Even at school, the girls prophesied to the girl that she would become a famous clothing designer. They did not yet know that 25 years would pass and their prediction would come true.
Very the talented Svetlana Takkori and her hat impressed the whole world. Let’s take a closer look at this product and try to make it ourselves.
A great brand can and should be made; diagrams and good instructions will help with this. The recipe for the Tacori hat is later in the article.
Yarn and knitting needles
The hat model, as usual, should be created with fluffy threads. Mohair Alize yarn will handle this issue. You can take the classic and Alize Moher the new classic. The only difference is that in the first type there will be a little more mohair, in the new models there is only 25 of it. Therefore, we choose according to our taste. You can use other fluffy yarns to create these interesting hats.
Knitting needles for such yarn are selected similarly to other types of yarn. The fundamental thing remains the thickness of the thread and then double it and here it is the ideal size of the knitting needles.But if you knit in two or three threads, then this is an order of magnitude larger needle size.
It is best to get advice at a yarn store; sellers have already encountered such questions not just once, but every day. There are also fluffy yarns with some inclusions and they are also suitable for this hat. Various decorating elements, since the model has practically no pattern. The base is usually an English elastic band or a 2*2 elastic band.
What sizes are needed for a hat?
The model has a good margin in terms of length. Here's how to correctly calculate how much length you need to knit. So, the model consists of two lapels. Therefore, we multiply the desired lapel in cm by 2. To this indicator we add the depth of the product and the increase per model (approximately 3-4 cm).
Around the circumference everything is simple. It is necessary to determine the head circumference using a measuring tape. For example, the result was 58.
Next, since the product is knitted from a well-stretching pattern, it is better to subtract 2 cm from the resulting number. This way the hat will hold on better and will not pull.
Different models of takori hats
Delicate takori hat with English elastic band
Cute model in pink. English elastic and fluffy yarn look good. Let's look at it in detail with a description.
To work you will need:
- fluffy yarn (you can use Alize Mohair classic or new classic);
- knitting needles number 3 (a different size is possible depending on the thickness of the yarn).
Lapel
Usually the lapel takes from 10 cm. Therefore, we calculate how many cm and further rows it will take. It will be easier to count the rows if you knit a sample first. This will not only determine the knitting density, but will also help calculate each row and determine what the set of loops should be. 20 cm per lapel (double).
The basis
The base is usually equal to the lapel and is also knitted without additions. That is, you need to knit 10 cm. As a result, the product is already 30 cm long.
crown
A very quick bevel of the crown will help you make decreases in each row.. You need to make decreases that are very similar to raglan. That is, at 4 points and in one place there are two decreases. Knit two loops together twice. Continue this way in each row. When there are few loops left, close the knitting and pull off the thread. Tie tightly and the product is ready.
The simplest takori rubber band 2*2
Surprisingly, such a trend can be knitted without the slightest decrease, which is always difficult for beginning craftsmen. And this model is a clear confirmation of this.
To work you will need:
- yarn with 50% wool content;
- knitting needles number 3.
Lapel
The model has two lapels and it completely copies the lapels of the first model. This is a length of 10 cm. Multiply by 2 and you get about 20 cm to spend on the lapel for this hat. All this is knitted with a 2*2 elastic pattern.
Before knitting, you need to knit a sample and calculate how many rows it will require, how many loops you need to initially cast on the knitting needles. Knitting takes place in the round.
The basis
The base is equal in length to the lapel and this can be seen in the photo. But there are no decreases for the crown of this hat. Therefore, knit the base and crown in one solid piece without restrictions. Depending on the depth of the product. It will be approximately 20 cm. 10 is the base and 10 cm is the top. You can add and subtract at your discretion.
Assembly
This Takori requires assembly.. It consists in the fact that the crown must be pulled together correctly. Pulling it unevenly will simply ruin the hat. Carefully and slowly tighten the loops. It is necessary to bend the side surfaces of the cap inward.But the front and back sides should be located on top. You will get several beautiful and even folds. It looks like a gift bag with these accordions.
This is such an interesting model. Thanks to the Italian designer Svetlana Takkori, because it is thanks to her efforts that one can now see takori at every step. This magnificent creation is popular all over the world. It is worn equally by both men and women. Teenage children.
Some manage to knit for very tiny children. And how happy the knitting masters were with him. This hat not only knits nicely, but can also be decorated with whatever your heart desires.
Therefore, we carry out the takori according to the instructions and prepare our creations. Maybe while someone is making another takori, a new designer will create something equally amazing.
