten it at the top, make uniform decreases in the forward and reverse rows: at the beginning, an edge loop; during a row of 3 thread arches are knitted together with a regular knit stitch; at the end - edging. In the next row, make decreases without leaving edges, always knit 3 loops together.
6. Cut the working yarn, leaving a tail about 10 cm long. Pull it over the open loops of the last row and drag it with the hook inside the hat. Form a strong knot.
7. Turn the hat wrong side down, steam the knitted fabric and carefully connect the side edges of the part. Make a neat connecting seam using a darning needle and thread from a working ball. To ensure that the stitching remains sufficiently elastic and the product does not deform, do not make the stitches too tight.

Stylish hat with braids
Necessary:
- 150 g yarn
- knitting needles No. 3.5,
- knitting needles No. 4, 5
I knitted it on two needles, because I have a large thread on circular needles and it results in a lot of tension and large holes between the loops, and I like it tighter. Then I sewed it together.
I cast on 96 stitches on the knitting needles. Knitting needles No. 3.5. Knitted in 2 threads, yarn with 20% wool, 135g per 50m.
I knitted a 2×2 elastic band about 6 cm.
Switched to knitting needles No. 4.5
Pattern:
- (p2, k6, p2, k2) - repeat until the end of the row.
- knit according to the pattern, where from inside to outside, where from faces to faces.
Knit 6 rows like this and in the 7th row make overlaps where there are 6 faces. (YouTube is full of videos on how to knit braids). I did this: I transfer 3 loops to a toothpick, knit the next 3, return these 3 loops from the toothpick to the left knitting needle and knit them too. Then, according to the pattern, 2 purl, 2 knit, 2 purl and again overlaps. So until the end of the row.
After these overlaps, we knit 1 row on the wrong side according to the pattern, I don’t count it.
And repeat all 6 rows again, overlap in the 7th
And repeat all 6 rows again and overlap in the 7th
In total, we made 3 braids. And from the beginning of knitting we knitted about 15-17 cm.
By watching in addition the video “how to knit a hat with braids for a woman,” you can easily master the science of knitting.
With the onset of cold weather, every person needs warm clothes. The hat will protect and warm your head. But, as always, for the new season I want to have a new thing that will not only be beautiful, but also warm. Buying a hat in a store that will meet all the requirements is not so easy. But there is a way out! You just need to buy high-quality threads and knit it yourself.
Hats for women and girls, knitted from variegated melange yarn, have a special charm. When knitting from colored yarn of sectional dyeing, a unique pattern is born each time, and even if you knit two things from the same ball with the same pattern - for example, a braid with a shadow - they will still turn out completely different. A beanie hat knitted from fluffy multi-colored melange yarn and a beret made from delicate velor will also look great. If you are afraid that the hat will not be winter enough, you can knit it either from warm wool or mohair yarn, or line it with a warm fleece lining.
For needlewomen who knit, a huge selection of yarn is offered. It can be different not only in color, but also in composition. The most practical and in demand for a long time is melange yarn. If you translate the word “melange”, you get “mixture”. It is a mixture of different colors and shades that is melange yarn.
There is a large assortment of such thread. You can even find colors that, it would seem, don’t even go together. Or maybe the thread is the same color, but in different, similar shades.
It was possible to get such a thread earlier, connecting different threads into one. Modern manufacturers use special technologies to produce real melange yarn. In it, one thread can be dyed in different colors.
Melange yarn is very interesting. It can be used for knitting various items, including hats. Thanks to the thread of different colors, the product is obtained with clearly defined stripes or areas that differ from each other. A thread with glitter will allow you to get an excellent iridescent fabric that will not leave others indifferent.
Patterns
Melange yarn has one undeniable advantage: there is no need to come up with complex and intricate patterns. Even if you knit the fabric with regular garter or stocking stitch, it will look original and elegant.
Melange yarn is a real find for beginners. First of all, there is no need to “suffer” with a complex pattern. Well, secondly, minor defects that may occur as a result of knitting will be completely invisible due to the diversity of the fabric. It’s best to start with a simple scarf and hat, and improve your skills over time.
If you knit a 1x1 or 2x2 elastic band from such threads, the loops will still not be very noticeable. So, The following simplest patterns are knitted from melange threads:
- stocking;
- shawl;
- any elastic band;
- rice knitting, etc.
