Do-it-yourself things are unique - you will not find such things on the street on another person. Crocheting takes a hook easier and faster than knitting needles, and even a novice master can do it. In addition, with this method of knitting, it is easier to evaluate the result in the process of work and it is easy to correct the product.
It is necessary
- - threads;
- - hook.
Instructions
Step 1
First, choose a thread and a crochet hook. For autumn and winter models, take wool, semi-wool. From light, fluffy wool, you get a hat that will softly keep its shape and sit well on your head. For the summer version, it is better to take cotton or linen yarn. But keep in mind that these threads are less elastic than woolen threads. Therefore, all errors will be more noticeable, and the product will be tougher. It is not recommended to take viscose - this is a heavy fiber, the thing connected from it will sag under its own weight. If the thread is too thin, knit in two folds.
Step 2
Usually for a medium-thick woolen thread, hook No. 3-3, 5 is used. But here you should focus on your knitting technique. If the product turns out to be overtightened and stiff, take a larger hook. Conversely, if the knitted fabric is loose, use the lower numbered crochet hook.
Step 3
Start knitting from the center. First, type 4-7 air loops, depending on the thickness of the yarn, close them in a ring and knit 8 single crochets. You can knit both in the loops of the chain, and through the chain itself, if the thread is thin.
Step 4
To get a circle, you need to make increments in each row. If you knit in single crochets, add 6 stitches in each row, if in single crochet - 12. Make sure that the intervals in the row between the added stitches are equal, otherwise the product will turn out to be beveled to one side.
Step 5
The number of increments can also vary depending on your technique and thread thickness. Evaluate the result from time to time. If the circle around the edges is tightened, make more increments, but if waves form at the edges - less. So knit until you reach the desired diameter.
Step 6
Knitting methods vary. You can knit in a spiral without starting each row with an air loop. With this option, the canvas is smooth and uniform. Berets, tied in this way with single crochets, look especially neat.
To make it easier to count the increments, make a mark in knitting from one edge, pinning a pin. Count the stitches from the side of the pin as the beginning of the row.
Step 7
When knitting more complex embossed or openwork patterns, start each row with one air loop for single crochets, two for half crochets, and three for double crochets. If you have chosen a complex pattern, but doubt your abilities, it is better to find a ready-made pattern for knitting a beret in needlework magazines.
