The bonnet is an integral part of the wardrobe of any newborn, because protecting the head and the tender fontanel is the paramount task that these special headwear with ties allow to accomplish. These hats for newborns can be purchased, or you can knit yourself using knitting needles. This is what we will do, and help with this scheme and description.
How to tie a bonnet for newborns: schemes with a description
There are many models of bonnets, as well as methods for knitting them. You can knit a simple bonnet, or you can decorate a baby hat for newborns with ruffles, ears, pompons. The choice of yarn when knitting a cap for babies is also very important: the threads should be natural, but should not soar and prick. It is important to remember that under a cap made of wool yarn, you still need to wear another cap - made of thin cotton.
Master class for beginners
Knitting a bonnet with knitting needles for beginners should be a pleasure, so the best option would be to start with a simple model. Consider how a cap for newborns fits with knitting needles from 0 to 3 months. However, if you recalculate the loop, you can associate this for older kids.
The main part of the bonnet is connected with a simple openwork pattern according to the pattern, but you can use other fine-knitted openwork patterns or the front surface. Along the edges of the bonnet, a trim strip tied with a garter stitch. Laces made of yarn are used as ties.
The size:
for a head circumference of 38 cm.
Materials for work:
- yarn (50% wool, 50% acrylic, 392 m / 100 g) blue - 25 g;
- knitting needles number 2 and number 2.5.
Knitting density of the main knitting:
Pg = 2.18 loops in 1 cm.
Pattern scheme and knitting method:
The pattern repeat is four loops in width and eight rows in height. For a sample of the pattern, the number of loops is a multiple of 4 plus 1 loop and plus 2 edge loops.
1st and 5th row: all loops are facial;
2 row and all even rows: all loops are wrong;
3 row: 2 front, * yarn, 2 loops, knit together with a slope to the right, 2 front *, yarn, 2 loops, knit together with a slope to the right, 1 front;
7 row: 2 front, * 2 front, yarn, 2 loops, knit together with a slope to the right *, 3 front.
Ninth row fits in the same way as the first and so on.
Loop calculation:
The knitting method for this bonnet involves a head circumference of 38 cm - approximately 1 month old. However, the head circumference in children varies widely. If you are knitting a bonnet for discharge, tie a smaller bonnet. The average head circumference in children at birth is 34.1 cm.
In order for the cap to fit the baby in size, it is necessary to tie the sample with the main viscous (in this case it is a simple openwork knitting), and determine the density of knitting. In our case, the horizontal knitting density (Pg) is 2.18 loops in the 1st cm. To build a cap pattern, you need one measure - the girth of the head (Og). We will knit a cap on a girth of the head equal to 38 cm. In the calculations we will use a measure in half size, half the girth of the head: Pergola = 19 cm.
Cap pattern:
We will start knitting on behalf of (line AB). The segment AB is calculated by the formula:
AB = 1.5 x Sgol + Pr = 1.5 x 19 + 6 = 34.5 cm
where Pr = 6 cm - the increase is the same for all sizes.
Now let's calculate the number of loops that need to be put on the knitting needles.It is equal to: AB x Pg + 2 edge loops = 34.5 x 2.18 + 2 = 78 loops (rounded to even). Pg - horizontal knitting density.
Part Width (segment AA1 = BB1):
AA1 = 0.5 x Sgol + Pr = 0.5 x 19 +2 = 11.5 cm.
Pr - increase, equal to 2 cm for all sizes.
Occipital Width (DS)
DS = 0.5 x Sgol = 0.5 x 19 = 9.5 cm. Define the number of loops: 9.5 x Pg = 9.5 x 2.18 = 20 loops (rounded to even).
Working process:
We collect 78 loops on knitting needles (No. 2) and knit a 2 cm wide (10 rows) strap with a garter stitch. Next, go to the number 2.5 knitting needle and knit 9.5 cm of the main viscous (33 rows). We make edge loops with a pigtail.
We distribute 78 loops into three parts so that in the middle we get 20 loops (occipital part). Lateral parts are obtained in 29 loops. The occipital (central) part will be knitted with facial stitch. In the 34th row (the wrong side), we begin to knit the back of the cap as well as the heel of the toe. The loops of the central part continue to knit further, and the loops of the side parts are gradually reduced, attaching them to the loops of the central part. So, we knit the loops of the first and central parts. We knit the last loop of the central part of the classic wrong side together with the first loop of the third part and turn the work over to the front side. When turning the first loop, remove it as an edge for the front wall, the thread at work, the movement of the knitting needle from ourselves (front to back). On the front side, we knit the last loop of the central part together with the first loop of the side of the front. An important nuance: we knit these loops behind the back wall (the "grandmother" front loop). We turn the work to the wrong side and remove the edge for the front wall, the thread before work, the movement of the knitting needle from ourselves (front to back) .Thus, we knit the loops of only the central part and reduce the loops from the side parts.
