A knitting cap for a boy: knitting for beginners

Knitted baby things are the best way to learn knitting with knitting needles in no time. Small sizes of things are well suited for studying basic techniques and techniques in knitting. And first of all I would like to tell you how the cap is knitted with knitting needles for a boy.

The model of the cap is not at all complicated, but it looks very original due to the decorative elements. Choosing more gentle colors of the yarn, you can make a hat for the girl on the basis of this description. In fact, knitting hats for a boy with knitting needles does not have cardinal features. Everything will depend only on your imagination or your child's wishes.

So, today we try to tie a hat like this:

In my opinion, if you use yarn with a different composition of threads, you will get a hat for the autumn( acrylic + wool composition) or for winter( 100% wool).Also for her, you can make a fleece lining for warmth.

Before you answer the question "how to tie a hat for a boy with knitting needles?", We will define the following materials:

Tools:

• Spokes 3 mm( circular or straight);
• Yarn of two colors;
• Buttons for decor;
• Needle;
• Scissors.

I remind you how to take measurements for the cap.

We need the head circumference to calculate the number of loops that we will type on the spokes, and the depth of the head - to determine the number of rows. Although in the second case, you can try on an unfinished hat right on the child, so as not to be mistaken.

Calculate the number of loops for a set as follows:

• Measure the head circumference. Below I give a table of standard sizes for children of different ages.
• Tie a pattern pattern of 10 loops x 20 rows.
• Measure 10 loops in centimeters. And to form a proportion of the form:

10p. - N( sample length)

X( the required number of set loops) - O( baby's head circumference)

• After all the figures are obtained, go to the knitting cap.

And here is the table of sizes:

Progress:

We dial 80-100 loops on the spokes, depending on the size of the child. If you know how to knit in circular rows, then close the first row in the ring. If not, then knit the following rows with a straight cloth on the stocking knitting needles.

We will use hosiery as a pattern for the main part of the hood: on the front side - persons.p., on the back side - hp.p. Continue knitting about 15 cm from the typing edge.

Begin to do the reductions, so that the cap is snug against the head. For this, we divide our knitting mentally into 8 equal parts( wedges).At the beginning of each wedge, we sew 2 loops together. Those. Decrements are made through an equal number of loops. Decreases are made in each row.

When we get 8 loops on the knitting needles, we cut the tail of the thread with a small margin. Using a needle, pull these 8 loops into a ring, sew the edges and hide the thread on the wrong side.

If you were knitting with a straight sheet, then you need to sew details together. The stapling scheme is attached:

The main part of the cap is ready. Now we need to loosen the ears and visor. To form the ears on the set edge of the product, mark the location of the future ears and use the hook to raise the loops on the spoke. The ears will be made of stocking knit, that is, all the hinges are facial.

Having knitted 10 cm from the edge, begin the weakening of the loops to round the edges. To do this, around the edges of the ears, we sew 2 loops of faces. We repeat the reduction of the series 3 times. The remaining loops are closed. The second eye is similar.

For the visor we also raise the hinges between the ears. We will knit a visor with a different color of yarn. We garnish with garter stitch about 10-12 rows and close all the loops.

We decorate the visor with two buttons. This is done so that it does not fall on the eyes during active games of the baby on the street.

Get creative and add decor to this hat. For example, to the ears, you can sew a string to protect your ears from the wind.

Our cap helmet for the boy with knitting needles is ready! It is not difficult at all. Using this scheme, you can also tie a cap for yourself and for the whole family. Good luck in your work!
