The cold weather is setting in and the wardrobe is gradually starting to be replenished with warm blouses, outerwear and hats; the needlewomen are very interested in them. Many have already knitted a couple of fashionable voluminous new items for themselves and their relatives. There are many techniques to make a knitted hat look voluminous. For example, the most basic one is bulky yarn. In this case, the pattern is not important; the hat will already be noticeably different in volume and originality.

Materials and tools

The choice of yarn is huge, it is important to first choose the quality of the yarn. If this winter model, It is better to give preference to threads with a good wool content (from 60%). For demi-season option You can also consider cooler products.

Knitting needles are already an addition to the yarn. The number must correspond to the thread, unless knitting in two threads. In this case, you need to take the size of the knitting needles twice as large.

The knitting needle model for circular knitting is circular and stockinette. For the fabric, regular straight knitting needles are useful.

We knit a voluminous hat with a lapel using knitting needles

The cap with a small lapel is a voluminous model with an original pattern across the fabric.

Aranas, a wide selection of various braids will effectively decorate a hat, and the shade of the yarn will help you match it with any look: a jacket, a coat or a short coat.

Let's look at several models with detailed descriptions, diagrams and photos.

Oversized hat with a lapel

A very popular hat model with voluminous pattern of English elastic and additionally two lapels. These hats are worn all over the world and are easy to make. Creative model with high and voluminous elastic band. The crown is barely noticeable; teenagers, men and women love this product.

For this model we need:

pink baby pekhorka yarn (medium thickness);
knitting needles No. 3 (circular or stocking).

Set of loops

Before casting on loops a small sample is knitted. We cast on 20-30 loops with knitting needles and knit the sample in the form of a small square.

Using a ruler, we determine how many horizontal and vertical loops there are in these 10 cm. This is called knitting density. But always make the square according to the pattern of the fabric of the selected model.

Using the indicator, you can determine how many loops are required for the initial casting on the hat. Measure the head circumference with a measuring tape and subtract 2-3 cm.

Important! In order for the hat to fit perfectly, you need to subtract a few centimeters from the circumference of your head. This is a condition for any hat. Because all knitted items can stretch.

For this model, the set was 66 loops. Knitting begins immediately with the fabric pattern. The total length of the product should be 47 cm.Of these for the lapel is 20 cm (since the lapel is double 10 cm). Only 2 cm is intended for reduction. Therefore, the fabric in a circle needs to be knitted to a height of 45 cm.

Decreases

Reducing the English elastic is not so difficult. Need to cut three loops at a time in the last two rows. Then cut the thread not too short and pull it through all the loops of the last row. Pull very tightly and tie the thread tightly. Hide the thread using a hook in the loops of the fabric inside the hat.

Important! Take the time to hide the threads. If they are cut very short, the thread can quickly unravel.

How carefully the last row and tightening will be done will depend on the crown of the product.

Just two steps and the fashionable hat is ready.

For variety, you can add a large emblem and a fluffy pompom in the middle of the double elastic band. It will be a completely different model.

Hat with voluminous braids

A charming winter purple hat with braids and a fur pompom. Model boldly will complement a winter down jacket with a fur collar.

This cap will require very warm yarn, You should not pay attention to prickly varieties. It is better to choose fluffy soft angora or wool. It is more convenient to knit this model with circular knitting needles.

To work you will need:

purple wool mixture yarn;
fur pompom;
circular needles No. 3.

Set of loops

We carefully study the pattern diagram and knit a sample with 30 loops.

Important! Yarn consumption will be significantly increased if a cable pattern is used.

They knitted it and calculated the knitting density. Based on the sample, make a calculation for a set of loops for the circumference of the head.

Braid pattern

Braids: remove 5 loops and take them back (preferably on another knitting needle or pin), then knit 5 loops, after that we knit the 5 removed loops.

Rubber

First, you need to knit a 2*2 elastic band in a circle. The height of the elastic band should be 14 cm.

Important! To make the hem neat, you need to knit one row on the front side simply with purl loops. Then continue the elastic band. This row should be strictly in the middle of the elastic band.

The basis

After the elastic band, we move on to the braid pattern, and here may be the first difficulty - the wrong set of loops. After all, no one usually takes into account how many loops a braid pattern will require. It is necessary to compare the rapport and the set of loops. They can be added discreetly after the gum to the required amount.

Important! Many craftsmen make elastic from fewer loops so that the product fits more tightly, and then simply add loops.

Tie the braids pattern up to 5 rapports up. Next, begin imperceptible decreases of 6 loops every three rows. When the hat reaches the desired size, simply pull all the loops into one. Securely fasten and hide the thread in the wrong side of the product.
