At the end of the row we connect.

And so we get V-shaped elements. These elements will make up the braids on the cap. The new row will be a little different. Here we will add regular double crochets.

In the element we knit the same element. That is, two magnificent columns. And in the gap between the first and second such element, we knit one double crochet.

We knit our entire row in this way, alternating V-shaped elements with double crochets.

And then we will make increases in double crochets. We carry out an element in an element from magnificent columns. And for the double crochet we will knit two concave double crochets. That is, we simply insert the hook from behind, bending around the column. And we knit like a simple double crochet.

And so the whole series.

Then in the new row we will also add concave double crochets. We knit the increase for the second column.

In the next row, we will already have three concave double crochets between the elements. And here we knit an increase, that is, two concave columns with a crochet, for the second column.

In the next row we knit already two increases for the second and third loops.

We knit the required depth of the cap. And we tie the bottom with single crochets. We just knit a few rows.

Sew a pompom on top. You can also decorate the hat with rhinestones. The pompom is very important to sew on tightly. You can also do without it.

This is the kind of hat we have!

The crochet patterns in this braided hat mimic knitting. But it is devoid of looseness, due to the fact that the hook fabric is always denser and holds its shape better.

It looks more convex and embossed, more stylish and perky. Very like girls and girls. Romantic and sporty at the same time.

Materials:

• Yarn 400m/100g and 380m/100g in two strands.
• Or yarn 200m/100g in one thread.
• Hook 4 mm.

Two crochet hats with different types of crochet elastic bands

Two types of hats with "braids". The difference in knitting gum.

Elastic band with and without lapel

Both deserve attention and it is worth knitting both of them to decide which one you like more. They look different in the product and have different degrees of elasticity.

It is necessary to carefully study the calculation of the calculation in rows in different elastic bands in relation to the number of columns in the main part of the cap before you start knitting, so that the ratio of volumes “cap elastic band - cap body” turns out to be necessary and beautiful

Elastic band without crochet for the back half-loop

Single crochet rib gives more elasticity and a thicker structure, as the rows stand more "on edge" and are pressed closer to each other.

Such an elastic band will hold a heavy hat on your head well. But in two layers, bending such an elastic band is not worth it because of its volume.

The height of the single crochet corresponds to the thickness of the future column in the main part of the cap.

That is, the number of rows in the elastic band can correspond 1: 1 to the number of columns in the circumference of the main part of the cap.

Looking ahead, I’ll say that the number of columns in one row of the main part of the hat with “braids” should be a multiple of 8, and for me it is 88 columns.

That is, the elastic band in this design can be 88 rows, but for some elasticity, I suggest knitting it a little tighter,

• 84 rows: 1 row - 12 air loops(optional)
• 2 - 84 rows - 12 sc for the back half loop.

Connect 84 and 1 rows by knitting them together with connecting half-columns.

Elastic band with half-columns with a crochet (for the back half-loop). This type of elastic gives a more interesting, detailed pattern, which is mistaken by many for knitting.

Its degree of elasticity is less than that of the previous version, but the knitting itself is more flexible and flat, so it is more convenient to turn it up, making a hat with a lapel.

The height of the half-columns with a crochet is greater than the width of future columns in the main part of the cap. Therefore, for every two rows of elastic, there are three columns in the "body" of the cap. Ratio 1:1.5.

For a future hat in 88 columns in a circle, we knit an elastic band in 58 rows:

• 1 row - 25 air loops (the elastic band will be twice as wide and when the lapel is bent, it will turn out the same width as that of a single crochet elastic band)
• 2-58 rows - 25 half-columns with a crochet for the back half-loop.

Connect 58 and 1 rows, knitting them together with connecting half-columns. The main part of the cap, the technology of the "braid" pattern. The hat is knitted with embossed crochets with braids.

Each row ends with the last column attached to the first of the same row using a connecting column, and the next row begins with a chain of three lifting air loops.

This hat is knitted with strict rows, not in a spiral, so that the level of the braids everywhere coincides in height.

The double crochet is knitted, clinging not to the loop, but to the leg of the column of the previous row. Depending on which side the hook goes around the leg of the column, either a curved (front) column or a concave (wrong) column is obtained.

