Crochet women's hat

A women's crocheted hat is not only a warm accessory. This is a fashionable attribute, without which it is impossible to create a complete image.

The variety of models of modern hats is so wide that everyone will find exactly the one that suits him. A crocheted hat will be the epitome of comfort and will highlight the taste of a fashionista.

What you need for self-knitting

Many girls prefer to knit their own hats. This way you can get an accessory for any outfit. And also get a cute set by knitting a scarf or fashionable gloves.

Before starting work, you need to take care of choosing a tool and yarn.

What yarn to choose for a hat

To make the hat truly comfortable, for an autumn hat you need to choose yarn with a wool content of at least 40%. A for a warm winter hat, the percentage of wool should be higher - 70%.

Important! Artificial additives in yarn, such as acrylic, extend its service life, prevent the formation of pills, and prevent bacteria from multiplying.

Synthetic threads, although they look thicker, do not protect against the cold and electrify the hair.

The color must be selected based on two criteria:

• appearance features;
• outerwear.

There are premium segment threads. This unique merino wool yarn. It costs a little more, but differs in that a thin knitted hat will warm better than a thick one. It is incredibly soft, wears well, and does not lose color or shape. Suitable for knitting children's clothes, as it does not prick and does not cause allergies.

How to choose a hook for work

A correctly chosen hook is the key to successful work. There are hook sizes from 1 to 15, the recommended number is indicated on the skein of yarn. If the pattern requires it, the hook may be a little thicker. A few more recommendations:

• the hook should fit comfortably in your hand;
• the handle should be smooth, without burrs;
• the head should not be too sharp;
• the beard should hold the thread well.

The length of the hook depends on the type of pattern; for a hat it is better to choose a standard one (up to 15 cm).

If the yarn is unpacked, then you can determine the size of the hook as follows: fold the thread in half, stretch it and place it in the groove of the hook. In a correctly selected hook, the thread fits completely, leaving no free space.

Crochet a women's hat

You can crochet almost any women's hats: both summer ones for the beach and warm winter ones.

Beanie hat for beginners

A beanie is a hat that does not have ties or elastic, but it stays well on the head. This type of headdress is knitted with a “stocking” and, due to its elongation, drapes well on the top of the head. Good for winter.

Advice. It is better not to take threads that are too thick; the ideal option is yarn with 50% wool content.

The yarn consumption for the product will be approximately 100 grams.

Symbols on the diagram:

• ü O - air loop.
• ü X - single crochet for the back half loop (RS).
• ü - half single crochet behind the back half loop (PSBN).

In accordance with the description, the hat is knitted RLS in the transverse direction, where the number of stitches cast on is the height of the product (according to this pattern, 28 cm).

Description of work

• Cast on 38 chain stitches + 1 lifting stitch.
• In the second loop, tie 27 sc and 1 hdc.
• Skip the first stitch, knit 28 sc.
• Lifting loop, 29 SBN, 1 PSNB.
• Skip the first loop, knit 30 sc.

Then continue according to the scheme. As a result, the crown of the hat will consist of four wedges.

Knitting in this way is also convenient because during the process you can try on the product and adjust its width. After finishing knitting, it is better not to cut the thread, but use it to sew the edges of the fabric. Then thread the end of the thread into the needle and pull the hole at the top.

If, in addition to the hat, you knit a snood scarf, you will get a fashionable, cozy set.

Hat with lapel

Lapel hats are popular because they suit any face shape. This winter hat can be made double, making it very warm.

For knitting you will need

• 200 grams of yarn;
• hook of the appropriate size;
• needle with a wide eye;
• scissors.

Scheme of work step by step

Knitting starts from the crown.

Knit an air loop into the sliding ring and knit 12 single crochet stitches inside it.
Holding the posts, tighten the ring and knit a connecting loop.
Make a rise of 3 air loops and knit 2 dc in each loop of the 1st row. Tie a connecting loop through the lifting column. There should be 24 columns.

In each even loop of the next row, knit 2 dc, in the odd one - one at a time. You should get 36 loops.

