Crochet hats for boys: interesting ideas, step-by-step description.

The softest, most beautiful and warmest hat for a child is the one knitted by mother’s hands! With the advent of children, even those who previously knew about needlework only from rare craft lessons at school take up hooks and knitting needles to make a masterpiece for their baby.

Crocheted hat for a boy for spring

This article is dedicated to knitted hats for boys. They can be roughly divided into demi-season and winter. Some of the hats are exclusively for demi-season or winter, but most of them are modified exclusively with the presence or absence of a fleece lining.

Which yarn to choose for knitting a hat for a boy?

When choosing yarn for a spring-autumn hat, you can recommend soft wool mixture or acrylic. If the child is under 3 years old, be sure to choose yarn marked “children’s” or “baby”.

Have you heard your child at least once complain that the hat “pricks”, do not think that the child does not want to wear it, most likely, his skin is sensitive and feels the tingling of the fur, choose pure acrylic for such kids.

Which yarn to choose for knitting a hat

For a winter hat with a thin lining, choose pure wool or angora. If the hat is knitted with a lining made of thick fleece, fur, or sheepskin, then the binding can be any yarn, even fancy yarn.

A creative mother, having gone shopping and familiarized herself with the assortment, will definitely want to buy a skein of yarn and independently knit the most gorgeous headdress for her child. We propose to create a “Minion” hat for autumn walks in just one evening. Also, by slightly modifying the hat, you can knit it for cold autumn, or even winter, by making a lining of fleece or sheepskin.

Minion hat

For knitting, we need a skein of yellow baby yarn, half a skein of blue, a little white and black, and also gray. For the perfect combination, we recommend choosing yarn of the same composition, thickness and weave.

Work process

We take yellow yarn in our hands. We knit the first three air loops, connect them to the first air loop, not tightened too tightly. A ring is formed.

The next row of 14 double crochets and the last column are connected to the previous one with a tightly tightened air loop.

Crochet hat for a boy for spring and autumn: step 2

We knit the third row according to this principle - 1 double crochet, 2 double crochets from one loop, 2 double crochets and again 2 double crochets from one loop. So until the end of the row. When knitting, you get an even circle without a bulge on one side.

Crochet hat for a boy for spring and autumn: step 3

We knit the fourth row according to the same principle. If a cone begins to form due to wide or tight loops, unravel the row and knit, adding more loops or, on the contrary, making a greater distance between additions.

Crochet hat for a boy for spring and autumn: step 4

In subsequent rows we add one column at a time in this way: 2 double crochets from one loop, 4 double crochets and repeat. Be sure to lay out the knitting after each row and check that the bottom does not become a cone.

Crochet hat for a boy for spring and autumn: step 5

We knit the sixth row without adding. This is a size for 3-4 years. Try it on your child's hat that fits him just right. If the child is younger, you need to stop adding loops on the 4-5th row, if older or the hat has a lining, then stop adding on the 7-10th row.

We knit in the opposite direction, also in single crochets, cutting off the first and last loops. We knit this way until the last loop remains, tighten it and secure the thread.

On the other side we knit the second “eye”. Calculating the location is quite simple. Put the hat on the child so that one ear is in place.
With a knitting marker, mark the same place on the other side. This is the easiest way to correctly calculate the beginning of knitting the second part of the hat with ears.

Crochet warm winter hat for a boy: diagram and description

What could be warmer than a hat with earflaps? Warm lining to prevent your ears from blowing, and winter walks are a joy!

To work, you will need two colors of yarn: for the base and finishing. For finishing, “grass”, “velor” and other fancy yarns are perfect.

If the circle is ready 52 cm, the bottom should be 16.50 cm. For another circle, we calculate using the formula C = 2πR = πD, where C is the circumference, R is the radius, D is the diameter, π is the constant Pi (3.14).

We knit according to the pattern below.

Crochet warm winter hat for a boy: diagram and description

By knitting according to the pattern, you will get an almost finished hat. Next, we divide it so that the seam of the transition from column to column is at the back of the head. We leave 24 loops in front and at the back of the head untouched, 18 loops per “ears”. We switch from circular knitting to knit and purl.

In order for the bevels to be neat, there is no need to shorten the loops. It is enough not to knit an air loop, but to immediately begin knitting the next column. Such a smooth transition will create neatness of work. We close the last loops as in the photo.

We knit according to the pattern.

Having tied the back of the head, we completely move on to tying the “ears”. We knit row by row, constantly smoothing the ends on both sides. When tying, we break the thread and thread it.

In our case, we tie the hat with grass around the perimeter, starting with one of the corners of the visor. Having finished knitting in a circle, we begin to knit the visor. We knit 6-10 rows in single crochets as desired and sew them to the hat.

We knit the ties and sew them to the hat. Carefully sew on the lining and the hat is ready!

Many people also recommend knitting the inner layer. It’s not worth it, since such a hat will be blown out, and in winter this is fraught with colds and otitis media.

Winter option

A crocheted winter hat for a boy should be made denser than a spring one. The child should feel warm and comfortable in it. You can make a hat with earflaps by adding a warm lining.

To create a product you will need 2 colors of thread : main and finishing. For the latter, “Velour” or “Grass” yarn is quite suitable.

With a child’s head circumference of 52 cm, the bottom should have a diameter of 16.5 cm. For other data, the diameter of the bottom must be calculated using the formula: C=2 π R =π D, where R is the radius, π is a constant (3.14), C is circumference, D – diameter.

Crochet hat and helmet for a boy: diagram and description

The best option for a winter hat is a model called “Helmet”. This hat is great for fidgety boys, since with it there is no risk that the baby, when he turns, will expose his ear, neck, forehead, and especially the back of his head. For the winter version, a lining is required. It can be fils, with artificial or natural fur, and sometimes a padding polyester padding with a cotton base is sewn in.

