Hat "panda" - create a good mood!

Charming hats in the form of animals have firmly won universal popularity, a cheerful knitted hat "panda" deservedly leads the list of sympathies of adults and children. And this is not surprising, because a funny black and white beast does not leave anyone indifferent. Unfortunately, we can not settle a real bear cub in our house, but the "panda" cap, bound by our own hands, will remind us of this "enchantress".

Each needlewoman has her own preferences, with what tools and yarn to work, so we will consider the option of knitting the cap with knitting needles and crochet.

For babies it is possible to connect "panda" from children's acrylic. This is a practical thread that is not afraid of machine washing, which is very important for a white product. We need two skeins of yarn (black and white) and a hook of the corresponding number.

Panda Crochet Head

We connect a chain of three air loops into a ring and knit in a circle the columns with a crochet. In the first and second row, increase the number of loops by half (12), in the next ten rows we sew 6 additional posts at regular intervals (72). Depending on the desired size, you can add several rows with the same sequence of work. When our cap becomes sufficient volume, we carry out 10-12 r. Without additions and finish the work with a row of columns without a crochet.

Bear ears

We knit a chain of three air loops, from the first loop we unfasten 3 columns with a crochet. In the next two rows of 2 cp. Lifting, and from each loop 2 columns with a crochet. The last, fourth, row is performed by columns without a crochet to give density.

The eyes and nose of the bear knit in a circle with the same sequence of applications as the ears. For the eyes will need to perform 4 rows, for the nose will be enough two.

Now our cap "panda" is ready, and it remains only to assemble it. Gently unfold the product on a flat surface, apply the parts and pin their tail pin. The ears and the nose of the bear are sewn with the thread in the tone, on the eyes, we first embroider the contrasting thread of the pupils and only then fix them at a distance of 8-10 cm from each other.

A panda-made hat: a work chart

For adult size of the product will need 100 gr. Light yarn, black enough 50 gr. Circular or stocking spokes must correspond to the number indicated on the yarn label.

We type on the spokes the number of loops corresponding to the sample, and we sew a rubber band 2x2 with a height of 3 cm, then go to the rubber band 1x1 or face. The canvas made by the smoothness will not hold the shape better, therefore it is better to knit a thin yarn cap with a rubber band, for a thicker thread this does not matter. When the height of the cap reaches 20-22 cm, close the hinges and join the seam with a light thread.

Eyes and nose of the panda are embroidered with black yarn, threading through the loops, as in knitting. The bear's ears are served by two pompons fixed to the corners of the cap. It's very simple to make pompoms yourself, just wrap the yarn on a cardboard "bagel" and tighten it in the middle, then cut the thread on the outside of the cardboard.

I hope that the new cap "panda" will not only warm you, but will also raise your spirits!
