Winter in Russia is the time for warm knittingof things. However, knitwear in stores is unreasonably expensive, and colors with drawings are not original, and some people are not satisfied with the quality. Maybe there is a desire to make a stylish and unique gift for a loved one with one's own hands?
Knitting such a part of the wardrobe, like a warm hatcrochet for women, men and children, is available even for beginners, this is a fairly simple piece of clothing, the errors in knitting are not so noticeable. The abundance of different drawings represents wide spaces for creativity and the creation of a truly unique thing. In addition, sites that are not very well turned out, can always be disbanded and bandaged.
Below we will consider how to create simple warmcrocheted crocheted hats, and at the end of the article will be presented a pattern of open-work cap and chic beret. Knitting with knitting needles differs only in that there is a variant with a seam across the entire width. While a knitted cap warm crochet often without seams. A complete solution is also possible, when the front side of the product is made with a crochet with an ornate pattern, and the inner one with knitting needles, for additional warming, and sometimes because of a rubber band, for better attachment of the head cap.
At this point, you must decide on the colorthe future cap, the size, the yarn and the tool, that is, the crochet. To determine the dimensions, you can use the example table below, or measure yourself.
Knitwear has a property significantlystretch, so if you want to make someone a surprise, do the average size by eye. For a child, the size can be taken with a small margin, but not too much, the person's head grows much more slowly than anything else.
Age of the person | Head circumference (cm) | Minimum depth (cm) |
Newborn | 35 - 36 | 11 - 12 |
From 6 months | 40 - 41 | 13 - 14 |
Teens | 50 - 51 | 18 - 20 |
Adults | 56 - 58 | 21 - 23 |
Large adults | 60 - 63 | 24 - 26 |
Yarn does not matter for experienced needlewomen.It all depends on the personal preferences of the master and the one to whom the warm hat is designed, crocheted. However, newcomers should choose a yarn more poetic to fill their hands. Strive for averaged thread parameters, so it's easier for you to get used to any changes later.
A good yarn for a knitted cap is consideredfour-layer of smooth wool or acrylic. The cap is warm, crocheted, does not require a lot of thread, enough 50 g of medium size for one layer. Remember that for a thick yarn, a little more material is needed, and vice versa.
Remember that the natural material has a tendency to sit down slightly after washing, make a mandatory correction in size when using wool or cotton.
Hook is better to choose on the arm.If you are just starting to knit, you need to decide how you will hold the tool in your fingers: like a knife when cutting out eyes in potatoes or like a writing pen. In any case, when buying, turn the tool in your fingers, try to imagine the process of knitting. For such a yarn, as suggested earlier, an aluminum hook of 4.5-5 mm is suitable. For beginners this size will allow you to better control the yarn thread and visually see the intermediate results of the work. For denser knitting, it is better to take a hook 3-4 mm, but it will be difficult for a beginner to keep even rows without jerks (the canvas can "go").
The preparation is over, we know what and how to knit,we have the material and the tool. It's time to get to work. For the stuffing of the hand, the first cap with a warm crochet is made exclusively with a simple bar. A column with 1 cap is simply sewn, in our case 5 initial loops are tied and 3 lifting loops are connected. From the last loop we put on the hook 1 turn of the working thread and through the initial ring we pull out one more loop of the working thread. Then we take the 4th loop of the working thread, we stretch it through 2 in a row and take it out. On the hook there are 2 loops, we get the third from the working thread and stretch through the first 2. Done!
Begin knitting better from the top of the cap, soit will be easier to calculate the rounding and control the size. In addition, you do not have to knit a sample and calculate the number of loops needed for the canvas cloth, and calculate the number of additional knitting for the top. Hinges can be added to the eye, and follow the size, measuring the circumference of each row with a centimeter tape.
How many loops are added in each row?With the initial row of air loops and the first row of simple columns more or less clear, 5 loop loops, 3 loop loops and 10 bars to close the first row. Next, you can apply the usual school geometry to the eye: the diameters of the circles refer to each other in the same way as the circles themselves.
The diameter of the first row can be taken as 2,5(half a barrel on the initial loops), then in each next row the diameter will be 2 more. In each row, you need to add 8 bars (2 * 10 / 2.5), distributing them along the entire circumference so that the cap does not bulge on one side. For example, we got 18 columns in the second row, so we knit 2 bars in each loop of the first row, except for the 3rd and 8th, where there will be 1 post.
Approaching the right size, you can addReduce to 4 or 2 loops to match the circumference of the head, and then knit without adding to the rest of the planned length. The last row is usually performed with a half-loop, this is when a loop, stretched through the bottom row, is immediately passed through the loop on the hook.
You can not always stay in the beginning of the journey, in knittingit is worth experimenting, trying something new. Knitting an openwork female cap for autumn / spring seems much more difficult, but thanks to the scheme you will not get lost in hinges and posts.
Young fashionistas may be interested in winter beret, crocheted. Do not forget to choose the right thickness of yarn and hook.
Turn your free time into beautiful, comfortable, and most importantly, useful things, these skills, obviously, will never become obsolete. Knit different warm crochet caps, schemes drawings for which can be found in special journals, and some of them are presented above.
