You haven't done an inventory of your chest for a long time.for needlework? Surely there are some yarn scraps lying around there that you feel sorry to throw away, but have nowhere to use. Especially if it is lightweight yarn (cotton, acrylic, silk), from which you can’t knit socks and mittens. So the balls roll around in a chest or basket, patiently waiting for their time. Let’s take on such a useful thing as crocheting for children. Namely, a smart summer hat for a little lady. However, if you don’t have a problem with “disposing” of yarn scraps, then this is no reason to refuse your child a new thing. Especially since for us, smart girls and needlewomen, it’s a piece of cake. And how many stormy joyful emotions will such a summer hat cause in a little princess? That's right! So, we take out the remaining balls of yarn from the chest or run to the nearest store for new yarn and get to work!
Magic cap of yarn remains
First, we extract all the remaining balls andWe sort them by footage and color scheme. Cotton threads are better suited for a summer hat, but you can also use acrylic or microfiber. You can combine colors as you like: you can choose yarn to match, or you can use a contrasting combination, you can use only two colors, or more. So, we have prepared the yarn, selected the hook, and let's get started. We begin knitting a classic flat cap, which will magically turn into a flirty hat for a little lady. Using multi-colored yarn, we compensate for the complexity of the openwork pattern and stop at simple columns.
Having knitted the magic cap, we proceed todecoration. You can decorate the hat with a satin ribbon, sequins, beads. And best of all - with knitted flowers, leaves, berries and butterflies. This is where all the colorful yarn scraps will come in handy. We knit decorations, collect bouquets, decorate our hat with them and present them to the little lady. By the way, the hat can be made simply striped, and then additional knitted flowers may not be needed. Crocheting for children is so exciting that even mothers and grandmothers remember their childhood, and therefore fairy tales and favorite fairy-tale characters. Well, tell me, who among us has not imagined themselves in the role of Cinderella, Snow White or Little Red Riding Hood? Surely our little princesses also dream of magical adventures. So let's give them the opportunity to feel like a fairy-tale heroine.
Little Red Riding Hood
For such a hat we will need a hook of the firstand the second number, as well as red yarn. We will knit a hat for Little Red Riding Hood using the principle of an elongated cap. We decide on the type of columns and knit using the same principle as in the first option, only with fewer increases. If we knit with single crochets, then we start increasing in the first row with five columns. And then we make five increases in each row. If we knit with double crochets, then we start with ten increases in the first row and add ten in each subsequent one. So we knit to the desired size of the hat and move on to the crown, which we knit to the desired height of the hat. And then it's the turn of the brim. Yes, we will make a hat with a brim! With a smaller hook, we knit three rows of brim (making uniform increases). Then we take a larger hook and knit three more rows. We tie the edges of the brim with a crayfish step, taking a small hook for this again. The hat is ready. We decorate it to our taste and taking into account the wishes of the main character.
Variations on the theme
Considering that crocheting for kids will takeIf you have a minimum of time (a couple of evenings), try yourself in the role of a good sorceress and knit different types of hats as described above. Firstly, try to play with color and combinations of different colors in one product. Secondly, do not skimp on decorations. The more interesting and diverse the hat is decorated, the more the child will like it. And thirdly, use patterns of interesting openwork patterns to make the hat not just knitted, but lacy. If you do not know which pattern to choose for the hat, then you can safely opt for patterns for openwork napkins. The result will be excellent! Believe me, crocheting hats for children of any age will give you a lot of positive emotions. It will not take you much time. This will give you the opportunity to feel not just a needlewoman, but also an artist, and even a sorceress. In the end, it will make you once again experience the feeling of tenderness and boundless love. Because everything we do for children, we do with love! We recommend reading:
