Today I will teach you how to knit a baby hat. Here you will find a detailed description, as well as a simple and beautiful pattern for children's things. I have already knitted several hats using this pattern and they are all very bright and beautiful. In the photo, my Sonyushka is wearing a bright pink hat and with ruffles made of coral-colored yarn, which are tied with white thread. And we will learn to knit with yellow yarn.

Such a cap can be knitted for newborn girls and boys; without decorations it will be just a cap knitted with knitting needles. A children's hat can be decorated with ruffles, flowers and beads.

We cast on 72 stitches on knitting needles, preferably circular ones (it’s more convenient to knit on them), based on the fact that the number of stitches required for the pattern is a multiple of 4 plus 2 edge loops. As a result, there were 74 loops on the knitting needles.

We knit 7 rows with a 1x1 elastic band (a knit stitch is knitted on the front side, a purl stitch, and on the wrong side, on the contrary, a purl loop is knitted, a knit stitch)

Row 8 is knitted with knit stitches. On the front side there is a row of purl loops on which we will knit ruffles

Drawing for a baby hat

We knit with a pattern according to the pattern 10-12 cm.

Now we need to divide our knitting into 3 approximately equal parts. My hat is small, so I divided the stitches equally (24 stitches each) and marked the back of the hat with blue thread.

Knitting the back of the hat

2nd row: edge (just removed), 22 loops according to the pattern, 2 loops together purl (1 loop from the back of the head + 1 loop from the side) and unfold the knitting

3rd row: edge (just removed), 22 loops according to the pattern, 2 knit loops together behind the back walls (1 loop from the back of the head + 1 loop from the side) and unfold the knitting

I draw your attention to the fact that in the rows of the front side we knit 2 loops together with the front one, and in the rows on the wrong side we knit 2 loops together with the wrong side.

This creates smooth and beautiful transitions from the sides to the back of the head.

When there are 12 loops left on the sides, we begin to decrease the loops on the back of the head. At the end of each row we knit three loops together (2 loops from the back of the head + 1 loop from the side).

When there are 10 loops left on the back of the head, all the loops on the side parts will be closed.

Knitting elastic

Using the same thread, we knit one loop from each edge loop, reached the edge of the knitting, unrolled it and knit a 1x1 elastic band on the side panel, on the back of the head, and pick up loops on the second side panel.

Unroll the knitting again and calmly knit the bottom edge of the cap approximately 2 - 2.5 cm.

We close the loops. To do this, knit 2 stitches together behind the back walls, transfer the loop from the right knitting needle to the left knitting needle (return), knit 2 loops together knitted again and return the loop to the left knitting needle again.

We knit ties for a hat

When there is one loop left on the knitting needle, cast on 4 loops on the side elastic band and knit strings of the required length and cut the thread.

We knit the second knitting

We knit the second tie in the same way.

In this form, the hat is already ready. If you knit the entire hat in stockinette stitch, it will be perfect for boys too.

Decoration of a hat for a girl

But my granddaughter will be born soon, so I decorated the hat with ruffles.

For the ruffle, from each edge loop of the back part and from the purl loops (which we made specifically for the ruffle), we knit facial loops, alternating them with yarn overs (loop, yarn over, loop, yarn over and ending with a loop). We got 1 row of ruffles.

A hat is an integral part of a newborn baby's wardrobe. It protects the small head from drafts and cold. You can knit a beautiful hat with crochet or knitting using the tips and patterns in this article.

Knitting for kids is a pleasure: the result of the work can be seen within a few hours, the yarn for knitting children's clothes is very soft and pleasant, and the colors are delicate and pastel. Small children grow very quickly, which is why they often have to buy new things. Young mothers who know how to knit are lucky in this regard - clothes that no longer fit can either be re-bandaged or knitted new ones; it takes very little time and money. And for those who have just picked up knitting needles, it will be useful to consider several options for knitted hats for newborns, with descriptions.









