How to knit an “Owl” hat? Scheme with description, patterns, models

Any needlewoman who enjoys knitting will say with confidence that you can never have too many hats. And when we see some new and unusual ornament, an original knitting pattern or a creative model, our hands are drawn to the knitting needles and yarn. If you also decide that your child urgently needs a new fashionable headdress, then we suggest you knit one. The “Owl” hat is knitted with knitting needles (a pattern with a description will be available a little later) and is knitted very quickly and easily. Even novice craftswomen can easily master this pattern and will be able to please their family and friends with new stylish winter accessories.

What you need

The first thing you need to do before starting knitting is to decide on the tools and yarn. How to knit an “Owl” hat with knitting needles and what is needed for this?

Firstly, of course, good and high-quality yarn. For any winter items, and especially for scarves and hats, it is recommended to choose thick woolen or wool blend thread. If you have thin yarn on hand, and the color is attractive and you don’t want to give it up, then simply knit the hat in two or three threads. You can also combine several types of yarn. For example, knit the main part in one color, and make the owl in a more contrasting shade.

Secondly, to knit such a hat you will need five pieces of stocking needles. You can, of course, take circular ones, but experienced knitters for hats with voluminous patterns recommend using five separate ones. In addition, we also stock up on an additional knitting needle, which we will use to remove the loops when we reach the “Owl” pattern in knitting.

We also prepare for work a measuring tape, an ordinary flat ruler, scissors, markers, a thick needle with a blunt tip for stitching and decorative elements with which you can decorate the owl. These can be buttons, beads or artificial eyes for toys, which are sold at any craft store.

How to knit an owl hat with knitting needles

The technique for making headdresses with the symbol of wisdom is simple; you only need skills in knitting basic loops. All of them are divided into models:

with ears;
Knit without a seam in the round, decorate with appliques of the eyes and beak of a bird
without ears;
A simple rectangular pattern, can be made with or without a seam, knitted with straight needles
hat with a knitted owl pattern;
Can be with ears, ties and rectangular fabric

The proposed descriptions of the models will help novice needlewomen choose an owl to their taste and make a unique accessory for themselves or a child.

Why knit a pattern?

When the size indicated in the chart is not suitable for your product, it is always recommended not only to take individual measurements, but also to take a small sample. Using stockinette stitch (and the entire hat will be made using this technique), knit a pattern ten centimeters wide and five centimeters high. Then we take a flat ruler and measure vertically and horizontally. The first measurements will give you a figure - how many rows there will be in one centimeter, the second value will show how many loops there will be in one centimeter.

Knowing the circumference of your child’s head, you can easily calculate how many stitches need to be cast on the knitting needles initially and how many rows to knit in the product so that it fits.

Description

So let's get started. We will tell you how the “Owl” hat should be knitted. The description diagram will be useful for beginners. We cast on the knitting needles 82 loops. Remember that this is an option for a head volume of 44 centimeters. You can have your own number of loops. Next we distribute it across four knitting needles. If you knit on circular knitting needles, then after knitting the first row you should close the knitting and make a circle.

The children's Owl hat, or rather, its central main part will be based on 32-33 rows. Your quantity may be slightly different, especially if the hat is knitted for an adult. But the pattern itself will consist of exactly this number of rows. If the hat is larger, then at the bottom and top of the pattern we simply knit the required number of rows in the stitch of your choice (knit stitch, garter stitch, etc.).

Rows 1-2: knit six, purl 12, knit six.

3rd – start drawing. 4 knit stitches, four purl stitches (two of them are removed on an additional needle and then knitted). Then we alternate eight loops between purl and knit. Again, four purl stitches (two of which we then knit from an additional needle) and four knit stitches.

4th – knit the purl row according to the pattern.

5th - we form the owl’s tummy, reducing the number of side loops and increasing the number of central ones. Two knit stitches, four purl stitches (using an additional knitting needle, as we described above), alternating 12 stitches, again four purl loops with additional stitches. knitting needle and two knitting needles.

6th – two knits, two purls, alternating and at the end again two purls, two knits.

