Crochet Kubanka hat

Do you think the hook is ready to show itself only in napkins? It's a delusion. Crocheted Kubanka hats are a clear confirmation of this. In addition to the insulated winter model, you can also make numerous demi-season options using a hook. Detailed description, abundance of diagrams and first-class models. Everything that definitely inspires evening gatherings with a crochet hook at home.

Selection of yarn and hook

The stores offer a huge range of different yarns. Without a clear plan, it is simply impossible to buy your own option. Before you rush to the store for the next portion of balls, you should contact the chosen model.

What thickness of thread is needed for a hat? It is possible that the name of the threads with which the work should be done was also indicated for the model. If you are going to knit a hat for the winter, then it is better to look at yarn with a high wool content.

The thread should be thick, despite the fact that the fabric crocheted will be much thicker than with knitting.But for those who find it difficult to choose suitable colors and make, for example, color transitions in fashion, a small cheat sheet will be useful. A special color combination scheme for any knitted product.

The last thing to choose is the hook - a wonderful tool that once made knitting much faster. Now all that remains is to choose its number for the yarn. As for the handle, color and other subtleties, this is rather a matter of taste, and, perhaps, the whim of the master.

How to find out your hat size?

Measuring your head is easy, but just in which direction should you measure in order to knit the hat. In fact, only two measurements are required - head circumference and depth. We simply measure with a centimeter tape, as babies’ heads are measured in childhood (along the forehead and along the line of the back of the head, but strictly parallel to the floor). The first size is ready.

The second is from the right earlobe to the left earlobe or vice versa. This measurement is needed in order to know what length the hat should be.

The Kubanka model does not require much addition, since it is barrel-shaped and fits snugly to the head. You can check how correctly you measured using the table.

For example, if you have measured the circumference but are unsure about the depth, there is a table to help.

Step-by-step instructions for crocheting a kubanka

Beginners always make their first models according to the instructions. Materials and descriptions are collected very clearly and accurately for each model. The shape of the kubanka is very similar to a barrel.

It has practically two parts:

• The first is an elastic band and a base (equal in diameter).
• The second flat cap is the crown of the cap. This shape is obtained due to the sharp decrease in loops along the top of the head.A flat crown and a very sharp transition from the base make this model stand out from numerous hats.
• The most interesting thing is that you can knit it from the top to the top. You can even knit two elements separately (top crown and base) and simply sew them together.

Important! A sharp transition and border between the crown and the base of the hat makes single crochets knitted behind the back wall or the last row of the bottom can be made into a pattern "crawfish step".

How to make the first loops on a hook? For newbies:

Popcorn pattern

This Kubanka can compete for the title of the best model of this category on the social network. INThe highlight of the lovely raised pattern is the popcorn pattern.

Very common for blankets and scarves with sweaters. Due to the height of each grain of the pattern, knitting is quick.

To work you will need:

• yarn 150 m/100 g thick;
• hook No. 5.

The model consists of a bottom and a crown; work begins from the top of the head. Let's look at the stages of work step by step. A flat bottom is made according to the diagram. Everything is very simple, the rows with additions are visible.

The whole pattern consists of circles of double crochets. Each row is lifted using three air loops. The seam turns out to be invisible. For a size of 58 cm, you need to knit 18 cm in diameter of such a bottom. It turned out to be approximately 6 rows.

After completing the bottom, you need to knit one row with the “crawfish step” pattern. This way the hat will have a nice and noticeable border.

Now move on to the crown. The crown is knitted with a popcorn pattern. The diagram below corresponds to the pattern.

The height of the crown according to the popcorn pattern should be about 12 cm. Then again the border will help to create it "crawfish step" pattern.

The model is ready. You can try it on. If desired, you can decorate the product with a spectacular brooch.

Volumetric pattern

A lovely model with a pattern across the canvas makes the model more feminine, and delicate colors add to its charm. This model is suitable for both girls and fashionistas.

To work you will need:

• pink yarn 200 g;
• hook number 4.

The pattern for knitting the top circle can be taken from the previous model or knitted a little more difficult (pattern below).

The fabric of the cap is made almost entirely with single crochets. Knitting them is simple and you can quickly get a new hat. First you need to knit the bottom of the cap. We knit according to the given pattern from the center.

For a size of 58 cm, you need to knit a diameter of 18 cm according to the pattern. Then switch to rows without additions or decreases - this is the crown of the hat. It accounts for approximately 12 cm, but you can add it at your discretion. In order for the product to be closer to the head, you need to make two rows in the lower third of the crown with decreases of 8 loops.

Designations: sbn (single crochet), 2 ch. (2 air loops).

For the finished product, you need to make three rows with cones on top using the following technology:

• two air loops for lifting;
• half double crochet over the next stitch of the bottom row;
• *two air loops;
• tie a lush column of 7 loops into the gap between the lifting loops and the half double crochet;
• half double crochet through two loops (into the third). Repeat from * (with a slight difference, the lush columns will now not be in the gap, but around the half double crochet).

Star pattern

An elegant hat for more mature women. It looks very neat and it is very difficult to distinguish it from a factory product. Unless there is a label.The combination of dark gray and white yarn emphasizes the important elements of the Kubanka hat - its sides and lovely “stars”.

To work you will need:

• white and gray yarn;
• hook number 6.

The hat is knitted according to the patterns from the top of the head. First you need to knit the beginning of the center of the pattern. Then gradually expand. The entire fabric consists of single crochets. Knit and measure with a ruler. You should get a circle with a diameter of 18 cm.

The bottom is connected and then we move on to the crown or base of the cap. To do this, whatever circle the pattern stops on, knit without decreasing or increasing. You need to knit 14 cm. Finish the fabric. For a tighter fit, you can decrease 6 stitches twice in the last rows.

The base of the hat is ready and then you can move on to the decorations. Everything that is white on top is decoration and the “stars” are knitted separately. Then they are sewn on. The strips of white yarn are simply single crochets that go behind the stitches of the fabric.

“Stars”: knit a strip according to the pattern from the diagram; it contains lush columns, from which such attractive elements are made.

Just like the single crochets used to make the border, you need to create a pattern with lush columns along the top border of the cap. Clinging to the loops of the fabric, you need to make an even row in lush columns. The hat is ready and you can admire the finished product.
