Description of the cap

Cast on 65 loops and knit with an elastic band 1×1 (1 knit, 1 purl), 3 cm. In the last row, add 10 loops and knit with a pattern of 13-14 cm (depending on the child’s head), I have 13 cm on this hat. 13 cm, we knit the cloves, for this we knit with stockinette stitch (knit stitch on the face, and purl stitch on the wrong side), 6 rows, and make holes in the 7th row (if the cloves need to be more visible, then we knit 1 edge stitch, 2 yarn overs, 2 loops together knit and etc.).

We simply knit the 8th row purlwise. Then we knit 4 more rows and we got 5 rows with the reverse 8th row. Using an additional knitting needle, cast on the same number of loops as on the main knitting needle from the wrong side in the initial row of knitting cloves. And now we knit the 6th purl row with purl loops, 2 loops together (one loop from the main knitting needle, and the other loop from the second knitting needle that raised the loops) and so on until the end until there are 75 loops again. And now we knit like a heel to a toe.

When the hat is ready, cast on 65-62 loops along the bottom edge of the hat and knit with an elastic band of 1x1.3 cm. In the last row, leave 4 loops at the edges for ties and bind off the remaining loops. Knit the ties in a 1×1 pattern, changing stitches every 2nd row. Purl over the knits, knit over the purls. Up to the length you need the strings. The hat is ready. Of course, you first need to remove all the extra threads from the wrong side.

The arrival of a child in a family is a very important moment. It is clear that every parent wants the best for their baby. Some people buy goods abroad because they think they are of better quality.

Others strive to purchase domestically produced goods because they are made from natural fabrics. But the best can only be made with your own hands.

If knitting a suit for the winter is a rather difficult task, then making a cap for a newborn with knitting needles is quite simple.

What are knitted caps for newborns

Now on the market there are a huge number of offers of hats for babies. But all of them are not made from 100% wool, and besides, the models are made in such a way that the hats often slide down over the baby’s eyes or, vice versa, onto the back of the head. As practice shows: there is nothing better than knitting caps for newborns. Only a self-made model can claim the title of the most comfortable and warm thing, because it is made with love.

Where to start knitting a cap for newborns

First of all, you need to decide on the model. Depending on the skills of the craftswoman, you can choose patterns for knitting hats from parts or as a whole fabric. Next you need to decide on the size. As a rule, children are born with a head circumference of 35-42 cm. When starting work, you should pay attention to these parameters.

Knitting caps is quite an exciting activity and not at all labor-intensive. To complete the model you will need: knitting needles and thread. It is best to take knitting needles No. 3. If you do not have knitting needles, then it is worth purchasing these products from Addy or Knit Pro. When choosing a thread, you need to pay attention to the season for which you need to knit the cap. For winter, you can take woolen threads with angora; for spring, use cotton threads.

How to knit caps

1. Do you need a diagram or not?

2. Cast on stitches and start knitting

3. Main fabric of the cap

4. Fastening and decorating the product

Next, we will look at the easiest way to make caps for newborns using knitting needles. The cap will be knitted from two types of wool thread, without separate knitting of the elements. You can knit such a hat with or without a pattern in one evening. This type of product is quite easy to make without a diagram.

Learning to knit a cap

In order to knit a cap, as in any other knitting, you should cast on the required number of loops. Knitting a baby cap with knitting needles requires a cast on of 79 stitches. The next two rows are knitted in the same color using the ribbed method. At this stage, add another colored thread and knit three rows with an elastic band. Then we move on to the main thread and knit three more rows of the product. We have the base of our future product.

Now we move on to knitting the main fabric. Take another thread of a different color and knit three rows using the “wrong side” technique. Remove the second thread and knit another row in the same way. Next comes three rows with the main thread, but using the “facing stitch” method. This pattern should be repeated until the cap reaches the required length. Now we divide the resulting fabric into three equal parts and knit the back of the head to the middle one. We knit 25 loops. After this, the product is turned over to the other side and another 25 loops are knitted. The back of the head is knitted until it reaches the same level as the side parts.

