I am posting a description of the braided hat and some tips and tricks for knitting it.
The pattern is simple, thanks to it the hat is very warm, double, holds its shape perfectly and creates volume.
And so, the first thing you need to decide on is the style. What type of hat suits you? On the head or a little more curvy? Or does he take it at all?
The number of increases after the elastic band will depend on this
The braid can be different: 2 by 2 (cross of 4 loops, pattern is a multiple of 4), 3 by 3 (cross of 6 loops, pattern is a multiple of 6), 4 by 4 and so on.
Here is a standard 3 by 3 braid pattern. Don’t forget, if we knit on circular needles, there are no edge needles, i.e. the pattern is simply a multiple of 6 in the case of 3 by 3 braid knitting.
We choose the yarn, based on this choice, we also choose the type of braid.
Let's say here the yarn is Nako Arctic 100 grams/100 meters, the braid is 4 by 4.
This model is Harmony yarn... kind of like Vita. Braided 4 by 4. Model on the head.
This Lanagold 800 in 4 threads, knitted with a gradient, 6 by 6 braid, double elastic.
Have you decided on the model and yarn? Then we move on to knitting samples. We need 2 samples: the pattern itself and the elastic band.
We measure and calculate the knitting density in samples. When casting on loops, we focus on the elastic pattern!
The “Braided” pattern tightens the fabric very tightly, so after the elastic it is necessary to make increases, even if the hat is on the head. And if you want a fluffy hat, there will be a lot of extras.
Now I will explain the principle using the example of the first, black, hat.
So, yarn Nako Arctic 100/100, OG 56 cm. It took a little less than 200 grams.
We cast on 96 loops, knit on circular knitting needles No. 5 (40 cm knitting needles) a 2 x 2 elastic band (knit 2, purl 2). Here, be guided by your taste, my elastic band is usually 7 cm. Next, we begin to increase. Increases by anyone in a convenient way: either we pull a loop from a crossed broach, or we knit 2 loops from one, see for yourself.
If we want a hat on the head: we make increases every 3 loops.
If we want a fuller hat: we make increases every 2 loops! That is: 2 knits, increase, 2 knits, increase. This is exactly our case. As a result, we have 144 loops on our knitting needles.
If we want it even more magnificent, then there is an increase through each loop; if we knit a take, then we knit 2 from each loop!
We knit several front rows(5-6, not important), move on to the pattern.
- * leave 4 loops on an additional knitting needle before work, knit 4 loops, then knit the loops from an additional knitting needle * and so on until the end of the row. (Be sure to mark the first stitch of the row with a marker!)
- 6 rows with knits
— 4 knit stitches * leave 4 loops on an additional knitting needle while working, knit 4 loops, then knit loops from an additional knitting needle * repeat until the end of the row (do not forget to mark the first loop of the row with a marker)
Knit 6 rows again. That is, we have a cross in every 7th row.
So we knit to the desired depth. We will start decreasing somewhere 4-5 cm before the end of the cap, keep this in mind.
Decrements: after the last cross completed, knit 1 row. In the next row we will start decreasing.
1. We knit loops 2 together in those places where we have loops at the bottom of the cross, that is, it turns out:
*Knit 4, purl 2 together, purl 2*.
2. *Knit 4, purl, purl 2 together*
3. *Knit 4, purl 2 together*
4. *Knit 2, purl 2 together, purl 1*
5. *knit 2, purl 2 together*
6. *knit all 2 stitches together,” continue this way until there are 20 stitches left on the needles.
Break the thread and thread it into a needle for stitching. knitted products, thread the thread through the remaining open loops, pull it off, then pass the needle through these loops one more time and pull it off again.
Well, decorate it to your liking.
Thank you all for your attention
When the cold weather comes, everyone strives to quickly warm up, but at the same time look beautiful and fashionable. For several years now, hats with various patterns have remained in fashion. Beautiful designs change and improve every year, and therefore it is sometimes difficult to keep track of trends. But basically the patterns come from ordinary braids, where you need to know how to make a binding. It's not difficult, but you need to have patience and be careful. A hat with a braided pattern is very easy to knit, but at the same time it looks beautiful, rich and is quite warm.
Even someone who is just starting to knit can handle this pattern. At first glance, it may seem that such drawings are complicated due to their binding, but if the scheme is described in detail and the beginner sticks to it, then the result will be excellent.
Decorate with a fur pompom
The braided hat is very beautiful and light, but at the same time keeps you warm. Due to this pattern, the product holds its shape for a long time and at the same time appears more voluminous. In this master class we will look in detail at how to knit a hat with a weaving pattern, and with the description the task will seem easy and even a beginner will be able to cope with it.
