Crocheting a beret for a baby or a little fashionista is not difficult at all. An original headpiece can be decorated with a beautiful handmade flower, beads, embroidery or applique.
Handmade knitted items, in particular bright and elegant hats, will make your baby's wardrobe unique. Crocheting a cute beret or a funny hat is not difficult at all.
For a warm beret, you can take 100% woolen yarn. Beret for spring and cool summer evenings is knitted from polyacrylic or cotton threads in one fold. The crochet hook is selected according to the thickness of the thread (No. 2-4).
To correctly complete the main part of the beret - a circle, you need to calculate its dimensions with increments for the volume of the head. Measure the circumference of the baby's head. For example, 47 cm. Now divide it by 3. It turns out to be about 16 cm. Add 1-2 cm to the depth of the hat.
If the head circumference is unknown (hats are knitted as a gift or for sale), use approximate sizes. So, the volume of the head of a newborn up to 3 months is 35-40 cm, up to 6 - 42-44 cm. In a one-year-old baby - 44-46 cm.
A 1-2-year-old child has a head circumference of 46-48 cm, a 2-3-year-old - 48-50 cm. A 3-5-year-old baby - 50-54 cm, a 5-8-year-old - 52-56 cm …
On a handmade beret for a four-year-old girl, cast on 8 air loops and close them in a circle with a connecting post. In the first row, tie 16 double crochets.
To do this, the thread is picked up and the hook is put into the loop of the chain. Throw it over again, knit a loop. Pick up again and knit all three stitches together on the hook.
In the second row in a circle, knit 2 double crochets in each column of the first row. In the third row, alternate between 2 front and back embossed double crochets. In the 4th row, additions are made to expand the wedges of the beret.
Knit 2 front embossed double crochet, 1 simple double crochet. Then 2 purl stitches with a crochet and again a simple one.
The fifth and sixth rows, as well as even ones, from 8 to 18 inclusive, are knitted with the same additions. In odd (from 7 to 19) additions do not need to be done.
If the beret is created more voluminous, after the 18th row, you should continue knitting without changes 3-5 cm.
In the 20th row, decreases in wedges begin. Knit one of the 2 purl stitches with a crochet. In rows 21-24, the same subtractions are made.
For the edge of the beret, you need to complete 9 rows of single crochets. They put the hook into a loop, pick up the thread on it. Drag it through the loop. Again, put the thread on the hook and pull it through both loops that are on the hook. It turns out a simple column.
Check if the edge of the beret matches the circumference of the head. Tie it with a "crustacean step".
"Rachiy step" - ordinary single crochet, knitted in the opposite direction. Crossed threads prevent the edges of knitwear from stretching.
Insert the hook into the right loop. Grab the thread and pull out a new buttonhole. Tie one lifting air loop.
Reinsert the hook into the loop to the right of it. Pull out a new loop. Work two crossed stitches in one go.
Beret for a little fashionista can be decorated with a beautiful handmade flower. It is knitted in two strands. Make a chain of 75 chain stitches.
In row 2 of each loop, tie two double crochets. In the third, skip 2 loops, and from the third, tie 7 double crochets. Skip 2 stitches again. Tie the fifth loop with a single crochet. Continue this pattern to the end of the row.
Fold the flower in a spiral and secure with thread from the back. Place the bead in the center.
Children's knitted things and hats embroidered with beads, with applique and embroidery look original.