At the bottom, the occipital part narrows by 1 - 1.5 cm. On either side. In our case, this is 3 loops on either side. Having tied half of the nape, we will make uniform reductions in the front rows. We reduce the loops by knitting two loops together with a slope to the right at the beginning (after the first loop) and at the end of the row (before the last loop). The photo shows the rows in which we make the reduction.
Having tied the back of the head, we break the thread, we transfer the open loops of the central part to the auxiliary knitting needle or pin. We take knitting needles No. 2 and knit the bar on the bottom of the bonnet with a garter stitch. The hinges of the side parts are lifted one of each edge. The width of the strap is according to the model. We have about 1.5 cm, these are 7 rows. Now you need to make the ties. You can watch the master class "How to make a tie for a hat." In our case, the tie in the finished form 25 cm, the thread in 6 additions. For one tie you will need three strands 75 cm long.
For girl
Among the many similar models of caps for girls, one can single out a method that allows you to get an interesting result, namely, a combined type of knitting: knitting and crocheting. This method allows you to get a really beautiful hat for newborns, combining simple knitting and beautiful openwork crochet motifs.

For boy
For boys, you can also tie a beautiful bonnet. Applying an interesting knitting pattern and successfully choosing yarn, you get a real work of art. We will figure out how to knit a cap for a newborn with knitting needles quickly and with pleasure.
The size:
0-3 months.
Head circumference:
37-40 cm.
Materials for work:
- 1 skein of AlizeBabyWool yarn (40% wool, 40% acrylic, 20% bamboo, 50 g. / 175 m.);
- circular and stocking knitting needles 2.5 mm.
Important: remove the edge loops at the beginning of the row and at the end of the row knit the wrong side.
Working process:
Main part
Sew 85 stitches with circular knitting needles.
Knit with an elastic band 1 * 1 with edge loops - 2.5 cm.
Next, start knitting with the main pattern:
1st row (front side): chrome. loop, knit facial to the last loop, chrome. the loop.
2nd row (out side): chrome. loop, knit purl to the last loop, chrome. the loop.
3rd row (face. side): chrome.loop, * 1 faces., 1 out., repeat from * to the last 2 loops, 1 faces., chrome. the loop.
4th row (face. side): chrome. loop, * 1 out., 1 faces., repeat from * to the last 2 loops, 1 out., chrome. loop - i.e. knit stitches in a pattern.
Next, repeat 1-4 rows for the pattern, only 8 times. Now the height of knitting is 10.5 cm from the typesetting edge.
Occipital part
Knit a row of facial loops. Next knit:
1st row (out side): chrome. loop, 55 out., 2 together out., turn the work.
2nd row (persons. side): remove the loop, 27 persons., 2 persons together., turn the work.
3rd row (out side): remove the work, 27 out., 2 together out., turn the work.
4th row (faces. side): remove the loop, 27 faces., 2 faces together., turn the work.
Repeat 3-4 rows until you reduce 12 loops on each side of the central 29 loops = 16 loops left on each side.
Next to the reduction of the side loops add reduction of the central part of the work.
1st row (out side): remove the loop, knit the wrong ones until the reduction loop, 2 together out., turn the work.
2nd row (faces. side): remove the loop, 1 faces., 2 faces together. to the left, knit with faces to the last 3 loops in front of the decrease loop, 2 faces together. to the right, 1 persons., 2 persons together., turn the work.
3rd row (out side): remove the work, knit with the wrong ones until the reduction loop, 2 together out., turn the work.
4th row (faces. side): remove the loop, knit the faces to the loop of reduction, 2 persons together., turn the work.
Repeat 1-4 rows, thus, in addition to the side rows, lowering the central loops in each 4th row, until there are 13 loops in total on the knitting needles.
Tear and hide the thread. Remove the loops on the extra knitting needle.
Strapping bottom
Raise 22 loops along the bottom of the bonnet to the deferred loops, knit 13 faces. stitches with extra knitting needles, raise 22 stitches on the other side along the bottom of the bonnet = 57 stitches on the knitting needles.
Knit stitches with front stitch, starting from the wrong side - 7 rows.
Track. row (faces. party): out. loops.
Knit again with a smooth surface, starting from the wrong side - 8 rows.
Wrap the bound edge in the wrong direction, hem, while closing the loops.
Ties
With knitting needles, raise 5 loops.
Knit 3 rows of front surface.
Then knit: * 5 faces., Move the stitches to the other end of the knitting needle, repeat from * to the desired length of the cord. Close the loop. Repeat the tie on the other side.
Final work
Hide the ends, steam the back of the head (do not steam the main pattern!).