What we need to prepare:
- thread "Pechorda" 50 g;
- knitting needles number 4 and 6;
Now let's start knitting. To do this, we cast on 120 buttonholes and 2 more edge buttonholes on the knitting needles, it should be 56 cm if you knit a double elastic band. 1st row: you need to remove the edge buttonhole, * front buttonhole, remove one buttonhole without knitting it, purl, remove another one * but the edge buttonhole should be knitted purlwise.
2nd row: remove the edge buttonhole, * front buttonhole, one must be removed without knitting, purl, remove the next one and not knit it * - repeat this until the very end of the row. Again, knit the edge purl.
It is important that in this row it is necessary to knit those buttonholes that we did not knit in the first one. The height of the elastic band should be 6 cm.
Now we switch to number 6 knitting needles, which we will use to knit the pattern. Once the elastic is knitted, we add 12 more buttonholes for a total of 134 buttonholes. Let's start knitting the pattern.
1st row: we knit with only front buttonholes. 2nd row: now we knit with purls. Next, we knit the 3rd-5th rows with knit stitches, and knit the 4th and 6th rows with purl stitches. 7th row: knit the edge buttonhole, * transfer 4 buttonholes to an additional needle and leave them in front of the product, then 4 knit buttonholes, after the 4 buttonholes that were transferred, you need to knit them with knit buttonholes. 8th row: knit purl stitches. 9th row: we knit the front buttonholes.
Now we alternate rows up to 12. Already from the 13th row we need to start everything from the first row. We make a row of elastic 2 by 2. This will make 13 cm. Next we need to make decreases after the pattern: knit 2 knits, purl, now we combine two buttonholes, only knit purl. Elastic band again, height 1 cm and decrease the buttonholes: we knit all the purl buttonholes, two together, but after a row we combine the two front buttonholes, and on the next row we knit them on the front side, we knit two together through one buttonhole. The decrease continues for 5 cm. We pass the remaining buttonholes through the thread and tighten them, and pull the remaining thread to the wrong side. Then we take a fur pompom and sew it to the hat, and now our product is ready, you can wear it.
According to fashion trends
This hat is very fashionable, in addition, the designers assure that this model will also be in trend this winter. Usually branded items cost big money, so many needlewomen, saving their money, knit such things on their own. Things you make yourself are more valuable, especially since you can add something of your own, then such a headdress will become completely unique.
What you need to prepare:
- semi-woolen threads;
- knitting needles number 4 and an additional knitting needle;
- scissors;
- needle.
For a head circumference of 56-58, cast on 70 buttonholes on circular knitting needles. Now we knit a regular elastic band 2 by 2 14 rows. When the elastic band is knitted, we must knit 3 rows with front buttonholes, while adding 24 loops. The pattern below shows the knitting pattern for the pattern. In this case, we remove three buttonholes onto an additional knitting needle in front of the product. We knit three loops, and then we knit three buttonholes from an additional knitting needle. And so we knit the entire row. Next, we knit 5 rows with facial buttonholes. And then we make the binding on the other side.
After the second crossing, the pattern will become clearer. And so we knit to the required height, approximately 15 cm. And only then we begin to make decreases. During the binding period, using an additional knitting needle, we make a reduction behind the product. And after 5 rows you need to remove them from the main fabric. After that we knit a few more rows, and then knit 2 buttonholes together for 5 rows. At the moment when there are only 12-18 buttonholes, use a thread to tighten everything and pull the remaining thread inside the hat. All that remains is to sew the hat with the same thread, and everything is ready.
Do you already have a stylish hat for the winter? If you haven’t had time to buy one yet, go knit one, then you a hat will do knitting needles with beautiful pattern braid - description of knitting below.
We will need:
Yarn Pekhorka “Northern” 50 g
Knitting needles No. 4, No. 6
First we knit a double elastic band using knitting needles No. 4
- 6 rows (about 2 cm):
We cast on 120 loops on the knitting needles, 2 edge stitches (in a double elastic band this turns out to be 55-56 cm)
1st row - remove the edge stitch, *knit 1 stitch, remove 1 stitch without knitting, purl 1 stitch, remove 1 stitch without knitting*, knit the edge stitch purlwise;
2nd row - remove the edge stitch, *knit 1 stitch, remove 1 stitch without knitting, purl 1 stitch, remove 1 stitch without knitting*, knit the edge stitch purlwise (in this row we knit the loops that were in the first the row was removed without knitting);
** - knit to the end of the row
We knit the main pattern “Braided”:
Knitting with knitting needles No. 6
After the elastic in the first row, add 12 more stitches, making a total of 134 stitches with edge stitches. We knit:
Row 1 - all knits,
Row 2 - purl everything, then the pattern itself.
