In this article in detail will be described knitting for newborn hats with knitting needles and mittens. Such a set can be linked very quickly - every thing literally within a few hours. It can be made as a gift to the parents of a newborn child, because these things related to love, will be useful to the kid from the first days of life.

Knitting cap for newborns

• With 3.5 mm spokes, dial the number of loops that will match the size of the baby's head at three months old - then it will last for a long time. It's about 35-37cm. Calculation is made depending on the thickness of the yarn.
• Knit a rectangle with this pattern: alternate the purl and face loop to the end of the row, on the next row, do the same. You will get a bunched knitting. For newborns, the cap should be knitted in such a way that they are very soft and pleasant to the touch. Therefore, be very careful about the choice of yarn. It is desirable to use natural fibers. The products should not have rough joints.

• After you are tying a 4 cm rice pattern, start alternating: 1st row - all eye loops, 2nd row - all purlins. So tie another 5 cm.
• Begin to form the vertex. Scheme of the cap with knitting needles for the child is similar to the knitting pattern of the adult cap : divide the number of loops into 6 parts. Continue to knit, but through a row in each part, tie together 2 eye loops. Thus, the canvas will be reduced by 6 loops in each second row. Gradually there will be only 6 loops, which should be tied together.
• Fix the thread and decorate the cap with decorative elements to your liking.

Some subtleties

Very cute children's hats look with a funny knot on the vertex. How to make it? After the knitting for the newborn's hats is finished with knitting needles, the last 6 loops should not be closed immediately, as in the previous model. Continue to knit the "string" with a stocking knit. On the sides, the canvas will fold, resembling a tube. Tie about 8 cm and close the hinges. Tie a knot.

In addition, this model has a lapel, which is obtained due to the fact that the height of the rectangular part of the cap is increased by the desired amount of lapel. This approach is very practical - in fact, as the child grows, the size of the cap can be adjusted. Also, the lapel is useful if the knitted fabric suddenly stretches out - you do not have to tie a thing.
