Knitted hats for women: patterns, descriptions, modern models
Three reasons why you need to learn how to knit hats:
First: Today it is difficult to find a knitted hat made from natural yarn in stores. At best, it will be wool blend with 50% acrylic, but, alas, you will not find 100% alpaca or merino wool with a touch of silk. But in stores you can easily buy wool with the desired composition and knit a hat for yourself without synthetics.
Second: it's all about the style. To find a hat model that suits you, you need to visit all the stores in the city, is this familiar to you? Isn’t it easier to buy yarn and knit a hat with your own hands according to the description from the website? The Kolibri website presents many modern models of knitted hats with descriptions in Russian.
Third: A knitted hat is the perfect gift for a loved one. For mom or grandma, brother or sister, dad or dear husband: a knitted hat with knitting needles with your own hands will give them a piece of the warmth of your hands, and will be the perfect way to express your concern for loved ones.
I wish you easy stitches and successful knitting with the Kolibri website!

How to knit a fashionable hat
Once you have learned how to knit simple hats, you can move on to more complex patterns. In 2018, the following models will be relevant: a voluminous hat, a hat with earflaps, a beanie (also called a stocking cap, a sock, a cap), a turban, a hood (or a helmet hat), a model with a visor, a hat with a pompom, a double a mischievous hat with ears, a regular one with a lapel, a snood hat (or a hooded hat).
Fashionable voluminous hat made of large yarn
Universal size 53-54 cm.
Necessary:
- thick yarn 200 g
- circular knitting needles 10 mm, length 40 cm
- stitch marker
- thick knitting needle
Description:
Cast on 32 loops. Place a marker at the beginning of the row and join into a circle.
Knit with an elastic band as follows: *k2, p2; repeat from * to the end.
Work 14 more circular rows and decrease 2 stitches evenly, knitting 2 knits together in the last rib circle = 30 stitches.
Next, knit 12 circular rows with knit stitches only.
Track. round: knit 2 stitches together = 15 stitches.
Work 2 more rounds with knit stitches. Cut the thread, leaving a long tail. Thread the piece into a knitting needle. Slip all loops onto the thread. Pull and secure the thread on the wrong side.
Universal hat with earflaps for women
Size - 54 cm (head volume)
Necessary:
- 250 g yarn
- regular knitting needles 4 mm
The hat can be knitted in 2 threads.
Ears:
Cast on 6 stitches and start knitting a hat in garter stitch. At the same time, add 1 loop on both edges 6 times every 2 rows. Then knit straight for another 14 rows.
If you add more loops, your eye will be much wider. If you knit more rows, then your eyelet will be longer than in the photo. So, you have knitted 2 identical ears.
HAT WITH EAR FLAPS:
Now we collect everything into one product. To do this, on a long knitting needle, alternately cast on the loops from your ears and new ones for the front and back of the hat. Please note that at first the back of the hat will gradually increase in size and will eventually consist of two parts connected by a mattress seam. For a visual representation, look at the photo of the pattern.
Thus, you need to add 1 loop, knit the loops of one ear using knit stitch (or any other stitch, if you don’t want the option from the photo), cast on an additional 20 loops for the front of the hat, knit the second eye and cast on an additional 1 loop.
Continue knitting the hat using your pattern or stockinette stitch as suggested in the photo. At the same time, add loops to expand the back of the product in every second row on both sides of the knitted fabric 1 time for 2 loops and 1 time for 3 loops. This will be about 8 rows. This will be the full width of your header. If necessary, you can adjust it by adding more loops during the knitting process.
You need to knit about 16 more rows, which will be the height of the cap before tapering at the crown.
Decrease in this way: 1 edge loop *, 5 knit loops, 2 loops with a tilt to the right, 2 knit loops, 2 loops with a tilt to the left, 5 knit loops *, repeat from * to *, 1 edge -I'm a loop.
Decrease stitches in this manner 3 more times every 2 rows, and pull off the remaining stitches after 2 rows. Sew the hat at the back using a mattress stitch.
For the front lapel, cast on 20 stitches along the edge and knit in garter stitch to the desired height. then close all the loops and attach the flap in any suitable way.
For braids, you need to cut 18 threads 1 meter long, fold them in half and thread them through the bottom of the ears and braid them into braids.
Knitted beanie hat (stocking hat, sock hat, cap)
Necessary:
- circular knitting needles 4 mm
- 200 g medium yarn
- tape measure
Description:
First of all, using a measuring tape, measure the circumference of the head for which you plan to knit a hat. Let's say you get 56 cm. This means that you will knit a size 56 hat.
The second important step is to determine the knitting density. What does knitting density mean? This is the number of loops and rows required to knit a fabric measuring 10x10cm. What this means in “simple language” is to correctly calculate how many loops you need to cast on at the beginning of the work.
Cast on 22 loops and knit 10 cm in the pattern chosen for the hat.
Iron the knitted sample through a damp cloth. You don't need to smooth it out too much. Do this carefully, lightly “steaming” the sample.
