Knitting a hat by scissors and crochet: types of patterns, schemes and ways of knitting with a description (116 photos).

During the cold season, everyone remembers the warm accessories that keep you warm and effectively complement the stylish image. Having mastered knitting a hat with your own hands, it is easy to add to your collection of fashion accessories without additional costs.

A lot depends on the experience of the craftswoman, so it is better to try to knit something yourself for a child, then for yourself.

Elegant and neatly made product will favorably emphasize the oval of the face, so it is recommended to perform for winter several different styles, which are knitted with scissors or crochet.

Choosing the thread and needles for knitting a hat

A beautiful product can be knitted with regular knitting, shawl or stocking, but much depends on the skill. Luxuriously will look sets - knitted winter hat plus snood (circular scarf) and mittens with their own hands.

A stylish product with their own hands is a combination of several components:

• the correctly chosen style, corresponding to the new trends in fashion;
• quality yarn;
• the right choice of thickness of a needle or crochet to get a perfect density of knitting;
• The style and pattern of the knitted product;
• the color of the yarn, corresponding to the type of face - a harmonious addition to the winter image.

Yarn for winter clothing should be slightly thicker than for summer clothing. Yarns for warm garments should include wool, down (angora), alpaca, or camel's mohair.

Useful tips for choosing yarn for hats:

1. Blended yarn is the most practical, it is warm enough, but gives less shrinkage than pure wool spools.
2. Fluffy "angora" and long wool mohair is a very warm yarn. It is suitable for warm clothing in cold climates, especially with frequent winds. In the southern regions in such products can be hot. It is possible to ease the heat exchange with patterns with a jersey.
3. Coarse-knit hats are in vogue today, but hollow-core polyester mega yarns are available for plaids, handbags, and rugs. It's not the best choice for hats, but you can weave a snood on your hands in literally a couple of hours.
4. "Cold" yarns are linen, cotton, viscose and bamboo. This is for crocheting summer hats for women and children.
5. If the 2 types of yarn are not satisfactory in quality, try knitting a sample of two different quality yarns, but close in color. Often the addition of fluffy, fleece or wool yarn to synthetic acrylic yarn gives the desired effect.
6. Thin bobbin wool should preferably be rewound in 2-3 folds, it is suitable for knitting children's hats and men's products.

Pay attention! When there are 3-4 types of yarn, it is recommended to tie a few samples of 10x10 cm selected pattern. This will help to determine which yarns are better suited, and the product will look great with the pattern you like.

For the usual "winter" yarn suitable needles number 2,5 - 3,5.

Methods of knitting hats

Hand-knitted hats are classified according to different characteristics:

1. Season - warm winter hats, demi-seasonal things and openwork handmade for summer days.
2. Age - children's items, youth, women's and ladies' hats.
3. Gender specifics - women's and men's models, as well as unisex (fits everyone). These are caps, stocking caps, skullcaps, rastamanka with dreadlocks.

Important! Today there are many people on the streets who are absolutely tasteless in their choice of hats. Pensioners often wear youth hats with a fur pompom or bini hats made of bright yarn, but they are more suited to ladies' hats. A teenage girl grandmother can knit a turban, "cockerel" or a large beret "over the back", focusing on her taste and experience of youth.

Children's hats-cats and hats-whats are models for children, not for their moms who are over 40. Not everyone goes with fashionable styles, even if they are well chosen by age and gender. Not everyone will go with a French beret, hooded scarf, cowl or winter panama.

Stylists say that hats with ears or pompoms are not "ultra fashionable" hats for a long time. The universal craze for outdated styles can be justified only by the fact that "the other does not go" or there is nothing else.

Otherwise, there are no restrictions on the choice of model, whether it is a hat or a beret.

Classic styles are actual:

• Warm tacori hat (English band with double lapels);
• capi (gavroche, cartouche, beret with a moderate volume visor);
• berets of different sizes, with or without a cap;
• Knitted cap with a wide elastic band;
• bini hat (only for young people);
• knitted hat with rigid sides downwards (similar to a panama);
• double stocking hat (worn with a crease at the back of the head);
• a two-turn scarf-snood worn with the other half on the head.

Among the neutral models, which are worn by adherents of the classics, we can remember hats with lapels - for men and women. This is a warm accessory, which is firmly entrenched in modern fashion.

