Cap with a pattern of braids

Knitwear is always popular. And even a beginning needlewoman can knit a soft and warm hat in one evening. Especially beautiful and original look models, made of embossed braids.

The cap may be completely tied with braids, but sometimes this pattern adorns only part of the headdress. An example of this - knitted hats with a lapel. Often the lapel is knitted separately with a large oblique in the middle, while the product itself is made simply viscous.

In the form of a braid, caps can be executed: usually such models are chosen by young girls who are not afraid of fashionable experiments. Often this detail adorns children's hats.

Hats with Aran patterns decorated with fur fragments are popular with many women of fashion (fur can be natural or artificial). In some models, inserts from other textures are used, for example, for tying the edge.

Braids can be connected to a simple beanie cap, tight-fitting head. Cap-toe, fashionable lately, looks beautiful with a pattern of braids. Moreover, often in the manufacture of this product uses a horizontal (cross) knitting.

This exquisite pattern is also suitable for knitting berets, at which the canvas initially expands and then narrows). A beret can also be cut from several separately connected wedges, then the embossed braids will rush towards the center.

The last few seasons are widely sought-after caps with earflaps, they have already become a familiar attribute of urban style. Such products are often made Aran viscous.

A knitted hat with a pompon looks cute, especially if it is made of natural fur. The “braids” pattern can also be decorated with extravagant knitted helmets, which extraordinary young ladies wear, as well as original hats with ears. This relief pattern is also appropriate for a hat with a visor, while the visor itself is made with an elastic band, stocking or garter stitch.

Pattern "Spit" has many varieties. Braids are large and small, voluminous and relatively flat, solid and contrasting. If you choose a hat with such a pattern, then focus on your facial features: the larger they are, the larger the drawing should be.

The distance between the braids (usually the back loops) can be different - in accordance with this they are rare and frequent on the canvas. In addition, it is necessary to take into account that the Arani pattern, because of its bulk, requires a greater consumption of yarn (20% more than a smooth canvas). The important point is the transition from the gum cap (if it is, of course, available) to the main relief pattern. If you leave the number of loops unchanged, then the canvas will get tightened, and the cap will be tight. Experienced needlewomen after the gum add a pair of loops on each harness.

In general, the braid is formed by simply crossing a certain number of loops (an auxiliary needle or a usual pin is used for this purpose). The harnesses can be of various sizes: 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, etc. The large volumetric braid (also called wide, triple or royal) consists of three strands, each of which usually has up to 7 loops. Two of the three harnesses intersect at a certain distance.

Standard double braids (of the two bundles) can, in turn, be combined with each other - this is how a complex braid turns out (the intersection in each group occurs at the same distance in opposite directions.

The crossed loops form diamonds after further expansion. Also, when knitting hats, the principle of formation of harnesses is used to get a “grid” - with one face loop crossed with one of the back, forming smooth diagonal lines.

Let us name some more popular Arani patterns: “herringbone” (inverted garland of braids), “eight crossed loops”, rhomboid braids (simple pattern for children's knitting), bow braids (also suitable for children's things). An interesting pattern - interrupted braids, is a neat fragments, similar to the buckles for belts, as if threaded through ribbons. In the “fantasy braids” pattern, the two braids gradually merge into one, and then split into two again.

As a pattern for autumn caps, openwork braids are popular - voluminous cords, combined with small holes, which are formed when using loops with nakida. The openwork can be located inside the braid or on its edge, openwork curls or petals can depart from the braid - creative imagination here is limited only by the skill of the needlewoman. An interesting pattern is a lace garland of braids.

Caps with braids knit in different colors. These are mainly monochromatic items, especially the Aran pattern is advantageous and looks on a white canvas of smooth threads (as well as on other light shades). Interesting gradient products - when one shade smoothly turns into another (for example, pink through white - in blue, or purple through blue - in white). Some needlewomen knit colored braids on a contrasting canvas.

Choosing the color of a knitted hat, you should focus on your complexion and hair color. Red or pink will visually add a blush and refresh the skin. White color will set off dark skin and emphasize pale even more.

Dark-haired girls should not wear a black hat - it looks boring. Better stay in burgundy or purple hue. Red-haired young women to face knitted hats of gray and blue tones.

The braid pattern is most spectacularly obtained from thick yarn - first of all, it is natural wool (especially high-quality merino or alpaca). If you want a more budget option - choose blended options, acrylic or dense microfiber. Warm mohair hats with Aran patterns are especially cozy and homely. Note that from thin threads (cotton, viscose), such a pattern usually does not fit, since it will not have a spectacular volume in this case.