Connecting all the parts

Once all the parts are connected, they should be connected according to the diagram. This can be done in a simple way - knitting from the wrong side. We close the remaining loops in any convenient way. Strings for a hat can be made using a hook. To do this, cast on 55 loops and knit two rows with single crochets. The resulting laces should be sewn to the hat. It is best to decorate the product with a rose. Making a flower is very simple and does not require a pattern. To do this, cast on 40 loops and knit six rows. You should tighten the thread so that it curls into a rope.

We put the loose loops on a thick needle and thread and twist the rose. We secure the flower with a needle. You can sew the resulting decoration with the same thread. Separately, it is worth mentioning that you will not get a bouquet of identical roses. Roses made this way always turn out different. To make leaves, knit 10 stitches in stockinette stitch and add two stitches in each row.

Decorating the cap

In order to diversify your baby's wardrobe, you can make several hats of different colors. If you have threads of other colors, you can decorate the hat with knitted ladybugs, grass with flowers, fringe and wool balls. The hat can be several colors or include all the colors of the rainbow.

It’s also worth mentioning that knitting hats yourself is very profitable. When your baby grows up, you can always take knitted caps for newborns with knitting needles and tie up a few rows or completely unravel the product and make something new.

Even before the baby arrives, many mothers begin to think about a dowry and try their hand at knitting. Of course, booties, socks, envelopes and other things can be purchased in the store, but every woman wants unique things for her child - hand-knitted by mother, during the manufacturing process of which each loop was made with love and special warmth.

The skin of a small child is different from that of an adult - it is very delicate, easily damaged and irritated. Among other things, the baby’s natural defenses are not so well developed, which means that the dyes used in the manufacture of yarn can cause an allergic reaction in the child.

That is why manufacturers offer a special line of children's yarn that is not so dangerous for the baby.

When choosing the main material for knitting, you should pay attention to hypoallergenicity, naturalness and softness.

Dyes, as already mentioned, are allergens, which is why very saturated colors should be avoided; moreover, such yarn will fade. It is better to choose a product from a proven brand - “Alize”, “Pekhorka”, etc.

As a rule, these manufacturers add acrylic or microfiber to wool to achieve softness - everyone knows that natural fiber is unpleasantly itchy. The composition of the yarn may vary, if domestic manufacturers more often offer half-wool (merino six in the composition reaches 50%), then a thread from an Italian company may contain only 20% synthetic fiber (for example, the Lana Baby Merinos brand).

If you have any doubts about whether your child will enjoy wearing a product made from the material you are planning to buy, you can do a simple test: just pass a skein over your lips and think about your feelings.

Synthetic and cotton threads are also popular. The first ones, produced using the latest technology, do not “creak” and, despite the lower price, look good. In addition, this material retains heat well and also absorbs sweat and products from the sebaceous glands.

Choose buttons and other decorations that are large and bright so that the child cannot swallow them if they come off. Recently, “stickers” have become popular - stickers on clothes, as well as adhesive embroidery, but such decorations do not stick to wool in the best way.

Knitting description:

Cast on 60 loops.
Knit with an elastic band (one by one) 2-3 cm, that is, 8-10 rows.
Work in stockinette stitch for 30-32 rows, approximately 12 cm from the elastic.
Divide the knitting into three equal parts, 20 loops each for the sides and back of the head.
After dividing, knit the front row to the black paperclip, ignoring the red one, after the paperclip, knit two loops into one.
Knit the next purl row to the red paper clip, repeat the technique of two loops in one after the paper clip. Take out the markers.
Thus, gaps have formed in the canvas, which are necessary in order to navigate when decreasing the loops.
Continue knitting, gradually decreasing the sides. There are always 20 loops left in the middle part. After 12 loops remain on the sides, also begin to reduce 6 loops evenly at the back of the head.
There should not be a single loop left on the sides, and 8 pcs in the middle. The cap is formed.
Using a working thread, we make purl loops from the edge loops of the sidewalls.
Next, we make a pattern with an elastic band, knitting the edge loops of the second sidewall.
Knit with an elastic band of 2.5 cm.
Leave three loops for knitting ties. Ropes can be made using stockinette stitch, garter stitch, or tube stitch.
Hide the threads, steam the cap and pull it onto a roller or jar.

