A little red riding hood decorated with a white chrysanthemum will perfectly complement a girl's autumn-spring wardrobe. It can be worn with a long scarf. The fashionable headdress can be crocheted easily.
It is possible to update children's wardrobe for the new season without special expenses with the help of fashionable hats and a knitted scarf. It is better to knit hats for girls from yarn of bright cheerful colors. On rainy gray days, they will not only warm, but also cheer you up.
Make a knitted scarf long to wrap your neck well in cold weather. And tie beautifully over a jacket or coat. A warm knitted scarf will become an indispensable item in a girl's wardrobe.
For a hat "chrysanthemum" for a baby four years old, you need to buy wool yarn with 50% acrylic, so that the hat retains its shape well and does not stretch after washing. You will need 90 g of red thread and 60 g of white thread, a pearl-like bead or rhinestones, hook number 4.
The hat is knitted from top to bottom. Make 3 air loops for the bottom with red thread. Connect them in a ring. From each stitch in the first row, work 2 single crochets.
Insert the hook into the loop, throw the thread over it. Pull it through the loop. Crochet the thread again and pass it through the two loops on the hook. You get a simple single crochet.
In the second row, knit even loops with two single crochets. Up to row 13 inclusive, knit the bottom of the cap with single crochets, evenly adding 6 loops in a row. The principle is as follows: in row 3, 2 single crochets are knitted from each 3 loops, in 4 - from 4, etc.
From rows 14 to 29, knit all loops with a single crochet. There is no need to make additions. Rows 29 and 30 are made in the same way, but with white thread. For row 31, use red yarn again.
In this row, first knit 3 stitches with single crochet, then the fourth with a single crochet, clasping 2 white rows. So work the row to the end. Knit rows 32 to 36 as usual, with single crochet stitches.
Rows 33 and 35 are knitted like 31, but with white thread. Finish knitting a hat with a red thread. Rows 37 and 38 are knitted with simple columns.
The main work is done. Start knitting ears. Divide the loops of the circle of the finished hat into 5 equal parts. 2 parts - forehead, 1 - nape, 2 more parts fall on the ears. 17 loops each.
Knit the first 11 rows of the eyelet with simple crochet stitches. From the 5th row, you need to do one decrease from the sides (2 in a row). The second eyelet is made in the same way, on the opposite side of the cap.
Tie the edges of the cap, grabbing the ears, with one row of the "crustacean step". From red and white yarn, weave 2 cords for the ties. Sew them to the ears.
For a cord, tie the ends of 2 threads into a knot. From the red thread, make a loop, put it on your left index finger. With your right index finger, drag a loop made of white thread through it. Tighten the red loop. Alternate the threads.
The hat model is called "chrysanthemum" because it is decorated with a fluffy snow-white flower. Cast on 3 air loops for the flower, close them in a circle.
In the first row of each loop, knit 2 single crochets. From 2 to 4, rows of 2 single crochets are knitted from each 2, 3 and, respectively, a row of 4 loops.
In the 5th row of the flower, you need to tie the arches. In row 6 of each loop, tie 6 double crochets.
To knit arches, knit 5 air loops from even loops.
The diameter of the second half of the chrysanthemum is 1 cm larger. It is necessary to knit instead of two 3 rows with simple single crochet posts. Increase the number of "petals": tie 7 air loops in each 2 loop.
Sew the halves to each other, and the flower to the hat. Decorate the middle of the chrysanthemum with a bead or rhinestones.