Measure the prepared sample around the perimeter. Let's say you get a sample measuring 10x10 cm when knitting 30 rows. This means that the knitting density with this pattern will be 2 loops per 1 cm and 3 rows per 1 cm.
That is, for a size 56 hat you need to cast on: 56x2=112 stitches and knit 30 cm, that is, 30x3=90 rows.
Cast on the required number of stitches on circular needles. And knit in a circle, using the fishing line, with the previously selected pattern 25-27 cm up. You will get a knitted fabric in the form of a pipe. After 25 cm, start decreasing stitches by knitting 2 stitches together in every third row until you have 3 stitches left on the needle. When decreasing the stitches, knit the fabric in garter stitch. Break the thread from the skein, leaving about 10 cm, and pull it through the 3 remaining loops, knitting them together and securing the end on the wrong side.

Wool turban hat for the cold season
Necessary:
- 150 g wool yarn
- knitting needles No. 2.5 - 3
Knitting pattern: 1st row - 1 knit stitch, 1 purl loop. 2nd row - yarn over before the purl loop, and remove the purl loop without knitting; knit the front loops with your face. 3rd and all subsequent rows - yarn over before the purl loop, remove the purl loop without knitting, and knit the front loop and yarn over of the previous row together (grab from above).
The cap consists of two parts: the turban itself and the bottom. The height of the turban is 10-12 cm.
Description:
Cast on the height of the turban, approximately 24 loops, and knit a strip whose length is equal to half the circumference of the head minus 2 cm.
Then divide all the loops in half. Remove the left side with a pin and do not knit it temporarily, but knit 4 more rows on the right side. After this, swap both parts so that the right part goes to the left and on top of the left part. Next, put all the loops on one knitting needle and knit the second half of the strip.
If, when knitting the second half, there are two identical loops next to each other, then knit them together (so as not to knock the pattern), and at the end of the row add one loop. When the desired length is knitted, close the loops.
Now cast on loops along the entire length of the strip and knit 7 - 8 rows with an English elastic band, then 2.5 cm with a 1x1 elastic band. After this, start knitting the bottom: 2 rows with double stockinette knitting (knit the front loops with the face, remove the purl stitches, the thread remains before work). Then knit 2 stitches together across the face, so that the knit stitch is on top of the purl stitch. Knit 3-4 rows in simple stockinette stitch, then 2 rows across the face in double stockinette stitch, the next 1-2 knit rows in 2 stitches together. Pull off the remaining 6-8 loops. Steam the bottom through a damp cloth.

An original bonnet (or helmet) for the very cold season
Necessary:
- 400 g yarn
- knitting needles No. 3
Description:
You need to cast on 31 stitches on the knitting needles and knit a transverse strip of any knitting that you choose yourself for a frill 110 cm long, so that it has a beautiful and finished look, then make the corners on it in shortened rows.
In each row, be sure to decrease the knitted loops by 2, that is, first you need to knit 29 loops on the front side of the product, then leave 2 loops intact, wrapping around the 30th loop and turning the knitted product to the wrong side, then knitting the entire row to the end.
In the next row on the front side, also knit 27 loops, leaving 4 loops intact.
Wrap around the 28th loop and turn it over again to the wrong side. Thus, knit the entire product.
Having stopped under-knitting all the loops of the corner, begin to knit the main part, increasing the rows, which will make it possible to change the direction of knitting. First, knit three loops on the front side, and in subsequent rows increase the number of loops by 2, but only knitted ones.
Having knitted the strip with the corners, on one side, cast on about 180 loops along the edge loops and knit the product with garter stitch. Then remove one stitch every three stitches on the next row. Repeat such decreases 2 more times. Then knit 5 cm in garter stitch.
After 5 cm for the main part of the hood, add evenly up to 90 stitches and again knit another 17 cm in garter stitch. Then select 30 loops in the center and knit only them, grabbing and knitting together - both at the beginning and at the end - 2 loops from the central part on each side. After all the central loops are connected to the side loops, close the remaining loops.
Hat with visor
Necessary:
- 250-300 g yarn
- circular knitting needles No. 2.5
- silicone visor
Description:
Cast on 80 loops, close in a circle and knit 4-6 rows in stockinette stitch, i.e. facial loops.
When I join in a circle, I leave a tail of thread to mark the beginning of the row. Divide the number of loops into three parts - 18 stitches, 44 stitches, 18 stitches. On 44 loops we will knit a visor, making an increase of 10 loops every 4 loops. We make an increase so that the visor fits well and fits comfortably in its pocket.
When the pocket for the visor is knitted and the decreases are made, we knit the second half of the headband.
We fold the fabric into pieces, throw the tail of the thread onto the face of the knitting (beginning of the row!). We knit one loop from the knitting needle, lift one and knit it from the cast-on edge. We reach approximately the middle of the visor, insert the visor blank and continue knitting loops to the end of the row, i.e. to the tail.
