We knit a hat with knitting needles for children

We all know that children are the most responsive and grateful beings in the world. They are able to rejoice in any little thing that they are presented as a surprise. And if this is not just a gift, but a useful thing that mom or grandmother made with her own hands, and she can be constantly bragged about, wearing herself, then there is simply no limit to their happiness. So let's please our kids by tie them beautiful, original caps!

As with any knitting, when we knit a hat with knitting needles, the first thing that you need to get started with is calculating loops. That is, we need to determine how many loops wide and rows in height will fall on a 10 x 10 cm square with the thickness of the thread and spokes that you have selected. Of course, you can rely on the already available description of the work and the author's calculations. But when we knit a hat with knitting needles, then, without noticing it, we adjust the work to ourselves, reducing (increasing) the tension of the thread, making the loops more free or? Conversely, tight, which, in turn, leads to a change in the size of the finished product. That's why you need to knit a test sample.

Having determined the number of loops (KP), which are 10 cm wide, and measuring the head circumference (OG) of the baby, we calculate how many loops should be typed. Calculation is made by the following formula: OG: 10 × CP. To the resulting number, add 2 edge loops if we knit the cap with knitting needles not in a circle, but in a straight line (with a seam from behind).

It is better not to type hinges for headgear in the traditional way (such a stretch does not stretch well, and stretching does not restore the shape), but by an Italian set. This is done as follows:

1. With the help of an additional thread, we recruit two times less loops than is supposed by calculations. Having finished the set, we tie the main thread to the ends of the additional thread and then we will knit the next series with it.
2. The first row is knit, alternating the front loop with the crochet. Turn the knitting with the wrong side to yourself.
3. The second row - nakidy perform facial loops, and the purlins are skipped (the thread must be in front of the loop). Turn the work to the front.
4. In the third and fourth series, we repeat the same thing as in the second.
5. Next, we knit with a regular elastic band, double or single, at your discretion.

The only clarification: for a 2 × 2 eraser, you'll need to move one loop along the loop so that you do not break the pattern.

After the elastic reaches the required height (if desired), proceed to the fact that we knit the hat with knitting needles according to the selected pattern. Beginners can perform it simply by facial smoothness or garter stitch . How many rows should be executed in height, we determine by means of the examples. As soon as it became clear that it's time to start rounding off, we make uniform reductions: first we sew each 11th and 12th loops together; Through a series of knitting 10th and 11th together, and so continue until until 10-8 loops are left loose, which must be pulled together, passing a thread through them. For rounding, apply only on the front of the product. Well, that's all, the base of the cap is ready.

And finally I would like to talk about the options for decorating children's products. So, notice that when we knit children, we have a wonderful opportunity to transform our creation, using:

• Relief pattern (braids, bindings, bumps);
• Overlays adorned from a string of contrasting colors and sewn on the thong hats (cars, boats, flowers, bows);
• Pompoms, the number and size of which is not limited;

• Embroidery;
• And, of course, the ornaments etched and the openwork drawings.

But if you suddenly try to make one of the wonderful caps presented in the photos, you will understand that knitting on spokes is not your "hobby" at all, you can always find a skilled master ready to perform this work. Or even easier - to order a hat of any cut, type and size in the TV and Internet store. So dare, try to knit and do not worry, if suddenly nothing happened!
