Knitted baby clothes are always in fashion. If the birth of a baby is expected in the cold season, then why not knit a wonderful warm cap? Of course, today there is a large selection of warm clothes for newborns in stores, but do-it-yourself knitted baby items are much more interesting. In the article you will find detailed master class how to knit a cap for a newborn with knitting needles

How to choose the right yarn and hat pattern?

For kids, the best model of a headdress is a bonnet. Such a cap allows you to close the ears and the back of the head well, and the ties do not allow it to stray and slide when the child lies in the stroller and turns his head.

The choice of knitting pattern is also important. An openwork bonnet will be good for spring and not a cold autumn, and a tight-knit woolen model is perfect for winter walks. To make the hat really warm, you can add a knitted or fleece lining to it.

Yarn for knitting is selected very carefully. Today in stores you can find a lot of options for special children's yarn, which is of excellent quality, softness and a variety of bright beautiful colors. If the composition contains synthetic fiber, then this should not be scary, the main thing is that the skein of thread is pleasant to the touch and does not prick. But for knitting for very young children, it is better to select the most natural threads (cotton, wool).

How to crochet a reversible baby hat

Depending on the choice of threads, you can make the cap thinner or, on the contrary, warmer. Since the pattern consists of ordinary stripes, the circuit is not needed.

The double-sided model is good in that it can be worn both on the front and on the wrong side.

For needlework you need:

• Yarn for children (pink color) - 100 g.
• Yarn for children (white color) - 50 g.
• Knitting needles No. 3-3.5.
• Hook knitting No. 2.

In the course of work, the following knitting methods are used:

• The front surface (the front rows are knitted with the front knit, and the purl rows are purl).
• Purl stitch (front rows are knitted with purl, and purl front rows).
• Pattern "elastic band" - alternating front and back loops (1x1).

Description:
1. Bonnet elastic
Loops are cast on (70 pcs) and two rows are knitted pink. Then the thread starts white color, and also knit two rows with an elastic band. Next, the thread starts again Pink colour, and the next 4 rows of elastic are performed.

2. The main part of the cap
The main part is knitted as follows: wrong side with a white thread (2 rows), a row of wrong loops in pink, front surface in pink (2 rows).

Note: The wrong side and the rows of wrong loops must not be confused!

This knitting method is repeated 4 times.

Next, there are 2 rows of white threads knitting "wrong side" and the thread should be cut off.
Then, you need to complete one row of pink color with purl loops. Break the thread.
At this stage, the knitting should be turned and the loops should be divided into two needles (45 left and 25 right). A pink thread is attached.

The workpiece looks like this

Now knitting continues like this: 19 loops in pink knit, 20 and 21 loops are knitted together with the wrong loop. The work is turned over. The described procedure should be repeated.

Only 20 pieces should be knitted. medium loops. The last loop in each row of the back of the head is knitted together with the loop of the side. After each row, knitting is turned over

This technique continues until three loops remain on the sides.

Now the loops of the middle part must be knitted two together, and the principle of knitting the side loops remains the same.

The last three rows of the back of the head are knitted in 2 loops

The loops should be closed, the thread cut off. The cap is almost ready.

Ties can be made from ribbons, laces or crocheted from pink yarn. If the crochet option is chosen, then you need to tie a cord of 70 air loops, tie it to the edge of the product using a single crochet. After that, the entire lower edge of the cap is crocheted with single crochets and, when we reach the opposite edge, the second tie is knitted from air loops. The thread breaks.

This is what a crochet tie looks like

Double-sided cap is ready!

Openwork warm cap for a newborn with knitting needles

For work you will need:

• High-quality soft yarn - 50 g. It is better to choose 100% wool.
• Knitting needles No. 2.5 - 4 pcs. The main part of knitting goes on two knitting needles, the work is completed with the distribution on four knitting needles.
• Hook knitting No. 2.5. This tool will be needed for knitting ties, but if you use ribbons or a ready-made cord, then it is not needed.

This model will be indispensable for a newborn baby for spring-autumn.

Knitting pattern:

1. Elastic band
The elastic is knitted from 86 loops to a height of 6-7 cm.

2. Main body
The main part is knitted according to the pattern. For a hat, you need 21 rapport. In this way, knitting should be continued 7-8 cm from the gum.

Elastic band and main part of knitting

The loops are divided into four knitting needles, and knitting goes with the front surface of the circular rows. In this case, you need to make several decreases - in the first circular row, two loops are reduced and in the second - every 6 and 7 loops are knitted together.

