The easiest hat option for a boy

The model, which will be described below, is intended for spring. It won't take a lot of yarn to make, and just a little time will be spent.

You can knit this model either on circular needles or on two, but then you will need to make a seam. Another option is to use stocking needles. Choose the method that is easier for you.

Knitting pattern

So, cast on 80 stitches (this is for ageabout 1.5 years) and knit with an elastic band 2x2 in a circle of about 4 cm. Next, go to the front surface. In the last row of rib, do not forget to either change the knitting needles for a larger size, or increase from 5 to 10 loops.

We continue knitting with front stitch for another 12-15 cm. After that, you need to start making decreases. In eight places, through an equal number of loops, we knit two together with the front. We make such reductions in each row. When there are 8 loops left on the needles, we thread a thread through them and tighten. We fill the ends on the wrong side.

That's basically it. Knitted spring hat for a boy. Having spent a minimum of time and yarn, you have updated your baby's wardrobe. As a hat decor for a boy, you can use a large button, as in the photo.

The knitted hat for a boy, described above, is very simple to make, but if you use an unusual decor, it will easily turn into an original and stylish spring model.

So, we knit a hat according to the above pattern, using yarn of a bright color, such as red. And from the black thread we make pompons - two of the same size and one smaller. From those that are larger, we make the ears of the cap, and from the small one - the nose. Eyes can be made from the remnants of dense fabric or crocheted these parts. We fix all the elements on the hat and get the panda's face. The photo above shows how to arrange all the details. Surely your baby will wear such a hat with great pleasure.

Here, another hat for a boy can be knitted with knitting needles. The scheme for creating such a model resembles those described above.

The difference is only in the final stage. Decrease starts similarly to the previous method, but is performed in four places and every two rows. After two loops remain on the knitting needles, they are threaded one into the other and tightened. To complete the design of the hat, you need to make a large pompom and fasten it to the end of the hat. It is better to knit such a model from multi-colored yarn to get a strip. The photo shows an example of such a hat, made in pastel colors. But you can make it more visible and bright.

But such a model looks stylish and beautiful, and is very comfortable to wear. A knitted hat for a boy, made in this version, will serve your baby for more than one year, sohow very well it stretches both in length and in width.

For her knitting, soft yarn of medium thickness and knitting needles one size larger than necessary are suitable. This is necessary in order for the fabric of the cap to turn out soft, loose and stretch well.

We start knitting, as in the first version, with an elastic band. But, unlike the previous options, instead of the front surface, after the elastic band, you need to complete 4-5 rows of a handkerchief pattern. If you are knitting on two needles, then just knit all the loops, and if on circular ones, then purl.

After you have made a few rows of garter stitch, we increase (10-15 loops) and knit an elastic band again, but only now it will be a 1x1 option.

There is no need to perform subtractions in this model. Having connected the cap to the required height, we simply thread the thread through the loops and tighten them. We fill the ends on the wrong side.

Knitting begins with a set onknitting needles 80-100 loops. Focus on the circumference of your child's head, the thickness of the yarn and knitting needles. Further knitting continues with facial loops. After fifteen centimeters, we begin to make reductions so that the hat fits snugly around the head. They are performed in the same way as in the first described option. Now let's move on to the formation of the ears and the visor of the hat.

To do this, on the bottom edge of the product, you need to mark the place where the ears of the cap will be located, and lift the loops. Knitting is performed with a garter stitch for 10-12 cm, after which we knit two loops together in each row three times from each edge and close the rest. We knit the second ear in the same way.

The visor is knitted similarly. Just do not need to make a decrease at the end to round off its shape. Please note that the visor is knitted from yarn of a different color. To keep it well and not fall on the eyes, it is fixed on the surface of the cap with buttons.

If there is such a need, you can attach strings to the ears. These can be laces crocheted or store bought.