The pattern consists of 12 rows:
Row 1 - 1 p. edge, 4 sts knit, * 4 sts transferred to auxiliary needle and left at work, 4 sts knitted, 4 sts knitted from auxiliary needle *, purl 1 p. edge;
Row 2 - purl all;
Row 3 - all knits;
Row 4 - purl all;
Row 5 - all knits;
Row 6 - purl all;
Row 7 - 1 p. edging, * 4 sts are transferred to the auxiliary needle and left before work, knit 4 sts, knit 4 sts from the auxiliary knitting needle *, purl 1 p. edge;
Row 8 - purl all;
Row 9 - all knits;
Row 10 - purl all;
Row 11 - all knits;
Row 12 - purl all;
Repeat from row 1
In the hat described, the pattern is repeated twice, i.e. 24 rows 2 rows from the third = 26 rows of pattern. With Pekhorka “Severnaya” yarn it turns out to be 13 cm.
Then we switch to knit 2 stitches. x 2 p. purl..
In the first row after the pattern, we knit decreasing loops in this way: 2 knit stitches, 1 purl stitch, two purl stitches together. We knit 1 cm with an elastic band and begin to decrease the loops: we knit two together with all the purl loops, through a row we knit two together with all the front loops, in the next rows on the front side we decrease through one loop.
Decrease rows by 5 cm.

Knitted hats are not going to lose ground and still remain in trend. Not everyone can afford branded items, but this is not a reason to refuse the model you like. Having some knitting skill, you can create exclusive item with your own hands. Lately, knitted hats with a braided pattern have become especially popular. A diagram with a description will help you understand all the intricacies of knitting and avoid possible mistakes in your work.
Features of the woven pattern
Braid is a type of plait. Its basis is the front stitch, on which the loops are periodically overlapped. These elements are staggered relative to each other. The drawing comes out quite voluminous. It holds its shape well, and the knitted fabric is dense and very warm.
The pattern of the Braided pattern with knitting needles is very simple, and the repeat consists of only six loops. The elements are knitted every sixth row, but taking into account the offsets, the complete repetition of the pattern occurs every 12 rows.
Knitting is carried out according to this principle:
The described option is not the only correct one. There are many variations of this pattern. For overlapping, not only six loops can be used, but also two, four, eight, etc. The more loops involved, the more embossed the product will be. You can also change the size of the gap between crossings, that is, the number of rows of regular satin stitch. As it increases, the broken line of the drawing becomes smoother.
The braided pattern is universal. It is great for knitting women's, men's and children's items. It appears only on one side of the canvas, but visually makes it double, therefore warmer. Therefore, this knitting is suitable for creating winter clothes.
You can knit braid not only in rotating rows in two directions, but also in a spiral using stocking or circular knitting needles. The process does not become more complicated.
Preparatory work
First you need to decide on the shape of the future braided hat. Whether it will be tight-fitting, spherical or baggy depends on the shape of the face and personal preferences. This affects thread consumption. For a regular model you will need about 200 g. It is advisable to choose woolen or combined yarn. It can be variegated or plain - with braided knitting, both options look good.
Like any cable knitting, the pattern used significantly tightens the fabric. Therefore, you should first knit several rows for example to calculate the knitting density. Since in addition to braided knitting, a 1 by 1 elastic band will also be used, the sample should
both of these patterns are present. It is better to perform them on separate canvases to make it more convenient to determine the difference in density. It will need to be compensated by adding the missing number of loops. Before starting calculations, it is advisable to wash both samples.
After determining the density of the pattern, calculate how many loops are needed to start working. You should focus on the previously knitted elastic band; the number of loops should be even. To do this, you need to know the head circumference of the future owner of a fashionable hat. On average, it is 55 cm. After all these manipulations, you can proceed directly to knitting. For work you will need this set:
The work will not take much time. In just a couple of evenings you can make a braided hat with knitting needles.
Master class on knitting
As an example, let's look at the process of creating a women's hat using the rotary method. Blue Alize yarn is used in two folds and stocking needles. The volume of the product is 56 cm, the total height is 21 cm.
Headband and main part
The density of the elastic is 1.25 loops per centimeter, therefore, for knitting you will need 70 loops plus a pair of edge loops. They should be cast on using needles No. 4. Further The order of the work is as follows:
Knitting in the round is done according to the same principle, only edge stitches are not required for the work and all stitches, without exception, are knitted with knit stitches. To close the cast-on row into a ring, it is recommended to pick up one auxiliary loop and pull it through the first. This way the transition will become invisible.
