VERY FASHIONABLE BEANIE!

The hat is simple to execute, with very simple patterns, but the products turn out simply delightful and, importantly, modern.

Last year there were catalog models of hats for sale like these, mostly from Polish manufacturers, but for the craftswomen, these models are not very complicated. A master class on the earflap hat from ViSpod from the Land of Moms:


I knitted for a head circumference of 56 cm.

So, yarn Lana Gold Alize (240m/100g). Color - dusty rose. I used 1 skein.

Needles No. 3. My knitting density was: 20 stitches - 10 cm.



Let's get started!



Ears: cast on 6 stitches on the needles. Knit in garter stitch, increasing by 1 stitch at the beginning and end of every right side row. I knitted both ears at once - it’s more convenient for me.

When the number of stitches reaches 20, stop increasing stitches and knit the ear to the desired length. I got 17 cm. The width of the ear was 10 cm.



After knitting both ears, we proceed to the main part of the hat.



The stitches will be distributed as follows - for the front part of the hat, you need to cast on 36 stitches + 1 for symmetry = a total of 37 stitches (19 cm). Two ears of 20 stitches each (10 cm). And the back part of the hat 32 stitches + 2 edge stitches (17 cm). In total - 17 + 20 + 37 + 20 + 17 = 111 stitches.



Cast on the first 17 stitches, add the first ear, cast on the central 37 stitches, add the second ear, cast on the last 17 stitches. A total of 111 stitches. Knit all stitches for 4 rows in garter stitch.

Now we proceed to the main pattern - this is "Stars"    The number of stitches is a multiple of 3 + 1 for symmetry + 2 edge stitches. In our case, this is 36*3+1+2= 111.

Continue knitting (I needed 12 cm for my hat depth).

Then we move on to shaping the top of the hat - this is where the fun begins...

Row 1 - all knit (all purl rows are knit stitches) 109 + 2 edge.

Row 2 - 2 together 8 knit - to the end of the row 98 + 2 edge.

Row 3 - 2 together 7 knit - to the end of the row 87 + 2 edge.

Row 4 - 2 together 6 knit - to the end of the row 76 + 2 edge.

Row 5 - 2 together 5 knit - to the end of the row 65 + 2 edge.

Row 6 - 2 together 4 knit - to the end of the row 54 + 2 edge.

Row 7 - 2 together 3 knit - to the end of the row 43 + 2 edge.

Row 8 - 2 together 2 knit - to the end of the row 32 + 2 edge.

Row 9 - 2 together 1 knit - to the end of the row 21 + 2 edge.

Row 10 - 2 together - to the end of the row 11 + 2 edge.







Now we knit the cuff - cast on 35 stitches at the bottom of the front part of our earflap and knit in garter stitch to the desired length (measuring it on yourself as you go).

I got 7 cm. After that, to round the edges of the cuff, I decreased 1 stitch from both sides four times (that is, at the beginning and end of each row I knitted two together). Close the stitches of the cuff.



Now it's time for the flowers

I knitted three flowers and sewed them to the cuff. I sewed a bead in the center of each flower. (This was done later, so it is not visible in the photo).



For the tassels - cut 50 pieces of yarn 30 cm long (this is for two tassels). The number of threads can be varied to your taste and desire. Fold them in half and attach them to the edges of the ears like fringe.

Cast on 6*3 + 1 + 2 edge = 21 stitches and knit the main pattern "Stars" for 4 cm. Close the stitches, sew together.

Put it on the tassel, hiding the places where the fringe is attached. Secure it "permanently" with a few stitches. Repeat the procedure with the second ear... Voilà - the hat is ready!!!