The upper part of the rim (i.e. the front) should be several rows larger than the inner one (to hide the holes from turning).
And so we have 160 loops on our knitting needles. You can start knitting the crown. We divide the loops into 8 parts (wedges) and knit a zigzag pattern. One wedge - 20 loops. Rapport-*from 1 pet. knit 3 loops, knit 8, 3 loops together (behind the back wall), knit 8* - repeat 7 more times. If you want a larger cap, you can add 16 stitches = 176 stitches. One wedge - 22 loops. Rapport-*from 1 pet. knit 3 loops, knit 9, 3 loops together (behind the back wall), knit 9* repeat 7 more times.
We knit the crown height we need, knitting one row in a zigzag pattern, one row evenly.
Tulya is ready. We begin to make reductions. One row is zigzag, one row is straight.
One row - we knit only 3 loops together, and we don’t make 3 loops from 1 loop, one row exactly.
When there are 16 loops left on the knitting needles, knit 2 loops together and pull them onto a thread.
The cap is ready!

Warm double hat for winter
Necessary:
- circular knitting needles;
- yarn of your favorite color;
- soft yarn for lining;
- tape measure;
- scissors;
- hook.
In order to knit a double hat of your size, you need to know the circumference of your own head. Determine it using a measuring tape. Write down the result and calculate the stitches for the set. A standard for which you need to knit a small square using a working thread will help you make the calculation correctly. Count the number of loops in one centimeter of the standard.
To knit the front part of the hat, multiply this amount by the circumference of the head in centimeters and add 4-5 loops for supply. For the lining, take yarn designed for knitting children's clothes. It does not prick and does not cause skin irritation.
Description:
Cast on the required number of stitches on two knitting needles folded together, pull out one of the knitting needles and start knitting an elastic band.
The most reliable elastic band is 1x1. It stretches well and retains its original appearance for a long time. Having knitted 5-6 cm of elastic bands, start stocking knitting. When knitting in the round, it is better to knit the front loops using the front thread, so they turn out more even.
Knit the main part of the hat with a height of about 15cm. Then start decreasing. If you decide to knit a double hat on radial knitting needles, divide the number of loops by 4, mark each part and first knit 2 loops together for each part. In this case, if knitting is done with a set of 5 knitting needles, knit 2 loops first on each knitting needle.
Once all the loops are closed, secure the thread to the wrong side of the hat with a crochet hook.
For the lining of the hat, cast on loops from the wrong side of the main fabric, immediately after finishing the elastic band. Don't forget to decrease 4-5 stitches. Knit in stockinette stitch. Tie the lining 1-2 cm shorter than the main part of the hat and close it according to the same pattern.
Wash knitted items by hand, in warm water, using special detergents for washing knitted items. They must be wrung out without twisting, but dried on a terry towel in a straightened form.
Hat with ears
Size 56-57.
Necessary:
- 150 g yarn
- circular knitting needles 4 mm
Description:
For the first “ear” you need to cast on 7 loops and knit in this order: 1Krom., 1IP, 1LP, 1IP, 1LP, 1IP, 1Krom.
The 2nd and all purl rows are knitted according to the pattern.
Once you have about 21 stitches on your needles, measure the length of the eyelet.
If the length is suitable, then set it aside and start knitting the second one.
If not, then knit directly the required length, but without adding loops.
Tie the second “ear” in the same way.
Then, on circular or stocking needles (you can knit on straight ones, but then there will be a seam along the back of the head, and the loops will need to be distributed taking into account this seam), cast on 33 loops, add 21 loops of the first “eye”, cast on 33 loops again, add 21 loops of the second “eye”.
Next, knit with a regular elastic band 1LP x 1IP for about 3-4 rows. Make sure that the elastic pattern is distributed harmoniously across the new cast-on stitches.
Those. for the front and back of the cap, which consist of 31 loops, distribute the loops as follows:
7 elastic loops, 6 elastic loops, 7 elastic loops, 6 elastic loops, 7 elastic loops = 33 loops in total; for the “ears”, each of which consists of 21 loops, distribute the loops in this way: 6 loops of the harness, 1 IP, 6 loops of the harness, 1IP, 6 loops of the harness = a total of 20 loops. Carefully shorten 1 loop, i.e. knit 2 loops together without ruining the pattern.
Knit straight, repeat the repeat of the “harness” according to the pattern, about 14-16 centimeters.
Then start decreasing stitches.
To do this, in every 4th row, reduce evenly throughout the entire row:
3 times 1/4 of the total number of loops
Check the height of the cap, if it fits, then pull the remaining loops with the end of the thread and secure them. As a rule, the height of a hat with ears can be from 20 to 22 centimeters. Perhaps some people like it taller.
If the height is not enough, then knit a few more rows in height, while shortening the existing loops, and close at the end.
For the ties, attach pieces of yarn to the ends of the “ears”. About half as long as the desired length of the strings themselves. Take the yarn in several threads for three parts, which you will then braid into a braid. This will be your tie. Tie a knot at the end and straighten the yarn at the bottom of the tie with scissors.
