Hat Acorn knitting needles for women. Scheme with description

Content

The technique for making the Acorn hat is no different from knitting a classic headdress with knitting needles. The only peculiarity is the method of decreasing loops, which allows you to form a pointed crown. To knit this model for women, it is enough to be able to knit the main loops (front (LP) and back (IP)). Experienced knitters can make a product with a complex pattern.

How to choose knitting needles and yarn?

The Acorn hat for women can be knitted from any threads, depending on the preferences of the needlewoman. Before you start knitting, you need to select yarn and knitting needles. The choice of threads depends on the season for which the model will be made. Wool, angora or mohair are ideal for winter, since products made from them are especially warm. Cotton, acrylic or silk are suitable for the off-season.

When choosing knitting needles for knitting a hat for women, you need to focus on the thickness of the thread. The tool should be one size larger, for example, for 1 mm yarn, knitting needles No. 2 will do.

Classic Acorn Hat Knitted for Women

The simplest model is the classic one. It can be knitted from any medium-thick yarn. Ideally, use wool or semi-woolen threads. The master class is designed for a head circumference of 56 cm.

For this option you will need:

wool yarn - 50 g - 55 m;
scissors;
markers;
circular knitting needles No. 7.

Step by step production:

Cast on 72 sts, join in a circle (mark the beginning of the work with a marker).
Row 2. Knit all loops ip. The following rows alternate LP and ip.
Row 3: Knit all sts, inserting the knitting needle under the thread located at the back of the work.
Row 4. Perform a single crochet, inserting the needle under the thread on the front side of the work. Knit to a height of 5 cm, alternating rows.
The main fabric of the product is made with the front surface. To do this, first knit 21 knit stitches, inserting the needle under the thread on the front side of the work. Make a decrease, remove 2 loops on the left knitting needle, turn them over and throw them back, knit knit stitches, inserting the needle under the thread located at the back of the work. Repeat the decrease. Continue knitting knit stitches, picking up the thread from behind. Again, make 2 decreases in the same way. Continue knitting until the end of the row.
Complete subsequent rows without decreasing. Knit another 10 cm. The height of the product from the cast-on row should be 15 cm.
In the next row, make 2 decreases by knitting 25 stitches as front loops, inserting the needle into the yarn on the front side of the work. Make a decrease, knit the next 2 stitches as front loops, inserting the needle under the yarn on the front side of the work to create a rightward tilt. Knit 25 more knit stitches, make a decrease by knitting 2 stitches together as front loops, inserting the needle under the yarn on the front side of the work to create a rightward tilt. Knit to the end of the row.
Start forming the crown. Divide all the loops on the knitting needles into 6 (you get 11 loops). Make a decrease in every 10-11 loop. First knit 9 LP, and knit the next 2 together LP, inserting the knitting needle under the thread on the front side of the work to get a tilt to the right. Knit in this way until the end of the row.
Decrease the following rows by 6 loops and knit 1 less loop in each one until the decreases are made.
In the 2nd row of the crown, knit 8 knit stitches, inserting the needle under the thread on the front side of the work, knit the next 2 together knit stitches, inserting the needle under the thread on the front side of the work to create a tilt to the right, and so on until the end of the row.
In the 3rd row of the crown, knit 7 knit stitches, make a decrease.
Continue knitting with a decrease in the 6th loop until there are 12 loops left on the needles.
Finish by working 3 rows of stockinette stitch without decreasing. Cut the yarn to a length of at least 15 cm, use a needle to move the loops onto it, tighten and bring the yarn to the wrong side.
Hide the ends of the threads.

Knit 2 sts from pin before work.

Step by step production:

Cast on 133 sts using 2.5 mm needles. Knit 35 rows with 2/2 rib pattern.
Form a fold for a good bend of the lapel. For this purpose, it is necessary to knit 1 row in reverse: lp - purl, and ip - front.
Knit 16 more rows with a rib pattern. Remove the loops onto knitting needles No. 3 and add another 19 loops for the main pattern. Make increases as follows: knit 7 sts of rib pattern, increase, next 7 sts of rib pattern, increase – and so on until the end of the row, 19 times. There should be 152 sts on the knitting needles in total.
Go to the main pattern. Form 2 braids on the purl surface background. To do this, divide 152 sts into 8 rapports of 13 loops each. For the purl surface pattern, 48 loops remain.

Start forming the crown. To do this, divide the total number of loops by 6.
Make a decrease in every 10-11 loop. Knit 9 sts according to the pattern, and knit the next 2 loops together knitwise, inserting the needle under the thread on the front side of the work to create a tilt to the right. Do this until the end of the row.
Decrease the following rows by 6 sts, knitting until the decreases in each row are 1 st less.
In the 2nd row of the crown, knit 8 sts, inserting the needle under the thread on the front side, knit the next 2 sts together sts, inserting the needle under the thread on the front side to create a tilt to the right, and so on until the end of the row.
In the 3rd row, knit 7 sts, decrease. Continue like this until the end of the row.

Advice from needlewomen

Before you start knitting an acorn hat, you need to carefully think over the pattern that the model will be made with and carefully study the diagram so as not to unravel the product during the process, since in this case the quality of the yarn deteriorates significantly.

Adviсe:

To correctly calculate the required number of loops, you need to knit a sample and determine how many loops are in 1 cm, then multiply the resulting number by the head circumference measurement taken.
Having finished the work, it is necessary to hide the threads, this can be done with a special thick needle with a blunt end or a hook. The ends should be removed to the wrong side.
The finished hat must be washed according to the yarn manufacturer's recommendations and dried horizontally.
The product can be additionally decorated with beads, a brooch, beads, or a fur pompom can be sewn on.

This model looks especially interesting when made of thick yarn. The Acorn hat is an elegant wardrobe item. The product, knitted with knitting needles from mohair, wool or angora yarn, perfectly retains heat, warming even in the most severe frosts. This model can be knitted for women of any age.
