The mask cap, represented in the description, is crocheted. Yarn for similar products is usually chosen of medium thickness. The composition of the thread can be cotton / acrylic if the headpiece is prepared for a warm season. For winter and autumn, you can take a half woolen thread. Such a yarn is crocheted with hook # 2 or # 3. To work, you need 50 grams of thread of the main color (yellow) and the remnants of black threads for the design of the face. Also prepare a small lump of sintepon for filling the spout detail. The master class, presented below, tells how to make a hat for a child 1-1,5 years old. If you need a larger headgear, then tie more rows into the bottom part.

The following rows are knitted circular according to the scheme presented in the photo below, performing uniform increments. Next, do the canvas without the increase to the desired size (the depth of the cap). For this model, there were 15 rows without increments. We cut and fasten the thread.

We knit the ears. We select by thread of the main color 4 air loops, we connect them in a ring. We execute 7 columns without a crochet. The following rows are knitted with uniform increments. When the circle in diameter becomes 6 centimeters, we cut off the thread and tighten the last loop. The second part of the tab is similar.

The eyes are knitted with black yarn. We dial 5 air loops, connect them to the ring with a connecting post. In it we perform 15 columns with one crochet, and then we cut off the thread. The second eye knit exactly the same.

The nose is executed according to the same circuit of the circle as the bottom of the cap. When this part is connected, in the middle we embroider with black threads an element in the form of a triangle, thus denoting the center of the spout of the bears.
