How to crochet a women's hat: photo instructions

Prepare 100 grams of yarn (50% wool, 50% acrylic).

2. Wind the thread around your finger.

3. Remove and make a loop by threading the thread into the middle of the circle.

4. Cast on loops (their number depends on the thickness of the thread). With a thread of this width, 5 loops are enough.

Another interesting hat knitting pattern

Incredibly beautiful summer option.

And this is a crochet hat for men.

Knitting a hat is simple and very interesting experience. But there is one area in this creative path with the help of which you can truly “break away” and use all your skills. These are children's hats. There are already so many of them and they're so cool that you want to knit everything at once.

There are two basic principles for knitting hats:

1) starts from the top from a ring with a thread (or a closed chain of loops), a circle is knitted, gradually turning into a flat lower part, ending with a ring or lapel.

2) starts from the bottom from a chain of loops equal to the circumference of the head (naturally, in terms of the pattern pattern), knits evenly, then decreases are made in the upper part, coming to nothing. This option is less convenient and the top is not so neat. You can knit in the round (it turns out to be a pipe) or simply with fabric, which is then sewn together.

There are other options - from separate sewn wedges, starting from the side, knitting a rectangle... But the first two are the most important for hats.

Basically, decreases are made in 2 ways:

1. Decreases in 6 places.

Divide the loops into 6 parts (wedges). If the number of loops is not divisible by 6, then you can make one or more wedges larger or smaller by alternating them. You can mark your knitting using pins or colored threads. Next, we make decreases at the beginning of each wedge. Moreover, we make the second decrease in the fourth row after the first. Next, make decreases in every second row. To get a more elongated bottom, you can make a third decrease in the 4th row from the second decrease. And then we also decrease in every second row. When 1-2 loops from each wedge remain on the knitting needle, break the thread and leave the end about 50 cm. Thread the end of the thread into the needle and collect all the remaining loops on this thread. We pull this thread through the loops twice so that there is no large hole. We sew the back seam with the same thread.

2.Decreases in 8 places.

We divide it into 8 wedges in the same way. We make decreases at the beginning of each wedge several times in every fourth row, then in every eighth.

The loops at the beginning of the wedge are also reduced in two ways:

1. 2 stitches together, knitting to the right. Thread at work. Insert the right knitting needle into two adjacent loops on the left knitting needle at once, grabbing the loops by the front walls. We knit the front loops.

2. 2 loops together with the front one, tilted to the left. We do the same thing, only we grab the loops by the back walls.

How to knit a beret.

From the point of view of creating a form, this is the most simple work. First, a circle is knitted, the diameter of which is approximately 27-35 cm. This value depends on what shape you want to give the beret, as well as on fashion. After this, the straight part of the beret is knitted with a height from the 1st row to 5 cm. The shape of the beret also greatly depends on the height of the straight part. When the beret is placed on the head, the flat part will create folds and volume along the fold. The larger the flat part of the beret, the greater its volume. After the straight part it is knitted Bottom part, on which, instead of increases, decreases are knitted. The end of the work is determined by fitting. The beret should fit tightly on the head.

Cap round cap

For such a hat, a circle is knitted with the traditional number of increases. Unlike a beret, the diameter of this circle is determined by the size of the cap. First of all, having taken a measurement of the head circumference, find the radius of this circle, remembering the formula: circumference = 2/Pi*R. Then, with a cap size of 56, the diameter of the circle can be 16-17 cm, taking into account the stretching of the knitwear. That is, when knitting the simplest hat such as a fez or skullcap, you need to knit an initial circle with a diameter of 17 cm. Then move on to knitting the even part of the hat without increases. The height of this part, as a rule, is determined by fitting, on average about 12-14 cm.

To obtain a rounded bottom, the diameter of the initial circle is taken smaller, that is, 10-12 cm. Then, to obtain a cap the right size, you will have to knit several rows that will round the bottom. When knitting a circle RLS in each row, 6 RLS are added (when knitting C1H - 12 C1H), and when knitting the transition part, you can either evenly add 3 RLS (6 C1H) in each row, or alternate rows without additions and rows with 6 -th additions (for C1H 12th additions). By knitting several such rows, you can see that the cap begins to take on the required form. If folded knitting double and measure the edge of the cap, you can get the size of the cap. Along the edge, the length of such a folded form should be approximately 27 cm (2 cm should be left for stretching the knitwear). Next, knitting will go in a circle without increments exactly to the height needed for this model (12-14 cm).