For those who are not at all familiar with this knitting, it will be easier to watch some video tutorials on this topic. It's simple, but as they say, it's better to see once than hear a hundred times.

For a braided pattern, the number of columns in a row must be a multiple of 8.

Since the repetition of the pattern “braid + recess between the braids” = 8 columns. In my case, the circumference of the cap is 88 columns. The first row of the hat is knitted with simple double crochets (without relief), clinging to the side surface of the elastic band.

As we remember, for elastic with single crochets, the ratio is 1: 1, in the side of each row of elastic we knit 1 double crochet.

If, like me, you knitted 84 rows in elastic instead of 88 for extra elasticity, add 4 columns with a crochet, distributing them discreetly around the perimeter of the cap.

For an elastic band from half-columns with a crochet into the side surface of the elastic band, we knit 3 columns for every 2 rows of elastic bands, getting the output: 58 x 1.5 = 87 columns with a crochet + 1 more column for a multiplicity of 8, we add somewhere.

At the end of the row, we connect the first and last columns with a crochet with a connecting loop and knit 3 air loops lift. Starting from the second row, we knit embossed double crochets.

Drawing step: 2 purl columns - 6 facial - 2 purl - 6 facial - ... and so on.

The lifting chain from the air loops during knitting takes on the form of a “purl column”. Therefore, the beginning of each subsequent row is: Lifting chain + 1 purl column - 6 facial - 2 purl - 6 facial - ... and so on.

In height, the “braid” step is 4 rows:

• 1-3 rows - according to the scheme: 2 purl double crochets - 6 facial double crochets.
• 4 row - according to the scheme: 2 wrong columns with a crochet - 6 front columns with TWO nakida and with a cross.

Of the six front columns with two crochets, the first three (in the direction of the hook) are knitted into the last three front columns bottom row, and the second three of the columns are knitted back into the first three of the bottom row.

That is, we knit: 1st front to the bottom 4th front 2nd to the 5th 3rd to the 6th 4th to the 1st 5th to the 2nd 6th to the 3rd and further purl to the lower purl, in the direction of travel.

Thus, we must knit up 6 steps of “pigtails” in 4 rows (we get 5 crossed braids), of which 4 steps are full-sized, and starting from the 5th step, the columns decrease to reduce the circumference of the cap.

Header scheme

• 1 row - ch 3 lift + 87 double crochets
• 2-3 rows - 3 ch lifts + 87 embossed stobics according to the scheme: 2 out of C1H - 6 persons of C1H.
• 4 row - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 2 out of C1H - 6 persons of C2H crossed.
• 5-7 rows - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 2 out of C1H - 6 persons of C1H.
• 8 row - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 2 out of C1H - 6 persons of C2H crossed.
• 9-11 rows - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 2 out of C1H - 6 persons of C1H.

• 17-19 rows - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 2 out of C1H - 6 persons of C1H.

• 20 row - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 1 out of C1H (double two out of the column) - 6 persons of C2H crossed.
• 21 row - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 1 out of C1H - 4 persons of C1H (double from 6 facial 2 + 3 and 4 + 5)
• 22 row - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 4 persons С1Н (double 1 out + 1 persons)
• 23 row - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 2 persons C1H (double in pairs of facial columns)

Finish knitting, tighten the top of the cap with a thread. Pompom optional. The top of the hat looks quite decent without it!

In total, it turned out 6 steps of “pigtails” in height: 4 full-sized steps, at the 5th step in the upper row of the cross, a decrease begins, the 6th all declines and ends with the crown, without a cross.

The height of the cap can be changed by adding or decreasing the number of vertical steps. There are 11 braids around the circumference of my hats.

Again, by reducing the number of bars in a row or increasing it (depending on the thickness of the yarn), you can get larger braids or many small ones.

I hope the description will help you start crocheting braids and believe that it is beautiful and certainly no less interesting than knitting!

Initial data of my caps:
I knit with yarn 400m/100g and 380m/100g in two strands.
Or you can safely take yarn 200m / 100g in one thread.
Hook 4 mm.
I show two modifications of my hat with "braids" at once.
The difference is in the design of the rubber band. Elastic band with and without lapel are connected by different patterns. I'll explain why. Firstly, I just like both of these matings and I want to alternately repeat one or the other. Secondly, when choosing whether to knit an elastic band with or without a lapel, it must be borne in mind that these two knits fit differently in the product and have different degrees of elasticity.

