Hat Kubanka knitted for women. Scheme with description, master class

With the arrival of cold weather, it becomes important for women to choose interesting headwear that will highlight the advantages of their appearance without hiding their hair. The Kubanka hat is in high demand, which meets all the listed requirements. The product can be knitted independently using knitting needles.

Necessary tools and materials

The women's Kubanka hat requires the correct calculation of the sizes so that the product fits perfectly on the head. Additionally, you need to decide on the type of thread material and knitting needles. The choice of knitting tool will depend on the model of the headdress. For continuous knitting, it is optimal to use stocking or circular needles.

It is also acceptable to use regular straight knitting needles, but the product will have a seam at the back. The appropriate knitting needle size is No. 3.

Thick yarn is best for this work, because thin thread material will not retain its shape. Also, to achieve the required density, it is permissible to fold the thread in several layers (this method is appropriate if there is no suitable dense material).

The Kubanka hat with knitting needles for women can be knitted from wool or combined threads. In this case, the material can create relief, imitate fur or be fluffy, smooth, with a gradient, melange or monochromatic.

Schemes with description of works for beginners

Any hat knitted with knitting needles will always be unique and with an individual size that differs from the standard parameters. However, a minimal difference in width and length can ruin the work. As a result, the headdress will not be suitable for wearing.

To avoid such a situation, you need to calculate the dimensions of the future product in advance:

Parameter	Calculation
Length of the side	The measuring tape needs to be pulled around the head. As a result, 1-2 cm should be subtracted from the resulting number, because the knitted headdress can be slightly stretched. If you specifically reduce the parameter, the product will fit tightly to the head and protect from cool air.
Crown height	Initially, you need to find out the length from one ear to the other through the crown area. Then the number must be divided by 2. To the result obtained, you need to add 3 cm (considered the depth of the planting). To obtain the optimal height, it is recommended to subtract 7 cm from the resulting number.
Bottom diameter	The head circumference parameter must be divided by 3.14, then 1.5 cm should be subtracted from the result obtained. The final number is considered the correct parameter.

With crossed loops

A Kubanka hat knitted for women can have an ornament in the form of various plaits or a flat small pattern. Garter stitch and satin stitch are also suitable for creating a headdress. These techniques can be used when decorating the main part or the bottom of the hat, as well as if the material has relief or it is formed after further finishing of the fabric. Parallel columns can be used to create a pattern in the form of a broach, braid, braids, if you knit the fabric from the bottom.

In order for the pattern to wrap around the product in a circle, it is necessary to design the elements across. This can be achieved by side knitting when creating a strip that will match the length of the head circumference. In this case, the width of the work product will correspond to the height of the main part of the headdress.

When crossing loops, it is permissible to make a relief with a diamond-shaped ornament. This pattern is often used when creating a headdress. When crossing elements to the right, 1 element should be behind the fabric, and the next 2 loops must be made front. The element that was not knitted must be made front.

To cross the elements to the left, 2 elements need to be transferred to an additional tool (they should be in front of the fabric), then you should make 1 front and 2 front (use from an additional needle) loops.

Step-by-step description of the work:

1. In 1 row make 5 purl elements. Transfer the next 3 fragments to an auxiliary tool, leaving them at the back of the fabric. Then knit 2 front, 3 front (use loops from an additional needle) and 5 purl elements.
2. 2 and all other even rows knit according to the created pattern.
3. In the 3rd row, first make 4 purl parts. Then make a right crossing. Then make a front loop and start crossing the fragments to the left. At the end of the row, make 4 purl fragments.
4. Row 5 includes 3 purl elements, crossing to the right, front, purl, front parts and crossing to the left. At the end of the row, knit 3 purl loops.
5. At the beginning of the 7th row, make 2 purl fragments. Then, between the right and left crossing, knit with alternation of 1 front and purl element (the last loop should be front, 5 parts should be made in total). Finish the row with 2 purl loops.
6. Start row 9 with 1 purl element. After crossing to the right with alternation, knit 7 fragments consisting of 1 front and 1 back loop (the outer elements should be front). Then perform a crossing to the left and create a purl detail.
7. Row 11 consists of a purl element, a left crossover, *alternating purl and front fragments* (repeat 3 times), a purl loop, a right crossover and a purl element.
8. In the 13th row make 2 purl fragments. Then make left and right crossings, between which knit *purl, front* (repeat alternation 2 times) and again purl elements. Finish the row with a purl loop.
9. Row 15 includes 3 purl stitches, left crossover, 1 purl, front, purl element, right crossover and again 3 purl pieces.
10. At the beginning and end of row 17, make 4 purl elements. Then, between repaintings to the left and right, knit 1 purl element.
11. Line 19 corresponds to line 1.

