Hat "French chic" crochet

Cloche means bell in French. It was from there that the fashion for stylish neat models of hats with small fields of a slightly expanded shape came to us. In the 20s of the last century, women rebelled against conservative stereotypes in clothing, refused corsets, long dresses ... And, of course, the new style required new headdresses. This beautiful style is again relevant. How to crochet a small cloche hat?

Every fashionista dreams of having something handmade in her wardrobe. Most often, needlewomen either sew or knit something. So, for beginners to learn the basics of needlework in knitting, a summer hat, which will become an indispensable summer accessory, will be an excellent gift for yourself.

Which crochet is better to choose?

Before proceeding with the manufacture of this accessory, study the diagrams and choose the model that is right for you, you should understand how to choose the right crochet hook. It depends on the quality of your product.

There are different hooks, they vary in thickness and length. Some of them are designed for a specific type of knitting. Ordinary hooks, different in thickness, have their own number,

If something is knitted from winter clothes, then you need to use a hook with a higher number, and if you want to knit a hat, as in this case, you should choose a small hook.

For convenience, the yarn has information about the hook that is best suited for knitting. If the designation on the label is missing for some reason, then fold the thread in half and get the required hook size.

Sometimes, of course, you should not obey the rules and it is better to experiment. So try, fantasize and create with pleasure.

Crochet summer hat

You can't do without a hat for the summer. It is an indispensable accessory for every woman or girl. This panama hat will take its rightful place in the summer wardrobe of a fashionista.

We can immediately say that the decoration for the hat can be made removable.

For knitting you will need:

• Yarn;
• Hooks under No. 2 and 5;
• Regilin;
• Stoppers;
• Satin ribbon.

Before you start knitting, carefully study the photo below, which shows a selection of yarn samples.

The scheme below is designed for a hat size of 49-50 cm exhaust gas.

We knit 14 rows according to the scheme, then we make an increase in every sixth column. In total, we should get 21 reports, the width of which is about 2 cm. From the 15th row we continue knitting according to the scheme. From rows 15 to 20, we repeat knitting twice. 33-38 rows are also knitted according to the scheme. From the 15-20th they differ only in the last row. Instead of CH, we knit RLS.

The following diagram shows how to knit a brim for a hat and a flower.

We start knitting the fields from the 39th row, for this we make an increase in every 3rd column. After the 45th row, we begin to add in every 4 columns, in the 51st - in every 5th. The point is to get 7 additional reports.

The fields will need to be steamed and given the desired shape, which should be similar to the shape of a flat circle. Bugrov and tail should also not be present. Next, strengthen the fields with regilin and stoppers.

We steam the fields with warm air, they will look like this:

We take regilin and tie it with RLS.

Here's what should happen.

We thread the stopper into the ends of the regilin.

We tie the same row of RLS again. And we knit the last row with a crustacean step through the column. Here is our hat and ready.

By the way, such a headdress is also suitable for autumn, if you knit it from thicker threads. And in order to learn more about the process of creating a hat, watch the video:

Video compilation with other ways:

Who would have thought that you can crochet a hat! Despite the imaginary complexity, even beginners can do it within one day. This is a primordially female accessory, so in our article we will consider various ways of knitting hats for girls and little girls who do not want to lag behind fashion.

Crochet photo of women's hats

Women's hats, knitted independently, look incredibly elegant. With such a headdress, you definitely will not go unnoticed. Look at the photos of finished works from professional craftsmen, perhaps very soon you will become the owner of such an original and cute hat.

Children's options are no less beautiful. Headdresses of little fashionistas can be decorated as you like. Pineapples, violets, roses, daisies and berries are ideal.

Master class and description of crochet hats

In childhood, many girls were jealous of their dolls, because they had such beautiful hats. Now you can make your dream come true and become the owner of a trendy and modern headdress.

Our master class is dedicated to the creation of a small children's model with improvised fields and a satin ribbon as an additional decoration. Openwork knitting makes the product airy and soft - ideal for the summer season.