Newborn babies need to be protected from drafts, wind, and scorching sun, so a knitted hat for a newborn will definitely come in handy at any time of the year.

How to choose yarn

It is better to knit hats for newborns from natural, soft, hypoallergenic yarn, for example:

Not suitable for children's things:

• mohair;
• angora;
• polyamide;
• lurex

Knitting a cap

The cap fits tightly around the baby's head, holds well thanks to the ties, and protects the ears from drafts. Let's try to knit a double-sided cap with knitting needles. This is a very simple model that even a novice needlewoman can handle.


To work, you will need yarn of two colors. Choose the composition based on seasonality: soft wool for winter or cotton for summer.
There is no need for a pattern for this model; knitting is done by alternating stripes of front and back stitch. Abbreviations will be used in the description:

• p – row;
• p – loop;
• ip – purl loop;
• lp – facial loop;
• ig - purl stitch;
• lg – facial surface;
• ts1 – thread of the same color;
• ts2 – thread of a different color.

Now knit as follows:

• cast on 70 loops;
• 1 R (C1) – LP – IP – LP – IP (elastic band 1x1);
• 2 R (C1) - continue to knit the elastic band IP - LP - IP - LP;
• 3 R (C2) - with a thread of a different color LP - IP - LP - IP;
• 4 R (C2) – IP – LP – IP – LP;
• 5, 6 R - two more R elastic bands Ts1.

• 7, 8 R (C2) – IG;
• 9, 10 R (C1) – LH;
• 11, 12 R (C2) – IG;
• 13, 14 R (C1) – LH;
• 15, 16 R (C2) – IG. We break the thread;
• 17 R (C1) – IP. We break the thread.

We turn the working fabric over and divide the loops into two knitting needles, 45 P on the left and 25 on the right 18 R (C1) – 19 LP – 2 P at the same time IP. We turn the working canvas 19 R (C1) – 20 IP – 2 P at the same time IP. The work is turned upside down.




Continue knitting the middle 20 P until there are three P left on the sides. Next, in each P, knit 2 P together on each side in the central part, not forgetting to decrease from the sides. When 7 stitches remain on the knitting needle, close them. All that remains is to tie the strings. This can be done with crochet.


Depending on the yarn chosen, a knitted hat for a newborn can be not only warm in winter, but also light in spring.

Knitting for kids is always a pleasant activity. Things come out quickly due to their small size. You can decorate them however you like: a good reason to give free rein to your imagination. It is important to first learn the rules of knitting for children in the first year of life, and then get to work.

Knitting for newborns, what is important to know

To knit a baby hat with knitting needles, you need to choose the right pattern and materials. The main ones are threads and yarn. The texture of the product also plays a role: it should not be so pretentious as to create discomfort for the child. Decorations must be permanent or firmly sewn on. There are no small parts that are easy for a baby to separate and accidentally swallow or choke on. When children put everything in their mouth, this is not a bad habit, but an instinct to taste things: edible - not edible. You need to remember this feature of kids when choosing decor for a hat.

How to choose yarn

You need to use safe yarn for work. Acrylic threads do not cause allergies, so they are suitable for children. But they are not warm enough. For winter clothes it is better to use wool blend yarn.

Threads need to be chosen of high quality, twisted, and not torn at the slightest stretch. The color is chosen according to the preference of the parents if the hat is knitted for a baby. An older child may himself ask for a hat of a certain shade.

What should be the mating

A children's hat should be knitted without rough seams. The best option is a seamless product. In terms of relief, these include hats with a knitted seam, barely noticeable on the knitted fabric. A too elaborate pattern on the hat can make it uncomfortable for the baby to sleep in the stroller. Cones, dense pom-poms, beads are beautiful details, but not required. It’s better to pay attention to how warm the hat is. You can provide removable jewelry and put it on when the baby is guaranteed to be awake. It is also important to knit a baby hat with knitting needles according to size or growth so that it does not put pressure.