For the toe and heel we cast on three loops, on the sides - 25 (12 and 13). Knit a row in satin stitch.
Next, fill 3.5 cm with an English elastic band.
Redistribute the knitting: leave one stitch on the toe, 12 to the left and right of it on the sides, distribute the rest onto two knitting needles.
Perform 4 rows in a circle, starting the pattern on the fifth.
Proceed to the toe of the bootie. Follow the pattern according to the diagram, in the end there will only be 5 loops left.
Knit in satin stitch. Knit 10 scars of shawl fabric - you get a strap.
Sew on the strap to make a loop.
Proceed to the back of the booties, tie another thread, knit two hems, add 15 loops.
Knit 2 ribs in garter stitch, make a loop for a button at the end of the strap - yarn over three loops before the edge and knit two into one. Make a strap according to the width of the loop.
Thread on a strap, sew on a button and add embellishments.

Multi-colored booties

Size: 0-6 months.

You will need:

yarn dyed in different colors, Trinity or Alize;
knitting needles No. 3.

Let's consider the knitting process.

The main pattern is shawl. Cast on 8 loops.
Start with face knitting
Make increases. To do this, in the third row, pick up the edge stitch on the knitting needle.
We make an additional loop: we insert the knitting needle into the base.
Pull the thread through to create an additional loop.
Continue according to the drawing.
Knit, leaving two loops. Make increments according to the pattern in columns 3 and 5 to make 12.
Just like at the beginning, add a loop at the end of the row.
We knit 32 rows according to the pattern, proceed to decreases: in the 33rd and 35th, make two loops into one.
There should be 8 loops on the knitting needle.
Close the sole. Remove the edge.

Insert the left edge needle into the edge.
We stretch one loop into another.

Tighten the knots without cutting the threads.

Main part:

Let's knit another column, leaving the last 7 stitches untouched.
We knit 6 loops, transfer the 7th to an additional knitting needle.
It turns out 6 on the right needle, 19 on the left.
Knit two loops on the left side and leave one on the right so that you get 7 loops again.

Knit also: remove the edge, 5 knits according to the pattern, 7 - remove to the additional one, and then to the adjacent one.
Repeat the same technique - knit the first two loops in one purl.
Turn the knitting again, continue knitting, also transferring the last loop, and then knit the first two so that there are always 7 loops left in the middle.
Knit the sock so that there are 7 loops left on each side.
Knit 14 columns of garter stitch without joining at the indicated location.
Cast off the 14th row without cutting the thread.
Make a fastener by making 10 loops in the edges. The first and second rows of fasteners should be knitted, the third row should be knitted, yarn over, two together, knitted, yarn over, two rows together, edged, the fourth and fifth rows will be like the first and second, the seventh row will be closed.
Break the thread and tie the ends, sew on buttons and decorations. Knit the second bootie in the same way, but make the clasp on the other side.

How to knit a beautiful jumpsuit for a baby

Size: for newborns up to 6 months.

You will need:

yarn with a wool content of less than 30%, children's acrylic, cotton, viscose - 250 g;
knitting needles - circular No. 3, hosiery knitting needles No. 3, for cuffs - No. 2;
hook for tying No. 2;
thin lightning.

Knitting pattern with step-by-step description and photo:

The number of loops is calculated from the knitting density (1 * 1 cm) and neck circumference, that is, by multiplying the number of loops in one square cm by the length of the neck measurement + 2 cm.
For wool, it will be enough to cast on 68 stitches using a cross cast-on.
Let's move on to the main canvas. Knit the first row in purl stitch, then distribute the stitches on the raglan according to the pattern: 11 stitches for the fronts, 9 for the raglan sleeves, 20 for the back and 8 for the raglans themselves.
Raglan stripes are knitted purlwise, while the first row - loops are made according to the pattern, but from the wrong side (11 purl, 2 knit, etc. according to the pattern). In the first front row you need to knit short along the sleeves and back.
Make additions before and after raglans in every second row. Increases are made by knitting 3 stitches from one (knit, yarn over, knit).
Thus, 8 loops are added to each front row.
The total length of the raglan is about 13-15 cm, depending on the build and height of the child. The figure shows that 6 increases were made.
There were 23 loops on the fronts, 33 on the sleeves, 44 on the back, and 8 raglan lines. After finishing the canvas, you need to shift
Next, “undercuts” are made, that is, air loops are reached between the shelf and the back. That is, after knitting the raglan lines, add 4 chain lines, skip the sleeves, moving to the second raglan line and knit the back, another raglan line, add 4 chain lines. There should be 106 stitches on circular loops. You can knit without picking up the loops, then the last raglan loops go to the adjacent part.
Knitting continues in satin stitch without adding anything.
Continue stitching to the beginning of the legs, taking the child’s measurements (measurement + 3 cm). For a product with a height of 68-74 cm: the length of the overalls for this height is about 56 cm; the length of the inner surface of the trouser leg is about 20-22 cm, so the height of the overalls to the cut of the pants is 35 cm; it is necessary to make minimal recesses for the zipper (1 cm each).
We knit 33 cm in a straight line.
Add air loops to the sides of the front row.
Four more rows in stockinette stitch, attach a paperclip or marker to the middle.
Let's move on to the gusset. To do this, start the first row from the mark with one decrease at the beginning and end of the leg, knit the front row, then the purl row. In the third row, make two increases of 2 stitches each after the edge stitch and before the marker, the fourth - according to the drawing. In the fifth there are four times 2.
Knit the 6th according to the pattern. It will look like this:
On the seventh - bind off 4 loops. The resulting triangle forms a gusset.
Divide the product into two parts according to the attached marker, then turn the knitting and start knitting the legs separately, taking the two outer loops crosswise to prevent the work from being pulled out.
On the eighth row, bind off four loops again, on the ninth, knit the first two into one, also on the tenth.
The trouser legs can be made on five knitting needles or circular so that there is no seam, they can be knitted with a slit and then sewn. You can make narrow and straight wide pants. For an even bevel, decrease in even rows. For straight lines, perform decreases directly in front of the cuff.
An approximate version of knitting a trouser leg: 30 rows of satin stitch, decrease four stitches (two from the edges), switch to stocking needles, then make another decrease, distribute 11 stitches on four knitting needles, make 11 more circular ones, then with an elastic band.
Knit another trouser leg, extend the seam to the recess for the zipper.
Sew the connection area.
View between the legs.
legs:
Type of gusset.
Proceed to knitting the hood. To do this, reduce the initial number of loops - 68 - to 61, make a 1 * 1 elastic band, in the second and third rows of which you can make holes using yarn overs and two-in-one knitting. In the fourth and fifth stitches, bind off the first 5 stitches, and do the rest in satin stitch, as in the photo.
Make two rows of satin stitch, in the third and fourth knit shortened 9 loops on the sides: edge, 8 knit, remove 1 loop without knitting, yarn over, the rest - purl. In the next row: knit the edge, knit and auxiliary yarn overs together with a loop, do the same on the wrong side. Perform 6 more lifts of the satin stitch, repeating the shortened knitting.
The surface should be 17 cm.
Divide the knitting into sides and back. Reduce the sides and make the hood according to the heel-to-toe principle. The height of the hood should be 22 cm.
Tie the hood, cast on 94 loops along the edges.
Work an elastic band 5 cm thick 1*1, finish by closing the knitting.
Fold the binding in half inward.
Sew the folded strip to the edge of the edge loops of the base.
Connect to the recess.
The result is a drawstring through which you can later pass the lace.

Proceed to the sleeves. Take 6 stitches to the undercut.
To make the sleeve look better, you should decrease two stitches at the very beginning.
Before knitting the cuff, reduce 3 loops, make the cuffs with an elastic band 1*1, 12 circles. The last three are done in full double knitting and closed by machine.
The workpiece is finished.