If you decide to knit a helmet hat with a lining, the yarn composition can be anything, even 100% synthetic. But the threads should be soft and pleasant to the body, since in some places (forehead, neck) it touches and can cause discomfort.

Let's get started

The knitting should be tight so that the lining is not visible through it. If there are holes, knit tighter or use a smaller crochet hook. This pattern is designed for a head volume of 46 cm.

Crochet hat and helmet for a boy: diagram

According to the above pattern, we knit a circle. In this model, the bottom should not be flat, but slightly convex, like the helmet of a brave knight.

Crochet hat and helmet for a boy: step 1

Please note that there are 12 rows in the diagram. You may need more or less, depending on the thickness of the yarn and the desired size.

Crochet hat and helmet for a boy: step 2

After the bottom we knit another 10-14 rows in single crochet columns. You can check the correct size by trying the hat on the future model. Don't forget that you plan to insert a lining, so the hat should be a little large and fit over your eyes. With the lining everything will fall into place. In our case, it is knitted 16 cm in height. We break the thread, do not thread it.

Crochet hat and helmet for a boy: step 3

If you knit everything according to the pattern, you get 54 columns in a circle. Otherwise, calculate proportionally to our scheme. We continue to leave 19 columns untouched, for the rest we continue to knit in single crochet columns. Even if everything seems the same now, we recommend leaving the transition from one row to another strictly at the back of the head. (The thread we broke).

Crochet hat and helmet for a boy: step 4

We need to add a little bit. So, having knitted the first row of 35 single crochets, we turn the knitting and knit: 5 double crochets, 5 double crochets from one loop, 15 single crochets, 5 double crochets from one loop, 5 double crochets.

Crochet hat and helmet for a boy: step 5

We knit 2 more rows in the same way as the previous row.

Add 5 air loops on both sides and knit 45 single crochets.

Next row: 1 chain stitch, 2 single crochets, 2 single crochets in one loop, repeat until the end of the row.

Crochet hat and helmet for a boy: step 8

4 rows of 45 single crochets.
We increase the 33rd row: 3 air loops and from each loop we knit 2 double crochets. It turns out that at the end of the row there is an accordion with 90 loops.
34 row: from one loop we knit 3 double crochets, then 88 double crochets, the last loop also 3 double crochets.
The last row is all single crochets.

Crochet hat and helmet for a boy: step 9

We tie it in single crochet columns around the entire perimeter of the hat. If desired, you can tighten it a little with a crawfish step.

Crochet hat and helmet for a boy: step 10

We knit “ears for the crown”. We cast on 3 air loops, connect and knit 14 double crochets in a circle. We do not close the next row, which also closes the single crochet columns or the cross stitch, to the place of sewing. To prevent the ears from dangling, 1/3 should be sewn to the hat.

Sew on the buttons and tighten the threads. The hat is ready!

Product with a braid pattern

The scarf is 16 centimeters wide and its length is approximately one meter and forty centimeters.

For knitting you will need 100-150 g of blue yarn Schachenmayr SMC Silenzio. The composition of this wool blend yarn is 25% wool, 25% alpaca, balanced by 50% polyacrylic content. The thickness of the thread is 60 meters/50 g. You will also need straight knitting needles No. 6.5.

The main pattern of the product: 2/2 elastic band, where 2 front loops alternate with two purl ones.

The braid pattern is made according to the diagram. Rapport is repeated from the first to the eighth row.

Scheme of the "Braids" pattern

Knitting density of the braid pattern: in a square pattern with sides of 10 centimeters horizontally, there are 16 loops and 18 rows in height.

To make a scarf for a boy, we cast on 26 loops on the knitting needles and knit four centimeters with an elastic band as follows: we knit the first row purl-wise, then remove the first edge loop, knit one loop purl-wise, then knit 2 knit stitches. When we tie the elastic to the required length, we knit the scarf fabric further with a “braid” pattern, removing the first edge.

When the length of this part of the scarf with the pattern reaches 136 centimeters, we knit a 2/2 elastic band in a mirror with the beginning of 4 centimeters and finish the work by closing all the loops.

In order for the product to have a finished look and be made with high quality, it is important to correctly secure the remaining thread. We leave the end of the thread longer and carefully thread it under the edge loops with a knitting needle, passing the thread in one and the other direction so that it is well secured. We cut off the end.

Funny hats are becoming more and more part of children's fashion. We offer to create a unique fox hat for your little hero in just one evening.

We will need red yarn, as well as leftover white and black yarn.

Fox hat

We collect 3 air loops and connect them into a single ring. We knit the entire stitch with double crochets, so we won’t mention it during the process. We knit the first row 15 columns. We divide them into 3 equal parts and mark them with markers, which we will then rearrange each time until the pattern is clearly defined. So, we knit columns and in three places where the markers we knit 2 columns from one loop. It turns out to be a cap that expands towards the bottom in 3 places.

Fox hat: front view

The hat should be elastic and easy to put on the baby.

Without knitting row 2 to the end, add white yarn to the front. We leave 19 loops in the front under the white yarn, in the middle we knit 3 columns from one loop. Repeat the second row.

Little fox hat in detail

The hat is almost ready, all that remains is to tie it in a circle with white thread.

We knit the ears. We cast on 8 chain loops and use red threads to knit 8 single crochets. Next row we cut the first and last loops and switch to white yarn. We tighten the last loops. We tie it around the outer edge with red yarn and sew it to the hat.

The little fox hat is ready!

From black threads we cast on three air loops, connect and knit 10-14 single crochets. It turns out a nose and eyes. Sew the nose on white in the center.
