Fashionable berets for women: an overview, models, schemes with descriptions and recommendations

With the advent of the cold season in the wardrobe of most people there are different headdresses. They are bought, knit themselves or ordered from knitters.

Today it is quite easy to find a suitable model, as there is no definite fashion for a particular headdress. Hats, snacks or berets for women can be connected from almost any yarn, they are decorated with a delicate or solid pattern, embroidery, appliqués and other decorative elements.

Material for a knitted beret

Given that the headgear for a long time in contact with the scalp, you should use only quality yarn for their manufacture. Berets for women are usually knit from soft wool, for example, from merino. Also suitable is sheep's wool mixed with acrylic, cotton or nylon. It is important to use a thread that is not pricked. Otherwise, the beret will cause discomfort and skin irritation in the forehead and occiput.

If all the same material turned out to be tough, there are two ways out of the situation:

• Bind a beret for a woman, and then sew inside a lining of warm and soft fabric (flannel, fleece).
• Use a different (non-spinning) yarn for making the girdle.

However, these techniques will not be useful when working on knitted scarves. For these products, you only need to take a high-quality material, since they are in contact with a large area of skin around the neck.

How to tie openwork berets?

There are two methods for creating berets:

1. Knitting from the center to the waist (from top to bottom).
2. Perform the first belt, and then the rest of the fabric (bottom up).
3. Assembling the product from separately connected fragments (if they create berets for women).

It should be noted that when working with spokes, the second method is most convenient: it allows you to immediately type as many loops as you need for the girdle. In addition, controlling the size of the canvas is easier, cutting the loops, and not adding. This article will describe the knitting of the berth spirit by the second method.

Control sample and design calculation

Below are various berets for women (the patterns to the patterns are attached). First of all it is necessary to disassemble the knitting of the openwork pink headdress.

Here, a medium-thickness yarn was used, approximately 300-350 m / 100 grams. The thicker the yarn, the larger will be the rapports, and their number will also decrease. However, if you use too thick threads, the binding will be quite rough.

To find out how many stripes of the pattern fit in the beret's fabric, you need to tie a control sample (at least 10 cm in height and width). Measure it after steaming with an iron. For example, the density of the canvas was as follows:

• 22 loops x 10 cm;
• 30 rows x 10 cm.

Thus, in order to get the knitting needles for women (head circumference 56 cm), you need to dial 110 loops. For the calculation, the figure was 50, not 56, since it takes a little to stretch.

The width of the rapport is 8 loops, so the canvas accommodates 14 openwork strips. Based on these data, you need to adjust the total number of loops:

14 x 8 + 2 (edge) = 114 pieces.

Beginning of work

To knit the girdle on the circular knitting needles, the number of loops obtained in the calculation (114) is obtained. Then on height from three up to five centimeters carry out платоччную binding (facial loops in all numbers).

Algorithm for knitting an openwork cloth:

1. When the belt is ready, proceed to the execution of the pattern. It is desirable to mark the entire row with markers, indicating the boundaries of the rapports. True, in this ornament the role of the boundaries can be performed by the back loops (on the diagram it is the black point in the cage).
2. In the third and fifth facial series, the canvas is expanded by means of napids. This is done so that berets for women turn out to be voluminous. On the diagram, the places of formation of new elements are marked with a spindle-like icon.
3. In the seventh row appears a new symbol: a black triangle, denoting the contraction of two loops. With its help, the pattern is balanced, since the number of added and shortened elements becomes the same. To cut just two loops, you need to transfer the first to the right knitting needle, then the next two knit together. Then, the element obtained by cutting is dragged through the previously removed loop. So from three elements one turns out.

Repeat this procedure twice. Then proceed to the narrowing of the canvas.

Completion of beret knitting

The diagram clearly shows how after rapport the rapport begins to narrow. This is necessary in order to be easier to finish takes with knitting needles for women. With a description of the final stage, the handyman must be attentive. Do not blindly perform all the items, since the thickness of the selected yarn is of great importance. If the thread is thin, the product will turn out to be small. In this case, you need to tie another rapport straight.

To narrow the beret, the designers of the scheme intentionally violated the pattern balance: in several places the loops are shortened, but there are no wrappers. Therefore, the web gradually decreases.

When there are two loops left on each spoke from each rapport, they are transferred to a thick thread and tightly tightened. Then sew the product along the side seam, wash and dry. You do not need to steal the hats, since they then become too soft.

Circular scarf

In the diagram on the right is a pattern for knitting a small circular scarf. It also tapers slightly to the top edge. Circumference at the bottom should be 85-90 loops, and from the top 55-60. The optimal height of the scarf is 25 cm.

Begin and finish work with several rows of garter stitch.

White beret and long scarf

By the same principle, the next beret model is performed. However, here the band is connected by an elastic band and there is no expansion at the beginning of rapports (inclined lines show in which direction 2 loops should be cut).

The main part of the beret is made according to the pattern on the left (A.3). Its lower part is balanced, and higher cuts begin. During work, you need to monitor the size of the product. If necessary, you can repeat the bottom part to take it was wider.

When the A.3 pattern is completed, the ornament, designated as A.2, should be started. It is designed to complete the knitting of the beret. When the number of loops on the spoke becomes minimal (two pieces for each rapport), they must be put on the thread and tightened tightly.

Often berets for women knit together with scarves. For a classic long scarf, you can use an ornament located on the right and top of the chart (A.1). It is balanced and perfectly suited for the production of a flat cloth, that is, it has an equal number of added and reduced loops. The standard width of this scarf is about 25-30 centimeters, and the length is from one and a half meters.