The cap is an elongated cap.

This cap shape can be obtained in two ways. You can associate the circle with the traditional number of increases in each row: for RLS it is 6 increases, for C1H it is 12 increases. The diameter of this circle needs to be taken smaller, that is, 6-9 cm. Then, to obtain the desired size of the cap, you will have to knit a larger number of rows for rounding. To do this, you can alternate rows with and without increases, or take half the number of increases in each row.

With the second knitting method, you can knit in a circle, making a smaller number of increases in each row from the very beginning of knitting. For RLS this is 5 increases, and for C1H - 10 increases in each row. So, making increases in each row, knit the hat to the desired size. In this case, the shape of the bottom appears to be predetermined from the very beginning and, unlike the previous method, it is difficult to change it.

Master classes on crocheting children's hats with patterns

It is possible to crochet a hat yourself, but you must first prepare necessary tools and attributes for work:

Hook. There are several types, depending on the material from which the tool is made (plastic, wood or metal) and the size, the choice of which is influenced by the type and thickness of the threads.
Yarn for knitting. Store shelves are full of colorful skeins of a wide variety of threads, which vary in texture, material from which they are made, and thickness. The choice of shade depends on the preferences of the knitter and the girl for whom the hat will be crocheted. And in thickness for summer period It is better to give preference to thinner threads (cotton); woolen ones are suitable for a warm headdress.

Accessories for decorating the product, for example, beads, rhinestones, sew-on figures, satin or grosgrain ribbons and other.

Openwork beret for a girl for the summer

To knit an openwork beret, you can use any circular knitting pattern you like, for example, the motif of knitting a napkin can be taken as a basis. And in order for the finished product to look voluminous and hold its shape beautifully, you need to choose a pattern where the edges of the product will be slightly folded. Let's consider a simple but effective option for crocheting a beret cap. To work you will need a hook, threads of two colors and satin ribbons of a contrasting shade for decoration.

Step by step knitting a hat:

We knit the base of the beret: we make a chain of 8 air loops and close it in a ring. Next we knit according to the pattern shown in the photo:

We knit a circle of the required diameter, after which we proceed to make the side part, using a thread of a different color. For knitting we use the pattern:

1st row - a closed chain of air loops with a length corresponding to the volume of the girl’s head;
Skip 2 - 3 loops in 4 and 5, knit two double crochets, and between them 2 chain loops.
3rd row - we knit 4 double crochets through the chain loops, dividing them in 2 with two chain loops. Repeat the motif until the end of the work.

We connect the two main elements and tie the seam with ruffles as a decorative element.
We narrow the product to the required size, knitting with regular stitches and finish the job.

To decorate a crocheted hat, satin ribbons, ribbon or crocheted decorations can be used.

Beautiful daisy hat

A crocheted daisy hat for a girl looks original and attractive. To create it you will need: hooks of two sizes, white and green threads, and to create decorative flower It is better to use Lotus yarn, as it holds its shape well, which eliminates the need to starch the product. Crochet a hat for a girl step by step:

We knit the base of the hat (bottom) using the pattern shown in the photo below.

We knit the bottom to the required diameter and continue working without making any increases.

When the work has the required depth, we tie the bottom of the product with single crochets of a different color, and to decorate the edge use the diagram below:

In order for the hat to live up to its name, you need to weave a chamomile to decorate the product.
To weave a chamomile, knit a chain of 6 chain stitches and close it in a circle, knit with single crochets. Pass the last loop through the circle without knitting and begin weaving a new petal. Make 6 elements in the same way, tying them. After this, we begin to weave the second tier, knitting 6 arches starting from the base of the flower.
We sew on the middle of the flower to hide the errors and give the daisy a finished look.

We knit the leaves as indicated in the photo presented, and decorate the individual petals with beads.