Earflaps, which can be lapel and lapel ears lined with fur, are comfortable products, almost go with almost everyone.

Knitted hats with Scandinavian patterns and large braided flagellation are a trend for all times. Today, models with differently shaped protruding top are popular, but the fashion for them is already passing.

For middle-aged and older women stylists recommend voluminous berets and cross-knit hats with large braids. Good look "boyarka" and hats-tablets with a rigid base.

Hats of different styles, including knitted products - for middle-aged women, the style and width of the sides are chosen individually.

Types of patterns for knitting a hat

The most comfortable knitted hats are knitted with elastic knitting. They include different types of elastic bands, textured patterns and voluminous flagella on the background of the wrong rows.

Important! If little experience, to begin with it is better to practice on simple models.

Women's models are quite diverse, they can be performed in any technique:

• Tunisian knitting with a long crochet;
• including enterlac (slanted squares in spits);
• freeform (the rows are knitted randomly in different directions, changing color and pattern);
• brioche (double yarn knits).

Children's products should impress with their charm. Babies will suit products in the form of animal faces, hats-ears and simply warm products tightly framing a child's face.

It is important to take into account that children grow up quickly, so a son or daughter can choose a style with a lapel, tied with a puffy elastic band. A winter hat should be deep, partially covering the ears.

Advice! Choose a warm "non-biting" yarn in bright colors, decorate with a pompom. See suitable crochet and knitting schemes for children's hats.

Decide on the size

Beginner knitters often have trouble - the product is beautiful, but too small or very large, falling off the head. However, miscalculations happen even with experienced mistresses.

It depends on various nuances, including the quality of the yarn and the correct number of loops.

The main measurements are the volume of the head (in adults - 53-58cm) and the depth of the product.

Dividing in half the depth of the product is the length of the hat at the end. A bini hat or other model with an empty crown (flat or peaked) - add another 7-8 cm.

According to the general principle (product depth + reserve for sagging crown) it is easy to calculate the set of loops for a hat by cross-knitting.

How to correctly calculate the number of loops

Calculating the set of loops, take into account the pattern - some "rubber bands" shrink a lot after washing, others spread. For elastic products is better to add 7-10 loops.

The basic calculation is based on the basis - the rubber band or lapel, adjacent to the face. If a hat is knitted in two patterns (elastic band and puffed flagellation), it is important to make sure that both fabrics have approximately the same width, but different density.

Useful tip: To make your hat fit tightly to your head, knit the elastic tightly - with thinner needles.

To calculate the number of loops, knit a sample in the same pattern and on the same needles (the same hook) as the upcoming work. A 10x10 square pattern is enough and calculate the number of loops (without the selvedges).

Example. The volume of the head is 55 cm. In the sample with the pattern - 18 loops. We calculate the number of loops - 18 on 5,5. You will get 99 stitches. You can round up to 100, to make it more convenient to calculate the deduction of the crown.

Woman's hat for beginners by crochet

Some beautiful models assume the possession of a hook. Rows with columns without stitches are obtained quite densely - the thing will not be cold. Such models are knitted on the same principle as things with spokes - it is important to make a competent design of the trimming on the crown.

To make the thing look neatly made, it should be properly sewn, washed, without stretching. Simple things can be decorated - embroidered with pebbles, pearls or beads.

Often such hats are complemented by a flower, made by crochet from the same threads, or other decorations.

Three-dimensional hat

You can choose a product with a transverse elastic band or volumetric knitting. Of the different models, it is better to choose the one that looks beautiful and knits very simply.

Often they look quite effective due to the yarn or voluminous pattern - "cones", "raspberries", "French ribbon".

Literally 2-3 hours will connect a fashionable product with a lapel front smooth on thick needles. Lapel will get inside-out smooth, but this is the beauty of the volume of the hat.

It is important to make a correct calculation, tying the sample for 10-15 loops, 7-8 cm in height, to determine the number of loops to set.

If the usual winter hat is typed about 90-100 loops (needles number 3-3,5), the thick yarn knit on number 4-5, it is enough 60-70 loops, depending on the thickness of the yarn.

Further the product is knitted to the desired height. Towards the crown you need a reduction - 2 together with the front stitches on the front rows every 5-6 loops.