One diamond will not be enough for the optimal height of the hat, therefore it is advisable to start work from line 13 or 15.

When the 18th line is done, you need to make an ornament starting from the 1st line. Then you need to repeat the pattern again from the 3rd to the 5th or 7th line. To accurately determine the repetitions, it is recommended to make a trial piece of fabric to the height of 1 rhombus. Then you should compare the sample with the required height of the headdress. The missing lines can be made using another technique.

In this case, the rows should be located on top or alternate with rows that form a diamond pattern. It is permissible to arrange the pattern diagonally with crossed stripes. In this case, each fragment of the pattern will include 6 crossed loops. The first 3 elements must be removed and left in front of the fabric, then the next 3 loops must be made front. Then you need to knit the elements that were removed at the beginning.

Step-by-step description of the work:

1. In 1 row make 36 front elements.
2. 2 and other even rows consist of purl stitches.
3. Row 3 includes 6 crossed and 6 front fragments.
4. At the beginning and end of the 5th row there should be 3 front elements, between which 6 crossed and 6 front loops should be made in alternation.
5. Row 7 consists of 6 front and 6 crossed front elements.
6. The outer 9 loops in row 9 should be knit. Between them, alternate a pattern of 6 crossed and 6 knit fragments.
7. From row 11, repeat rows starting from row 3.

This type of ornament corresponds to the side knitting of the product. However, 36 elements will not be enough for the height, so it is necessary to create a headband to compensate for the part that is missing. In this case, it is permissible to use the garter stitch technique or to design the knitting in the form of a small ornament.

Entwined with loops

The Kubanka hat with knitting needles for women can be decorated with twisted loops using thick threads. Due to this, there will be no crossings, and the product will have relief. The 1x1 elastic acts as the knitting base. A group of 3 elements must be twisted 2 times with working thread material. In this case, such fragments will be located in a checkerboard pattern.

To perform the wrapping, you should initially design the details according to the pattern, transferring the working yarn to the front part of the product. Then you need to transfer 3 knitted elements to the left tool, pulling the working material in front of the loops and placing the yarn at the back of the fabric.

Afterwards, these elements need to be transferred to the right knitting needle, leaving the yarn in front of the fabric. As a result, 1 wrap should be created. Then these 3 elements need to be wrapped again with yarn in the same way, but leaving the material behind the fabric.

The principle of creating an ornament:

• in 1 row you need to make 1 front and 1 back element;
• 2 and other even lines should match the pattern;
• The 3rd row should include a front and back element, 3 fragments knitted according to the pattern and wrapped 2 times with yarn, a back and wrapped loop;
• in the 5th row you must first wrap the element, then knit a purl loop;
• Line 7 must match line 3.

At the beginning of the work it is recommended to make 2 samples, one of which should be made with a rib, the other - with the main knitting. The number of elements for the set should be calculated according to 1 sample. In this case, the difference in the density of the ornaments should be determined.

Step-by-step description of the work:

1. Cast on 105 elements on circular tools. To close the loops into a ring, additionally knit 1 additional element and pull it through the first one.
   
