Knitting: baby cap crocheted. A few ideas

Many young mothers are interested in some kind of needlework during maternity leave. And they often prefer knitting or crocheting. This is both useful and free time. In this article we will tell you about how to create a children's cap crochet, what threads and patterns are better to pick, what accessories can be added to the finished product.

First of all you need to choose the thread. For the summer yarn from a clap or a flax will approach, for the winter - from a wool. Now specially for children produce hypoallergenic acrylic - it holds well the heat, does not stretch, dries quickly and does not cause allergies. In addition, on sale you can find a combined yarn, for example: acrylic-wool, acrylic-cotton, acrylic-bamboo, cotton-viscose.

Which pattern to choose? As a rule, the children's cap crocheted for the summer with openwork rows in a circle. Usually different colors are used, but it is possible to tie a monophonic headdress, supplementing it with beautiful appliqués.

Also for the summer, you can tie a hat from the sun. First you have to untie a simple cap around the circle (openwork or not), then make the fields. For this you need to know the rules of knitting the circle. In order to keep the hat in shape, a special regiment for hats is crocheted around the edges of the fields. The finished product can be supplemented with satin ribbon, applique or feathers. A knitted cap for a boy can be decorated with appliqués of machines, aircraft or tanks. In addition to such a product, you can tie a scarf and mittens.

For winter, early spring or late autumn, it is better to knit a cap in dense rows (columns without or with one crochet) in a circle. A baby cap can be made in the form of an animal - a tiger, a bear, an owl, a monkey, a parrot.

How to knit a hat in a circle?

1st row. Gather five air loops, close the circle by means of a connecting loop.

2nd row. Pick up three air loops for lifting and tie into a circle eleven columns with one crochet. Close the circle with the connecting loop.

3rd row. Type three air loops and knit one loop in turn: first one post and then two. Complete the circle with the connecting loop.

4th row. Again, type three air loops and continue to knit at first 2 stitches with a crochet in two loops, and then two sticks with one cuff in one loop.

All subsequent rows (approximately 12) add one column.

Then tie another ten or fourteen rows without adding. So you will get a cap crochet, the scheme of which was described above. After the most interesting begins - the finished product is necessary to issue.

For a newborn, you can tie a hat or cap for photo sessions. On the street or at home you will not wear such a thing, but for beautiful photos it will be just right. Threads must be used the same as when knitting everyday hats. The finished product can be decorated with a flower made of beads or polymer clay or other beautiful decoration. Since such a baby cap, crocheted independently, is intended only for photo sessions, then you can not be afraid that your child will swallow or eat flowers. The main thing is not to leave the baby alone!