Schemes of knitted patterns can be found on the Internet. The choice of pattern for the hat, as always, is yours. If you need a tight knitting, then you can knit braids; if the fabric needs to be moderately thin, then a simple stockinette stitch will do.
Patterns for women's hats
Depending on the thickness of the selected thread, yarn consumption will occur. When knitting a hat, a thin thread is folded in two folds so that the product is dense and warm.
To knit such a women's hat, you need to fold a thin thread in half. Finding out the number of loops needed to knit this pattern is very simple. You just need to knit a pattern sample according to the diagram or description, selected threads, and use it to calculate how many loops there will be in a centimeter. By measuring the circumference of your head and knowing the number of loops per centimeter, you can easily calculate the number of them for the product.
This pattern is made on 4 needles, but you can knit it on 2, but there will be a seam at the back.
Main knitting:
- row: k1, p3;
- row: k2, *p1, k3*;
- like 1st;
- like 2nd.
Since the description is quite simple, a diagram is not required for it.
You need to knit 20 cm with this pattern. After this you need to make decreases. To do this, on each knitting needle, first, you need to knit 2 stitches together. It turns out that 4 stitches are shortened in a row at once, and at equal intervals. Such decreases must be done eight rows in a row. Those loops that remain are simply pulled together with the working thread. The product is ready.
Hat knitted from melange raspberry yarn
Main pattern:
From the 13th row the pattern is repeated from the 1st row.
The required number of loops is cast on the knitting needles and knitted with the described 15 cm pattern. Next, the work continues with stockinette stitch. At a height of 25 cm from the start of work, you need to shape the bottom. At certain intervals, knit 2 stitches together. Several rows are repeated in this way, the main thing is that each subsequent decrease must be made above the previous one. The remaining loops are pulled together with a working thread. A side seam is made.
Knitted women's gray hat
This product is very interesting. To knit such a hat you will need melange yarn of medium density gray shades. In order to see how the pattern looks on these threads, you need to knit it using a diagram or description. Having received the sample, we make the necessary calculations and determine the number of loops for the product.
As you can see from the photo, instead of an elastic band, a wide headband is used, knitted with garter stitch. The top of the hat is knitted with a spikelet pattern. It can be made from vertical tracks of long dropped knit stitches in garter stitch. When decreases are made, these spikelets become closer to each other, and at the end of the work they are connected at the top of the head.
Let's get started.
We put the required number of loops on the knitting needles and knit with a garter stitch of 15.5 cm. Next, we begin to make decreases. Two loops are knitted together after the edge, and then each 7 and 8. At a height of 17.5 cm from the beginning of knitting, we decrease again. We knit the first two stitches, then we knit 2 stitches together, the subsequent decrease will be with every 5th and 6th loop.
When the canvas is 21 cm, you need to make spikelets. Knit: edge stitch, 2 stitches in garter stitch, *3 stitches in “spikelet”*, 3 stitches in garter stitch. Repeat from * to *. The spikelet is made only on 36 rows; there is no need to unravel below. There is no diagram for this pattern.
Having completed the “spikelet”, you need to tighten the remaining loops with a working thread and sew the product.
Women's hat knitted with thick knitting needles
With thick threads and thick knitting needles, a hat can be knitted in a matter of hours. There will be fewer loops to work with, and the height of the product will be knitted very quickly. The hat is knitted without a lapel and is decorated with a pompom on top.
The simplest pattern chosen for this hat is:
- facial surface;
- pearl pattern.
Knit stitch: all stitches are knit in the knit row, and purl in the purl row.
Pearl Pattern:
- row: knit, purl;
- row: the purl one is knitted above the knit one, and the knit one is knitted above the purl one.
The pattern is repeated like row 2. A pattern diagram is not needed, since the description is complete.
The loops cast on the knitting needles must be distributed so that the pearl pattern is repeated twice (in front and behind). For example: 15 loops in stockinette stitch, three loops in pearl pattern, 15 loops in stockinette stitch, 3 loops in pearl pattern. You need to substitute your number of stitches for the stockinette stitch. For a pearl pattern knitted with thick threads, 3 loops will be enough.
The proposed pattern knits 17 cm, then you need to make decreases. To avoid damaging the beautiful pattern, decreases are made on the front surface, at the beginning and end of the section. Knits 2 loops together beautifully. So, in one row you get 4 decreases. You need to knit 6 such rows, and after that, the remaining loops need to be pulled together with a working thread. The knitted product is ready.
