Knitting method of boy's western hat

The knitting method of boys' western-style hats is as follows:

1, material:

Knitting needles (circular needles or double-headed needles are recommended),

Wool (choose wool suitable for season and color),

Hat size measuring tools (such as soft ruler).

2. Step:

Measure the head circumference: measure the boy's head circumference with a hat size measuring tool or a soft ruler to determine the size of the hat.

Selection of stitch size and wool: according to the size of the head circumference, choose the appropriate knitting stitch size and corresponding wool. Generally speaking, larger size and thicker wool will weave looser and thicker hats, while smaller size and thinner wool will weave tighter and lighter hats.

Start knitting: match the number of needles on the knitting needle with the boy's head circumference. Usually, 40 to 60 stitches a stitch is a good starting point.

3. Knitting hats: Start knitting hats with the knitting method you choose.

The first row: thread the wool through each stitch with the initial number of stitches to form a circle. Next, stitch each stitch in turn to form the first stitch.

Follow-up thread: according to the knitting method you choose (such as plain knitting, knitting or knitting pattern, etc.) ), continue to knit hats. You can choose monochrome or multicolor wool and try different textures and patterns.

Knitting hat height: according to the hat height that boys like, the number of pinholes is gradually increased or kept the same when knitting. You can determine whether you need to increase or decrease the number of knitting lines by measuring the height of the hat or trying it on.

Finishing: After finishing the height of the hat, cut the wool with scissors and leave enough length. Pass the rest of the wool through the eye of the needle in the last row and tie it tightly. Then, hide the wool in the hat.

Tidy up: straighten the hat, adjust the shape and edge to make it look neat.