Please read to the end the calculation of the number of rows in different elastic bands in relation to the number of columns in the main part of the hat before you start knitting, so that the ratio of volumes "cap elastic band - cap body" turns out to be necessary and beautiful!

Elastic band without crochet (for the back half-loop).


Single crochet rib gives more elasticity and a thicker structure, as the rows stand more "on edge" and are pressed closer to each other. Such an elastic band will hold a heavy hat on your head well. But I don’t like to bend such an elastic band in two layers precisely because of its volume.
The height of the single crochet corresponds to the thickness of the future column in the main part of the cap. That is, the number of rows in the elastic band can correspond 1: 1 to the number of columns in the circumference of the main part of the cap. Looking ahead, I will say that the number of columns in one row of the main part of the hat with "braids" should be a multiple of 8, and for me it is 88 columns.
That is, the elastic band in this design can be 88 rows, but for some elasticity, I suggest knitting it a little tighter, 84 rows:

1 row - 12 air loops (optional)
2 - 84 rows - 12 sc for the back half loop.
Connect 84 and 1 rows by knitting them together with connecting half-columns.

This type of elastic gives a more interesting, detailed pattern, which is mistaken by many for knitting. Its degree of elasticity is less than that of the previous version, but the knitting itself is more flexible and flat, so it is more convenient to turn it up, making a hat with a lapel.
The height of the half-columns with a crochet is greater than the width of future columns in the main part of the cap. Therefore, for every two rows of elastic, there are three columns in the "body" of the cap.
Ratio 1:1.5.
For my future hat in 88 columns in a circle, I knitted an elastic band in 58 rows:

1 row - 25 air loops (the elastic band will be twice as wide and when the lapel is bent, it will turn out the same width as that of a single crochet elastic band)
2-58 rows - 25 half-columns with a crochet for the back half-loop.
Connect 58 and 1 rows, knitting them together with connecting half-columns.

The main part of the cap, the technology of the "braid" pattern.

The hat is knitted with embossed crochets with braids.
Each row ends by joining the last column to the first of the same row using a connecting column, and the next row begins with a chain of three lifting air loops. This hat is knitted with strict rows, not in a spiral, so that the level of the braids everywhere coincides in height.

The double crochet is knitted, clinging not to the loop, but to the leg of the column of the previous row. Depending on which side the hook goes around the leg of the column, either a curved (front) column or a concave (wrong) column is obtained. For those who are not at all familiar with this knitting, it will be easier to watch some video tutorials on this topic. It's simple, but as they say, it's better to see once than hear a hundred times.

For my braid pattern, the number of columns in a row should be a multiple of 8. Since the repetition of the pattern "braid + recess between the braids" = 8 columns.
In my case, the circumference of the cap is 88 columns.

The first row of the hat is knitted with simple double crochets (without relief), clinging to the side surface of the elastic band. As we remember, for elastic with single crochets, the ratio is 1: 1, in the side of each row of elastic we knit 1 double crochet.
If, like me, you knitted 84 rows in elastic instead of 88 for extra elasticity, add 4 columns with a crochet, distributing them discreetly around the perimeter of the cap.
For an elastic band from half-columns with a crochet into the side surface of the elastic band, we knit 3 columns for every 2 rows of elastic bands, getting the output: 58 x 1.5 = 87 columns with a crochet + 1 more column for a multiplicity of 8, we add somewhere.
At the end of the row, we connect the first and last double crochets with a connecting loop and knit 3 lifting air loops.

Starting from the second row, we knit embossed double crochets.
Drawing step:
2 purl columns - 6 facial - 2 purl - 6 facial - ... and so on.
The chain of lifting from the air loops during knitting takes the form of a "wrong column". Therefore, the beginning of each subsequent row is:
Lift chain + 1 purl - 6 facial - 2 purl - 6 facial - ... and so on.