We collect all the elements, first sewing leaves to the hat, and a chamomile on top. A chic crocheted headdress is ready.

Crochet hat with ears

A crocheted hat with ears looks interesting and cute on newborn babies. The headdress is suitable both for walks and for a photo shoot of a toddler. To knit the product you will need yarn of the main color and some threads of a different shade to create ears. Let's consider step by step weaving hats:

We connect four air loops (VP) in a circle. Each new row begins with 2 VP lifts and ends with a connecting row.
We knit 2 half double crochets into each loop.
We make additions in each row, knitting two half-columns each time in the first loop of one motif. As a result of the additions on the 7th row, you should get 56 loops. For older children, it is worth knitting 3 more rows with additions.
Until the end of the work, knit all the loops with half double crochets until the product has the required depth.
We knit the ears, using connecting stitches, starting knitting on the top of the head on one side. To decorate the ear, we knit a circle of suitable diameter. How to knit ears, see the photo below:

Summer hat with a flower on the side

Any hat or panama hat, crocheted possible to decorate beautiful flower, which will give the product festiveness and sophistication. To weave a flower, various patterns can be used. It all depends on what size you need to get and what the needlewoman prefers. Step by step creation openwork hat decorated with a flower:

We make a ring from the VP chain and knit 15 double crochets into it (with s/n).
To get the required diameter, you need to make additions; in the 2nd row we knit 15 s/n, separating them with 1 VP.
Next, in each row we add 1 s/n to each loop until we get the bottom of the cap of the required diameter:

To knit the brim of a hat, beautiful and openwork, you need to knit 6 rows, as shown in the figure, the last row is knitted with a thread of a different color.

To create a flower, choose the motif that best suits the work, will not overload it, but will complement the product.

Finished hat, decorated beautiful rose ready.

Beanie with Pineapple pattern

The pineapple pattern looks original and cute and is ideal for knitting a children's hat. To work, you need yarn of the same color; if desired, the fields can be made contrasting. It is better to choose cotton threads; the pattern is clearly visible on them and it is not hot in such a headdress. Step-by-step work:

Close the chain of six air loops into a circle. In each VP, knit 1 double crochet.
3rd row – in each column we knit 2 double crochets, 2 ch, 2 dc, repeat in all loops.
4 – 3 air lifting loops, 1dc, 2 VP, 2 dc, 2VP, 2dc – weave according to this pattern from the end of the row into each VP arch of the previous row. Make additions in the same way until the bottom of the required diameter is connected.
We knit the main part of the hat of the required depth according to the photo:

To knit the fields, you can use any knitting pattern you like.
For decoration, a knitted flower sewn on the side can be used, satin ribbon, pulled into the bottom row of the main part of the hat or other decorative element as desired.

Children's hat with a bee

A summer hat for a girl can be decorated with a beautiful applique or a bee, which will give the product originality and uniqueness. The basis can be taken from a loving hat created in different ways, For example, loin knitting, circular, double crochets or any other option you like. As an option, you can make a bee cap, knitted with alternating black and yellow colors, decorated with antennae and other decorative elements.

To knit a bee for decoration, you will need threads of 3 colors: white (for the wings), black and yellow (for the body), decorative elements (eyes, antennae). To create a body, you need to knit an oval in a circle, alternating colors and adding loops at the beginning of the work, and at the end, narrowing the product. In order for the bee to hold the forum, it must be stuffed with padding polyester or other soft material. We knit droplet-shaped wings from white yarn and sew them to the base, glue on the eyes and the bee is ready for decoration.

Spiral knitted baby hat

It is possible to crochet a beautiful hat using a spiral weaving pattern. Using this method it will turn out interesting, original pattern, which is ideal for the spring-summer period. Before starting work, it is necessary to take measurements from the girl for whom the outfit is being designed - head circumference and depth of the product. When choosing threads, preference should be given to thinner and lighter threads; on such threads the pattern will be better visible and they will hold their shape. A knitted flower or ribbons can be used for decoration. Watch the video, which describes in detail how to crochet a hat in a spiral:

The first few rows are the hardest, then knitting is easier.

https://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/6604/124053456.b/0_82837_981c628c_orig.jpg

Be careful.
Insert the hook exactly into the back/far loop of the loop, otherwise the pattern will turn out different, not a 1x1 elastic band.
Periodically count the number of stitches in a row so as not to lose stitches or add extra ones.
Try to knit all the loops and stitches evenly, especially along the edges, so that there are no stretched areas or sagging threads in the fabric.
Watch which way you turn your knitting when moving from row to row, it depends on appearance edges.

