Panama is an irreplaceable item that protects from the scorching sun. In addition, it can be an exclusive and stylish accessory that complements your summer outfit. Panama can be knitted and crocheted. However, a crocheted hat looks prettier and a little easier to knit.
It is necessary
100 g cotton yarn, hook # 3-3, 5 or circular needles # 3
Instructions
Step 1
Knit a hat from cotton threads, for example, "Iris" using a crochet hook No. 3-3, 5. Before you start knitting the product, make a sample and calculate the density. Make the calculation as follows: count the number of loops in the sample and divide by the number of centimeters. Thus, you will get the calculation of the loops in one centimeter. Measure the volume of your head and multiply it by the number of loops in one centimeter. For example, the head volume is 55 cm, and the knitting density is 2 loops per 1 cm, therefore, the total number of loops is 110 cm.
Step 2
Since the margins are slightly wider than the girth of the head, then several loops should be added (depending on the size of the margins). For small margins, add about 30 stitches. So, if you decide to start knitting from the fields, then make a chain of 140 loops and knit with the selected pattern, making the necessary decreases. In the first row, decrease one loop every four stitches, knit the next row without decreasing, then subtract one loop every five loops and in the next row knit again without decreasing. Then again, make the deductions. In total, knit to the required number of loops to girth the head.
Step 3
Then knit in a circle without increments or increments to the required depth. To get the crown, knit in a circle in each row, decreasing the loops. Until there is one loop left. Fasten it, bring the thread to the wrong side.
Step 4
You can start knitting this wonderful hat from the top of the head. Work in a chain of four stitches and continue knitting in a circle. After making the bottom of the hat, knit without adding. Then move on to tying the fields. The fields can be made openwork using the napkin knitting pattern.
Step 5
Panama is knitted in the same way. Calculate the required number of loops in the same way. Make a typesetting glad on circular knitting needles, close the circle and knit, with a fancy pattern, making the necessary subtractions. Continuing to knit in a circular fashion, form the brim, crown and bottom of the panama, the same way as when crocheting.
Step 6
Before putting on the hat, moisten it and let it dry.