7-17th - knit like the sixth row.

18th - knitted exactly the same as row 5. The only difference is that in the fifth row we knitted the first two loops from an additional knitting needle, and in the 18th row we will do the opposite.

19th – all the loops according to the drawing.

20th – four knit stitches, four purl stitches (all four on an additional needle), eight central purl stitches, four (with an additional knitting needle) and four knit stitches again.

21-29th - knit four, purl 16, knit four. This will be the owl's head.

The 30th is knitted exactly the same as the twentieth.

31-32nd – here we knit the owl’s ears. Four knit stitches, four purl stitches, eight knit stitches, four purl stitches, four knit stitches.

As a rule, if it is a small children's hat, then the entire design can easily fit on the central part. The back side is knitted in regular stockinette stitch. We hope that you will get an excellent knitted “Owl” hat. The diagram with the description was as detailed as possible, so that even beginners, working step by step, would understand everything.

Knitting an owl toy

For kids and adults, a toy in the shape of an owl, knitted with knitting needles, will be an excellent gift. Even novice craftswomen can cope with creating a bird; the main thing is to choose the right pattern. Owl toys are:

simple, square-shaped;
more complex, with separately knitted body parts.

You can knit a toy using a different number of knitting needles, it all depends on the pattern and skills of the needlewoman. The knitting should be as tight as possible so that the owl holds its shape and the filling does not come out of the loops.

Ears and tassels

Many beginners are wondering how to knit ears for an “Owl” hat. Everything is very simple here. If you don’t have enough skills, then you don’t need to knit any elongated ears. You are making an almost square product, so when you sew the hat on top, the sharp corners-ears will form on their own.

It’s very simple to highlight the corners, showing that these are the sharp ears of an owl. We will just need to add tassels to them. To do this, take the yarn from which you knitted, or any other (you can have a contrasting color) and cut the threads about ten centimeters long. Determine the number of threads yourself. If you want bigger ears, take more threads for the tassel and vice versa.

Fold the strings in half and tie them in the central part. Then we align the ends and sew the center to the place on the corners where the tassels will be at the ear.

Knitted hat and scarf with Owl patterns

The author of this set is Anna Sozinova.

The hat has the shape of a square, when put on the head, the corners become like ears. It is knitted on 4 needles without increasing or decreasing. Measure the volume of your head and calculate the number of loops and knit in the round. I knitted an “owl” pattern in the middle. After closing the loops, the crown of the hat is sewn together with a knitted seam along with the inside.

The cold weather is approaching... More and more often there is a desire to wrap yourself in a warm blanket, hugging a purring cat and a mug of warming tea or coffee. I want everything around me to be warm and fuzzy, so why not knit a cover

Hat decorations

Now a little about decorating the owl. In order to highlight the eyes, you can use any available items from the needlewoman’s kit. If the hat is for a girl, then most often beads or rhinestones are attached. If you are knitting an “Owl” hat for a boy with knitting needles, then instead of beads you can use buttons or purchased eyes for toys.

By the way, such an owl can be a decoration not only for a hat. A similar pattern can be used for knitting snoods, scarves, sweaters and jackets, cardigans and vests. You can knit with a thin thread and small knitting needles, then the owls will turn out smaller, but more graceful. Or take knitting needles 5-8 and make a voluminous owl on the chest when knitting a sweater. This is a very simple but effective pattern that you can and should experiment with.

Tips from needlewomen

To make the owl hat original, special attention must be paid to the decor.

The eyes and beak are made in different ways. They can be jacquard elements, as in the photo of an owl hat, which can be knitted for a girl or boy aged 7 months:

Eyes and beak are best done on a large scale

Decorative elements are made according to the following scheme:

The pattern is simple even for novice needlewomen

Often, to express details, special seams are used, shown in the photo below:

Scheme of chain and duplicate seam

Tassels can be made from plain yarn or used in several colors. A simple manufacturing method is shown in the diagram:

The length and thickness of the brush will depend on the number of threads used

You can use ready-made pompoms made from fur or yarn for decoration. But it's worth trying to make them yourself.