For the top of the head, make a pompom.

Winter knitted hat with lapel
Size 56-57.
Necessary
- 150 g yarn
- regular knitting needles No. 5
Description:
The number of loops should be divided by 4, plus 2 edge loops. If we knit for an adult, approximately 98 loops will be required: 96+2=98.
We cast on loops and start knitting the first row: remove the edge loop without knitting, then 2x2 elastic: 2 knit loops, 2 purl loops, always knit the last loop of the row (edge loop) purl to maintain even edges of the product. We always remove the first stitch of the row without knitting.
All further rows, both purl and knit, are knitted according to the pattern: 2 knit stitches above the knit stitches, 2 purl loops above the purl stitches.
When the required depth of the cap is reached, taking into account the lapel option you have chosen, we begin to make decreases from the next front row: we knit 2 purl loops together with a purl loop.
In the second row (purl) we knit according to the pattern: 2 purl loops, 1 knit stitch.
In the third row we decrease the knit stitches: instead of two knit stitches, we knit two knit stitches together. The result is a 1x1 elastic band: 1 knit stitch from two knit stitches, 1 purl stitch.
Fourth row - according to the pattern: 1 purl loop, 1 knit stitch.
For the fifth row (front row), we knit two stitches together.
And the sixth, final row - purl all the loops.
As you can see, decreases when knitting a hat from a rectangle have the same principle as when knitting in the round, only adjustments are made to the front and back rows.
When knitting a hat from a rectangle, it is better to leave the tip of the thread sub-line so that it is enough for the back seam. We collect the remaining loops on it using a hook or a large needle, pull it into a ring and carefully sew the cap together. You can connect the edges of a cap in different ways (with seams), this is a reason for a separate article, but the main goal in any case is to make sure that the seam looks equally neat both on the front side and in that part of the back that will be visible when the edge of the cap is turned back . Remember this!
That's all. We tangle it, cut off the excess end of the thread and go to try it on.
I wish you interesting work and warm hats!
If you need a visual example, watch the video as knit a hat with a lapel on YouTube.
Hit of the season - snood hat
Necessary:
- 200 g yarn
- circular needles No. 5
First, decide on the width and length of the future product, and then knit a small piece with the knitting stitch you prefer. Having chosen the fragment you like, you can count the number of loops for the product. So, cast on the required number of stitches on circular knitting needles. The proposed snood must be knitted with a Polish elastic band. This knitting is not very difficult, and if you are knitting it for the first time, don’t be afraid, you will adapt quite quickly.
The resulting chain of loops must be connected into a circle and knitted.
First row: 3 knit stitches and one purl stitch.
Second row: two knit stitches, one purl stitch, and one knit stitch.
Third row: knitted similarly to the first row.
Fourth row: knit the same way as the second one.
Then continue knitting in cycles. Don’t forget that the wider the hat, the more effectively it can be placed on your head. |
Video "how to" “knit a snood hat” will help beginners learn in more detail the whole process of creating such a beautiful knitted creation.
How to knit a hat with a pattern
Hats with a pattern look more impressive, but they are much more difficult to knit, since you need to monitor both the shape of the hat and the pattern. Sometimes you get lost and have to start all over again. But if you are careful and practice on a small sample, you will succeed the first time.
English elastic hat
Necessary:
- wool yarn – 50 g at 135 m;
- straight knitting needles No. 4 – 2 pcs.;
- crochet hook;
- scissors;
- darning needle.
1. Find out the head circumference of the future owner of the headdress and be sure to make a small square of knitted fabric for the sample - the knitting density is always calculated individually. When knitting a hat with English elastic, an elastic, almost dimensionless product is created. In the described example, with a head circumference of 55-60 cm, a knitwear density of 18 loops for 46 rows, 78 loops are cast on for the headband of the hat. The knitting needles are straight and of medium diameter (No. 4).
You can start knitting a hat with English elastic without making an elastic border. At the same time, you can make the fabric of the product either with or without a turn. Please note: the 1x1 elastic band secures the edge well!
2. Knit the headband in straight and purl rows, alternating 2 knit stitches and 2 purl stitches. When 8 rows are ready, start knitting the hat with an English elastic band. In the first row of the pattern you will need to make even increases, bringing the total number of loops to 95.
To add loops, divide the row into equal sections, and knit an additional thread in each. To do this, grab and twist the transverse threads between adjacent loops.
3. Work the fluffy fabric with an English elastic band until you reach a height of 25 cm from the edge of the rim. To form the main knitwear pattern, alternate stitches in the following sequence. In the first row of the pattern, do only knit stitches; start the second row with the edge loop (it can be removed unknitted); do the front one. Next, repeat the so-called double knit stitches, inserting the right knitting needle into the thread bow of the previous row. The final loops are the front and edge stitches.
