This master class with a pattern will teach you how to tie a hat with ear flaps with knitting needles.
We knitted a hat with earflaps of size 56-58 in a few evenings from about 200 grams of semi-woolen yarn in one thread on knitting needles No. 2. To connect the parts, we used hook No. 3.Work order: 1. Make a sketch of the hat. Design the details. Calculate the loops. Knit the hat from four parts - a front wedge, a back wedge (with lapels) and two wedge-shaped ears.2. Let's start knitting the outer parts of the hat. We'll knit them using the simplest garter stitch - knit stitches on the front side of the product and purl stitches on the back side.We will count the rows by the edge loops (somore convenient), that is, we will count two rows as one. For the largest back wedge, we cast on 65 loops. We knit 36 rows (counting by the edge rows). We begin to decrease. On each side, we close two loops in turn until there are ten loops left on the knitting needle. We close the last ten loops one on each side, so that the top of the wedge turns out to be more streamlined.For the front wedge, cast on 60 stitches.Next, we knit it in the same way as the back wedge. We also perform decreases in the same way. For the ear, we cast on 30 loops. We knit 46 rows (counting by the edge rows). We perform decreases. On each side, we close one loop at a time.The external parts are ready.3. Knit the inner parts with a 3 x 2 elastic band. That is, by alternating three front loops with two back loops on the front side of the work. Knit the back rows according to the pattern. The number of loops for the internal parts is the same as for the external ones. We decrease the loops in the same way.4. Fold the top pieces with the lining in pairs, with the inside facing inward, and crochet them together with half-columns along the entire contour, connecting the pieces into four two-layer parts of the future hat. It is important to always do the binding on one side for all the pieces. We did it on the front side. That is why the edge on the back is more embossed.5.Place the back wedge with the side (eye) with the right sides facing inward and use a hook to tie them together with half-columns on one side. Finish the seam, leaving the last ten loops (edge) of the back wedge not connected to the eye. Connect the second eye to the back wedge in the same way. 6. We connect the front wedge to the ears in the same way, but leave fifteen edge loops at the bottom.7. Tie the hat with half-columns from the front side along the entire top edge.8. Sew the lapels into the seams where the front and back wedges with ears are stitched. 9. The hat is ready.The result is a very warm and cute two-layer knitted earflap hat!
