Comfortable hats with ears may not be as boring as many parents imagine them to be. These are charming and beautiful products with lush patterns. Many people want knitted items with cat ears or beautiful braids.
These children's hats will save your child from constantly pulling on his hat. Nothing will distract him from the slide and snowball fight. How to make this wonderful model is discussed later in the article. For each hat there is a diagram and description, so that nothing turns women away from the idea of creating a beautiful headdress for a child with knitting needles.
Yarn and knitting needles
For a hat with ears, the yarn will be the same as for a regular children's hat. The fiber must be hypoallergenic. The threads themselves are soft and warm. And the color depends on the model.
Even from boring gray you can make such appetizing and warm models that the whole yard will envy the child.
Be sure to select knitting needles according to the size of the thread itself. It is important to understand that knitting in two threads will require a new knitting needle size. You can make a double cap.It is necessary to approach the model itself very carefully.
Measurements
For this model, you will need to measure the depth and circumference of the head. It's easy to measure the circumference - place the measuring line across the forehead and lead to the occipital protuberances. But you need to subtract a few cm from this indicator so that the product fits as tightly as possible and without gaps. The second size is the depth and measure it from the lobe of the first ear to the second, tape across the top of the head.
Then divide this indicator by 2 and add the corresponding number of loops according to the model. Additions are required so that the ears are tightly hidden under the hat. The measurements are not completed here; you can measure how many cm are needed for the ears, the width of the ear and the possible length of the thread from the eye for tying.
Sample
It is always necessary to knit a special piece for each product. This piece should be slightly larger than 10 cm in width and length. It is very important to knit it in the same pattern as the main product. This will ensure the accuracy of counting loops for work.
Set of first stitches for 2 knitting needles
Density is how many elements (loops and rows) are in 10 cm. Measure horizontally and vertically accordingly.
Hat with pigtail ears and pompom
A beautiful and very warm model with a wide elastic band will definitely please your child. The product is very comfortable and the short ears do not interfere with the game.
To work you will need:
- lilac yarn 200 g;
- stocking needles number 2.
Rubber
Pre-count the number of loops for your size. This product is designed for size 52 cm. Cast on 80 loops and knit 10 cm with an elastic band 1*1.
Ears
From the penultimate row of elastic, pick up 10 loops and tie the eyelet down. Use stockinette stitch. But decrease one stitch in each row.When 2 loops remain, knit them until the required length of lace is knitted. Usually, a loose tail of two loops about 15 cm is enough for tying. Just close the loops and hide the thread. Do the same with the second ear.
Important! The ears are not located strictly on the sides. They fit more towards the back.
Continuation of the gum
The elastic band of the hat is not finished yet, so continue with the same 1*1 pattern for another 8 cm.
The basis
For the base, switch to the suggested pattern with braids. It is better to use garter stitch between the braids; with this pattern the hat will be thicker, since the braids are very dense. Knit 10 cm and start decreasing. Make decreases in garter stitch fabrics. Decrease every 4 rows by one loop in each fabric. Tie to the required depth, in this case until 5 repeats of the braid are obtained. Next, pull all the loops and make a good knot.
Important! If possible, try to ensure that the top of the head has an even outline.
Decorations
These cute braids will be well decorated with a fur pompom. You don't have to look for pink. Black and gray also looks good. It is very good to decorate the elastic band of the cap with a small label.
So the charming product with knitting needles with ears is ready. This model is ready to take first place, even among factory types.
Knitted hat with pigtail ears
A popular model of a hat with pigtail ears. Very fluffy pompoms make the product 100 times cuter. All the luxury is hidden in the simplicity of the pattern and thick thread. The color should not distract attention and therefore a gray-green shade was taken.
To work you will need:
- gray-green yarn 250 g;
- stocking needles number 2.
Measurements
We measured how many loops are needed for the model of our hat. This explanation fits size 50.
Ears
The ears of the braid are made of three strips, which are knitted and then simply braided into a regular braid. The strip consists of 4 loops. Knit 40 cm each strip. Do not bind off the loops, but for now just leave them on the knitting needles or transfer them to a pin. Weave a braid of 3 stripes. Immediately perform a second such braid for the second ear.
Rubber
Cast on 20 stitches for the front, separately cast on 16 stitches for the back. Combine the loops with the eyes and the front and back cast on. Knit everything together in a circle with an elastic band 2*2. Knit 7 rows all together.
The basis
Knit after the elastic according to the pattern of the model. Knit 2 repeats and start decreasing. Decrease in stripes of purl fabric between braids. Decrease one stitch after 4 rows. After knitting the required depth, knit another 2 cm, and tighten all the loops into one good strong knot.
Decoration
You need to decorate the hat with three fluffy pom-poms. Sew two to the pigtails-ears. And attach the largest and fluffiest one to the top of the head.
Everything is ready, a very nice and warm model that will complement a child’s jacket or down jacket well. A true master will not leave this hat alone and will definitely knit a snood using a similar pattern.
These interesting hats can be knitted for a child using knitting needles and great talent.