To get started, choose the right thread color. You can take any patterns, but we suggest using ours if you do not yet have experience in knitting such products. Our description will help you understand if something is not clear.

The amount of yarn depends on the size. But, given that we are knitting a model for a girl, 100 g of cotton threads will be enough for you. To work, use hook number 2.

At the very beginning, you need to tie a simple chain of air loops. Attach it to the circle. The next row consists of three lifting loops and 30 columns with crochets. Then again you need to make a rise, and then knit, alternating two air loops and one double crochet. In the third row there will already be 44 double crochets.

Now take a look at the diagram. It shows how to knit further. Just follow the instructions and soon you will be able to enjoy the beautiful pattern. You should end up with a large dome with connected openwork petals. It must be carefully starched and turn the fields outward. Then you need to thread the satin ribbon into the lace and tie it with a beautiful bow. This completes the work, and you can already show off a brand new hat in front of your girlfriends.

We create a crochet hat with large fields: diagram and video

The hat in the previous master class has very small fields. If you like a model with large edges, you will have to use a wire frame. The fact is that starch will not overcome the severity of the knitted pattern, and the fields can quickly drop, and the product itself will lose its appearance.

For knitting, you will need white cotton yarn, at least 150 g. Work begins with 6 air loops, which are connected into a ring. Knit the next rows according to the pattern shown below.

Once the hat is ready, attach the wire frame to it, giving it the right shape. It would be desirable to additionally starch the product and put it on the form.

Another interesting lesson is offered on the video. You don't need a pattern to make this hat. Its author comes up with patterns on his own. Just listen to the recommendations and see how to knit a hat correctly. The beauty of the finished product can be enjoyed after a few hours of effortless work.

Photo of hats in retro style, with large brim and lace

Women's hat can be made in any shape. Recently, retro-style products have been in special demand. We offer several options for hats of this type.

In the summer, you need to carefully protect your face from the sun. A beautiful hat with large brim will help you with this. In it you will be like a real English lady at the Queen's reception.

Summer hats crocheted with flowers - a lot of patterns, ideas and mk

Here are collected schemes of beautiful openwork hats and color schemes for them. There is also material on how to starch and dry these hats.

Threads - begonia, hook 2.1. 1 skein was enough.
I'll try to write how I knitted (from memory)
I tied a strip of sirloin mesh around the circumference of the head (4 rows) - in a circle - such a bandage turned out
Then she attached the thread and knitted the strip on top with a fillet. Tried on my daughter. The holes were large. I tied them with fans, but at the same time I corrected the pattern so that it did not expand, but vice versa
Fields:
When moving to the fields, I tied 1 row of ssn (I always knit 2-3 rows of sbn, but here I didn’t knit it and the hat doesn’t fit so tightly to the head - I did it intentionally so that the hat was freer at sea)
then 3 rows of arches from 5 c. P.
And then fans according to your favorite scheme

Then she tied a double ring of regilin sbn, then with a crustacean step.

Hat “Little Lady”

schematic and description of the side part

The scheme of the bottom and crown on the exhaust gas 49-50 cm.

My yarn

My knitted 13 rows of bottoms:

Up to 13 rows inclusive for all sizes we knit the same way.
* * *
ATTENTION:
When knitting a pattern in those places where we stick the hook into the column, it is advisable to use the "deep" sticking method. The hook must be inserted not under the two upper half-loops of the column, but into the body of the column itself. This method will not allow the pattern to move when we knit with a crown.
* * *
Starting from the 15th row for all sizes, we knit according to the scheme. Rows 15-20 are repeated two more times.
From the 15-20th they differ only in the last row. Instead of CH, I knitted it with RLS.
33-38 rows are also knitted according to the scheme.
38th row - RLS in each column.
The fields start from the 39th row.

We finish the TULIA and insert the FIRST regelin equal to the circumference of the head. I did one vein. This is where we complete the work of the RLS. We steam.

