Instructions
Step 1
You can create a unique model of a baby hat using the scheme of any beautiful napkin. Knit a panama hat from cotton threads - iris, chamomile - they keep their shape well, but the thing looks great from acrylic yarn. Start work from the bottom, tie a ring of six air loops, tie it with single crochets. Continue knitting, increasing the diameter of the circle, for this, knit two double crochets from each air loop. In the next row, make one air loop between the posts. With this pattern, knit seven rows, you should get a circle with a diameter equal to 10-12 cm.
Step 2
Do not make more additions, go on to knitting the sides with the main "checkerboard" pattern. Knit the first row of the crown by alternating five double crochets with three air loops. In subsequent rows, knit crochet stitches above the air loops, and air loops above the crochet stitches. Get an openwork pattern - a sirloin mesh. Having knitted the desired height, about 8 cm, begin to gradually expand the product by increasing the number of air loops. Having knitted four more rows with a pattern, go from the sides to the fields. Tie two rows with single crochets and move on to knitting the margins.
Step 3
First row: six stitches, single crochet, six stitches. Repeat the rapport to the end of the row. Second row: over the chain stitches, knit five double crochets, three chain stitches, one single crochet in the middle of the chain, a chain of three chain stitches, five double crochets. Follow this pattern to the end of the row.
Step 4
Third row: over the posts, knit the posts, over the air loops, six air loops. Knit the fourth row as the second. In the next rows, knit the columns, alternate the air chains - in even rows, knit chains of three air loops and a connecting loop, in odd rows - six air loops. After tying the desired width of the fields, finish the work with single crochets. For rigidity, insert fishing line or thin wire into the edge of the panama and tie it.