Attention! It is better to do the top of the crown by one of the ways of the free master class. Some of the trimmings involve dividing the total number of loops into 4, 6, or 8 wedges, while others involve a chaotic reduction in the number of loops in the front rows.

Bini hat

Youth sports models with a hollow crown are knitted with an elastic band, a little tighter in volume, otherwise the product will fall on the face because of the extra volume.

How to knit a top - flat "scoop" or pointed? Depends on the model and how you design the top.

The easiest way is to divide the number of loops by 4:

• The first quarter is the right back half before the trim;
• 2 parts - for the front;
• The 4th quarter - the back left side.

These places to mark the pin (another marker). then do the abatement a few rows until the rounding is formed. Next, close all the loops and neatly sew the bini - should get a "shoulder blade.

Other examples of decorating the top requires more experience, but you can use the master class.

Useful tip! For sports men's models choose a warm smooth wool or half-wool. Women's bini is better made of fleece, but not very fluffy yarn. You can mix any yarn with a yarn "kidmoher" or "mink down" (commercial name of rabbit angora) of the same color.

Important: Bini knit "stocking" or with a lapel. Shape top varies, depending on the model (blunt angle or rounded).

Cap with lapels

A sports cap will be beautiful even with the usual rubber band - 1x1. Lapel may be double or single. This method makes it possible to adjust the length of the cap in height and make a comfortable fit. Lapel cord insulates the product and makes the hat look more voluminous.

Similar models are knitted with a puffed rubber band:

• "pearl";
• half-patterned;
• "Polish;
• "French"
• "English.

Important: Some patterns look different on the face and on the wrong side. The lapel is the main part near the face, it should be on the front.

The easiest option is to knit any two-way elastic pattern, such as the 2x2 (with or without crossing) . This is an alternation of 2 front or 2 back loops, the wrong side is how the loops lie.

Chalma hat .

Today this style is back in fashion. But the turban does not suit everyone, it should be worn under women's coats with flapping floors, like a robe. A simple headdress looks stylish, but knits quite simply.

The main element that distinguishes the "turban hat" is the crossing of the fabric in the front.

This element can be done in different ways, for example, knit a strip (the width of the large lapel), then split, crossed by 8, and then knit the crossed parts together to the desired volume. The bottom is knitted separately with the traditional circular knitting.

We offer a photo of "turban" for a visual acquaintance with the model.

Hats for Men

Men do not often order handmade hats to craftsmen, even more rarely wear products connected by crochet. They are usually worn by fashionistas and stylish men who want to diversify their masculine image.

The simplest product is a striped or plaid hat made of yarn remnants. The best look tight-fitting products made of black, blue or dark gray yarn with contrasting stripes or breaking into 3 blocks.

We offer stylish models for men, perhaps some will be able to repeat even beginners.

Men are not very fond of hand-knitted products, but there are lovers of dandy in something exclusive. These "fashionable men" choose a helmet and a hoodie collar, made by spit or crochet.

The simplest decor for men's head patterns:

• "company" tag;
• embroidered "label";
• a strap with a clasp on the back seam.

For a boy - knitting a hat by scissors, complemented by gloves and a scarf of the same color. For men are suitable sets consisting of a warm sweater and a headpiece made from leftover yarn.

A classic is a ski hat with an elastic band and a two-color jacquard, the so-called Norwegian patterns. The pattern is made by flipping yarns of different colors and skipping another yarn. The top can be sewn with an envelope or gathered with soft folds under the pompom.

Cap for baby

Cap for a newborn baby seems simple, but it is knit not from the forehead to the crown, and from the face to the back of the head. Such products are better to perform under a detailed description, but take into account the volume of the child's head, which may differ from the description of 2-3 ms.

It is necessary to choose a moderately warm "non-biting" yarn of a light shade, not necessarily pink or blue. While waiting for a baby whose sex is unknown, you can choose white, yellow, green or beige.

For more details - knitting scheme for a hat for a newborn.

Any hat is easy to knit with your own hands, focusing on the description, schemes or presented models. Perhaps there will be difficulties with the trimming or calculation of the loops.

Don't be afraid to untie and re-tie, it's an invaluable experience. Do not be lazy to view detailed master classes or video tutorials, where real craftswomen share their experiences.

Experiment with the color of the yarn and the selection of patterns - so are born masterpieces of handmade.