4. Start the third row of English rib also with an edge loop, then alternate double and regular knit stitches until there are only a couple of thread arches left on the left needle. Knit the first one as a double knit stitch, the second one will be an edge stitch. Repeat the pattern according to the finished sample of the second and third rows until you have made the main fabric of the headdress of the desired size.
5. Start shaping the crown of the hat. To round the knitted fabric and tighten it at the top, make uniform decreases in the forward and reverse rows: at the beginning, an edge loop; during a row of 3 thread arches are knitted together with a regular knit stitch; at the end - edging. In the next row, make decreases without leaving any edge stitches, always knit 3 loops together.
6. Cut the working yarn, leaving a tail about 10 cm long. Pull it over the open loops of the last row and drag it with the hook inside the hat. Form a strong knot.
7. Turn the hat wrong side down, steam the knitted fabric and carefully connect the side edges of the part. Make a neat connecting seam using a darning needle and thread from a working ball. To ensure that the stitching remains sufficiently elastic and the product does not deform, do not make the stitches too tight.

Stylish hat with braids
Necessary:
- 150 g yarn
- knitting needles No. 3.5,
- knitting needles No. 4, 5
I knitted it on two needles, because I have a large thread on circular needles and it results in a lot of tension and large holes between the loops, and I like it tighter. Then I sewed it together.
I cast on 96 stitches on the knitting needles. Knitting needles No. 3.5. Knitted in 2 threads, yarn with 20% wool, 135g per 50m.
I knitted a 2×2 elastic band about 6 cm.
Switched to knitting needles No. 4.5
Pattern:
- (p2, k6, p2, k2) - repeat until the end of the row.
- knit according to the pattern, where from inside to outside, where from faces to faces.
Knit 6 rows like this and in the 7th row make overlaps where there are 6 faces. (YouTube is full of videos on how to knit braids). I did this: I transfer 3 loops to a toothpick, knit the next 3, return these 3 loops from the toothpick to the left knitting needle and knit them too. Then, according to the pattern, 2 purl, 2 knit, 2 purl and again overlaps. So until the end of the row.
After these overlaps, we knit 1 row on the wrong side according to the pattern, I don’t count it.
And repeat all 6 rows again, overlap in the 7th
And repeat all 6 rows again and overlap in the 7th
In total, we made 3 braids. And from the beginning of knitting we knitted about 15-17 cm.
By watching in addition the video “how to knit a hat with braids for a woman,” you can easily master the science of knitting.
To create a hand-knitted item, a craftsman must work long and hard: after all, he does not create a factory copy, one of many, but an exclusive item. The article will tell you how to knit a hat for a woman, choose the size, and get familiar with descriptions and patterns of models. It will be interesting for both beginners and professionals.
p.s In the last article we looked at an example of how to crochet a hat
To knit a hat with your own hands, you need to have knitting needles and yarn, know the simplest patterns and be able to determine the size of the future headdress. The material, depending on the time of year, can be wool, cotton thread or synthetics. For a children's hat, you need to take a thread that cannot cause an allergic reaction.
However, using exclusively natural yarn for knitted products is not the best solution. If a little synthetic is not added to the wool yarn, the hat may lose its shape after washing. The ideal proportion is a mixed fiber, in which half is wool, and half - synthetics.
Knitting needles are made of plastic, wood or metal. They are selected according to their diameter, which must correspond to the thickness of the thread. If you are going to knit in the round, you can use five double needles or special needles connected with fishing line. You can knit with two knitting needles, but you will get an even fabric that will have to be sewn. This seam on the cap will inevitably be visible. 
Diagrams and photos, description of the main patterns
Basic patterns: purl and knit stitch, as well as elastic - this is the ABC of knitting, which must be mastered step by step:
- Purl stitch or garter stitch is available for beginners. This is the main pattern when creating hats. The first row is knitted open, the second row is knitted inside out.
- Front stitch or stocking stitch is also a classic pattern. The first row consists of knit stitches, the second row consists of purl stitches.
- Rubber- a very common pattern. In the first row, two knit stitches and two purl stitches alternate.
- English gum often used for scarves and hats, looks good when knitted with large knitting needles from bulky yarn. The first row is alternating knit and purl stitches, the second is a knit stitch, yarn over, purl loop, removed without knitting. The third row is similar to the first.
Hat size for children and adults
To correctly determine the size of the hat, it is necessary to measure the circumference of the head one centimeter above the auricle and eyebrows. The depth of the cap is determined from the table. After this, you need to cast on the loops correctly, because the yarn may not match the thickness given in the model description or the size is not indicated quite accurately. To fit the headdress correctly, you can knit a control sample approximately 10 cm wide. 
After closing the loops, measure the width of the sample and count the number of loops. Using proportion, we calculate how many loops are needed to obtain the required circumference of the hat. 
How to knit a hat for women and children
We offer you new models, winter and spring, for girls and adult women, simple and very beautiful.
Children's yarn used is 50% wool and 50% fiber. The hat used three skeins of white yarn and three of pink (not all of it was used). The head circumference is 51 cm and 86 loops are required. Knitting needles No. 3 are used. An elastic band is knitted - two knit stitches alternate with two purl stitches. The second row is knitted with purl stitches. 
