Hand-knitted products not only indicate that mommy has great taste and knows how to needlework, but is also much better and prettier than purchased ones. The most beautiful bonnets for newborns are obtained by crocheting.

How to choose threads and tools for knitting

For summer openwork patterns, the threads should be selected quite thin. The composition of the thread should be natural (cotton) or with a slight addition of synthetics. For models that will be used in cold weather, you need to buy a good thick yarn with a high content of natural wool.

Table of approximate sizes for knitting and sewing hats

The quality of the yarn is very important, it should be tender and soft to the touch. If the knitting threads are brightly colored, then you need to make sure that the dyes are of high quality, do not shed and do not cause allergies.

For newborn babies, it is better to buy yarn in light or white colors. You can ask the store for special yarn for knitting children's things. Many manufacturers produce a separate line of quality products for children.

When the product is crocheted, the selection of the tool is also important. The density of knitting and how good the selected pattern will look depends on this.

For thicker yarn, the hook number is selected more, for thin yarn, less.

The choice of pattern is also important. The more openwork the canvas, the more it lets air through. So, for the cold season, you should knit things with a tight knit and a minimum of openwork elements. Beautiful lace models are suitable for summer.

How to determine the size

It is very difficult to knit a product for a baby who has not yet been born, because it is impossible to take measurements and be sure that the finished cap will fit. However, you can use the plates of standard sizes for children's hats. Even if at first the product is a little big, then it's not scary, the kids grow up quickly and very soon a knitted cap or hat will fit.

In principle, you can please not only children, but also all household members with exclusive related things. Knit with pleasure!

Despite the fact that knitting is considered one of the most common activities in the world, it is impossible to call it an easy task. For people learning the basics of knitting, a crochet hat for a newborn can be not only an additional experience, but also a pleasant gift for a baby.

For example, on an extract for infants. Babies from 0 to 3 months sometimes need hats even in summer, and winter ones will definitely be needed for walking. Models of hats for children are often decorated with ears, or pompoms, a funny striped cap like a gnome or elf is very fashionable now.

The presented schemes and descriptions of the simplest hats and with complex techniques will allow everyone to learn how to create this item of clothing for newborns.

Using detailed descriptions of each process, knitting a hat will not be as difficult as it seemed at first. The only thing you need to know before starting knitting is baby head volume and product circumference. It often happens that it is not possible to obtain accurate measurements. In such cases, the use of common standard sizes is recommended:

• 3-6 months - 35-43 cm;
• 6-12 months - 41-47 cm.

When all the measurements of the newborns are ready, you can start knitting itself.

If the girl’s skills in this skill are quite limited, then first knitting pattern crochet hats. First you need to fasten the thread on the hook, using a knot for this. Do not forget that the so-called tail - the thread that remains when creating a knot, should not be cut off at the beginning. Getting rid of it should occur only with a ready-made knitted cap for a newborn.

After you need to do several air loops. Creating six single crochets form a ring that must be closed by introducing a thread into the first crochet. Thus, the first row should turn out.

Next, you need to connect again two columns in the previous rows- this is how the second row of the cap is created, and then combine the first and last rows. Using such a pattern for subsequent knitting, you can quickly create a crochet cap. The main thing is to remember to add loops in the rows and fix the work with an extended “tail” in the last column.

Baby hat with ears

A beautiful combination of a baby's headdress with other decorative elements allows beginners to develop a certain knitting skill. For example, a knitted children's cap with ears is an excellent solution for boys and girls, not only in terms of aesthetics, but also practical - the cap is warm and can be worn in the cold season.

The main knitting takes place in the same way just like a regular hat. Ears are made separately according to the principle of increasing loops. This process has been described in more detail above. In addition, there is an opportunity to experiment with the design of the bonnet, to make it more suitable for the baby and interesting.

Crochet cap for a newborn

There are a huge number of different patterns that describe in detail how to knit a good children's hat for a baby. It is almost impossible to recognize them all, but you can find the most convenient, practical and aesthetically pleasing options.

It should be remembered that very Much depends on the materials chosen.. The use of light, pinkish thread colors is most often used in creating a look for girls, while deeper and darker colors are recommended for boys.

A crochet hat for a newborn is simple and does not require special skills, but it turns out very beautiful! At the beginning of knitting a small ring is created- in the process it will tighten and there will be no hole. After that, three air loops are tied with 11 columns with one crochet. The first and third loops are combined, in the process forming the first row of the cap.

It is worth remembering that each a new row begins with three air loops and one connecting column in the third loop of the previous row. So, each new row is larger and longer than the previous one, forming the necessary hemisphere shape. To prevent the knitted headgear from squeezing the head, add 12 columns in a row, evenly distributing them around the entire circumference. It happens that the diagram shows the completion of the bonnet before the product for the girl or boy is ready, so you should remember all the technology and navigate in the addition of new rows.

So the schema looks like this:

Crochet cap for a newborn, the scheme of which necessarily includes head circumference measurements baby - as soon as the bottom is ready, it must match these measurements, otherwise the knitted headdress will simply be too small. Once the bottom is ready, it will be possible to work on the depth of the cap. At this stage, there will be no more difficulties with the count, each row should begin with three air loops and one column, which need to connect the new row with the previous one. After the depth is ready, it will be possible to tighten the “tail” into the product itself and carefully hide it.

You can dilute the cap with a simple openwork pattern, which will allow you to wear a cap not only in the cold seasons, but also in spring or summer. Watch the instructional video!