After, decreases are made according to the following scheme: in the third row - each 5 and 6 loops are knitted together, in the fourth row - 4 and 5 loops, etc. Continue until 12 stitches remain on the needles. They are pulled together into a ring with a working thread.

The back of the head of the bonnet

Crochet should tie the cord ( air loops 150 pcs.). The lower edge of the cap is crocheted in two rows: the first row is single crochet, the second row is openwork. Then the cord is pulled through the openwork row and ties are obtained.

Openwork cap is ready!

An easy idea for a baby hat

Such a hat model is suitable not only for a newborn child, but also for older children. Knitting it is not difficult even for beginner craftswomen. The size of the hat can be changed by picking up a different number of loops. You can navigate in the choice of size on the head girth table:

You will need:

• Natural wool or cashmere yarn - 100 g (it is better to take 50 g of yarn in two colors).
• Needles number 3. It is better to take long ones or fastened with fishing line.
• Beads for decor.

By changing the color of the yarn and decor, the model can be adapted for a girl or a boy

Knitting methods used in this model:

• Facial surface.
• Elastic band (2x2).
• Pattern - stripes alternate after 4 rows.

Note: The work should be done in two threads. So, knitting will turn out to be more dense, and the product will be warm.

Description:
1. Elastic band
You need to dial 92 loops on the knitting needles (the cap will turn out for 9-12 months, for a newborn, the number of loops should be reduced). The elastic is knitted to a height of 14 rows.

2. Main body
The main part is knitted with a pattern of stripes with front stitch to a height of 13 cm. The loops are closed.

3. Assembly
The cap is sewn with two seams - first the back, then the top.

Hat is almost ready

4. Decor
Now you can crochet two laces (air loops) and decorate them with beads or just knots. You can use ready-made laces or ribbons. Then, the upper edges of the cap in the form of ears are tied with laces. You can use pom-poms instead of laces, it will also be very beautiful.

Hat for a newborn boy according to this master class, decorated with pom-poms

Knitting is painstaking and difficult work, but the children's things that are the result really deserve attention and admiration. You can also crochet bonnets, master classes in the article How to crochet bonnets for newborns.

Materials: yarn 50% wool, 50% acrylic, 392 m / 100 g blue. Yarn consumption: 25 g. Tools: knitting needles No. 2 and No. 2.5. Knitting density of the main knitting: Pg = 2.18 loops in 1 cm. Size: head circumference 38 cm.

We bring to your attention a master class on knitting a cap for a baby. A bonnet is considered a mandatory piece of clothing for a newborn. The baby still has poor thermoregulation. The cap warms the head and protects the tender spring. Choose a thin soft yarn for knitting. Cotton, viscose, acrylic yarn is well suited for knitting children's things. If you decide to use wool, make sure that it is soft and not prickly. In order to avoid irritation of the baby's skin, it is recommended to wear a cap made of thin cotton under a wool cap.

Model Description

The cap for the baby is knitted. The main part is connected with a simple openwork pattern: . You can use and or front surface. On the edges of the bonnet there is a finishing strap connected. Used as ties.

Loop calculation

Note: we give a method for calculating loops using the example of a cap for a head circumference of 38 cm. This is approximately at the age of 1 month. However, head circumference in children varies widely. If you are knitting a cap for discharge, knit a smaller cap. The average head circumference in children at birth is 34.1 cm. But according to medical tables, it can range from 31.7 to 36.3 cm, and this is considered the norm.

To make the bonnet fit your baby in size, be sure to knit the sample with the main knit (in our case it is) and. In our case, the horizontal knitting density (Pg) is 2.18 loops in the 1st cm. We will knit a bonnet for a head circumference of 38 cm. In the calculations we will use a measure in half size, half head circumference: Head = 19 cm.

Let's see what the cap pattern looks like.

Let's start knitting from the face (line AB). Segment AB is calculated by the formula:

AB \u003d 1.5 x Sgol + Pr \u003d 1.5 x 19 + 6 \u003d 34.5 cm,

where Pr \u003d 6 cm is an increase, the same for all sizes.

Now let's count number of stitches to be cast on. It is equal to: AB x Pg + 2 edge loops = 34.5 x 2.18 + 2 = 78 loops (round up to even). Pg - knitting density horizontally.

