For a beginner, nothing is easier than knitted man's hats

If you learned to perform on the knitting needles only purl and facial loops, decrements and a set of loops, you can already make knitted man's hats. After all, the most common everyday models for men should look strictly and simply.

Step 1: Select the model and materials

From thick yarn knitted man's knitting hats can be performed literally in one evening, but we still recommend taking a thin thread and thin knitting needles. So, you will make a tight and comfortable toe cap - a classic, which is suitable for men of any age. The color of the yarn is selected depending on the color of the outer clothing.

Now on sale there are many varieties of yarn sectional dyeing and melange. Pay attention to the appropriate colors if you want to do the original thing. Moreover, knitting from such yarn is very interesting.

Do not take a thin thread in several additions. If you are a beginner in knitting, it will be much harder to work with.

Step 2: Create a sample

To make the hat fit, it is necessary to make preliminary calculations. Tie the pattern to the pattern you are going to use. Samples should be made for each pattern, in our case - for gum, and for smooth or stocking knitting, if you are going to use it in the model. Knitted man's hats usually sit tightly on the head, so it's important not to make a mistake with the calculations. Make a sample of at least 30 loops wide and 20 rows high.

Measure the finished sample and find the average number of loops in one centimeter of the canvas. Now measure the head of the future owner of the cap. Determine how many loops you need to dial for the beginning and how many rows you will have to knit in height for the desired cap model. Men's knitted accessories can now be long or short, and you can also make a double hat. To do this, the beginning of knitting is folded inward and fixed with a secret stitch. Accordingly, the canvas should be longer than necessary for the lining (10-15 cm is enough).

Step 3: We knit and collect the cap

Determine yourself what is more comfortable for you to knit: a straight canvas on two spokes or round on knitting needles. The lack of a seam is more aesthetic, but some find that a round knit is more difficult to knit. If you still chose the second option, put on the ends of the spokes pieces of rubber, so that the loops do not slip during knitting.

From below, knitted man's hats begin with an elastic band 1 to 1 or 2 to 2, not less than 5 cm long. It is also better to knit the elastic with an elastic band. Type the desired number of loops, with knitting roundly distribute them evenly on the knitting needles. Knit the web of the required length. Loss starts 5-7 cm before the end of knitting. Then the number of loops should be divided by 6 and looped together, the number of which is a multiple of the number obtained as a result of division. For example, if you dial 132 loops, tie together 22 and 23 loops, 44 and 45, etc. If you can not divide them without the remainder, reduce several loops in advance. In each of the following rows, the loops that are above the allowance are tied together.

When there are only 12 loops left on the spokes, tighten them around in a circle with a sewing needle and secure the thread on the wrong side. If necessary, sew a side seam, bend and attach a lining to the wrong side. Sometimes knitted man's hats get the final form and form not immediately, but in the process of wearing socks.
