The health of a newborn is a fragile and delicate system. And so that the baby does not get sick, parents need to dress the child correctly and according to the weather. In the cold season, you can't do without a woolen cap. It can be easily knitted with your own hands on knitting needles.
It is necessary
50g of yarn (100m), knitting needles # 3, hook # 4
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to tie the back of the cap. For a sample and measurements, you can use a simple knitted or flannel cap from your baby. Having made the calculations based on the head circumference and the thickness of the threads, cast on the required number of loops on the knitting needles and knit with a 1: 1 elastic band for about 32-34-36 rows, based on the size of the child's head. Those. you must tie a rectangle that matches the size of the back of the sample cap, or better, a little larger than the sample.
Step 2
Hook the resulting rectangle on the needles along the right, and then along the left. You need to cast on 16-18-20 edging (outer) loops on the left and right.
Step 3
The first row is knitted with the front stitch. Edge loops from the edges need to be knitted with crossed front loops. First knit from the right edge. When you knit the first stitches that have been dialed, add 1 stitch from under the broach after every two stitches for a total of 8 additional stitches.
Step 4
Next, knit the loops of the upper part of the connected rectangle with the front loops. Then add 1 loop from under the broach. Work 2 stitches on the left edge of the rectangle with crossed knit stitches. Then we knit the left edge in the same way as the right one. As a result, you should get 24 loops on both edges and loops in the middle (how many of them depend on your initial calculations, it should be about 17-22). Then knit 32 rows with the front stitch, then 6 rows with a 1x1 elastic band. Close the hinges.
Step 5
The cap along the bottom edge must be crocheted with single crochet posts. Weave a lace from four threads, bend the edge of the cap knitted with an elastic band outward and thread the lace along the bottom edge. The cap is ready, you can try it on.