Take a hook and tie a connecting post, two air ones, repeat along the entire zipper slot.
Knit three more air ones and a small square, which is sewn over the ends of the zipper so that it does not irritate the skin of the child’s neck.
For ties, you can choose a lace in the color of the yarn. You can also crochet 50-75 cm, which is tucked into the drawstring.
Subject the overalls to heat treatment.
Finished the strapping. There are ties left - crochet 60-70 cm long, put through the drawstring.

Using the presented patterns, you can easily knit things for your baby, proceeding step by step. Using multi-colored yarn and decorations, you can create a truly unique item.

And another small master class on knitting a hat for a baby is in the next video.

A beautiful cap is the most comfortable form of cap for newborns, which fits tightly on the head, does not slip and covers the ears well. It is the cap, along with booties and an envelope, that make up the baby’s first toilet, which is prepared for discharge. according to the list for the maternity hospital. For beginners, knitting a cap for a newborn is not at all difficult, and our step-by-step advice with detailed diagrams and descriptions will help you in this noble task.

Preparing to knit a cap

An important step is preparing to start knitting a cap. This is where the yarn is selected, the number of stitches is calculated and the sample is knitted. The speed of work, the number of errors, and the final result will depend on how carefully the creator approaches the preparation.

For an ideal fit of the cap, you must first take a measurement from the baby - head circumference. To do this, apply a centimeter in a circle along the line of the eyebrows to the back of the head. Then a 10*10 cm sample is knitted from the selected yarn and, by counting the number of loops and rows in 10 cm, the number of loops required for the work is calculated.

Cap size chart for newborns

Age (months)	Height (cm)	Head circumference (cm)
0	50-54	36
3	56-62	40
6	62-68	44
9	68-74	46
12	74-80	47

If you are not sure that the cap will be ready for the baby's birth, you can rely on the average data in the table to choose the right size. In this case, it is better to knit with a small margin. Newborns grow very quickly, and within a few weeks the large hat will fit.

There are several types of caps that are knitted according to different patterns.

Seamless. The easiest way, everything is knitted in one piece without assembly. Well suited for the smallest children - from 0 to 3 months, as there are absolutely no seams;
T-shaped. The cap is knitted in one piece, which is shaped like the letter T. The knitted fabric will need to be gathered with the seams facing outwards;
The cap is made of two parts - a round occipital strip and a long base strip. Based on these patterns, you can knit an infinite number of variations of caps, using different patterns and decorations. The master class, which describes all the nuances of the work, will help you understand the step-by-step process of work.

We knit a summer openwork cap for a newborn with knitting needles

For a summer cap, use any fine knitting patterns. Here is a diagram of a simple openwork pattern:

Legend:

Knit stitch on a knit row or purl on a purl row.

If you knit a cap with ruffles and use pink yarn, you will get an elegant openwork one for a girl. Knitted from blue threads will be an excellent new thing for a boy. A white cap and other neutral colors will suit a baby of any gender.

The cap does not have to be knitted openwork. If you use thin cotton or bamboo yarn, you can knit a hat using stockinette stitch, adding ruffles around the face if desired.

And by choosing a warmer yarn, such as mohair, and an openwork knit, you can knit a bonnet for a cool summer evening or rainy weather. You just need to put it on a regular fabric cap so that the yarn doesn’t prick your baby’s scalp.

Having chosen the yarn, knit a sample and calculate the number of loops to work with. To do this, you can use a special formula and cap pattern:

As you can see from the pattern, this is a T-shaped bonnet, which means it will need to be assembled. The seams can be easily decorated with lace or crocheted ruffles. Section AB is the front edge of the cap that fits around the face. Its length is calculated by the formula:

AB = 1.5*Sgol+Pr, where Sgol is half the circumference of the head, and Pr is an allowance of 6 cm.

And the last step is to calculate the width of the occipital part (segment DS): DS = 0.5*Sgol All results are rounded to a whole number. To find out the number of loops in each segment, you need to multiply its width by the horizontal density (the number of loops in 1 cm). Do not be intimidated by the abundance of formulas and the complexity of the preparatory stage. In practice, everything will be much simpler, and careful preparation will eliminate the need to unravel and bandage the work.

Process description:

On the knitting needles that fit the yarn, cast on the calculated number of loops (for segment AB) and knit a bar. You can use elastic or garter stitch. The width of the bar is approximately 2 cm, but it can be increased or decreased as desired.
Taking knitting needles half a size larger, move on to the main pattern and knit 9.5 cm.
All loops are divided into three parts, leaving loops for the DS segment in the center.
The side loops are closed, continuing to knit the back of the cap in stockinette stitch to the desired length (about 12 cm). Decrease 1 stitch in every second row.
In the last row, all loops are closed.
The cap is sewn with the seams facing out and decorated with ruffles or ribbons.

To make the hat look neater, the lower part can also be decorated with a garter stitch strip. To do this, lift the edge loops onto the knitting needles and knit 1.5-2 cm. Ribbons, laces, twisted yarn or crocheted chains of air loops can be used as ties. Or you can make ties with a common fabric with the bottom bar:

How to knit a warm cap for a newborn

In winter, a warm cap will not only become a beautiful accessory, but will also warm the newborn. They can be knitted using either regular paired or circular knitting needles. The easiest way is to start knitting such a cap using seamless technology, using regular stockinette stitch. This hat can be knitted in just one evening, even for a beginner.

For knitting you will need warm yarn, preferably children's acrylic. The calculation of loops in this case is carried out using the same formulas. For example, the calculations produced a result of 58 (+2 edge) stitches for needles No. 3. Having collected them on the knitting needles, knit a small strip with an elastic band (about 2 cm), and then begin to knit with stockinette stitch or any pattern you like for about another 10 cm.

After this, all working loops are divided into three parts, each of which will have 20 loops. The first two thirds are knitted, and the last loop of the back part is knitted together with the next one. After this, the knitting is turned over and knitted on the wrong side in the same way: first 19 loops according to the pattern, the next two - together on the wrong side. The knitting is turned to the front side again and the side loops continue to decrease until there are 12 of them left on each side.

From this moment you need to start narrowing the central, occipital part of the cap, decreasing one loop in each row. At the same time, they continue to knit the loops of the side parts together, narrowing the cap.

When 8 loops of the back part remain, they are closed in any convenient way and the thread is secured with a knot. To make the cap more neat, it is tied around the edge with several rows of elastic or garter stitch. You can crochet the placket and make cute ruffles.

Double knitted cap “Spikelets”

To make the hat even warmer for a newborn, you can double knit it. This cap takes a little longer to knit, but the result will please you.

For knitting you will need:

yarn 50% wool, 50% acrylic, 100g/380 m (for example, Brilliant Vita) bright pink;
knitting needles No. 2.5;
pattern diagram;
baby's measurements.

The first time the pattern is knitted from rows 1 to 8, and then repeated from rows 5 to 8. The calculation of loops for knitting is carried out according to the formulas presented earlier. The upper part of the cap is knitted in two threads, and the inner part in one, this will allow them to “fold” into one cap.

To begin with, knit an elastic band. You can use a double elastic band or simply knit it twice as wide as needed and then fold it in half. In the second option, you can rely on the following scheme:

Then start knitting the pattern. Having knitted the parts to the required width, the loops are also divided into three parts and begin to form a cap according to the principle of seamless knitting described above. It is better to knit the back part without a pattern, simply following the pattern of the loops. You will get a 3*2 elastic band (3 knits, 2 purls).

To knit the second part of the cap with knitting needles, lift the loops from the inner edge of the elastic and knit with a 3*2 elastic band according to the same principle. After this, the cap can be decorated with crocheted lace ruffles.

All that remains is to connect the inner and upper parts of the cap. To do this, pick up loops along the edge, grabbing both parts of the cap, and knit an elastic band in two threads with knitting needles.

It is better to close the edges with a needle. Don't forget to attach or tie ties for your bonnet!

Decorations for knitted caps

A cap for every day can be simple and without unnecessary decorations for a newborn. But if you need an elegant knitted hat for going out, the possibilities for decorating it are simply endless - from any kind of ruffles, ribbons, lace to completely unusual elements.
