How does a hat fit with cat's ears? Step-by-step instruction on knitting caps with cat's ears

A hat with cat's ears is quite original and cheerful subject of a winter wardrobe. Such gizmos can decorate themselves with any, even the most dull winter days. They are performed, as a rule, in the technique of crocheting or knitting, so these hats are not only cheerful and warm, but also cozy enough. In addition, there may be a hat with ears feline, fox, squirrel and even with extraterrestrial antennas. Human fantasy has no boundaries. Caps can be with or without strings, by themselves or in tandem with a scarf.

"Eared" hood

A knitted hat with cat's ears can be connected with a scarf, which is made in the same technique. And then you get a kind of very warm hood. Often on the edges of this scarf are pockets for the hands. To do this, it is knitted more truly and wrapped around the edges of the scarf. Such pockets can be decorated, for example, with traces of feline paws. We begin knitting with a cap, which in this case consists of two side halves. This cap fits with the cat's ears with knitting needles. Yarn on the color and other characteristics choose based on their preferences, as well as the characteristics of the future product.

We knit details

We begin with the left half. We collect the necessary number of loops and knit with the liked pattern of 40 rows. Starting with the forty-first row, we proceed to reduce the loops. So, in the forty-first row, remove the two loops at the beginning of the row. The next row we sew without any reduction. In the forty-third row, we remove one loop at the beginning of the row. Again a series without decrements. In the forty-fifth - two more loops. We continue to reduce the loops in the same sequence through the row until sixty rows are tied. In the same way, we untangle the right half of the cap. The only difference is that we reduce the loops not at the beginning of the row, as in the previous detail, but in the end. When you finish each half, leave long threads at the end of the knitting. They will be useful to us at the stage of assembly of the product. After the end of knitting the halves of the cap, a scarf is knitted. To make the item look more interesting, choose another pattern for the scarf. Or, maybe, a thread of another shade.

We collect the parts in one piece

So, all the details are ready. And now our hat with cat's ears should be collected. We begin assembling the halves of the headgear itself. We put them together and connect them together, using one of the halves of long threads left on the edges. We turn the edges of the scarf and sew them on the sides, if you want to make such pockets. If not, then just leave them alone and move on to the next stage. Now we determine the middle of our scarf and combine it with the seam that formed when joining the two halves of the cap. You can even grab a pin in this place, so that in the process of work you do not get unnecessary shifts and deformations. We connect the hat with a scarf, using the thread left at the end of previous works. We get a practically finished product. There remains one important point - the production of ears.

Knit the ears

Since our hat with cat's ears, they must first be tied separately, and then attached to the product. In order to make one ear, we need to create two triangular blanks. For the first, which should be somewhat larger, we type such a number of loops so that the width, which is obtained, completely suits you. This is the basis of the future ear. We send four rows, and then we start decreasing the loops in each odd row one at a time from each edge of the row. Do this until you have one loop left on the spoke. Since the cap with cat's ears, the photo of which you can see in this master class, provides for the presence of two ears, then there must also be two blanks. And the larger and smaller. The smaller piece, as a rule, is knitted from threads of a different color. It can be white, pink, or whatever, suitable for the middle of the ears. Billets of a smaller size are knitted in the same way as larger ones, only we take a smaller number of loops. And, accordingly, will get a smaller number of rows. Well, the part itself will be smaller. Do not forget to leave a long thread at the end of the work.

Collecting ears

Before our cap with cat's ears gets its ears, they need to be collected. Each ear consists of two blanks. One of them is external and the other is internal. To assemble the ears, put the smaller part on the large one so that the underside of the small part is applied to the front side of the large one. Sew it by applying the longest thread that you left behind when you finished your work. Also do the second eye. Having gathered both ears, sew them on your hat in the place where you would like to see them. Thus, a knitted hat with cat ears is ready.

Crocheted crocheted hat

Hats, as you know, can be knit not only with knitting needles, but also with a hook. Therefore, if you are not very friendly with the spokes, then pick up the thread, as well as the hook and boldly get down to work. If you own these tools equally, then this is an excellent reason to diversify your wardrobe. After all, such hats in any case will differ from each other. So, the hat with the cat's ears is already tied with knitting needles. So we proceed to the variant that is executed by the hook. To begin, select the thread and select the hook. If you are not too experienced a knitter and do not know which hook to pick up, do not get discouraged. Pay special attention to the label on your yarn. Usually the thread manufacturer indicates which hook number is best for them.

The process of crocheting. Start

Crochet hooks begin with the fact that five air loops are closed in a circle and knit the rows in a circle, performing at the beginning of each row a lifting loop. This will be the bottom of the future cap. Since this circle should turn out to be flat, then in each row it is necessary to perform an increase in the columns. Knitting is continued until the resulting circle satisfies you in size. After the desired value is reached, additions in each row are no longer needed. And, starting from this moment, they should be carried out through one row. Do not forget to constantly try on the cap to make sure that no additional expansion is required.

The process of crocheting. Completion

As soon as the upper part of the head is covered, the increments are completely removed, and one number of loops are knit all the time to the required length. Now, on the sides, we remove the details that will cover our ears. For this purpose, mark, using threads of contrasting color, those places where these details begin and end. Knit the bars, moving in one direction, then in the other direction, until reaching the desired length. At the end of work, tie the edges of your product with half-tumblers. This will give the cap a more neat look. Now it remains to bind and sew the ears and everything - a hat with cat ears, made in the crocheting technique, is ready.

So the caps are ready. In such winter it is cozy and warm, and also fun. Pleasure with these little things, not only yourself, but also children. And they, like no one, will appreciate all the charm of this idea. Connect all your imagination. Decorate your hats with applique, embroidery, sewn elements or even pompoms. Attach to them funny zavyazochki or interesting buttons. Use bright and unusual yarn, as well as patterns and ornaments. And then you are guaranteed to get a warm, fashionable, and most importantly, a unique item of winter wardrobe.
