Cool cap with your own hands? Easy!

Crocheting has long been considered an occupation for grandmothers and girls, whom no one calls to the cinema. Today, this tool is taken by women and men from all over the world, possessing an inexhaustible supply of humor, creativity and energy.

Give me the scheme!

As a result of knitters' work, not only classical items, such as sweaters, dresses, scarves, bedspreads, etc., become the result. Many young masters prefer to make funny hats for themselves and their kids. Schemes of these models can not be found, since they simply do not exist. As a rule, such caps are born in a single copy and represent an impromptu in its pure form.

However, the skilled workers, who have experience, patience and imagination, can repeat the original models, focusing on photographs.

This article offers various cool hats, photos and several schemes that will help to make some models.

Children's hats with ears

In the photo at the beginning of the article, several uniform caps are depicted which are executed according to the same principle, but are decorated differently.

Each such cool cap is based on the classic headgear scheme. This model is quite popular, and many know how to do it. In addition to the columns without a crochet, such a cap can be tied with some openwork pattern. The photo below shows an excellent example of a headdress for autumn or spring days. Its bottom is a flat circle that expands in each row. When the diameter of this part becomes sufficient, the expansion is terminated and continues to work smoothly (without additions). The resulting base can be provided with eyes, ears, horns and various attributes.

How to tie the ears for the hats

When the base is ready, care must be taken to ensure that the product is warm and comfortable. Ears hanging from both sides, perfectly protect the baby from the wind, and the ties allow you to firmly fix the cap at any time.

A cool cap with ears is two in one: both warm and fun. Ears knit as a continuation of the canvas. Usually they have a triangular shape, clearly illustrates the process of their creation the following scheme.

Each cap should be tied with several rows of columns without a crochet. This is necessary in order to prevent stretching and deformation of the product.

Ties are made in several ways:

1. Crochet a smooth crochet cord.
2. Weave a pigtail from strands of thread.
3. Knit a spiral. This option is not very suitable for those who plan to use the outfits for the intended purpose. They should perform a decorative function rather.
4. Sew tapes or purchase cords.

Warm accessories

If you need a warm cool hat, then inside the product sew a layer of insulation. With this role, a regular fleece or flannel can handle.

Another option for manufacturing a non-standard base for the cap is proposed in the following scheme. Here, as the main pattern, the ornament of the "bushes" is used.

After the bottom is formed, the "bush" knits the rest of the flat fabric of the product. The main value of this scheme is that it shows how to reduce the canvas when tying the ears. The masters will not have to spend too much time on independent attempts to develop this detail.

Decoration of hats

The most interesting in such cheerful products is, of course, the final stage, decoration.
Here most often apply several basic elements:

• Flat circles (eyes, spots, nostrils).
• Flat triangles.
• Volumetric cones.

A flat circle can be crocheted, focusing on the bottom of the cap. The principle of expansion is relevant for parts of any size. To get the eyes (for the image of animals and birds), follow the inner part of the circle in blue, green or black, and then connect the white thread to work. Alternatively, you can associate several circles: a large white and a color smaller. Then they sew on the hat in the right order.

Additional small elements (eyelashes, mouth, mustache, smile) embroider on the canvas of the hats with a knitting thread.

Flat triangles are knitted in the same way as the ears for the cap. Volumetric cones are obtained when, when working on circles, not six but three columns without a crochet are added. If you want to perform voluminous triangular cat ears, you can sew two flat elements or tie a cone, adding loops unevenly (only in two places of each row).

A cool cap refers to those projects that are interesting to do with children. Their ideas are sometimes so fresh and unordinary that they give the product a very special charm.

Improvise!

Do not try to look for detailed descriptions and diagrams of unique headgear, because it's much nicer and fun to create them yourself.

Even such unusual hats, like a stylized helmet and an overhead beard, found their fans.

It looks cool cool cap, which is attached to hair from yarn. Of course, for daily use it will not work, but it makes it quite possible to make friends at a party or colleagues at a corporation laugh. Variants for decorating the mass: from the traditional braids of the Snow Maiden to a luxurious head of hair, worthy of the Vikings.

So, we knit funny hats! Schemes of the base and geometric shapes are already there, it remains to combine them.