Since the connecting column is the lowest in height of all the columns, the increment of the fabric is slower than with regular knitting. In addition, the speed is slowed by the habit of knitting the connecting stitch in two steps. To increase speed, you need to choose the optimal position of your hands and learn how to knit a connecting post in one step. About hand placement when crocheting here You can also find recommendations for left-handed knitters at the link.

Partial knitting
The hats are knitted crosswise in sectors/wedges. The crown is formed according to the principle of partial knitting, i.e. knitting in short rows.

The first method of partial knitting

https://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/6408/124053456.b/0_8351c_edbdf8c7_orig.jpg

Forming a “ladder” of the first sector and knitting the initial row of the next sector.
1 - the first sector is connected, it turns out to be a “ladder”
2 - start knitting the first row of the next sector
3, 4, 5 - we knit the cloves sequentially, here you need to work extremely carefully to knit the same number of loops as in the first row of the sector
6 - the first row of the second sector is knitted
7, 8, 9 - turn the work and knit the next row of the second sector, then we knit in exactly the same way as we knitted the first sector, according to the same pattern, so that we get exactly the same “ladder”
10 - again we do not knit the row to the end in order to get the first step of the “ladder” of the second sector
11 - all steps of the second sector are knitted
12 - repeating steps 2-6, close the steps of the second sector and get the first row of the third sector

Second method of partial knitting

Recommendations for choosing yarn and selecting a hook.
The yarn is selected depending on the season. For winter and autumn/spring, wool, acrylic or mixed fiber yarn are suitable.

And this is a sample made from double thread Alize Baby Wool Batik Design (40% wool 40% acrylic 20% bamboo, 50g 175m) 4mm hook

In addition, you will need scissors, a tapestry needle (with a blunt end), and a measuring tape. Knitting markers, a notebook, pen, and pencil for calculations may also be useful.

https://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/6509/124053456.2a/0_13e815_aa7440e0_orig.jpg

Sample and calculation
For the calculation, a head circumference measurement is required. The height of the hat is dictated by the style. For head-fitting hats, you can use the table data when calculating

https://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/5820/124053456.2a/0_13e826_6c2cec9f_L.jpg
Table from here

We knit a sample to determine the knitting density. It is advisable to wash it according to the recommendations on the label, then dry it without stretching it. Then, on a slightly stretched sample, we count the number of loops/stitches horizontally and the number of scars vertically (1 scar = 2 rows).

Let's do the calculation. The direction of knitting the hat is along the circumference of the head. For example, horizontally 5cm=17 stitches, which means for a hat height of 22cm the cast-on chain will be 75 stitches, and vertically 5cm=10 stitches, which means 55cm (head circumference) will be 110 stitches. Since the hat is knitted in sectors/wedges, it is necessary to distribute the resulting number of hems among the sectors. I selected the ratio of 11 sectors of 10 rubles = 110 rubles.

Errors in determining the number of sectors.
The number of sectors can be reduced or increased. The more sectors there are, the easier it is to correct the knitting if an error has crept into the preliminary calculations. It will be enough to tie or loosen one or two sectors so that the hat fits the circumference of the head.

https://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/9748/124053456.2a/0_13e817_44021f4e_orig.jpg

Errors in determining the length of the typesetting chain
At first, especially when working with unfamiliar yarn, errors occur in determining the length of the cast-on chain. If the dial chain is short, the height of the hat is insufficient. If the typesetting chain is long, the height, on the contrary, turns out to be excessive. What to do in such cases? If you don’t want to bandage your hat, if the height is not enough, you can tie a strip of the required width at the bottom

https://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/6414/124053456.2a/0_13e818_60c7627b_orig.jpg
If there is excess height, you can turn the excess outward or turn it inside out. If these options are not suitable, you will have to undo the hat and bandage it.