Bottom design
In order for the hat to look neat and presentable, special attention should be paid to working on its bottom. When knitting unfolded and circular fabric you should proceed like this:
The described method of forming the bottom of a hat is suitable for knitting a braid with a repeat of 6 loops. If 8 or 10 loops are involved in the crossover, then the cuts must be made differently. We begin to make decreases after knitting the next overlap in those places that are behind the work:
- 1st r. decreases - 4 knit, 2 purl together, 2 purl;
- 2nd r. and all even ones - according to the drawing without decreases;
- 3rd r. - knit 4, purl 1, purl 2 together;
- 5th r. - knit 4, knit 2 with one purl stitch;
- 7th r. - knit 2, knit 2 together, purl 1;
- 9th r. - knit 2 together, knit 1 and purl;
- 11th r. and the remaining odd ones - two together, front one;
- 12th r. and the remaining even ones - purl 2 together.
We throw the remaining loops (about 10 pieces) onto the working thread and tighten. We make a back seam and close the end of the thread.
Various options for braided hats
The headband of the cap can be knitted with a double elastic band or some other knitting material. An alternative to such edging would be a lapel. To create it, simply lengthen the rim to the desired size, for example, by half.
A very popular model of knitted headdress is takori. It is distinguished by the presence of a double lapel and is most often performed with an English elastic band. But a knitted braided hat can also be given this shape. It is enough to knit about 15 cm with an English elastic so that it is enough for a double hem. The rest of the work is carried out according to the principle described above.
The hat can be decorated in several colors. This is more suitable for children's and bright youth options. Braids with a color gradient look beautiful. To create it, special yarn is used. Desired effect you can achieve it yourself. To work, you need to choose fairly thin threads in several folds. At regular intervals, you should remove one thread of the main color, adding a thread of a different shade. The result will be a smooth transition.
The finished hat is decorated to your liking. Quite discreet options can be equipped with some kind of logo printed on a small patch. A fur or thread pompom is often placed on the top of the product. The headband and the main part of the headdress are decorated with buttons, rhinestones, crocheted flowers, a scattering of beads. The option for a girl looks interesting when a narrow line is stretched along the rim. satin ribbon, the edges of which are tied at the side with a flirty bow. But all this is not at all necessary, because even without any decorations, the braided hat looks simply amazing.
Attention, TODAY only!
The variety of knitted hats in our time no longer surprises anyone. But often this difference lies in the patterns with which one or another hat is knitted. Getting a very beautiful and feminine hat is not as difficult as you think. A well-chosen pattern, delicately colored yarn and a little effort will help you get not only an unusual and exclusive accessory, but also a lot of pleasure in the process of creating it. Stylish hat braided pattern looks very impressive thanks to this original pattern, and It will also be warm and windproof in cold weather. Therefore, there is no need to talk once again about the advantages of a wicker hat. A master class on creating such a wardrobe detail is discussed in the article and will help you during your work.
You will need:
-Yarn 50g (pekhorka “Northern”, or another similar plan);
-Knitting needles No. 4 and 6.
Using knitting needles No. 4 we knit an elastic band.
On the knitting needles we cast on 120 loops + 2 edge stitches. We will have a double elastic band, and 120 loops will create 55-56 cm.
In the first row we knit 1 edge, *knit 1, slip 1, purl 1, slip 1*, repeat until the last edge.
Second row: edge 1, *knit 1, slip 1, purl 1, slip 1*, repeat until edge. In the second row we will knit the loops from the first row, which were removed without knitting.
We knit an elastic band 2 cm high.
Now you can start knitting the braided pattern. The schematic description is discussed below.
We switch to knitting needles No. 6, adding 12 loops. Now we have 134 loops on our knitting needles.
In the first row all stitches are knitted with knit stitches, and the second row is knitted with purl stitches.
So we begin the braided pattern, which consists of 12 rows.
1st row: 1 edge, knit 4, * transfer 4 loops to an additional knitting needle and leave in work, knit 4, 4 loops with an additional knitting needle *, repeat until the edge.
We knit rows 2, 4, 6 purl.
3, 5 – facial.
7p.: 1 chrome, *4 transfer to an additional needle, leave before knitting, 4 knits, 4 knits with additional needles*, 1 chrome.
8, 10, 12 – purl.
9, 11 – facial.
We knit this pattern as much as needed, repeating it from the first row.
In this braided hat with knitting needles, which you could read in the article, the braided pattern is repeated twice.
We get 13 cm.
Now we will knit the elastic band 2p*2 knits.
After the pattern, we’ll start decreasing: knit 2, purl 1, purl two. together.
We knit with an elastic band of 1 cm and make decreases: two purls. We knit the loops together purlwise.
Alternately, one row - all knit together, two also knit.
Subsequently, we decrease on the front side of the fabric through one loop.
We make such decreases of 5 cm.
In this article, you looked at a knitted braided pattern, a pattern with a description for a hat that will be an excellent addition to your wardrobe. You can achieve interesting and exclusive accessories by taking yarn of different colors and creating a gradient. It depends on your personal preferences, but a hat with a braided pattern will look great either way.
