An openwork miracle: we learn to knit a summer child's hat with knitting needles

In the hot summer months, the child's head should be carefully protected from direct sunlight and a piercing wind. With this task will perfectly cope, for example, a children's summer hat, knitted. Made from a mixture of yarn containing cotton, it will not allow the baby to overheat and will not interfere with the natural air exchange of the scalp. In addition, using an interesting openwork pattern, as, for example, in our master class, you can create not only a practical, but also a beautiful and original accessory for the child.

Removal of measurements and calculation of loops of a children's summer hat

Before you start knitting the cap, you need to take two measures: measure the circumference of the child's head and the distance from the ear to the top of the head. Then you need to link a small pattern pattern and calculate the number of loops on its example. In our case, the summer child's cap was made with spokes by the pattern "wave" and one of its rapports is 3.5 cm. It turns out that with a head circumference of 46 cm, we need 13 such rapports, that is 107 points (13 × 8 + 2 ct. + 1 st.).

Important! Knitting children's summer hats has one feature: the set-up edge should not be tight, since the product will crush and rub the baby's head. So try to knit tight, but not too tight.

Summer children's cap with knitting needles - step by step instruction

Bezel of children's hats

1. Knitting a summer children's cap with knitting need to start with a strip in 6 rows of garter stitch. It will not allow the edge of the product to fold and will act as a rim.

   Attention! The size of the strip should correspond exactly to the circumference of the head. Otherwise, the summer hat, knitting started with an excessively loose bezel, will fall on your eyes and you will later have to tie it up.

2. Starting with the 7th row, we go on knitting the "wave" pattern. When connecting 3 sts together with the permutation, you must first swap the 1st and 2nd sts on the left spoke. Then enter the right spokes at once in 3 steps and tie one of them out of them. P.

Thanks to this pattern, the lower edge of the summer children's knitted cap will have a beautiful zigzag edge.

The main part of the summer baby cap

1. We pass to the main part. To do this, repeat the pattern according to the scheme 6 times. The width of the cloth in this case should be equal to the measure from the ear to the crown of minus 2 cm.

   Symbols of the scheme:

   | - Individuals. etc. in persons. series and others. to become extinct. series of

   - - of. etc. in persons. series and persons. п in изн. series of

   • - CAPITAL

   ↓ - 3 items with permutation together

   On a note! If necessary, at this stage, you can change the size of the cap by increasing or decreasing the depth of the product at your discretion by 1-2 cm.

2. We pass to the facial smooth surface, but in each facial row we continue to perform 3 points each with permutation together. Get a pattern similar to the one shown on the diagram, but without nakidov.

3. In the last row, we sew all the loops together in two and cut the thread, leaving a 20 cm long tail.

Assembling a summer baby cap

1. We transfer all loops to the hook.

2. Draw through them the remaining end of the yarn and tighten the thread.

3. With the same thread we sew the edges of the cap. For this, it is best to use a vertical knitted seam. It turns out to be the most flat and soft, which is especially important when we knit a cap for children.

4. A comfortable and beautiful children's summer hat is ready!