There is one dc in the first two loops, and 2 dc in the third. Another 12 loops should be added. To make 60 loops, 2 DCs need to be knitted in every fourth loop. In the next row, to increase, you need to knit 2 dcs in every fifth loop to make a total of 72.

The next 3 rows are knitted according to the same principle. And two double crochets are knitted into every 6, 7, 8 loops, respectively. The diameter of the circle should reach 16 cm.

In the 10th and each subsequent row, you need to knit one DC into each loop until the length of the entire product from the crown reaches 32 cm.

In the same way, you need to knit another part of the hat, since it must be double. Connect the parts by matching the tops and ends of the knitting. Knit a row of two threads with single crochets.

Warm hat with fluffy columns

This hat can be knitted either in one color or using several colors of thread. It is possible to knit a classic hat with a lapel or a fashionable beanie.

For knitting you will need:

• 100 grams of yarn;
• hook.

Sequence of work

Knit 10 sc into a slip stitch and tighten. Knit a connecting loop. Knit 4 chain stitches into the first loop and yarn over. Return to the previous loop, pull the thread through, repeat 4 times so that there are 8 threads on the hook. Knit them with a common stitch, in accordance with the diagrams.

The pattern diagram is shown below.

Skip one loop, knit a dc and one chain stitch. Yarn over before each stretch. Pull 4 more threads through the previous loop so that there are 8 threads on the hook again. Knit them with a common stitch.

As a result, the first row should consist of 10 lush columns.

In the second row, knit 5 chain stitches at the beginning of the row and make 2 chain stitches before each chain stitch. Due to this, the loops will be higher and the knitting will not be pulled together.

In the third row, after every two chain stitches, you need to add one loop to make a total of 15 stitches.

In the fourth row, the additional air loop will be after every third. In the fifth after every fourth, and in the sixth - after every fifth.

After knitting six rows, you need to measure the diameter, it should correspond to the volume of the head, divided by 3.14 minus 1–2 cm.

Further knitting occurs without increments to the desired depth. The last row is knitted with single crochets. The end of the thread is hidden between the posts.

You can lengthen the fabric and knit a hat with a lapel, and if it is winter, then sew on a pompom made of natural fur.

Hat with patterns

This version of an autumn hat with a beautiful “shell” pattern is not difficult to knit.

Rubber

Knitting begins with an elastic band, for this you need to do the following.

Cast on 12 chain stitches + 1 rise stitch (it must be knitted at the end of each row).

Single crochet for the back half loop.

All subsequent rows are knitted like the second until the length of the ring matches the circumference of the head. After this, the ring must be closed by knitting the first and last rows together.

Pattern

To start knitting a pattern, you need to unfold the ring and perform the following steps.

Work a row of sc.
Knit according to the following pattern.

• Skip 2 stitches and work 5 double crochets into the third stitch. Skip 2 loops, knit 1 single crochet and so on until the end of the row.
• In the second row, knit similarly so that the shells are staggered.

• Follow the pattern until row 17.
• In the 18th row, knit 3 double crochets, skip two loops, knit sc.

• Row 19: 2 dc, skip one loop, knit sc.

• Row 20: Dc in each stitch. Connect each two with a common loop, thus halving the volume of the circle.

To finish knitting, thread the thread into the needle and pull off the top. The hat is ready.

If the hat needs to be insulated, you can sew a lining from thin fleece fabric.

Tips for crocheting women's hats

• When knitting a headdress for a woman it is important to accurately calculate the diameter of the base and the length of the knitted fabric. To do this, you need to take measurements and make a simple calculation. To understand how many loops correspond to the distance in centimeters, you need to knit a small fragment of the pattern from the selected yarn in accordance with the diagrams. And then calculate the number of loops per centimeter.
• During the knitting process, each hat must be measured., since all diagrams are approximate.
• If the knitting goes in waves, it means the fabric is not dense enough. We'll have to disband and start over.
• If half of the product is knitted, and the fitting showed that the size is slightly mismatched, then you can not unravel the knitting, but resort to a little trick. If the hat is too tight, then take the hook half a size larger, and if it’s too big, take half a size smaller.

To complete the work, do not forget about decorative elements. You can use embroidery, beads, and other decorative elements.
