Children's hat knitted Photo:ShutterstockA warm baby hat is not difficult. Especially if you knit small children's things, such as hats, panamas or booties. If you want, then all you need is a skein of yarn, knitting needles and a little perseverance. For work, it is best to take natural wool or cashmere thread of a bright color so that the child will wear the thing with pleasure. The thickness of the knitting needles will directly depend on the yarn you choose, but they must be circular, then the hat will turn out seamless. It will be easiest to knit a baby hat with the simplest knitting - garter stitch, adding originality due to a bright horizontal pattern of stripes of a different color. To make the hat even more interesting, the stripes can be knitted of different thicknesses, adjusting the width by the number of knitted rows with a thread of one color. By choosing the right color of yarn for the hat, you can emphasize the advantages of your child. Do not choose a very thick thread, so that the product does not look rough and unaesthetic. If the yarn is too thin, then it is better to knit the hat in two threads
Description of the principle of binding
Before you begin, determine your density.knitting. Based on it, you will be able to correctly make all the necessary calculations. Please note that the circular knitting needle should be pointed at one end and tightly connected to the second knitting needle with a fishing line or flexible wire. When casting on the required number of loops, do not forget about the mandatory edge loops. It is better if the children's headdress is knitted with an elastic band. To do this, cast on loops on the knitting needles and knit the elastic band according to the pattern: two front loops, two back loops. Knitting a hat is quite simple with the front surface. The main principle here is to knit the front side with front loops, and the back side with back loops. Having knitted the required number of rows of elastic, you can, if desired, change the color of the yarn and continue knitting with the front surface, periodically alternating threads of different colors. The frequency and width of the stripes of the pattern will depend solely on your imagination and creativity. When the knitted fabric is about 14 cm long, you can close the loops. To avoid mistakes, you should try it on first, and if the hat is not deep enough, continue knitting. When the hat is ready, steam it and carefully sew it together, joining, if necessary, the back seam first and only then the top. The winter version of a children's hat can be decorated with decorative laces, tying them at the corners in the form of "ears" and lightly securing them with a thread, in case the lace comes untied. By the way, you can quickly make a lace yourself. To do this, choose the desired color of yarn, crochet a chain of air loops, decorating the ends with small balloons or large beads. You can decorate a baby hat in any other way, for example, with embroidery or bows, but in this case it is better to knit a single-color fabric without multi-colored stripes. For children who are only one year old, it is better to put on a hat made of thick fabric, which will warm perfectly and will not put pressure on the child's head.
