We'll tell you how to do this.

How to knit a beanie hat on a single stitch machine

Before starting work, it is worth deciding what color and thickness of yarn we will use. Here's the thing purely personal.

We bring the knitting machine into working position.

• Using the “wrapping” method, it is necessary to fill the first row of yarn, correcting all the unevenness.
• Next, thread the thread into the carriage and set the density. It depends on your desires.

ADVICE. If the work is being done for the first time, set the density from 7 to 9 and look at the result.

• The counter is set to zero, after which you can start moving the carriage. The first row will be quite difficult, you shouldn’t be afraid of this.
• By moving the carriage we fill 10 rows, guided by the counter. Density value - 7.
• After we have filled ten rows, we set the density one higher. At the established density we carry out another 20 rows.
• After the work has been done, the color of the thread changes and we add another 30 rows.
• Now you can start making shaped reductions. To do this, you need to divide the number of loops (initially 144) by 4. You get 36 loops for each wedge. A path of two loops is left between the wedges.
• We continue to work with the carriage, gradually freeing the outer needles. We move everything towards ours loops left in advance between the wedges.
• Having released 4 needles, we knit two more rows and repeat the procedure until the very end of the fabric.
• With each row, indenting will become more and more fun, because you are at the finish line!
• We bring the work to 18 loops on the needle bed.
• Then we pull them together and sew them up with a circular seam. You need to thread the thread through the needle and pull it around the circumference of the crown, carefully pulling it off. After this is done, you need to sew up the remaining hole. This is the last stage, after which you can put the hat on your head and safely go outside.

Important! Unfortunately, in the process of work you may encounter an error that is noticed quite late. It is worth unraveling the fabric up to the point where the mistake was made and redoing it.

Remember, knitting should be soothing, not nerve-wracking!

On average, if you have certain skills, the entire process of knitting a hat will take about two hours.

How to knit a hat with an elastic band

Rib is one of the weaving methods in knitting. There are a great variety of rubber bands. In fact, this is the weave that gives those same longitudinal tubercles on the cap, making it seem corrugated.

So, in order to knit a hat with an elastic band, you must first master the skill of knitting on a single-font machine. The process is described in the previous section. Having gained some experience, you can begin to master the elastic band.

• Before starting work, you need to decide on the dimensions. The simplest option is 1x1, 2x2 is a little more complicated.

ADVICE. Knitting is quite an exciting activity. Therefore, it is worth trying all sizes to determine the knitting technology that suits you.

The size and aspect ratio of the elastic will determine how the hat holds its shape. Yarn consumption also directly depends on this. To change the size and thickness of our elastic band, you need to throw the appropriate number of loops of yarn onto the needles.

Otherwise, knitting follows exactly the same principle as in the previous paragraph.

Tips for knitting hats on a knitting machine

• The thickness and material of the threads will determine the season in which you can wear the hat. A headdress knitted from thin yarn will look great on your head in the summer. But this is rather a youth option.
• Try to use materials of different colors, the monotony looks quite boring.
• Gradually it is worth starting to switch to all kinds of patterns and designs.
• During work, use special knitting decks. Because constantly working and transferring loops with your fingers is a very exhausting and time-consuming process.

Knitting is a very interesting activity that can be made even more interesting and productive with the help of a knitting machine.

Get creative, maybe it will become your hobby!
