How to knit a hat with knitting needles for beginners step by step

Beige women's hatIt's easier to master knitting if you have a good reference book on hand. Ideally, of course, practice a little and knit different patterns. This is a stockinette stitch, a purl stitch. Learn how to make elastic with knitting needles. For many products, loops will need to be decreased and added. Here you just need to know the technique.

In most models there is always a hint on how to decrease and how many stitches to remove. But beginners who have already mastered a couple of patterns can happily knit something small.

Why not start your work with a cap? Especially for beginners, three of the simplest models of hats. This is a hat for women, men and children. A good, simple and beginner-friendly description will definitely serve as a good incentive for this and subsequent products.

Yarn

You should not buy expensive, prickly yarn. It's better to choose something with acrylic. For the first projects, children's yarns are well suited; they are very soft and pleasant to the body. And they won’t creak, which so often scares off a beginner.

YarnIt is better to take the fiber itself not too thin, so that you can see which loops are obtained from the front and back loops.

Sample

Or even better, a small tutorial. The very first thing is a set of loops, for a beginner, only one traditional method is required.

Simple set of loopsBefore any product you always need to knit a small piece. Then apply a ruler and calculate how many loops are needed for 10 cm, and how many rows will be in 10 cm. This indicator is usually called knitting density. This makes it easy to calculate the length of any product and other dimensions. Let's look at knitted hats step by step.

Women's hat for a beginner

Blue hat for womenA very fashionable product is a square-shaped hat. It's easy to tie. When unfolded, this product resembles a rectangle.

The most interesting thing is that in this model there are usually no increases or decreases, and therefore it will be very easy for a beginner to knit such a hat. Also, knitting a rectangular fabric is always easier than knitting in the circle. Just two diagrams and the hat is ready.

To work you will need:

  • yarn of medium thickness children's pekhorka 200 g;
  • knitting needles number 3.

Sizing

To knit this hat you need to determine the circumference of your head. Measure with a tape (add 2 cm) and use the sample to determine the number of stitches. Make the first set of 1/2 of the resulting circle. The second size is the height of the cap. Measure the length from earlobe to earlobe. In this case, there is no need to divide by two, but you need to add another 4 cm. So that the ears are well covered. Convert the indicator into series.

Rubber

Cast on the number of loops for 1/2 of the circle and knit 12 cm with a tangle pattern according to the diagram.

Base and crown

Change the pattern to stockinette stitch and knit the remaining rows with this pattern. Then the same number of rows for the back side of the cap.

Assembly

The rectangle is knitted and now all that remains is to sew the side seams after the product has been folded. It is better to do it on the wrong side. If desired, you can decorate with a small brooch or bow.

Next, switch to a garter stitch pattern and do not add or subtract stitches in the first 8 rows. Then knit 8 rows, decreasing by one stitch in each row. This is how the warp is considered knitted.

Purl stitch

crown

To make the crown very flat, you need to make decreases in each row, but decrease several loops at once. In this model, decrease three stitches on each crown row. There will be 6 loops left and close them (pull all the loops into one and tie more firmly). This way the hat will be finished and you can spend a little effort on the most enjoyable part - decorating the product and trying it on.

Baby hat

Gray hatBeautiful gray hat made from simple patterns. With comfortable drawstrings and an adorable fur pompom. This product can be made by a beginner.

To work you will need:

  • children's yarn pekhorka;
  • knitting needles number 3 (circular).

Three patterns and all quite simple for a beginner. There will be time to practice on each one.

Rubber

For hat size 50 you will need the following set of stitches - 80 stitches (the yarn is slightly thinner than in the men's model). Knit an elastic band 1*1 6 rows.

Elastic pattern 1x1The basis

The base of the hat is knitted in garter stitch. The only difficulty will be that you need to alternate circles of knit stitches and purl stitches according to the pattern of the fabric. The fact is that when knitting in circles, the fabric does not turn over and that’s why it has such a feature. Knit only 30 rows.

Garter stitch

crown

For a soft and smooth rounding along the crown You will need to make small decreases first, just two stitches in each row, maintaining the garter stitch pattern. Do this for 16 rows. Next, change the pattern to a regular stockinette stitch, and make significant decreases. Approximately five stitches per row (distribute them evenly throughout the row). When there are about 10 loops left, close them off (by pulling them into one loop). Make a very strong mount.

Decoration

The hat looks very beautiful with a fur pompom. Additionally, you can sew an emblem on the side of the cap.

PomponWhere to sew ties?

Sew the ties for the hat not in the middle. You need to measure the middle parts and step back two cm. The side at the back of the head will be shorter than the front. You can sew laces as ties or make your own laces with crochet; you can use knitting needles to make very elegant ties.
