Women's knitted hat. Pattern with description for beginners. New models 2024

Knitted accessories: hats, scarves, mittens are very popular among both adults and very little ones. Each hand-made product is unique and inimitable.

To knit a beautiful women's hat with your own hands, you will need not only a knitting pattern and step-by-step instructions with a description of the process, but also:

• natural wool yarn with added acrylic;
• large diameter knitting needles;
• selected interesting patterns.

Selecting materials for knitting a hat

Before you start making a knitted women's hat with knitting needles, it is recommended to decide on the style, select a description of the model and correctly select all the material that will be needed to knit a warm accessory. Recommendations for selecting material.

Selecting yarn

There are 3 types of yarn:

• 100% natural (cotton, wool, etc.);
• blended yarn (most often such yarns contain 50% natural fibers and 50% synthetic fibers, such as acrylic, viscose, etc.);
• synthetic yarn, which contains 100% non-natural fibers.

When knitting a hat with knitting needles, it is recommended to use blended yarn, as it is more resistant to external influences (it shrinks less when washed and does not pill) and is softer and more pleasant to the touch.

It is important to consider what time of year the hat will decorate and warm its owner:

• for lighter and summer options, it is better to choose thin yarn with the addition of cotton or linen threads;
• For winter cold you will need bulky yarn with added wool.

To make warm hats, you will also need a lining fabric, such as fleece, which will also help keep the hat's shape.

Selecting spokes

Knitting needles are made from a variety of materials: plastic, metal, bamboo. They come in three types: straight needles with a stopper on one end, circular needles connected to each other, for example, with a fishing line or wire, stocking needles - a set of five needles.

The size of the knitting needles depends on the thickness of the thread and the density of the knitting. It is recommended to take them twice as thick as the thread used, if the knitting is loose, then it is necessary to use smaller knitting needles, with tight knitting - larger. The characteristics of the yarn are indicated on the labels, where the length of the skein and its weight are written. The smaller the footage of yarn in the skein per hundred grams of its weight, the thicker the thread.

If using circular needles, you will need a knitting marker and a needle or crochet hook to sew the fabric of the hat together when knitting on straight needles.

When knitting a women's hat, beginners are advised to use straight knitting needles with stoppers at the ends.

Selection of knitting patterns for hats

If desired, any novice master will get a knitted women's hat with knitting needles. With a description, this process will be easier and faster. There are a large number of different patterns for knitting women's hats, both the simplest and the most complex. Knitting hats starts from the bottom up, mainly with a simple 1x1 or 2x2 elastic band.

Experienced craftsmen advise knitting a 2x2 elastic, that is, repeating two front and two back loops until the end of the row. The row begins and ends with the so-called edge loop: the first loop is not knitted, it is simply thrown from one knitting needle to another, and the last one is always knitted back.

This is done so that the edges of the fabric do not stretch when knitting. The second and subsequent rows are knitted similarly to the first. The number of rows of elastic depends on its height, at the discretion of the master it can be either one or five cm. Basically, the elastic is needed to give a more beautiful look to the hat and a tighter fit to the head.

After knitting the elastic band, without breaking the thread, you need to move on to the selected pattern, you can continue knitting the entire hat with such an elastic band. More experienced needlewomen recommend that beginners use simpler knitting patterns for hats with knitting needles.

These include:

• Garter stitch. This method got its name due to the fact that it was used when knitting downy shawls. There are two types of garter stitch: front, in which only front loops are knitted, and back - only back loops. Such patterns are used for regular knitting on straight needles. The method of knitting hats on circular needles is distinguished by alternating front and back rows. The place of transition from one row to another should be chosen in a less noticeable place, for example, at the back or on the side, as it will be slightly noticeable.
• Front or back stitch - when knitting with regular turning rows, the 1st row and all odd rows are knitted only with front loops, the 2nd and all even rows - with back loops; when knitting with circular needles, either only front loops or only back loops are always knitted.
• Relief drawings - for example, the so-called "rice". Alternating purl and face loops 1×1 is performed so that in the second row, a purl is knitted over the face loop of the first row, and a face loop is knitted over the purl. Then the first two rows are repeated to the height required by the master.
• Various braids. This pattern is more recommended for experienced craftsmen, but if desired, a beginner craftsman can also cope. When knitting a women's hat with knitting needles according to the "braid" pattern with a description, an additional third knitting needle will be required.

Taking head measurements for knitting a hat

Before starting knitting, the master needs to take measurements from the head of the person to whom the hat will belong.