We knit FIELDS hats.
In the 39th row we make increases in every 3rd column,
In the 45th row - in every 4th, in the 51st - in every 5th.
The point is that in each row with increases, you need to add 56 CH (7 reports). That is, in the 39th 168/56 \u003d 3, in the 45th (168 + 56) / 56 \u003d 4, etc.

FORTIFICATION OF THE FIELDS.

After the last row of fields is connected, they need to be steamed well.
On a horizontal table surface, the fields should be in the shape of a flat circle.

We take the SECOND regilin (two veins at once) and tie it with RLS. The length of regilin is not measured in advance !!! Just trim off the excess.
We straighten the fields well.
Steaming!
We tie the same row of RLS again. And we tie the last row with a "crustacean step" through a column.
On the plane, the fields should still have the shape of a flat circle.
Once again, steam the fields with an iron through a damp cloth !!!.
To stiffen, I used SALVITOSE, which is used in felting.
Dried on a balloon.

DECORATION.
It must be made removable - on a pin or button.

Daisies are very easy to knit.
Dial a chain of 2 c. n. In the first of them, knit 8 half-columns and close in a circle in the 1st half-column.

When the whole chamomile is ready, tie each petal in succession with connecting posts. This will allow them to keep their shape and not curl up.

For the centers of daisies, we make small pompoms using an ordinary table fork.

We wind the thread on the teeth of the fork. Then we tie with an additional thread in the middle, remove from the fork and tighten the knot. Then fluff and trim. Sew to the middle of the chamomile.

Two daisies are small, and one is slightly larger. For her, the scheme is the same, only for the petals we collect not 7, but 9 c. P.

I made a decoration on a button fastener for bags.
We need a button and a knitted circle - this is what daisies will be sewn to:

Finished:

Attach button to hat

Scheme (only for petals):

Notation: the sketched points on the diagram are the loop that is on the hook; the numbers in brackets are the number of loops that we pull out of the connected column (in order to make it easier to count the loops)

Blind (connecting) loop

I knit from Soso threads (50g = 240m) with an ordinary hook No. 1.5 (without a handle)

Step by step photo of the process:
1. In a sliding loop we knit 6 columns without a crochet

tighten the thread, close in a circle.

2. Capturing only the back half of the loops, we knit 11 columns without a crochet (1 stbn in the first half and 2 stbn in the next), we connect in a circle.

Half loops of the smaller circle will be needed for the upper petals.

3. We knit arches for the lower petals: we collect 5 air loops (in. p), skip 3 loops of the circle, fasten to the fourth; repeat 2 more times, fasten the last arch into the loop with which the first arch was knitted.

4. We begin to knit the first lower petal: We collect 4 in. p. If you turn the knitting a little, the back (purl) jumpers will be visible

there is one loop on the hook (filled dot on the diagram), from the purl jumpers we pull out one loop at a time (4 sticks), we pull the last one from under the arch (extreme stick)

There should be 6 loops on the hook

5. We close the row: we grab the working thread and knit the loops on the hook in pairs (they grabbed the working thread, pulled it through 2 loops, grabbed the working thread, pulled it through the next 2 loops). We got the first row (connected column)

6. If you turn the knitting a little, the purl jumpers will be visible,

We knit one in. P.; we pull the loops from the wrong jumpers (1 on the hook + 5 from the jumpers + 1 from under the arch = 7 loops).

We close the row in pairs.

7. Next, we begin to cut the loops. In the sixth row, we start knitting with a blind loop (we insert the hook into the first jumper, grab the slave thread and pull it through the loop on the hook). from further jumpers we pull along the loop and the last one from under the arch

We close the row in pairs.