Part width(segment AA 1 = BB 1):

AA1 \u003d 0.5 x Sgol + Pr \u003d 0.5 x 19 +2 \u003d 11.5 cm.

Pr - increase, equal to 2 cm for all sizes.

Neck Width(DS)

DS \u003d 0.5 x Sgol \u003d 0.5 x 19 \u003d 9.5 cm. Determine the number of loops: 9.5 x Pg \u003d 9.5 x 2.18 \u003d 20 loops (round up to even).

Progress

We collect on the needles (No. 2) 78 loops and knit a bar 2 cm wide (10 rows) in garter stitch. Next, we switch to knitting needles No. 2.5 and knit 9.5 cm with the main viscous (33 rows).

We distribute 78 loops into three parts so that in the middle we get 20 loops (occiput). The side parts are obtained in 29 loops. The occipital (central) part will be knitted with front stitch. In the 34th row (wrong side) we begin to knit the back of the head of the cap as well, . We continue to knit the loops of the central part further, and gradually reduce the loops of the side parts, attaching them to the loops of the central part. So, we knit the loops of the first and central parts. We knit the last loop of the central part of the classic wrong side together with the first loop of the third part and turn the work over front side. When turning, we remove the first loop as a hem loop for the front wall, the thread at work, the movement of the knitting needle from ourselves (from front to back). On the front side, we knit the last loop of the central part together with the first loop of the side part of the front. An important nuance: we knit these loops behind the back wall (). We turn the work inside out and remove the hem for the front wall, the thread before work, the movement of the knitting needle from ourselves (front to back). Thus, we knit the loops only of the central part and reduce the loops from the side parts.

At the bottom, the occipital part narrows by 1 - 1.5 cm on both sides. In our case, this is 3 loops on both sides. Having connected half of the back of the head, we will make uniform decreases in the front rows. We decrease the loops by knitting two loops together with a slope to the right at the beginning (after the first loop) and at the end of the row (before the last loop). The photo shows the rows in which we make decreases.

The birth of a child is always a joyful event. Which one then best gift can be done to the baby in his first days? Of course, knitting a cute cap! Undoubtedly, bonnets are sold in stores different colors and sizes, but it is much more pleasant to do it yourself and admire your work every time. In addition, you yourself can choose the material from which you will knit this little thing, and you definitely will not doubt its quality. Even if you have never knitted or are just trying yourself in this business, then knitting a cap will not be a difficult process for you. Let's find out how a cap is knitted, especially knitted for a newborn baby.

First you need to decide on the size, as well as the style of the future cap. If everything is more or less clear with the first one and for convenience the size table is located below, then with the choice of style everything is much more complicated.

There are many ways to knit and what your product will be depends only on the degree of your skill. It can be a “Riga elastic band”, and a “spider” pattern, and even a bonnet with double-sided knitting.

A variety of patterns for bonnets with knitting needles for a newborn

Consider how to make basic bonnets knitted with comfortable knitting needles, and diagrams and descriptions will help you in your work.

Knitting pattern "Spider"

Usually the "spider" is used to decorate the edge of the product or to give the front surface a little variety.

To obtain such a pattern, you need to remember the rule 8; 1; edge. That is, odd rows are knitted according to the scheme: purl loops, facial, purl. And the even rows are as in the picture. At the same time, you need to start with seven loops and decrease them with each odd row, but add the front loops, on the contrary, add one purl loop at the end of each row. After the eighth row, the 9th knits as the 5th, the 11th - 5 purl, 2 facial, 1 purl and at the end of the purl - the edge. 13th - purl 3, front 1, purl 1, front 1, purl 2, repeat until the end of the row and make an edge. The 15th and 17th rows are knitted with decreasing purl and increasing front ones, starting with 2 loops, then purl 4, at the end of the row a purl loop. The 19th row begins with a purl, then three loops cross to the right and 4 more purl loops are knitted. The 21st row repeats the 17th. 23rd - alternate knit and purl 1-2-5, the edge closes with the last purl, and the 25-1 row is knitted with alternating purl and facial according to the scheme 1-1-5-1. The last will be the 26th row. Then repeat the pattern, starting with the third row. Don't forget to purl each row.

The result should be this pattern:

"Riga Gum"

This is a fairly simple pattern, so even beginner knitters will have no questions about its execution.

As you can see in the diagram, the pattern is knitted with knit and purl loops alternately. Let's understand the principle of knitting better.