Video lesson:
The hat is knitted from Alize threads, consisting of 75% wool and 25% polyamide. Knitting needles for these threads are recommended from 2 to 4 millimeters in diameter. There were 80 stitches around the circumference of the hat, the pattern was ribbed, with two knit stitches alternating with two purl stitches. After 2.5 centimeters of elastic, the cap increased in volume - an additional 25 loops were cast on. 
Video lesson:
Woolen yarn with a thickness of 3-4 millimeters was used; in addition to two knitting needles 3.5 mm thick, two large pins will be required. Two skeins of yarn were used, that is, 300-350 meters. The number of loops is 80. Knitting begins with the creation of an elastic band, in which the front and back loops alternate in pairs, and then the formation of patterns begins. 
Video lesson:
The hat is made of Alize alpaca royal yarn, which contains acrylic - 44%, alpaca - 30% and wool - 15%.. There are 250 meters in a 100-gram skein of this yarn. 124 loops were used for the circumference of the hat. After knitting the 1x1 elastic, the creation of the pattern began. At this stage, we move from knitting needles No. 3 to circular knitting needles No. 4 or even 4.5, since the braid pattern tightens the fabric and we have to expand it somewhat.

Detailed description with video on how to knit a beanie hat. The material used is 100% wool. It took 50 meters or one skein 125 meters long. The recommended needle size is 3, but actually size 2.5 was used for both the elastic and the main fabric. The first 7.5 centimeters are occupied by an elastic band of 126 loops. After ribbing, two rows of satin stitch should be done before the pattern - this will allow for a more beautiful transition. 
Video lesson:
The lapel is made of elastic in case of severe frosts. For warm weather, in the spring, you don’t need to knit it. It is enough to halve the width of the elastic band. Used size 7 circular needles. The yarn composition is 30% alpaca, 10% wool and 60% acrylic. A 150-gram skein holds 120 meters of thick yarn - one skein is enough for a hat. 
Video lesson:
130 loops are required for 56 centimeters of hat circumference. Circular knitting needles with a diameter of 4.5 mm were used. The hat begins with a 1x1 elastic band, 6 cm wide, after which you can start knitting the pattern. Knitting a beautiful, simple women's hat is quite simple. 
Video lesson:
Knitted from Valencia yarn, the length of which is 220 meters in 100 grams. Yarn composition: 43% wool, 7% angora and 50% acrylic. For a hat knitted with one thread, one skein is enough, but if knitted with two threads, it will take about one and a half skeins. We knit a hat with knitting needles No. 3.5. For 10 centimeters of knitting, 18 loops are required. A total of 55 stitches are needed for the hat.

Knitted hats have been loved by fashionistas and fashionistas for a long time and, obviously, for a long time. They serve not only for warmth, but also for creating an image. By choosing the right headdress, you can complete your look or add a bright accent to your appearance. The article offers a variety of knitted hats, knitting patterns and new items for 2019. We will try to figure out how to knit the most fashionable models, choose yarn for them, and choose the style of the headdress to suit your face and style.
What kind of hats are in fashion?
For autumn and winter today, many people choose a knitted hat. It may well be handmade and you can create it yourself. Knitting a hat is quite simple and quick, the main thing is to choose a model and know the basic simple techniques.
First, let’s figure out which hats are trending, consider knitting patterns and new items for 2019. Of course, braids and plaits are in fashion. Hats and sets (hat and scarf, snood or mittens) with this pattern are wildly popular today. Hats with a turn-up made from regular or fluffy yarn with a pattern of simple English elastic are in demand.
A knitted hat can be any color. Relevant today are:
- brown;
- grey;
- green;
- shades of turquoise;
- any pastel colors.
Knitted hats with color transitions are at the height of fashion. All the knitted hats described below, new items for 2019, can be knitted using the given patterns using this method of color transition. The basis is a thread of any shade and another thread, the color of which is in harmony with the main one. During the knitting process, one thread gradually replaces another (provided that the product is knitted in 3-4 thread folds) and a smooth color transition is obtained.
Hats with pom-poms are considered fashionable today. Pompoms can be made of natural or faux fur or from threads from which the hat itself is knitted.
Regarding the beret, one cannot say for sure. It is not a trendy item this season, but no one has ever canceled the classic options. If this particular type of headdress suits the style and shape of a lady’s face, then you can safely knit it for yourself.
Now let’s try to understand the variety of models of knitted hats, consider knitting patterns and new items for 2019.
Choosing yarn for a hat
For this item of clothing, a wool thread made of soft fiber, with the addition of acrylic, silk, or in its pure form is best suited. In terms of thickness, you can choose absolutely any thread, depending on the pattern and idea. For autumn hats, you can take a thin thread and knit openwork; for a winter hat, a medium-thick thread and a denser pattern are suitable.