To finish the first lower petal, we knit a blind loop into each purl jumper, and one under the arch

We make one blind loop in the next arch and begin to knit the second lower petal in the same way as the first. After you tie all three arches, it will turn out like this

To go to the upper petals, do 1 c. n insert the hook into the half loop of the small circle and knit a blind loop

On a small circle, 3 arches from 4 c. p (2 arches for the petals and 1 for the core)

8. We dial 5 in. n and knit the first connection. upper lobe column

First top petal:

two petals

We tie the upper petals with single crochets (I laid a thin wire along the contour to keep their shape better). The lower petals were tied with stbn (without wire). It turned out like this

We sew on beads, you can use small beads, and admire

Starching caps

1. We wash the cap in warm water (30-40 degrees). For washing white hats, I use a bleaching detergent, for colored ones - a powder for colored things.

2. Cooking starch. To do this, pour 2 tablespoons of starch into a bowl and dilute it with 1/2 cup of cold water (to avoid the formation of lumps). Then pour boiling water, about 1 - 1.5 liters, stirring constantly. The mixture should be thick and clear. We leave to cool.

3. Thoroughly starch the washed caps, wring out (without twisting), removing excess starch.

4. For drying hats, I use ordinary balloons, after inflating them to the desired size.

5. In the process of drying, I periodically give the fields the desired shape, I iron the fields of openwork caps through a layer of fabric.

The hat is one of the universal accessories. This headdress can be sewn from fabric or knitted from yarn. The latter option is especially suitable for hot summer days or holidays. Crochet summer hats can be mastered by any needlewoman, they are so easy to make.

How to crochet a hat?

All crochet hats are knitted according to the same principle. First you need to take your measurements and think over the future model. Fasten the measuring tape around your head. It should pass through the back of the head and the middle of the forehead. The resulting number should be remembered. This will be the size of the finished headgear.

Knitted hats can be completely different - with large, small fields, openwork or a solid pattern. It is also worth paying attention to the type of yarn. Often, crocheted summer hats are knitted from cotton and linen threads. They keep their shape very well. In addition, they are easy to starch. This processing allows you to make the edges more rigid. It is best to use threads of medium thickness.

The technique of knitting hats comes down to the fact that they are first knitted with a crown. To do this, they close the air loops into a ring, and then they begin to make increases. After even knitting, a bottom is obtained, which has wrapping edges. After that, they move on to the fields. Increase and knit the same number of loops to the desired width.

Crochet hat: knitting pattern

You will need:

• measuring tape
• Threads of medium thickness
• Hook 3 (or any other that fits the yarn)

Manufacturing instruction:

1. Tie 3 air loops and close around with a half-column. Knit 2 single crochets in each.
2. 2nd row, start with an air lifting loop. Then, in each column of the previous row, knit 2 loops according to the pattern. Finish knitting by connecting the beginning and end with a half-column. This action should be repeated at the end of each row.
3. On the 3rd row, start reps: 1 single crochet in the 1st loop, 2 in the 2nd. We start the row with an air loop, and end with a connecting column.
4. 4th row: 1st 2 loops - 1st column each, and in the 3rd we knit 2 single crochet.
5. While doing additions in this way, tie another 10 rows. We got the bottom of the future hat. At its base lies about 68-70 loops.
6. Next, we knit a tulle. To do this, we perform 1 column in each loop. Thus, you need to knit the fabric to a height of 12 cm. We knit 2 columns in the last loop of the row.
7. Start making additions. In the 1st loop, knit 2 columns, skip the next. Knit the fabric in this way to 18 cm (total height from the beginning).
8. Next row: 1 loop in the 1st column, 2 - in the next. Repeat alternating to the end of the row.
9. Continue knitting the hat by knitting 1 single crochet. Knit in this way until the brim of the hat reaches the desired width. Cut the thread and pull the tail through the loop. Then carefully hide it.

