Cute images of the Chinese bamboo panda bear have not lost their popularity since the start of the 2011-2012 season. This funny exotic animal inspires manicurists, makeup artists, manufacturers of children's furniture, accessories and garments. If you are keeping up with the times, try knitting a beautiful hat with a panda's face and ears. You will need two skeins of yarn of the same thickness and texture - white (main) and black (decorative).
It is necessary
- - two straight knitting needles;
- - black and white yarn;
- - tailor's meter;
- - five stocking needles;
- - darning needle;
- - cardboard;
- - a notebook in a cage;
- - black marker;
- - two black buttons;
- - scissors;
- - cotton thread and fine needle.
Instructions
Step 1
Make a sample of work with the front stitch to find out the number of rows and loops in a 10 by 10 cm square. Find out the head circumference of the future owner of the headdress. For example, your knitting is 15 stitches and 20 rows squared; the circumference of the head along the median line of the forehead and the most convex occipital part is 52 cm.
Step 2
You will need 78 starter stitches to knit the rim of the beanie. Draw in advance the scheme of the jacquard pattern - the "glasses" of the panda. The approximate number of loops for creating the pattern is 38. Draw a jacquard pattern on a checkered sheet: mark with a light dotted line symmetrically located black spots; paint over the “loop” cells with black marker.
Step 3
Start knitting a hat. Cast on loops and tie several rows with an elastic band (alternate knit 2 and purl 2) or garter stitch (knit and purl rows).
Step 4
Continue to work with the front satin stitch, carefully following the jacquard pattern. When you knit to the black "glasses" of the panda, enter the black thread and complete the drawing. In this case, the white thread will stretch along the seamy side of the work.
Step 5
Do not allow the web to be pulled together! About the middle of each black spot, overlap the threads: put white on the working, black, yarn, then sew a loop.
Step 6
Work on the knitted hat until you have a straight canvas with part of the bamboo bear's face. Now you need to start cutting the loops to form the crown.
Step 7
Divide the work into several equal parts (in the given example, there should be 7 of them), and at the end of the sections, knit 2 adjacent loops together. Do this in each row until you pull the top of the garment down to a circle of several loops.
Step 8
Fasten the last open loops with thread and sew the panda hat on the back from the wrong side. Sew on the top of the "glasses" the eyes of the bear - shiny black buttons on the legs. Now proceed with the spout.
Step 9
Your task is to knit a small circle with knitting needles, tighten it with cotton thread along the edge and fill it with scraps of yarn. The center of the figure will be made of black threads, the rest will be made of white. Take a set of 5 knitting needles and cast on 4 of them a pair of black yarn loops.
Step 10
Make the first circular row with knit loops, while grabbing the thread while working. In the second row, knit 2 from each loop at once; do the next 3 circular rows without additions.
Step 11
From the sixth row, continue adding - each loop is knitted 2 times. Next, knit a figure in the image: 5 regular circular rows, 1 row with additions.
Step 12
When a black speck of the desired size forms in the middle of the work, continue knitting the panda's nose with white yarn.
Step 13
After the nineteenth row, increase from every fifth loop, and then from every sixth. When the circle is formed, close the loops of the last row.
Step 14
Stuff and sew the nose on the "face" of the headdress by hand with a blind stitch.
Step 15
Make pom-poms black: cut out two identical cardboard mugs without a round core, fold them together and wrap tightly with threads. Carefully cut the resulting string loops along the outer edge of the cardboard and tighten the center of the formed pompom. Trim the ears with scissors and sew them to the top of the trendy headdress.