In height, the step of the "braid" is 4 rows:
1-3 rows - according to the scheme: 2 purl double crochets - 6 facial double crochets.
4 row - according to the scheme: 2 purl double crochets - 6 front stitches with TWO crochets and with a cross.
Of the six front stitches with two crochets, the first three (in the direction of the hook) are knitted into the last three stitches of the bottom row, and the second three stitches are knitted back into the first three of the bottom row.
That is, we knit:
1st front to bottom 4th front
2nd to 5th
3rd to 6th
4th to 1st
5th to 2nd
6th to 3rd
and then purl to the lower purl, in the direction of travel.

Again, there are probably video tutorials on crocheting braids. Someone will have enough of my verbal description, but someone needs to watch the video to understand.

Thus, we must knit up 6 steps of "pigtails" in 4 rows (we get 5 crosses of braids), of which 4 steps are full-sized, and starting from the 5th step, the columns decrease to reduce the circumference of the cap.

Finish knitting, tighten the top of the cap with a thread.
Pompom optional. The top of the hat looks quite decent without it!


In total, it turned out 6 steps of "pigtails" in height:
4 full-length steps, at the 5th step in the upper row of the cross, a decrease begins, the 6th all decreases and ends with the crown, without the cross.
The height of the cap can be changed by adding or decreasing the number of vertical steps.

There are 11 braids around the circumference of my hats. Again, by reducing the number of bars in a row or increasing it (depending on the thickness of the yarn), you can get larger braids or many small ones.

For knitting we need:

1. Brown and blue yarn;
2. Hook;
3. Scissors.

We collect a chain of VPs, the number of which should be a multiple of 12. We collect 12 VPs each and try on on the head. We connect the ends of the chain. 1 row we knit CCH around the circle.

How to crochet braids

Next, we again have purl columns, but now we will not subtract, but add 2 more IRS. In the first we knit 2 IRS, then 1 IRS and in the 3rd column we knit 2 IRS again. Then again 3 LRS. Now again skip the 1st RRS and knit 1 RRS in the 2nd column. 3rd is also skipped. The next row is knitted in the same way.
That is, 3 LRS, 1 RRS, 3 LRS, 5 RRS.

2 row. 3 PP, 2 LRS. Skip 1 HRS and knit again 3 HRS. Next, we knit 7 IRS, adding to the 1st and 5th columns. Then again 6 LRS in a row.

4 row. 3 PP. We find LRS, which are behind. We knitted them first, but because of the crosshair from the pigtail, they are hidden behind. We pull them out with our fingers and knit 2 IRS in them. 1 column replace 3 PP. And we knit 1 more CC1N immediately after the 2nd IRS between the columns. And we knit 3 HRs, since then we have HRs. Next come the IRS. There are 7 of them, we need to make 5. We skip columns 1 and 7, and in the rest we knit 1 IRS each. Continue as at the beginning of the row.

5 row. This row is very simple. We knit strictly according to the pattern. Where we knit 1 IRS each, where we knit 1 IRS each.

6 row. It will be exactly the same as the 2nd row was. 3 PP, 2 LRS. Skip 1 HRS and knit again 3 HRS. Next, we knit 7 IRS, adding to the 1st and 5th columns. Then again 6 LRS in a row.

Baby hats, reminiscent of the hairstyles of Cabbage Patch Kids dolls (babies from the cabbage patch), are very popular all over the world.

These original accessories suit the little ones so much that looking at them, it is simply impossible not to smile. Such a hat not only looks very cute, but also warms the child in cool weather. But most importantly - it will be made with your own hands and with love! It is quite simple to tie such a gift, you just need a little inspiration. So let's get started!

You will need:

• yarn of a suitable color;
• Crochet hook;
• colored ribbons;
• scissors and pins;
• baby, for which we make a hat.

How to do:

1. With a hook and thread, tie a simple cap for a child. You will use it as a base.

2. Make loops of threads and attach them to the bottom of the cap, forming a bang.

3. Now it's time to do your hair. For each pigtail you will need 19 pieces of yarn, each about 40 cm long.

4. Fold the pieces of yarn in half and tie them in the center. Then divide the resulting strands into 3 parts and start weaving a braid. Secure the end of the braid with a small piece of yarn.

5. It remains to carefully sew the pigtails to the cap. You can try to secure with a pin first. After the pigtails are fixed, tie a bow from the ribbon at their base.

Such a hat can also be knitted with knitting needles:
