Panama crochet - beautiful, fast, profitable

Each mother is well aware that with the onset of hot summer days, the child's head must be carefully hidden from direct sunlight. This is especially important if you need to go outside in the middle of the day, when the sun is in its most active phase. Every year, beginning in April, all loving parents are busy searching for the most beautiful and original headdress for their children. After all, various hats, caps and panamki have not only practical value - they have long become a fashionable and beautiful accessory with the help of which it is possible to single out their baby in the crowd of children in the playground.

Handmade Panama

Do not miss the chance to create the necessary seasonal accessory for moms and grandmothers who like to knit. Just one or two evenings, a little yarn - and a fashionable Panama crochet is done. And with the help of knitting needles you can make an openwork kerchief or bandana.

Children always knit their hats. Practically each of us had a cap made of wool or rabbit fuzz given by a caring grandmother. And in addition to it - mittens and socks. They were soft and warm, but, perhaps, all their advantages ended with this.

Modern children's hand-made headdresses are real masterpieces. From the kids just do not take your eyes off. The easiest, brightest and most memorable option is the Panama -bound crochet. For a girl, she can be decorated with a whole bouquet of flowers, leaves and summer berries. And on the heads of the boys "floating" ships and "crawling" crabs. Such decorative elements are created on the principle of appliqués. Only in this case they are not cut out of paper, but are cut out of yarn of different shades. The decor should be started when the panama crochet is already fully connected. So it will be easier to choose the ideal number and size of the overhead elements.

Choosing the yarn

Any summer headdress for a baby should certainly be easy. Its main task is to protect from heat, and not to heat your head. In addition, as in all children's products, it is desirable that the yarn consist of natural fibers. Exceptions can make up acrylics, specially designed for children's products. Similar rulers are present in the collections of most manufacturers.

The ideal option would be a thin cotton (200 meters in 50 grams). Of course, this advice should not be taken as an axiom. Many knitters use for panamok and much thicker threads, but in this case the chosen pattern must be as openwork.

The remains are sweet

For a needlewoman with an experience of panama, crochet for a baby connected, will be an excellent way to attach countless small hammers that remain after the completion of almost any product. To make a small flower, a machine or a bug, you will need no more than a meter of thread. But than more colors and shades will be decorated with a panama, crocheted, the brighter the child will look during a walk.

The work on creating such small decorative elements is very positive in itself. The result appears quickly, and the finished elements cause a smile of emotion. Knitting applications for children's hats will be an excellent creative rest, a cheerful change between the creation of complex adult products.

Take up work

Panama crochet is quite simple, you do not need much skill. You can start the main canvas in two ways: from the top of the head or from the beginning of the fields. For different versions apply different patterns. The canvas can be laced, smooth and even with braids and knots attached. Everything depends on the imagination of the needlewoman.

For the first variant, the thread is closed in a ring and the nine pillars are loosened in a circle without a crochet. Then several expansion rows follow. Their number depends on the volume of the child's head, as well as the pattern and thickness of the yarn that Panama crochet.

The knitting scheme from the top of the head can be convenient only if the harvested materials and the size of the product fully correspond to it. Otherwise, you can make a mistake, panama will be big or small, such work will have to be dismissed.

Knitting Panama from the fields is more suitable if the product is created "by eye". For this option, a chain of air loops, equal to the volume of the child's head, is fitted into the ring. On it, the first circular row is tied. Next, knitting continues in the direction of the crown, periodically performing a reduction. The main convenience of this method is the ability to at any time try on a hat.

When the main part of Panama is ready, fields are bound to it. For girls, you can use a variety of ruches, azhur, "seashells." In boyish versions it is necessary to remain extremely strict and laconic.