Video of the process of knitting a hat (no sound, all explanations are included in the credits).

We collect a chain of 75 air. loops + 1 air. lifting loop and knit the “ladder” of the first wedge using partial knitting using the first method according to the algorithm
1 rib – leave 1 loop undone
2-7 scars – leave 2 loops unknitted
8 rib – leave 4 loops undone
9 rib – leave 5 loops unknitted
10 rib – leave 6 loops unknitted
In total, 11 such wedges/sectors need to be connected.
At the end of knitting, carefully pull the loops at the top of the head, sew the edges and tuck the tails into the fabric.

The yarn consumption is about 2/3 of a 100g skein.

To knit from other yarns, you need to make your own calculations.

Examples of hats
Using the same principle, you can knit a variety of hats.

Hats covering ears
These hats differ from simple ones only in the figured bottom and the presence of ears. The technique of knitting with connecting stitches allows you to create a figured edge.

The process of knitting a hat with a lapel
patterned after Rib Stitch Cap design Nancy Nehring

No description. I knit according to the picture.
YarnArt Crazy Color (35% wool, 65% acrylic, 100g 260m). Hook 3.5mm.
I knitted a sample and determined the density, approximately 5cm - 13 loops. Cast-on chain 78 ch (10 loops - crown decoration, 50 loops - hat, 18 loops - lapel) + 1 ch rise. I didn’t count the number of sectors in advance. I will knit and try on.
In this hat I decided to do partial knitting 2nd method https://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/4509/124053456.2a/0_13e816_779b45c1_orig.jpg
The sector is five hems, but decreases are knitted in only four hems. The last, 5th scar is knitted completely without decreases (i.e. the entire row to the end), this will be a decoration for the top of the head.

Cast-on chain 78 ch + 1 ch rise. Markers mark the 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th loops

To ensure that there are no holes in the fabric on the line where the wedges meet, you need to insert the hook into the step loop and the back wall of the loop of the previous row and knit them together.

We knit three steps of the ladder by picking up the loops, and we knit the last 4th step in reverse, without picking up the loop. The holes that are created there will be useful to us in order to tighten the decoration on the top of the head.

The wedge is knitted. The last row of the wedge should have 78 stitches, just like in the cast-on chain. You can remove the markers and mark the 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th stitches again.

Knit the remaining wedges in the same way as the first.

Knit as many wedges as needed so that the hat fits the circumference of your head.

There are 18 wedges in total in this hat.

Making a seam

A correctly executed seam can only be determined by a small scar on one side. When the hat is on the head and the elastic is stretched, this scar is very difficult to see.

The finished hat is like the original with a turn up...

But you can wear it as a beanie.

I wish everyone to wear more hats, good and different!
Easy loops for us!

Photos of hats can be added to Album for finished works

In this article I will tell you in detail about how to crochet a hat.

There is more than one way of knitting - depending on the pattern, style, etc.

You can crochet a hat in the round - seamless knitting, or you can use longitudinal rows (along the hat) and connect the edges with a seam.

Hats crocheted there are different ones. Therefore, the methods of knitting them are also different. For example, some hats are knitted starting from the top of the head. As, for example, in the photo:

Others, on the contrary, knit starting from the bottom edge or from the elastic band and towards the crown. Like this hat with a braid pattern:

There is another way how to knit a hat crochet, which is very different from the first two. When the hat is knitted in turning rows lengthwise. One row goes from the bottom edge to the crown, the next - on the contrary, from the crown down and so on. Detailed wizard- a class on knitting such a hat (with the most valuable excerpts from my experience) you can download for free here:

And what a variety of patterns for crochet hats– these are both voluminous patterns, for example various braids, and simple, but no less beautiful.

If the hat is planned with an elastic band, it can also be knitted in different ways.

The most common types are:

Elastic band made from simple single crochets (cm in)
Elastic band made from half double crochets
And also an elastic band tied raised columns in a circle (As in my

Simple crochet hat

So, to create this hat we will need:

We will knit the hat not in the round as usual, but lengthwise, in rotating rows.