To decorate headdresses with an owl pattern, buttons, rhinestones, beads, or ready-made eyes for making toys are often used.

Owl, little fox, mouse and other ideas for children's animal hats

Do you know how to crochet? If so, then in two or three evenings you can knit an excellent animal hat for your baby. After all, it’s not difficult even for beginner knitters! Although they all seem different, they are knitted according to the same pattern. The only difference is in the design - the ears and noses of different “little animals” are different.

Animal hats are knitted with double crochet and single crochet. These basic elements in crochet are easy to master. Note that inexperienced knitters will have to tinker a little when adding and decreasing stitches. But everything is not as scary as it seems. You remember what the eyes are afraid of, but the hands do?!

Therefore, stock up on a skein of woolen thread, a suitable crochet hook, an animal hat pattern and free time (from 3 hours to 2-3 evenings). And for your inspiration, we have selected the best models of cute hats.

Size: head circumference - 36 cm.

Knitting needles No. 2. Threads 100% wool, 50 g – 135 m. Pattern: fluffy elastic band, stretches very well and braided patterns

Author of the master class: Irina Lyulina

At the beginning of knitting, it may seem that the cap is very small, but the finished hat stretches well and can be suitable even for a larger baby.

Unfolded hat:

I cast on 37 loops, plus 2 edge stitches. 1 rub . All loops are purl. 2nd row: - remove the edge, purl 2.

, - “braid of 6 loops”: remove 3 loops on an additional knitting needle before knitting, knit the next 3 loops, then knit 3 loops with knits from an additional knitting needle, - “elastic band”: p2, k2, p2, - “braid” of 9 loops": 9 knit, - "elastic": 2 p., 2 knit., 2 p.

, - “braid of 6 loops”: remove 3 loops on an additional knitting needle while working, knit the next 3 loops, then knit 3 loops with knitting needles from an additional knitting needle, -3 purl.

Row 3 according to the drawing.

4th row: - remove the edge, purl 2, - "braid of 6 loops": knit 6, - "elastic": purl 2, knit 2, purl 2, - "braid of 9 loops": remove 3 loops on an additional knitting needle before knitting , knit the next 3 loops, then knit 3 loops with an additional knitting needle, knit 3, - “elastic”: p2, knit 2, p2, - “braid of 6 loops”: knit 6, -p3.

Row 5 according to the drawing.

Row 6 , like the second. Row 7 according to the drawing. Row 8: - remove the edge, purl 2, - "braid of 6 loops": knit 6, - "elastic": purl 2, knit 2, purl 2, - "braid of 9 loops": knit 3, remove 3 loops on an additional needle at work, knit the next 3 loops, then knit 3 loops with an additional knitting needle, - “elastic”: p2, k2, p2, - “braid of 6 loops”: knit 6, -p3.

9 row according to the drawing.

Etc., repeat from the second row. It turns out that you need to braid the braids one by one: two at the edges or one in the middle.

The side parts are knitted with a “Puffy Rib” pattern.

Along the edges of the “pattern with braids” we cast on 2 loops in each edge loop to the middle of the strip. To make the “ears on the top” fluffy and stand upright, you can cast on 3 loops in each at the top of the hat, in the last 5 edge loops. Then we knit a 2×2 elastic band.

Next we knit the “Puffy Rib”: purl the loops with purls, and when knitting the knitting stitch, insert the knitting needle into the loop next to it below and pull out a new loop, discarding the top one.

To cover the baby's ears, I added 4 cm using the diagram.

I added 1 loop in each front row, and then reduced the number of loops by 1 in the same number of rows. I think that the ears could be made longer (adding and subtracting not one, but two loops). But she didn’t bandage it.

I crocheted the hat with “Crawfish step”.

I twisted the ribbons for the ties and sewed them on. I made tassels from the leftover yarn and sewed them to the “ears on the tops of my head.” They bent under the weight of the tassels and the cap began to look like an owlet. Although it is based on the so-called cat hat.

I crocheted the eyes and nose and sewed them on.