Crochet hat for a girl: job description

You will need:

• Thin yarn like "Iris" - 100 gr.
• Hook 2

Manufacturing instruction:

1. Knit 12 air loops and close them into a ring.

5. 7 row: knit 1 double crochet in each loop, and 1 air loop between them.
6. Let's move on to the fields. And we knit 2 double crochets in each loop of the previous row. Between them - 1 air loop.
7. The next rows are double crochets in each loop. We knit in this way until the fields reach the desired width. We cut the thread and stretch it with a hook into the last loop. We carefully hide the tail on the wrong side.
8. You can decorate the finished hat with a ribbon or crocheted flowers.

Crochet summer hats: how to knit?

This hat model is quite simple in its implementation. At the same time, she looks quite stylish. It can be worn with a summer sundress, denim shorts or linen trousers. The headpiece is universal and suitable for any style of clothing.

You will need:

• Cotton or linen yarn, 320 m in 100 gr. - 1 skein.
• Hook 2
• Line for fixing margins

Manufacturing instruction:

1. First, we calculate the diameter of the bottom of the future hat. To do this, we take a measurement of the girth of the head. Divide the resulting number by 3. Then subtract 2 cm from it. This is done due to the fact that after washing the product will sit down a little, but then it will stretch during wear.
2. We begin to knit the bottom. To do this, we close 3 air loops into a ring. Then we knit 6 loops into it.
3. From the 2nd row we start adding. To do this, we knit 2 single crochets in each loop.
4. 3 row: 2 single crochet in 1 loop, 1 - in the 2nd. We alternate knitting in this way to the end of the row.
5. We knit according to the scheme until the diameter of the bottom of the hat with a hook becomes equal to the number that we received thanks to the calculation at the very beginning.
6. We turn to the implementation of the crown of our headdress. To do this, we knit 1 single crochet in each loop. The 1st row is quite tight. Thus, we continue knitting periodically trying on the workpiece. You need to finish the crown when it reaches the height to the ear. At this point, you need to create holes for threading decorative tape. To do this, we knit the last row of the crown with 1 crochet.
7. Next, we move on to the fields.
8. 1 row: in every 10 loop of the previous row we knit 2 single crochets. The next 3 rows are performed without additions, according to the figure.
9. 5 row: we make an addition in the form of 2 columns without a crochet in each 12 loop. We knit the next 3 rows without increments.
10. 9 row: adding 2 columns in each 14 loop. The next 3 rows are unchanged.
11. 13 row: adding 2 columns in each 16 loop to the end of the row. Next, we knit 3 columns without increments. We have formed a slightly flared hat brim. We turn to their strengthening.
12. Cut off a long piece of string. We press it to the last row and carefully tie it with a single crochet. When we come to the end of the row, the fishing line should be cut and its edges connected. To do this, they are melted with a lighter. We cut the thread and carefully hide it inside the headdress. Crochet summer hat is ready!
13. Almost all finished hats do not keep their shape. They can be made tougher in a variety of ways. Usually use starch, sugar syrup. No less effective is the gelatin solution. Take and heat 1 tbsp. water. Pour a bag of gelatin weighing 25 grams into the hot liquid. Mix everything thoroughly. Then add 0.5 tsp to the solution. salt and 4 tbsp. l. 9% vinegar. The liquid should be poured into a large bowl. Then a knitted hat is placed there and allowed to get wet. Next, the product is squeezed out, the water is allowed to drain.
14. We cover the table with a bag or polyethylene. We put a three-liter jar on it. We put a hat on her. Let's give it a shape. We pay special attention to the tulle. Let her dry a little. Then we take off the hat and leave it standing on the polyethylene. Wet the fields with a sponge and smooth them thoroughly. They should lie flat on the table. Let the product dry. After that, the headdress is ready to wear.

Crochet hat: photo

In order to crochet a hat, you need to take a measurement of the girth of the head. Knitting starts from the bottom. Usually, the air loops are closed in a ring, and then additions begin. So they knit until the workpiece reaches the desired size. Then they move on to the crown. It is knitted without additions. For fields, a certain number of double columns should be performed. They will help expand them. Then the fields are knitted without additions until they reach the desired width.