First measure – head circumference, this is the main size of the future hat. This measurement is taken around the head: on the forehead at the level of the eyebrow line and on the protruding occipital part at the back.

It is recommended to consider what kind of hat it will be, how tightly it will fit the owner's head and the thickness of the threads. When knitting from very thick yarn, it is recommended to make an allowance for its volume.

Second measure – this is the depth of the hat. It is also taken from the eyebrow line to the line where the hair ends at the back of the head, then this size must be divided in half. When taking the second measurement, it is also necessary to take into account the features of the future hat.

After taking measurements, you need to determine the number of loops needed to knit the hat.

For this, experienced knitters recommend knitting a small sample. For a more accurate result, it should be washed and dried, since most hand-knitted items may become deformed after washing. Then measure the sample with a ruler. Based on the result, calculate how many loops are needed for the entire headdress.

Choosing a knitting technique

More experienced knitters advise beginners to knit their first hat on straight needles, in one piece, then sew it along the narrow edge. Knitting can be started from the bottom up, or vice versa, from the top down. There are also techniques for knitting hats on circular and stocking needles in a circle in closed rows. With this method of knitting, there will be no seam.

Experienced needlewomen knit more complex hats by constructing patterns.

Instructions for knitting simple women's hats for beginners

Any woman who wants to can knit a hat for herself or her loved ones with knitting needles, having a pattern with a description at hand, since modern fashion allows you to wear the simplest and most ordinary hats, made with simple designs.

Simple knitted hat for beginners

To create a simple women's hat with your own hands, you will need a skein of 100 g yarn with a composition of 50/50 wool, acrylic (the length of the thread in the skein is 240 m), straight knitting needles of size 4.5, a sewing needle with a large eye. The hat will be knitted with a simple 2x2 elastic. To determine the number of loops that need to be dialed, it is recommended to knit a trial sample.

The length of the knitted fabric will correspond to the head circumference minus 4 cm, and the height - to the depth of the hat. Upon reaching the desired size, you need to take a sewing needle with a thread and remove all the loops from the knitting needle onto this thread, pull all the loops together, thus creating the crown of the hat. Then it remains only to sew the edges of the hat. The knitted hat is ready.

Voluminous women's hat with braids knitting needles for beginners

A voluminous knitted women's hat with knitting needles with a description according to the "Braid" pattern will appeal to beginner craftsmen. They will be able to knit it, having studied in detail the recommendations for its creation. For a hat with braids, you will need two skeins of thick yarn, circular knitting needles No. 3.5 and No. 4.5.

On circular needles size 3.5 you will need to cast on a number of loops, the number of which will be a multiple of 12, plus one additional loop. It is needed to close the knitting in a circle. To beautifully connect the knitting in a circle, transfer the first loop from the left needle to the right one, then through this loop from the right needle drop the last loop and return the first loop removed from the left needle back.

It is recommended to start knitting the hat with a simple 2×2 elastic band, which is recommended to be done to a height of 5 - 7 cm. In the last row, you need to switch to knitting needles No. 4.5. Go to knitting the headdress according to the main pattern: knit 2 purl loops, 6 front loops, 2 purl and 2 front loops, perform along the row. Repeat the pattern for another 6 - 8 rows.

Proceed to forming the "braid". Throughout the entire row, alternate the combination of loops: 2 purl, remove the next 3 front loops onto an additional knitting needle or pin, knit the other 3, then knit 3 loops from the third knitting needle, then 2 front loops and 2 purl loops.

The pattern should be completed to a height of 12 cm, then proceed to decreasing the loops. The first row should be decreased every 3rd loop, the second row is knitted without decreases, the third - decrease every second loop of the row, the next row - without decreases, at the end tighten all the remaining loops, threading a sewing needle and thread through them.

You can decorate such a hat with a ready-made fur pompom or make one yourself from threads.

To do this, you will need yarn of the same color as the hat or a contrasting color, scissors, a sewing needle, and two cardboard blanks. It is better to take medium-hard cardboard for the blank.

On a piece of cardboard, use a compass to draw a circle with a radius of 1.5 cm, then from the same center for a pompom with a diameter of 10 cm, draw another large circle with a radius of 6.5 cm.

Cut along the contour of the outer diameter and inner hole. Make a cut between the circles 2-3 mm wide. Make the second piece in the same way.

Place two blanks together and pass a thread between them, which will later be used to pull the finished pompom together.

Wrap a thread tightly around the folded pieces so that the hole is reduced by half.

