Caps with hooks

A crocheted hat with cat's ears looks very touching and cute. You can wear it at any age - and in 2 years, and at 12, and at 22.

In this article, we'll talk about crocheting hats with ears .

How to tie a hat with ears hooks?

Make a cap with ears, crocheted, very simple.

Before you start knitting, consider the color and pattern of the cap. Select the yarn and hook the required thickness. If you do not know which number to take the hook, carefully study the label on the thread - usually manufacturers indicate this information.

We knit a cap with ears hook, starting with the bottom. To do this, make a chain of 5 loops and connect them to a ringlet. All the remaining rows will be knitted in a circle, making at the beginning of each row a loop of lifting. If you lose the beginning of the series - mark it with a colored thread or a pin.

In the ring-base of the cap, we sew 9 stitches of a column without a crochet (grab the chain completely, passing the hook under it). In each row, you need to add loops to get a flat circle. For a child's cap, usually a bottom with a diameter of 12-14 cm is sufficient.

After this, we reduce the addition - we will make them through the series. Periodically trying on the cap on the child, we check whether it is still necessary to expand it. When our workpiece completely covers the top part of the head, we stop adding the loops and knit already along the straight (lateral sides).

Continue knitting until the length of the cap is the size we need.

After that, the beginning and the end of the future ears should be marked with colored threads. The choice of these parameters is a very arbitrary matter. You can tie the ears completely of any width and length.

To tie the ear, fix the thread on the cap-base and tie the first row of the tab with the crochet. After you reach the edge of the eye, turn the cap over and tie the next row from the other side. So, moving back and forth one by one, you fasten the eyelet of the required length.

To make the hat look neat, tie the edges with a column without a crochet or half-tulle.

If you want to crochet a hat with cat's ears, or for example, with the giraffe's ears, Mickey Mouse's ears, a suvenk or any other animal, you need to add another small but very important element.

In our case, these are the ears of the bear cub. We knit them in the form of two small hemispheres. One side of the ears is pressed inward.

Sew the ears to the top of the cap and the eared accessory is ready!

If desired, the ready hat can be decorated with pompons, fringe, tassels, applique or embroidery.

Children's hats with ears, crocheted

There are a lot of options for children's eared hats.

At the heart of any of these hoods is the same scheme - a dome-billet with attached ears of arbitrary length and width attached to it on each side. Volumetric or flat decor on the surface of the cap is not necessary, but most often it becomes the real highlight of the thing.

"Adult" hats with ears hooked on exactly the same principle. The only difference here is the size, that is, the number of typed loops.

As you can see, it's not at all difficult to crochet a children's or a woman's cap with ears. A little time and patience, a skein of yarn and a hook - and now a unique author's thing is ready.
