SAEDNEWS: As the cold seasons begin, the market for handmade clothing heats up! Since people of all ages—boys, girls, women, and men—use scarves and hats, we’ve put together a collection of beautiful and stylish hat and infinity scarf sets, crafted by professional knitters.
With the arrival of autumn, many stylish women start thinking about knitting scarves and hats. Using knitting needles, crochet hooks, and colorful yarns, along with a bit of creativity and the tutorials we’ve provided in this section, you can create beautiful scarves and hats for the cold winter season. Of course, a basic familiarity with knitting techniques is necessary to make these lovely pieces.
For the hat:
Cast on twice the number of stitches as your head circumference.
Knit until the piece reaches the desired height of the head.
Then, decrease a few stitches every row until you have 20 stitches left.
Gather these 20 stitches using a needle and yarn.
Twist the hat’s edge and sew a knitted flower on top for decoration.
For the scarf:
Cast on twice the circumference of your neck.
Knit two stitches knitwise, two purlwise (2×2 rib).
After knitting 8–10 cm, increase stitches so the pattern changes to three knit, three purl.
Knit another 4 cm and increase again to four knit, four purl.
Repeat this, increasing further to five knit, five purl as you go.
Once the scarf reaches your desired length, bind off and sew the ends.
Attach a flower for a charming finish.
Supplies needed:
Thick yarn
Size 5 needles
Method:
Cast on stitches equal to the child’s head circumference.
Knit 5 rows in ribbing (one knit, one purl).
Then, continue knitting the rest of the hat in stockinette stitch.
Gather the top of the hat.
Make two yarn pom-poms and sew them on either side of the top to create bear ears.
This type of hat and scarf is one of the most beautiful styles, and it’s surprisingly easy to knit.
Supplies needed:
Yarn
Needles
Method:
Cast on stitches equal to your head circumference. For convenience, start by casting on 20 stitches and knitting a few rows in ribbing (one knit, one purl). Measure to determine how many stitches you’ll need for your head size.
Example: For a 46 cm head circumference, cast on 86 stitches with medium-thickness yarn. The total number of stitches should be a multiple of 4, plus 2 for the edges.
Knit 4 cm in ribbing.
First row: edge stitch purl, then one knit, three purl, one knit, three purl until the last stitch, which should be purl (edge stitch).
Second row: knit each stitch as it appears. Always knit yarn overs through the front to create holes.
Third row: edge stitch purl, knit the first stitch, then knit three purls together, yarn over, repeat until the end, finishing with edge stitch purl.
Tip: For a proper lace pattern, yarn overs must create holes. You can increase the number of knit stitches between the purl stitches for a more open pattern.
For the lace scarf:
Cast on 30 stitches. Adjust the number based on yarn thickness and desired scarf width.
Use the same lace pattern as the hat.
Once the scarf reaches your desired length, bind off.
Tie 10–15 cm yarn strands at both ends for finishing.
Knitting a French-style hat requires some skill. Lace patterns for this hat use yarn overs, which add stitches while knitting to create beautiful designs.
Method:
Cast on 8 stitches.
Row 2: yarn over, knit 1, yarn over, purl 1 across. You should have 15 stitches by the end of the row.
Row 3: knit all stitches.
Row 4: yarn over, purl 2, yarn over, purl 2, repeat to end.
Row 5: yarn over, purl 3, yarn over, purl 3, repeat to end.
Continue this pattern until your piece reaches 17 cm, or the number of stitches between yarn overs reaches 21.
Knit 3 cm in stockinette stitch to create a soft drop at the top.
Decrease two stitches together until you halve the number of stitches.
Knit 3–5 cm in 1×1 rib (one knit, one purl).
Bind off all stitches and attach a small pom-pom on top.
