2. USEFUL TIPS FOR BEGINNER KNITTERS. PREPARATION FOR CROCHETING CHILDREN'S PANAMAS

10 tips:

If you are crocheting for the first time, then choose a plain light yarn. Melange threads consisting of several different colors are not the most the best option for a beginner knitter, since the loops are not very clearly visible while working.

Before you buy the yarn you like for knitting hats for children, be sure to study the composition of the yarn. It is not advisable to buy fleecy angora, mohair, threads with lurex, or polyamide for knitting children's clothes. The less synthetics in the yarn, the more suitable it is for knitting clothes for children. Composition of yarn for summer children's hats may include cotton, high-quality acrylic and viscose, silk (for warm hats- alpaca wool or merino wool). To knit children's panama hats for the summer, you can choose yarn consisting of 55-60% cotton plus a little acrylic and silk viscose (to improve wearability knitted product and safe washing).

When choosing yarn for crocheting, be sure to pay attention to how the thread is twisted. On sale you can find yarn consisting of poorly twisted 3-4 threads. It is very difficult to knit with such threads, since during work individual threads get caught and you need to constantly control each hook with a hook.

Choosing a suitable crochet hook. It is best to use a metal hook with a plastic handle. It is important to choose the correct hook number (which corresponds to the thickness of the tool). The upper part of the hook should not be too rounded (since it is difficult to pierce the knitting fabric with such a hook), and also not too sharp so as not to injure your fingers. During operation, the hook is held in the same way as the handle and the upper part of the tool is directed towards you.

While working, the end of the thread must be thrown over forefinger on your left hand (if the hook is in your right) towards you and hold thumb. The loops on the hook can be held with the middle finger of your right hand

Be sure to knit a sample of the future product before starting work. Knit the fabric in the form of a small rectangle. You can wash, steam the sample, and let it dry. This way you can more accurately select the size of a hat for your child. , taking into account the density of the knitting.

In the process of knitting panama hats and many other hats, the napkin principle is used. At the very beginning of the work, you can make a self-tightening ring or a ring of air loops (if you want there to be a hole at the top of the headdress).

You can wind the end of the thread around your finger several turns and knit 6-8 single crochets, inserting the hook into the resulting loop. All you have to do is pull the thread a little and it will tighten. After this, you can continue knitting according to the pattern of any napkin (for example, with a fillet mesh). In order to accurately select the size of the bottom of a Panama hat, you can measure the circumference of the child’s head and divide the result by 3.14. The diameter of the flat part of the headdress is approximately 16-21 cm.

Start gradually reducing the increases after the edges of the future panama hat begin to bend. Knit a few more rows and do not add any more loops, forming the depth of the children's Panama hat

If you do not plan to knit the fabric, forming fields, then you can knit several columns in a circle (taking, for example, yarn of a different color - more contrasting).
If the Panama hat model includes brims (especially important for protecting very young children from the sun), then continue knitting the fabric, adding loops to the desired width.

If you want to make a visor instead of a continuous brim of a Panama hat, then knit single crochets so that it is denser and holds its shape. Closing the loops is done gradually from the edges to the center, and not simultaneously.

Crocheted bucket hats for children will look especially stylish and modern if you decorate them with thermal appliqué, embroider several figures on the top of the hats, or sew crocheted flowers to the brim (models for girls).

crochet knitted hats

In summer, sun protection is extremely important for babies. One of the most common means of avoiding sunstroke is a Panama hat for girls (crocheted). Many craftswomen prefer to make it themselves in order to best satisfy their needs for protection and beauty. appearance babies.

The principle of creating a panama hat

Beautiful panama hats (crocheted) for girls with patterns are often found in needlework magazines and on forums. But it’s not at all necessary to look for diagrams on the Internet. You can create this headdress without them, knowing the basic principles of working with such a product.

The basis for a Panama hat is a regular hat. It knits easily. First we make the bottom of the headdress, which should be as flat as possible. Then, without expansion, we knit the main part of the hat. When the desired depth is reached, we begin knitting the fields.

To do this, it is necessary to add loops in each row so that the fabric becomes as flat as possible. But there is no need to knit brims that are too wide, otherwise they will fall into the eyes and disturb the child. This is how you get the simplest crochet hat for a girl. The diagram and description of work for such a product are understandable even to the most novice craftswoman. The main thing is to choose beautiful pattern, which will satisfy the requirements set for the product.

Scheme for correct field expansion

Beginning craftswomen do not always understand how to crochet a Panama hat for a girl. And all because it is not always possible to beautifully expand the brim of a headdress. They turn out either too tight, or, conversely, very wavy and ugly.

All this is solved thanks to a clear expansion pattern of the canvas. The option presented in the figure shows the principle of working with double crochets. This is the most common way to create brims for hats.

To add several new columns after the same period of time, we knit 2 columns at one point. In the next row we will add loops like this: the top for two columns will be the outermost column of the two added earlier. So we continue to knit in each row.

This method will help not only to add loops evenly, but also to form beautiful drawing, which will be obtained from additional columns. This is how the crochet hat for a girl is shaped at the bottom. This scheme may be slightly changed, but the principle always remains the same.

Openwork Panama hat

As we said earlier, a crocheted Panama hat for a girl is made on the basis of an ordinary hat. We also figured out how to knit fields. Therefore, let’s look at a specific example of an openwork headdress for the summer for a girl of any age.

The pattern is based on modified fans made from single crochet stitches.

We start knitting from a chain of 5 loops, on the basis of which 14 double crochets and 1 rise chain are knitted. The second row consists of 14 double crochets and chains of 7 chain stitches and a lifting chain.

In the third row we are already starting to form the main pattern of the pattern. It is built on the basis of alternating double crochets and chains. The pattern shows that over time it is necessary to increase the number of columns. In practice, this may not be practical, since the vertical part of a Panama hat rarely requires expansion. This point must be taken into account during the work process.

Thick panama hat made of lush columns

A crocheted Panama hat for a girl does not have to be openwork. The diagram and description of the next model will show that even a thick headdress can be beautiful and practical if knitted correctly.

The diagram also shows only the upper part without margins. But we already know how to make them ourselves.

First, let's figure out how to knit a lush column. It is performed without crochet. We knit one loop as for a regular stitch. Then, without doing anything else with it, we knit a few more of the same loops. After the required number has been made, we knit all the loops on the hook together. As a result, we get 1 lush column.

The diagram shows in what order to knit the stitches and where to add the number of loops. The sticks in the ovals indicate the number of loops in one column. It is worth noting that the outer boundaries of the ovals are also considered. That is, if we have an oval with one stick, then we knit three loops for a fluffy column.

Decorating the product

Any crocheted Panama hat for a girl should be not only practical, but also beautiful. For this you can use different ways decoration. The simplest of them is to tuck a ribbon into the base of the cap to create a beautiful bow with it. In addition, this will help to adjust the volume of the panama hat so that it fits securely on your head.

Various flowers crocheted and sewn as an applique to a headdress also look beautiful. And so that the brim of the Panama hat does not interfere with the child’s eyes, they can be raised up and sewn either on the side or in the front.

Please! Glad to be of service.

In summer, everyone needs a hat - both children and adults. Lightweight openwork hat will not only protect your head from the merciless rays of the sun on a hot day, but will also add an elegant zest to the summer look of a girl, girl, woman! Original hat, crocheted a beloved mother or grandmother, it will also appeal to mischievous boys who prefer to spend most of the day outside.