2. 6 rows of 1x1 elastic with alternating purl and face parts.
3. Afterwards, you can move on to the main ornament. If the fabric is tightened, add the required number of fragments, based on the created sample. Considering the length of the elastic, knit the product to a height of 14 cm.
4. To fix the shape of the hat, make a roll by making 8 lines of satin stitch from the front elements. Fold this area in half and lengthwise so that the back part is inside.
5. To connect the outer stitches of the satin stitch, from the lower stitch of the roller, pick up the longitudinal drawstring, which creates the purl element, and transfer it to the left tool.
6. The raised fragment with the outer element from the current line is made together with a front one. Then from the bottom again raise the loop and make 2 together with a front one. By analogy, knit the entire line completely.
7. If problems arise with such a design of the roller, it is recommended to additionally make 2 lines with the front elements. The roller can be sewn with a needle, retreating from the open fragments by 2 lines down for the convenience of continuing the work. In order not to pull the product, do not skip this step.
8. After completing the creation of the roller, make the next 2 lines from the front elements. After that, you can start making the base of the hat.
9. To do this, reduce the loops through the lines. Divide all the elements into 7 equal parts, so that each has 15 loops.
10. Each section starts with 2 together knitwise. The other 13 elements are designed with knitwise. Then make a reduction again, continuing the work.
11. In 1 round the number of elements should be reduced by 7 pieces. As a result, 98 fragments should remain.
12. Make the new wrapping without decreasing.
13. In the next line, at the beginning of each part, reduce 1 piece again. Continue similar actions until there are 14 pieces in total.
14. Shorten the working thread material by threading the end of the segment through the needle. Transfer the elements that remain open to the needle and pull the yarn through. Secure the thread tightly and hide the end of the segment.

If desired, the headdress can be insulated by picking up the initial number of elements along the edge and knitting with the front surface to the required length. The resulting fragments must be closed by sewing the free edge to the roller. Knitting of the hat can be started from the middle of the base. In this case, it is necessary to make a turn from the thread material, surrounding it with 7 elements.

Afterwards, the work must be designed in a circle using stocking tools. To do this, you need to make increases using wedges used when decreasing (at the beginning of each wedge, 1 element through the line). When the base is knitted to the required diameter, the work should be continued without decreases.

By analogy, you can make a roll, which can also be knitted before the elastic. When the outer element is designed, all the details need to be closed using the elastic method, tightening the yarn on the top of the headdress.

Secrets for Beginners

A knitted Kubanka hat for women will turn out beautiful and of the correct shape if you know a few secrets:

• Initially, you need to knit a small-sized control fragment of the product. When creating a trial sample, you need to rely on the diagram with a description that was chosen as an example. The trial fragment of the fabric should be 10x10 cm in size. A ruler must be attached to the resulting sample to clarify the number of loops that fall on 1 cm (the height and width of the product should be taken into account). If you know the knitting density, you can correctly calculate the number of elements in the set line.
• If desired, the headdress can be decorated with ribbons, stones, beads, rhinestones or crocheted flowers. Using various techniques, the product can be decorated with embroidery. Also, with the help of knitting needles, you can make false braids, presented in the form of long ribbons, which reach 10 loops in width. The resulting parts should be intertwined by 3 or 5 pieces. Cords created from air loops using a hook can be chosen as decoration. This decoration, laid out in a beautiful pattern, just needs to be sewn to the product with threads.
• A hat made of wool yarn is subject to stretching (especially after washing or when using low-quality material), therefore, it is recommended to reduce the head circumference by 2 cm. Due to this, errors in calculating the correct hat size will not be made.
  
• The length of the knitting tool will depend on the type of fabric. If the needles are straight, then their length should vary between 25-36 mm. When choosing circular knitting needles, the length of the connecting cord should reach 40 cm. This is considered the optimal size for creating a hat.
• When knitting tightly, knitting tools should be a full size larger. When knitting loosely, it is advisable to use knitting needles a full size smaller. The surface of the knitting needles should be smooth, so that there are no burrs with notches and other deformations. At the same time, the edges of the tools should not be very sharp, otherwise the thread material will split into fibers. However, if you use blunt knitting needles, you can stretch the loops.
• When choosing a circular tool, you need to pay attention to the quality of the cord that connects the needles together. Unlike a plastic tube, a metal, PVC or nylon cable will be stronger. The area where the tools connect to the cord should be completely smooth. At the same time, these parts should have the same thickness. The length of the cord should match the length of the future headdress for ease of knitting. Due to this, the elements will be freely located on the line.

The women's Kubanka hat looks beautiful and elegant, while the product will be able to emphasize the advantages of the face and will not hide the curls. Due to simple patterns with a clear description, not only experienced but also novice craftsmen can knit a headdress with knitting needles.
