It's not easy to please a teenager. Since at this time the child understands that he needs to dress up and begins to choose things for a long time. It is very difficult to buy new things with him. Knitting something is beyond fantasy for him, because teenagers are simply sure that there is nothing better than a factory item.
This article contains all the coolest hats especially for a teenage boy, which he is unlikely to be able to refuse. Therefore, all mothers and grandmothers can safely copy the product pattern for themselves and knit impeccable new clothes for their pet for the winter.
Yarn and knitting needles
A teenager will not appreciate any kind of fluffy yarn, much less be happy with prickly yarn. Therefore, it is worth selecting varieties from the children’s yarn category. It is better to leave all fantasy products for the girl. Here attention is paid to pekhorka and other yarns with soft pile and even thread.
Knitting needles for a teenager’s hat can be very ordinary. More often, circular or stocking ones are used for hats. Master's preference. The size of the knitting needles will depend on the thickness of the thread.Usually there is a small explanation on the yarn package regarding the intended knitting needle size.
Sample
Examine the cap model carefully and highlight the patterns that are necessary to create the product. Tie a small square to each pattern - these are samples.
They will help you make a hat that fits your teenager's head. Calculate the density of each square. Density is the content of loops or rows of 10 cm. To do this, simply apply a ruler and count.
Measurements
You can't knit a hat without measurements. You will have to constantly unravel and re-tie. It will take much longer than if you prepare everything in advance and follow the recipe.
So, There are two main measurements in any hat:
- Head circumference;
- cap depth.
Measure the circumference along the line where the elastic of the hat will go. The depth from the lobe of one ear, along the top of the head and to the lobe of the other (divide the indicator by two and add cm to the corresponding hat model).
Let's look at knitted winter hats with detailed descriptions and diagrams.
Teenager's hat with pompom
This is the most popular hat for teenagers today. There are many brands whose product looks exactly like this.
This is a long elastic band without volume, with small braids all over the hat and a small but neat pom-pom.
To work you will need:
- crumb yarn (20% merino wool and 80% acrylic) approximately 150 g (50 g/135 m);
- knitting needles number 3.
Rubber
This model has measurements of 50 cm head circumference and 22 cm depth (taking into account the 3 cm addition for this model).
Important! The depth of the hat was measured as follows: first we measured the length from the lobe to the lobe and it turned out to be 38 cm, this number was divided by two and we got 19 cm and added cm for the model (3 cm) and the result was 22 cm.
The sample was knitted with an elastic band and the density in the first set for the elastic was 64 loops. Knit in the round according to the 2*2 rib pattern. Knit 16 rows with such an elastic band without additions and without reductions.
The basis
We switched from an elastic band to a pattern from a pattern with pigtails.
We knitted three repeats up and then began to decrease them through three rows along the loop in the purl strip. Decrease until the length of the hat is 22 cm. Next, tighten all the loops and secure the knot.
Pompon
To make a neat pompom, it is better to use small disks. This way they will turn out smooth and dense. Additionally, you can trim the threads after removing the pompom from the disks.
Decorate the hat with an emblem or badge and you can call the owner of the product.
Teenager's hat with stripes
An impressive product and not very complicated. The boy will like it and will be very comfortable.
The effect of such dynamics is obtained due to the change of the front surface and the back (it sticks out so cheerfully and small rolls are obtained).
And, of course, the small pom-pom that the boys liked.
To work you will need:
- children's yarn in 2 colors (you can use pekhorka for children);
- size 3 knitting needles for medium weight yarn.
Rubber
The hat is knitted for a head circumference of 54 cm (a decrease of 2 cm will be required and in the end the size will be 52 cm in circumference) and a depth of 20 cm (with an addition for the model it turns out to be 23).
To cast on, you need to cast on 66 stitches with knitting needles. Knit elastic 1*1, it is very similar to stockinette stitch, but denser. Knit 10 rows.
The basis
For the base, alternate the patterns of the front stitch (of the same thread color) and the purl stitch (of a different thread color). Knit 4 rows of each. Continue this way in stripes until you get 7 stripes.
crown
For the crown, start making decreases in the stripes of the front stitch in the first and fourth rows, decrease 7 loops each (distribute them evenly across the crown). A total of 12 rows of elastic should be knitted. Pull the remaining loops tightly into one and tie. Decorate with a pompom.
Pompon
Make a pompom from one color of yarn. You can use a small disk to create it. This will make it very dense. Trim all unnecessary threads after removal. This way you can get a very even and round pompom.
A hat with an interesting lapel for a baby
Very cute model. The brightest and richest colors will make the product attractive. But how to knit such an interesting lapel? We follow the stages and make the same hat for our child.
To work you will need:
- children's pekhorka yarn 200 g;
- knitting needles number 3.
Rubber
We determined how many loops are needed for casting on, and we begin the product. The secret of such a lapel is now being revealed. Cast on the required number of loops and knit the first row with purl loops. Next, use an elastic band 1*2 for 5 rows.
Getting to the base
We took additional knitting needles and transferred them to them, knitting the next pattern simply in stockinette stitch, one loop at a time from the elastic band (take loops from one purl strip).
As a result, you will see on the canvas how the elastic from 1 * 2 turns into a front fabric, on which where there were 2 loops becomes one without decreasing. She is already hiding on an additional spoke. To ensure that this maneuver does not affect the size of the product in any way, you just need to add a thread and knit the lapel and the second fabric in two threads.
Lapel
Knit the lapel in stockinette stitch in two threads. Knit 10 rows and divide all stitches into 6 equal cloves. Then knit each one separately, but do not close the loops, but transfer them to additional knitting needles.Move every first and last stitch of the clove until the central one remains. Do this with each clove and the last row is to close all the loops.
The basis
Knit the base with red yarn from the hidden threads, but it is also worth adding thread so that the product is sized and dense. Knit to the required length and pull all the loops together without decreasing. Decorate the hat with a large, fluffy and bright pompom.
