Warm and fashionable: we knit a summer cap for baby crochet

Every mom knows how problematic it is to collect a newborn for a walk in the summer. A tender baby's skin and an underdeveloped thermoregulation system puts before mother a difficult task: to put on a child so that it does not overheat and at the same time does not freeze. Help solve this problem can a summer cap for the baby, crocheted. Its sufficiently dense material will not allow the newborn to freeze, and the lattice structure will ensure normal ventilation of the air, without letting the crust overheat.

There are many options for knitting a summer cap for newborn babies, but we suggest you tie a simple cap literally in one day. This master class shows an example of a headgear for a girl, but replacing the color of the product and removing the decor, it will easily turn into a hat for the boy.

Summer cap for baby crochet - step by step instruction

The bottom of the cap

  1. Knitting we begin according to the scheme from the bottom of the cap, which is measured on the top of the newborn. At the end of each row we sew two lifting loops so that the product is not too dense.

  2. We collect five air loops, we connect them in a ring with a column without a crochet. Then we sew another circle around the picture.

  3. The further work should be with constant fitting, that is, when the bottom of the cap is connected, it is necessary to try again on the top of the baby, the right size.

  4. Another fitting: bend the circle in half - this should be a semicircle of the child's head (in our case it is 10 cm).

The main part of the summer hat

  1. The next (sixth) row is knit, not adding loops - this will be a "turn" from the bottom of the cap to the main canvas.

  2. In the seventh row we alternate three columns with a crochet and a column with two crochets and one apex. The eighth row is knitted without additions. The ninth row is knitted with alternating: four columns with one crochet and a column with two crochets and one top. The tenth row is knitted without additions, and further on to the depth of dressing the cap we knit, not adding loops. The penultimate row is tied with columns without cords. The last row of the arch: five air loops, one loop and let us go to the next, we collect five air loops, etc.