Knitted hats, new for 2019 (knitting patterns are given below), made from fluffy threads: angora and mohair, look quite impressive. They can be used in pure form or with the addition of wool or acrylic thread to make the cap thicker.
Of the wool threads, merino, alpaca, and mink wool are considered the softest. But these are also the most expensive options. You can choose budget yarn that contains wool and acrylic in half or in another proportion. Such a thread can also be soft and not at all prickly, but for a hat this is very important, since the product is in close contact with the body.
Large knitting is popular today. For models with this characteristic, there are specially thick threads. It is easy to knit with them, as the result in the form of a brand new hat will not take long to arrive. But here it is important to knit quite tightly so that the hat does not blow out.
The trend of recent seasons is knitted sets. Any hat knitted with knitting needles can be complemented with a neck accessory, mittens or leggings, knitted from the same threads as the hat. The result is a set that is warm, cozy and stylish.
Now let’s look at some women’s knitted hats, their knitting patterns and new items for 2019 for winter and autumn.
Descriptions and diagrams of modern hat models
Beanie
One of the latest models and the most popular today can be safely called a beanie hat. This simple-to-make and quite impressive-looking hat is knitted crosswise and in garter stitch. The following is a step-by-step description of the work.
For the hat you need:
- Yarn. You can take a fairly dense one, for example Nako Arctik, its footage is 100 meters per 100 grams. 1 skein is enough.
- Knitting needles. The number of knitting needles depends on how each craftswoman knits and is selected individually. Yarn manufacturers usually indicate on the packaging the number that is most often suitable for a given thread. For Nako Arctik yarn, this is No. 5. For knitting this model, circular knitting needles are suitable, since we will knit in short rows and the product will be rounded during the knitting process.
Let's get started:
- Cast on 36 stitches on a knitting needle and knit 2 rows with knit stitches. The first and last stitches in knitting will be edge stitches.
- Then the shortened rows begin and we knit them as follows:
Row 3: 1 edge stitch, knit 29 stitches and leave 6 on the left needle without knitting them. We turn the work around.
Row 4 and all even numbers are knitted.
Row 5: 1 edge loop, knit 29 stitches and leave 5 on the left needle without knitting them. We turn the work around.
Row 7: 1 edge loop, knit 29 stitches and leave 4 on the left needle without knitting them. We turn the work around.
Row 9: 1 edge loop, knit 29 stitches and leave 3 on the left needle without knitting them. We turn the work around.
Row 11: 1 edge loop, knit 29 stitches and leave 2 on the left needle without knitting them. We turn the work around.
Row 13: 1 edge loop, knit 29 stitches and leave 1 on the left needle without knitting them. We turn the work around.
Row 15: knit all stitches.
We got the first wedge. We will need to knit 8 such wedges in total, that is, we need to repeat knitting 7 more times from rows 3 to 15.
Row 16, knit all,
From the 17th row we start repeating from the 3rd row.
- We knit 2 more rows with facial loops.
- The hat is ready, sew the edges.
Hat with braids and thread pompom
Braid patterns are very popular today. You can knit a hat with knitting needles using this simple but effective pattern. The main thing here is to understand the principle of knitting braids. It is done as follows.
- It requires 9 loops. We divide them into 3 parts of 3 loops. We knit all the loops of the braid for several rows.
- We cross the right 3 loops with the middle ones, leaving them on the auxiliary needle before work.
- We knit several rows without crossing.
- We cross the left 3 loops with the middle ones, leaving them on the auxiliary needle while working.
- Again we knit several rows without crossing and repeat.
The braid can be replaced or supplemented with a tourniquet. It differs from a braid in that you only need to cross 2 parts of the loops in one direction. For example, for a rope we take 6 loops (3 and 3) and first knit several rows without crossing them, then we cross them with each other and continue knitting.
The hat can be knitted using braids and plaits alternately.
Between the loops of the braids and plaits you need to cast on 4 loops and knit them purl. By reducing them closer to the edge of the cap, the knitted fabric will narrow. Then you will need to cut the loops of the braids and when there are no more than 10 loops left on the knitting needle, tie them together with thread and the hat is ready.
The hat can be decorated with a thread pompom. It can be made by winding threads on a piece of cardboard of the required width and tying them into a knot on one side and cutting the other. The more threads you wind, the more magnificent the pompom will be.
A pompom made of natural fur will look very stylish on a knitted hat with braids. It can be chosen to match the hat or in a contrasting color, and a natural raccoon, light brown in color with darker tips, will suit any hat.
Mohair hat with ears
The simplest and most stylish option for knitting a hat with ears. It can be made from mohair, adding a matching wool thread for density.
For the hat you need:
- Mohair and wool thread.
It is better to knit the hats more tightly so that they are not blown away by the wind. If the knitting density is weak, then it makes sense for the hat to take a smaller number of knitting needles and knit tighter.
Let's get started:
- The hat is knitted in the shape of a simple rectangle. We put on the knitting needles the number of loops suitable for the volume of the head. The loops need to be calculated in advance by knitting a small piece of the threads that will make up the hat and measuring the volume of the head.
