The whole world now enjoys wearing funny and even unusual takori hats. But few people know that Svetlana Takkori created these hats. An ordinary girl - even in her school years she showed great promise regarding modeling things. There was a very interesting incident and her friends literally prophesied to her that she would soon become a very famous designer. And it is no coincidence, since a talented person is talented in everything. A full 25 years passed before Svetlana was able to reveal her talent and truly become a famous designer. And the hats from Svetlana Takkori are just a miracle. But she made models using knitting needles. And in this article there is a secret about how you can make a takori hat using a crochet hook.
What is a takori hat?
The Takori hat looks like a regular hat with a lapel. But a very voluminous pattern is always used for it. The most important difference of such a hat will be not one, but two lapels. The cap itself at the top will not be strictly on the top of the head, but 3–4 cm longer. This product can be compared to a beanie.Only the beanie does not have cuffs.
Pattern patterns for crochet takori hats
Crocheting a takori hat is not that difficult. For it, a pattern of simple columns is often used or an elastic band is made using embossed columns. The second pattern will be difficult to figure out, since it is very similar to the original pattern for the Takori hat - this is an English elastic band. Moreover, the main advantage of an elastic band using a hook is that it is much denser. Therefore, winter takori patterns can be made even with a single thread, when knitting needles would require two or more threads.
How to crochet a takori hat
Let's take a closer look at the instructions for crocheting a takori hat and for this we will use an elastic band from the crochet tables.
To work you will need:
- yarn with a thick thread (you can use medium thickness);
- Select the hook according to the thickness of the thread.
Elastic band pattern. Cast on air loops and perform the first row with simple single crochets.
Knit the next row behind the back jumper from the post. As a result, you will immediately see a structure that is very similar to a front loop across the canvas.
When knitting in columns and stretching rows from the elastic to the crown, it seems that this hat is made in circular rows using an English elastic from the bottom up.
Stage: sample. Initially, you will need to make a small sample for the cap. This is a small square that is made according to the pattern of the canvas. In this case, according to the elastic pattern, crochet using single crochets. You will need to calculate by square how many columns and how many rows there are in 10 cm. This is the knitting density of the elastic pattern.
Stage: measurements. For takori you will need to take two measurements. The first is a circle. The second is depth. It will be necessary to add two lapels and 5 cm to the depth.
Stage: description. For a head circumference of 50 cm and a depth of 42 (plus 5 cm for the model and 16 for two lapels), according to the density of the pattern 20*20, you will need to cast on a chain of 80 loops and knit the first row with simple stitches. Next, knit according to the pattern of the fabric. For the crown, make incomplete rows.
Incomplete rows:
1st row: knit not 80 stitches, but 64.
2nd row: 62 and so on until you get 80 again.
As a result, make several short rows evenly.
For a head circumference of 50 cm, it turned out with a density of 20*20 for a model of 96 rows.
The last row is to connect the two edges of the cap.
The lapel turned out to be 8 cm. If desired, you can make a little more cm for the lapel. But no more than 10 cm, otherwise the crown will simply merge with the main product and the model will no longer be takori.
All that remains is to make the cuffs and the product can be tried on.