Cast on 27 stitches. The first row begins with an edge loop, then 2 front and 2 wrong ones go alternately. The row ends with a front loop, and then an edge loop. But in the second row, the purl and facial loops change places. Then everything is unchanged.

The number of loops may be different, the main thing to remember is that it must be divisible by 4. And add 1 more loop so that the pattern does not “leave”.

Bilateral knitting

Knitting of this type is suitable for a cap that will be used in winter time of the year. Such a knit is thicker than usual, since it goes in 2 threads and, therefore, the product itself is warmer.

First, we collect loops of two threads. It is best to take two colors of yarn. Here, edge are not only last loop, but also the first, they are knitted with both threads. At the same time, in odd rows, the edge loop is the front loop, and in odd rows - the wrong side. After the edge, alternate the front loop with the wrong one. The drawing is ready!

Thus, at least one presented scheme of a comfortable cap for a newborn baby with knitting needles may be useful for the implementation of your ideas, especially since it will be with a description of knitting.

And if you have never knitted before and such patterns seem to be something unattainable, then let's take a look at a small master class.

Master class for a beginner in knitting

Any work begins with the preparation of the material. We will need: yarn - 30 g or about 70 m. It is best if it is woolen. And take the needles with which you will knit. The most appropriate would be number 3.

1. Type 60 loops on the knitting needles and start knitting with a regular elastic band. To do this, you need to knit the first row by alternating the front and back loops, and the second - knit one front loop, and stretch the second. That is, do not knit one loop, but immediately remove it from the left knitting needle to the right, as shown in the figure.

We need 6-8 rows of such knitting. The result is this pattern:

1. Next, knit 24-28 rows with front stitch. First a row of facial loops, then a row of purl.

As you can see, we get an elastic band and the beginning of the cap itself.

1. Now we divide the loops into three equal parts and fasten with paper clips or pins so as not to get confused. We knit the left sidewall as usual, and we knit 2 loops to the right and left of the paper clip together.

Now we have 19 loops left. We turn the knitting inside out and knit to the next paper clip, marking the right sidewall. We also knit two loops to the right and left of the paper clip. The staples can be removed.

1. We turn the knitting to the front side again and see that gaps remain at the place of tying the loops. In these places it will be necessary to knit two loops. As a result, the middle of the cap remains unchanged, but the sides are constantly decreasing. Instead of 20, we should have 12 loops on each side. After that, from the middle you need to remove 6 more loops in the same way. Thus, 8 loops remain in the middle, and none on the sides. Knitting should take on this form:

Often beginner knitters want to learn right away complex schemes. Now we will analyze a very beautiful bonnet, knitted by one of the completely simple drawings- . And how beautiful it looks!

Elegant cap for a newborn with knitting needles with an unusual nape

We will knit a pearl pattern for a cap as follows: we change the color of the yarn - three rows of the main tone, one additional.

Size 0 to 3 months.
Yarn with parameters 350m/100gr. For example, Diva from Alize. Consumption of 50 grams of white, 40 grams of pink.
Circular knitting needles No. 3.

Patterns for making a cap:
- l;
- elastic band 1 x 1;
- pearl pattern.

Description of knitting a cap for a newborn

1. Cast on 91 sts on the needles. white yarn.
2. Rib 1 x 1 10 rows.
3. Then go to the pearl pattern and change the shade of the thread: 3p. pink, 1p. white. Because we use circular knitting needles, then when changing colors, we do not break the thread, but move the knitting to the opposite end of the fishing line and start knitting from there. There are 36 such rows in total.
4. We make out the back of the head.
5. To do this, divide the loops with a marker into 3 sectors: 30p. right, 31p. in the center, 30p. left. In the central part, also mark the 16th loop - this will be a vertical central strip.
6. Work in stockinette stitch with white thread as follows: before and after 16p. knit 2p together. Knit the last loop at the end of each row together with the loop from the side sector and immediately unfold the product. So knit "back and forth", grabbing the loops of the side until the side loops run out, and 3p remains in the center.

Shutdown

From the bottom of the cap, dial the loops and tie with an elastic band 1x1 10 rows. For ties, pick up 5 sts in the corners. and knit 20 cm with a 1x1 elastic band.

This is how an elegant cap for a newborn turned out to be with a very simple pattern.

If you are interested in a different cap size, then make your calculation. Approximately between the sizes will be 3-5p.