Knitting hat ideas for a newborn

There are many options for knitting a baby hat. From the photographs you can understand what models of hats exist. Both classic in shape and fancy in design, infant headdresses are created by home craftswomen.

How to knit a baby hat with knitting needles

Even beginners can easily complete the task of knitting a hat. There are special patterns for beginners that allow you to master the process of knitting.

Description of the process of knitting hats for babies

For a boy, it is good to knit a hat-helmet or a hood-hat. A girl will suit a flirty round hat. To prevent the headdress from falling off the child, it is better to make it with ears and ties. It is more convenient to knit a baby hat with knitting needles from a wide place with a gradual narrowing and shortening of the loops. Knitting from the bottom is rarely used. Usually these are models that combine knitting and crochet. For beginners, these methods are quite complicated. Many interesting options are knitted with just one knitting needle, including bonnets and hats with ears.

Video lessons

Understanding a process comes faster when you see others doing it. Video tutorials posted on the World Wide Web by craftswomen are an excellent help for beginners. It is enough to watch a couple of videos to understand how to start knitting.

Knitted baby hat - diagrams with description

Let's look at a couple of the most successful patterns for knitting a baby hat using small tricks to help avoid seams. The pattern for boys uses the principles of heel to toe knitting. The girl's pattern is simply knitted in the round on flexible knitting needles.

For boy

Let's get started with the scheme for beginners. The hooded hat is knitted using the “English rib” pattern. Work begins with an ordinary 1 x 1 elastic band, which is used to knit a hollow element. To get started, you will need a cotton thread of the same thickness as the main one. We cast on 103 loops with 3.5 mm knitting needles, after which the main thread is used. Having knitted 4 cm, we unravel the auxiliary thread, putting on the freed loops and working ones one by one. They need to be knitted alternately with the front and back stitches. This creates a hollow hem without a seam.

• We have 1 row of purl and knit stitches ready;
• 2nd row: remove the loop without knitting, repeat 1 p., 1 p. removed with a double crochet without knitting - until the end of the row;
• Row 3: knit 1, repeat purl 1. remove onto a working needle with a double crochet, knit 1 with a double crochet.

Having reached a height of 13 cm, we transfer 37 loops on each side to auxiliary knitting needles. We are left with 29 loops in the middle, which are knitted with the same pattern, and along the edges 1 loop is knitted together, captured from the main and auxiliary knitting needles. These two loops are knitted as one. This needs to be done 37 times until a “corner” is formed and the loops on the auxiliary needles run out. Next, a simple elastic neckline is knitted to a height of 14 cm. A seam can be made at the neckline or a fastener can be made.

For girl

A round hat for a girl is knitted using a simple pattern for beginners. 80 stitches are cast on circular knitting needles (the number of stitches can be calculated more accurately if you knit a sample, measure it and compare it with the table above) and garter stitch is performed to the required height - to the point of transition to knitting the crown. Decrements are made at the crown: through four rows we knit every 7th and 8th loops together. After another four - every 6th and 7th, etc., until we get a reduction to 8 loops. They should be knitted together and the thread should be tightened.

The pumpkin hat is knitted in “slices”. The relief can be obtained by alternating purl stitches (2-3 pieces between the slices) and knit stitches (the surface of the slice). The tail with leaves is knitted with green thread. It can be made separately and sewn to the hat. This way it will look more natural than knitted together with the main “body” of the pumpkin.

It is most convenient for a newborn to wear a cap. This headdress does not turn over, does not come off when the baby tosses and turns, and is held in place well by the ties. On the Internet you can easily find a master class on how to make a children's cap:

• warm for winter walks;
• demi-season - for spring and autumn;
• light summer with frills and openwork pattern.

Openwork caps made of linen threads that are quite stiff are good for babies who can sit. Lying or sleeping in such a cap is bad, as it presses unevenly on the skin and leaves marks. This interferes with the normal blood supply to skin cells and the subcutaneous layer. But flax removes excess heat well and protects from heat.
