Crochet is no longer considered an occupation for grandmothers and girls whom no one invites to the movies. Today, women and men from all over the world, with inexhaustible reserves of humor, creativity and energy, take up this instrument.

Give us a diagram

The result of the work of knitters are not only classic products such as sweaters, dresses, scarves, bedspreads and others. Many young craftsmen prefer to make cool crochet hats for themselves and their kids. It is impossible to find schemes for these models, since they simply do not exist. As a rule, such hats are born in a single copy and are pure impromptu.

True, craftswomen with experience, patience and imagination can repeat the original models, focusing on photographs.

This article offers various cool hats, photos and a few diagrams that will help you make some models.

Baby hats with ears

The photo at the beginning of the article showsseveral of the same type of hats, which are made according to the same principle, but decorated in different ways.

Each cool hat is based on the pattern of a classic headdress. This model is quite popular, and many people know how to perform it. In addition to single crochets, such a hat can be knitted with some kind of openwork pattern.

The photo below is a great example of a headdress for autumn or spring days. Its bottom is a flat circle that expands with each row. When the diameter of this part becomes sufficient, the expansion is stopped and work continues smoothly (without additions). The resulting base can be equipped with eyes, ears, horns and a variety of attributes.

How to tie ears for a hat

When the base is ready, you need to make sure that the product is warm and comfortable. Ears hanging on both sides perfectly protect the baby from the wind, and the ties allow you to firmly fix the hat at any time.

Cool hat with ears - it's two in one: warm and fun. The ears are knitted as a continuation of the cap fabric. Usually they have a triangular shape, the following diagram clearly illustrates the process of their creation.

Each hat should be tied with several rows of single crochets. This is necessary in order to prevent stretching and deformation of the product.

Ties are made in several ways:

1. Knit an even cordcrochet.
2. Weave a pigtail out of strands of threads.
3. Knit a spiral. This option is not very suitable for those who plan to use the ties for their intended purpose. They should serve more of a decorative function.
4. Sew on ribbons or store-bought cords.

Warm accessories

If you need a warm cool hat, then a layer of insulation is sewn inside the product. Regular fleece or flannel can handle this role.

Another option for making a non-standard base for a hat is proposed in the following diagram. Here, the “bushes” ornament is used as the main pattern.

After the bottom is formed, the rest of the flat fabric of the product is knitted with “bushes”. The main value of this scheme is that it shows how to cut the fabric when knitting the ears. The craftswoman will not have to spend extra time on independent attempts to develop this detail.

Decorate hats

The most interesting thing in such fun products is, of course, the final stage, decoration.

Several basic elements are most often used here:

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

A flat circle can be crocheted, focusing on the pattern of the bottom of the cap. The principle of expansion is relevant for a part of any size. To get eyes (for depicting animals and birds), you should complete the inner part of the circleblue, green or black, and then connect the white thread to the work. As an alternative, you can tie several circles: a large white one and a smaller colored one. Then they are sewn onto the hat in the right order.

Additional small elements (eyelashes, mouth, mustache, smile) are embroidered on the hat canvas with a knitting thread.

Flat triangles are knitted in the same way as the ears for the hat. Volumetric cones are obtained when, when working on circles, not six, but three single crochets are added. If you need to make 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 DIY hat is one of those projects that are fun to do with children. Their ideas are sometimes so fresh and out of the ordinary that they give the product a very special charm.

Improvise

Don't try to look for detailed descriptions and diagrams of unique hats, because it is much more pleasant and more fun to create them yourself.

Even such unusual hats as a stylized helmet and false beard found their fans.

A cool hat looks great with yarn hair attached to it. Of course, it is not suitable for daily use, but it is quite capable of making friends at a party or colleagues at a corporate party laugh. There are a lot of options for decorating: from the traditional Snegurochka braid to luxuriousViking-worthy hair.

So, let's knit cool hats! There are already schemes for the base and geometric shapes, it remains to combine them.