- First, we knit several rows with a 1*1 rib (1 knit, 1 purl). Purl rows according to the pattern.
- Then we continue knitting with the front stitch, that is, in the front rows we knit everything with the front loops, in the purl rows - with the purl stitches.
- So we continue to the desired depth of the header.
- Then we close the loops and make a back seam and a top seam to make a square hat.
- You can leave it like that, or you can pin the ears with a couple of seams (we lay the seams diagonally, leaving the corners of the ears).
Hat with a turn up
A knitted hat with a turn-up is suitable for both a young lady and an older lady, for a girl and for a boy. A versatile and stylish option that any fashionista can afford to have. This hat, made from regular threads or mohair or angora, will fit perfectly into any wardrobe style. It will look good with a jacket and with a coat and fur coat. How to tie it? Yes, very simple, using the following description.
For the hat you need:
- Mohair and wool thread of any desired shade. A cap usually takes no more than a 100 gram skein.
- Knitting needles No. 3-5 depending on individual knitting density.
Let's get started:
- We knit the hat completely with a 2*2 elastic band. (2 knit stitches and 2 purl stitches alternate).
- We cast on the knitting needles the required number of loops, having previously calculated according to the knitting density and the volume of the head.
- We begin to knit with the main pattern. We knit 15 centimeters for the hem (this is not a mandatory measurement, it depends on the desire of each craftswoman).
- When the collar is knitted, continue knitting to the full depth of the cap.
- 1 row before the end of knitting, we reduce the width by knitting all paired purl loops in the elastic into 1 loop.
- We tighten the remaining loops with thread.
- We make a seam in such a way that at the turn it is on the wrong side, then we unfold it and continue the seam on the other side.
- We turn the cap inside out, turn away the flap and the cap is ready.
Such a hat can also be knitted on circular knitting needles, then there will be no need to make a seam.
Here are a few more options for knitted hats and knitting patterns for new items in 2019.
Winter knitted hats for women
Let's look at several new 2019 winter hats with knitting needles and their knitting patterns.
For winter, a hat with ears is a good option. Today such options are quite relevant.
A hat with ears can be made using any pattern or simply pearl or garter stitch. We start knitting such a hat from the ears. First we knit one ear, then the second, then we knit a lapel for the forehead, if there is one according to the model. We distribute all the received parts on the knitting needle and cast on the required number of loops as follows: first, we cast on half the loops for the back of the hat, then there is an eyelet, then there is a lapel for the forehead (if there is none, then we cast on the loops of the front part of the cap), then the eyelet and the second part loops of the back of the cap.
We place it all on one knitting needle and begin knitting the main part of the hat according to the chosen pattern until the entire height of the hat is knitted. Tighten the loops and make a back seam. It is better to secure the lapel on the forehead with a couple of stitches.
The hat can be decorated with tassels at the ends of the ears.
For winter, you can use the cap with a turn-up described above or a beanie hat. To prevent winter winds from blowing through the knitted fabric, you can sew a fleece lining, for example, and sew it inside the hat. This way it will be warm and cozy, suitable for the Russian winter cold.
The considered patterns for knitting hats with knitting needles and new items for 2019 will help you decide on the choice of a great variety of models and methods of implementation, and to even better understand the principle of making a stylish and modern hat, you can watch the video.
Dimensions: head circumference: 52-54 (55-57) 58-60 cm
You will need: yarn (78% acetate, 12% polyester and 10% polyamide; 155 m/50 g) for a plain hat 100 g gold, for a striped hat 50 g each gold, copper and brown; set of double needles No. 4 and 5.
Rubber: alternately 1 knit, 1 purl.
Facial surface: In circular rows, constantly knit facial loops.
Sequence of stripes:* 3 circles. copper, golden and brown thread, from * repeat.
Knitting density: stockinette stitch (in 2 threads, knitting needles No. 5) -19 sts x 24 rounds. = 10 x 10 cm.
IMPORTANT: constantly knit in 2 threads.
Plain hat
Description of work. On knitting needles No. 4, cast on 88 (96) 104 stitches, distribute them evenly across 4 knitting needles, close them in a ring and knit for a 6 cm bar = 15 rounds. with an elastic band. Then switch to needles No. 5 and knit in stockinette stitch. After 10 cm = 24 circles. From the bar, start making decreases. To do this, mark every 13th stitch with a thread of a contrasting color or a stitch marker and in the next round. knit each marked loop together with the previous knit stitch = 96 sts. Repeat such decreases 5 more times in every 2nd round. and 5 (6) times - in each circle. Pull the remaining 8 stitches tightly with a working thread.
Make a pompom with a diameter of 6 cm and sew it to the top of the hat.
Striped hat
Description of work. This hat is knitted in the same way as a plain hat. Cast on the loops on the knitting needles with copper thread and knit in the above sequence of stripes. Make a pompom from threads of all three colors with a diameter of 6 cm and sew it to the top of the hat.