The number of loops that you need to cast on depends on what kind of hat you want to knit - with an elongated crown or a close-fitting one, also with or without a lapel.

If the hat has a lapel and the crown sticks out, we dial 70 VP+1 VP
For a hat with a lapel, but without an elongated crown, dial 50VP+1VPP
If the hat is without a lapel with an elongated crown – 45VP+1VPP

Designations:

VP - Air loop

Runway - air lift loop

Those. 70 VP+1 VP - this means you cast on a chain of 70 chain stitches and 1 chain lifting loop, then turn the knitting and knit the first row.

Knitting a beanie hat

We will knit such a hat with regular single crochets (SC), capturing both walls of the loop. This is its difference from when we captured only the back wall of the loop.

We cast on the required number of loops in the chain - 70, 50 or 45 loops - depending on what kind of hat you will knit - plus one lifting chain stitch.

We unfold the knitting and knit the first row with regular single crochets.

Attention! The first 12 loops are knitted, and in the 12th loop place a marker (or a paper clip, a thread of a different color - whatever you have on hand).

We knit the second and all other rows of the hat with single crochets, capturing both halves of the loop as in the photo! That is, the loop has 2 walls, or 2 halves, we insert the hook, grabbing both halves of the loop, and pull the working thread through them.

We get 2 loops on the hook:

We grab the working thread again and pull it through these 2 loops. The single crochet is ready.

Knitted the row to the end. We make 1 runway (lifting loop), unfold the knitting and knit the 2nd row.

When we reach the marker, we remove it. In the same 12th loop where the marker was, we also knit 1 sc (single crochet), and in the next, 11th, 1 connecting stitch. That is, we insert the hook into the 11th loop, grab the working thread and pull it through this loop and the loop on the hook at the same time. You will find more details on how to knit a connecting stitch here:

Now we make 1 lifting loop again, unfold the knitting and knit the next row.

We knit all subsequent rows with single crochets on both sides of the loop.

Important point!

In order for the bottom edge of the hat to be elastic, and the hat to sit comfortably and not pull your forehead, you need to stretch out the last loop of the descending row more. We also knit this last loop, grabbing it by both walls so that the edge of the hat looks neat.

Ascending row - goes from the bottom edge of the cap to the top of the head.

Descending row - we knit from the top of the head to the bottom edge of the hat.

Photo 1 - Insert the hook into the last loop, grabbing it by both walls, grab the working thread and knit it, (remember - it is important to pull the loop stronger) we get 2 loops on the hook.

Photo 2 - we pull the loop harder like this - we get 2 loops on the hook.

Then we grab the working thread again and pull it through these 2 loops.

So we knit in turning rows until we knit all 12 remaining stitches J

We will get the first wedge, as in the photo.

How many wedges will there be?

It depends on the size of the hat and the thickness of the yarn and hook. If you crochet number 3 - 3.5 - then we usually make 7 wedges, for a head circumference of 55-58cm.

If we knit with thicker yarn and hook number 4 or more, then we need no more than 6 wedges.

But the best thing is, when you have knitted 5 or 6 wedges, try on the hat, try to connect its edges on the forehead. If the hat has not stretched too much, it means that it has been knitted enough.

When the first wedge has been knitted, we knit a descending row: make 1 runway, turn the knitting and knit a descending row - the first 12 loops. At 12th we put the marker again and finish the row. And the ascending row - we reached the marker, removed it, and in this 12th loop we will knit 1 sc for both walls of the loop, in the next loop - 1 connecting stitch. Next, runway 1, turn and knit a descending row. This is how we knit the 2nd and other wedges.

Connecting the edges of the hat

We fold our hat lengthwise and “sew” the edges, starting from the bottom of the hat, using connecting loops.

BUT we are already capturing only back half loops. Then the seam will be neat and less noticeable.

We hook the back half-loop of one and the other edge, grab the working thread and pull it through these 2 loops on the hook at the same time. So until the very end of the crown.

Important! Try not to pull, knit loosely, or crochet bigger size. Then the edge will be smooth.
