The knitted beanie hat is now popular among young people. Despite the fact that this pattern is very simple to knit, it looks very stylish. You can learn how to do this on knitting needles yourself and without spending a lot of effort by reading this article.
What is the height of a knitted beanie?
The beanie hat model for women is somewhat similar to the bob hat model. It cannot be said that this model is very demanding on the thickness of the threads used, their texture and texture, as well as on the height of the headdress. It all rather depends on individual preferences. The height of the beanie cap is as high as the person who will wear it wants it.
Important! But it is worth considering one subtlety. If a beanie hat is knitted from thick threads, then it is not advisable to make it very high; it will not puff up, but will sag a lot. But if you choose thinner and lighter threads, then such a model can be made even taller.
Features of knitting a hat
The beanie hat is very easy to knit, so it can be recommended to those who do not have much knitting experience.
Typically, this model takes about 100–120 grams. yarn. If you choose a thread, you should give preference to mixed fibers rather than pure wool.. Since many people experience a tingling sensation and even an allergic reaction upon contact with natural sheep or camel wool. The thickness of the yarn may vary, but still, it is better to choose the average thickness.
Once the thread is selected, you need to select knitting needles for it. The skein label always indicates the recommended number of knitting needles and hook. Therefore, this will be quite easy to decide.
Description and pattern of knitting a warm beanie with knitting needles
The peculiarity of knitting this hat is that it is not knitted in the round, but from one side to the other.. Moreover, shortened rows are used so that the upper part is narrower than the part that fits the head.
For a winter beanie hat you should choose a warm, medium-thick thread. The simplest pattern can be garter stitch. In order to complete it, you just need to knit with facial loops in both the front and back rows.
Next, you need to decide on the number of loops to make the beanie hat. To do this, take a centimeter and measure the distance from the middle of the left ear to the middle of the right ear through the top of the head. This is the minimum size of the product if the hat fits your head. But since in the case of the beanie model it should form free space, this distance must be increased by at least 5-6 cm. More is possible. Further:
- You should knit a 10 by 10 cm sample and count how many loops it will have in both rows and columns.
- After this, cast on the appropriate number of loops, for example, 48 (their length should be 2–4 cm longer than half the resulting size) and then knit in shortened rows in accordance with the pattern. In order to create the top empty space in the beanie cap, you need to leave approximately 10 loops for shortening.
- Knit rows according to the pattern. This creates one segment. Next, knit a certain number of segments so that their total width along the bottom corresponds to the circumference of the head.
- When all the elements are knitted, then using a regular thread with a wide eye into which the yarn from which the hat is knitted is inserted, all segments are assembled into one product.
- The edge of the beanie hat can be tied in a crawfish step using a crochet hook.
We knit a youth beanie hat
In order to knit a youth beanie hat, you can use any pattern. One of the funniest and most suitable for young people is the cone pattern. To make such a hat, you should knit in a circle, from the bottom to the bottom of the hat.
This model will also take about 100 grams. yarn. It is necessary to measure the circumference of your head. Knit a sample 10 by 10 cm.
Important! Be sure to wash it in warm water and dry it to prevent the thread from shrinking.
Next, calculate the number of loops that will fit into the measured head circumference. Cast on this number of loops and knit with an elastic band 2 by 2 to a height of 4 cm. The elastic pattern is shown in the photo:
Important! Knit the elastic band more tightly so that it fits your head well. If you cannot adjust the knitting density manually, which experienced knitters can do, then you can do this by taking knitting needles one number thinner.
After the elastic is knitted, take the appropriate number of knitting needles, transfer the knitting to them and continue knitting in stockinette stitch.
Important! Before you start knitting in stockinette stitch, immediately after finishing the elastic, add about 10 stitches evenly over the entire diameter of the product.
Simultaneously with the front stitch, we knit the bumps in a checkerboard pattern in accordance with the diagram.
The fabric with cones is knitted approximately 20-22 cm in height, after which it is necessary to form the crown part. To do this, the product is divided into six equal number of loops and a decrease is made in each part. In every second row, two loops are knitted together in one of the 6 parts.
After about 10 loops remain from knitting, they need to be collected on a thread, pulled together and carefully sew the resulting hole.