Next, holding the middle of the prepared pompom with your hand, cut the wound threads along the larger diameter of the blank. Tighten the thread that was laid between the two blanks and tie a tight knot so that the threads do not come out of the pompom. Pull out the blanks. The pompom is ready. Sew it to the top of the hat.

Women's hat with knitting needles for beginners. Master class

To make a knitted women's hat you will need a 100 g skein of yarn, 150 - 200 m, 50/50 composition, straight knitting needles size 3, a sewing needle with a large eye.

Description of knitting

The hat model is knitted on two straight knitting needles in turning rows with two types of pattern: 2x2 elastic (two front and two back loops are alternated) and the main pattern (Polish pattern). The latter is done as follows: the edge loop is removed, then the front and back loops are alternated one at a time.

Finish knitting the row with an edge loop. It is always purl. The pattern is offset due to the odd number of loops. Before starting to knit a hat, craftsmen recommend making a sample of the product - the main pattern. Based on the size of the sample, the number of loops required for the entire hat is determined. It must be even for that.

The height of the elastic band of the future hat is 6 – 7 cm.

Having finished knitting the elastic, move on to the main pattern: you need to cast on one or more additional loops on the knitting needles, the main condition: their number must be odd and it will depend on the desire of the master or the one for whom this hat is knitted, to get a tighter or looser model.

Next comes the main pattern. Its height will also depend on the desire to wear a tighter or more voluminous hat. So for a tight hat, it will be enough to knit 10-11 cm of the main pattern, and for a looser one - 16-17 cm of the Polish pattern.

Then the loops are decreased and the crown of the hat is formed. In the first row, every third loop must be decreased, the next row is knitted without changes. The third row - every second loop is decreased, the fourth - without changes. The fifth row is knitted exclusively with front loops, the sixth - with back loops. Pull the remaining loops together, thread. Make a side seam.

The hat is ready. If desired, you can decorate it with a flower, a brooch or beads.

Beret with knitting needles with transverse braid

To create a beret, you will need a skein of yarn weighing 100 g (350 m, 50/50), straight knitting needles number 5 and 6, 1 additional knitting needle for knitting a braid, a sewing needle. The size of the beret can be your favorite, depending on the materials chosen and the length of the knitted transverse "braid". Cast on 20 loops on straight knitting needles number 6. The "braid" is knitted in turning rows. The first row is the front one.

In the 1st row, you need to perform the following alternation: 4 purl loops, 12 front loops and 4 purl. Turn the work over. The 2nd row is the opposite – 4 front loops, 12 purl loops and 4 front loops. Repeat the first two rows once.

From the 5th row – start knitting a three-lane braid. Knit the first 4 purl loops and 3 front loops, transfer the next 3 loops to an additional knitting needle behind the knitting, then knit 3 front loops. Return and knit the 3 removed loops. Transfer the other three loops to an additional knitting needle before knitting.

Knit three more face loops, return to the loops that were thrown over, knit them. The row ends with 4 purl loops. The 6th row is knitted similarly to the 2nd. In the 7th - 10th, repeat the first two rows twice. Repeat the 1st - 10th rows until the desired size of the hat is achieved. Finish knitting, close the loops.

The lower edge of the hat is made as follows:

1. Along one long edge of the strip, cast on loops from the front side using #5 knitting needles; approximately 1 loop is equal to two rows of braid.
2. Knit garter stitch for approximately 6-8 rows.
3. Close the loops.

Upper rim:

1. Cast on loops on #5 knitting needles in the same way as for the lower edge, plus 2 additional ones to give the beret the required volume.
2. Work 7 rows in stockinette stitch.

Proceed to decreasing loops. Continue knitting with the front surface. In the 1st row, knit each 8th and 9th loop into one loop. In the 2nd and further in each even row, do not decrease, all loops are knitted purlwise. In the 3rd row, knit each 7th and 8th loop into one, in the 5th row - each 6th and 7th loop.

Continue decreasing until there are 17 loops left on the knitting needles, which will need to be pulled together with a thread and needle. Hide the remaining end of the thread on the wrong side. Sew the seam. The hat is ready.

Beanie hat (stocking hat)

To create a hat you will need a skein of yarn weighing 100 g (240 m, 50/50 wool/acrylic), straight knitting needles No. 4, a sewing needle. The hat is knitted with transverse turning rows of garter stitch - only front loops. You will need to cast on 50 loops on the knitting needles.

Start knitting:

• In the 1st row, knit all the loops except the last five, turn the knitting over.
• In the 2nd row, knit all the loops as front loops, but purl the last edge loop.
• 3rd row – knit all loops except for the 4 outer loops.
• The 4th and all even rows are knitted similarly to the 2nd.
• In the 5th row, you need to leave 3 loops unknitted, in the 7th, 2 loops remain unknitted, in the 9th, 1 loop, in the 11th, knit all 50 loops.
• Next, repeat rows 1 through 12 until the hat reaches the desired volume.
• Close the loops and sew the hat.

Knitted bonnet hat for women

To knit this hat model, you will need a 100 g skein of yarn (240 m, 50/50 wool/acrylic composition), circular and straight knitting needles No. 4. For size 54 – 56 cm, you will need to cast on 84 loops on straight knitting needles. Start knitting the hat in turning rows with a regular 2×2 elastic.

First row: first edge loop (it is removed without knitting), then a front loop, then alternate 2 purl and 2 front loops to the end of the row, which ends with a purl loop. 2nd row - the first loop is an edge loop, one purl, then alternate 2 front loops, 2 purl loops, finish the row with an edge loop, which is knitted purlwise.

Repeat alternating two rows to the 8th row. 8th row – decrease two loops, knitting into one loop 28 and 29 and loop 56 and 57. From the 9th row, move on to knitting the hat in garter stitch, that is, knit exclusively with face loops. From the 11th row, begin to decrease.

Knitting of a row begins with a front loop, the next 2 front loops are knitted as one, 1 front, 2 front loops into one, the next 70 front loops are knitted without changing, 1 front, 2 front loops into one, finish knitting of the row with a back loop.

The 12th row is knitted without changes. Then the 13th, 15th, 17th and 19th rows are knitted similarly to the 11th, while the number of middle loops will gradually decrease to 60 loops by the 19th row, and the total number of loops will be equal to 64.

From rows 20 to 30, knit without decreasing loops. From row 31, switch to circular knitting with face loops in stockinette stitch. Knit like this for another 8 rows. In row 39, begin to form the crown of the headdress: knit every 7th and 8th loop together. Knit row 40 without changes.

In row 41, knit together every 6th and 7th loop, 42 – without changes, in row 43 – every 5th and 6th, row 44 without changes, in row 45 – every 4th and 5th, row 46 without decreases, in row 47 – every 3rd and 4th loop together, 48 without decreases, in row 49 – every 2nd and 3rd, row 50 without decreases, in row 51 – knit every 2 loops into one, 8 loops remain on the knitting needle.

Tighten the remaining loops. The top and bottom ends of the bonnet can be decorated with pom-poms.

Knitted hat with honeycomb pattern

For a 54 cm hat you will need a 100 g skein (240 m, 50/50 wool/acrylic), #3 circular knitting needles, an additional knitting needle, and a knitting marker. Cast on 96 stitches and 1 additional stitch to close the knitting in a circle.

Start knitting the hat with a simple 2x2 elastic band, in which the front loops must be knitted behind the front wall of the loop, the back loops - behind the back. The height of the elastic band will be 15 rows. At the request of the person for whom the hat is knitted, you can knit more rows. In this case, the hat can be worn with a lapel.

When knitting an elastic band, in its last row it is necessary to increase the loops so that the resulting number of loops is a multiple of 8. To do this, knit two front loops into each first front loop of the elastic band. Start knitting the hat according to the main pattern - all loops will be front. The first two rows must be done with the front surface.

In the 3rd row – the first 2 loops need to be transferred to an additional third knitting needle at the back of the work, knit the 2 loops that follow them, then knit 2 transferred loops. Another 2 loops need to be transferred to an additional knitting needle in front of the work, knit the 2 loops that follow them on the knitting needle and 2 removed loops. The rapport of 8 loops is complete. It must be repeated until the end of the row.

The next 2 rows are knitted with the front surface. The 7th row is knitted similarly to the 3rd, but the first time the loops are removed before the work, and the second time - behind the work. Repeat the rapport until the end of the row. Then repeat from the 1st to the 8th row to the desired height. Go to closing the crown of the knitted women's hat.

For this purpose, it is recommended to use the following description: the first 2 loops are transferred to an additional knitting needle (based on the resulting pattern at the back of the work or in front of the work), the next 2 loops are connected into one, then the removed loops are connected into one. Perform until the end of the row. The next 3 rows are knitted with front loops without decreasing.

In the 5th row of decreases, knit the first 2 loops into one, 1 front, repeat to the end of the row. Then knit 2 rows without changes. Row 8 - knit each first and second loop into one. Pull the thread through the remaining loops on the knitting needle and tighten, hide the end of the thread. Knitting is complete.
