Fashion. It all depends on the choice of colors to create such an accessory, important enough for any girl. A hat with a gradient with braids, the knitting pattern of which is located in the article, can also become a warm element of the wardrobe, thanks to the three-dimensional pattern. You don't even have to think about knitting it or not. Start preparing for winter right now and pick up the knitting needles. The description of the hat is designed for knitting on two knitting needles, if you want to knit in a circle, then it is worth considering that there will be no edge loops and purl rows for you.
To knit a hat with a gradient knitting with braids, you will need:
- yarn of two colors (100gr/280m);
- knitting needles 4;
- spool of thread;
- scissors;
- additional knitting needle;
- needle;
- hook;
- pom-pom attachment (if you want to make one);
- tape measure.
Yarn is needed in 4 skeins, each color has two skeins. You can split your skeins 
Before you start knitting a hat with braids with a gradient, you should understand the pattern. The braid consists of 3 parts, each with 4 loops, for a total of 12 loops in width. The hat is knitted without intermediate loops between the braids.
Rows 1-5 are in stockinette stitch. The sixth row is already beginning to weave. We remove four loops on an additional knitting needle before work. Next, 7 - 11 rows are knitted with a satin stitch and then we make a second weave - 4 loops are removed on an additional knitting needle at work.
Consider the rapport of the pigtail. According to the sample, you can calculate how many loops you need to dial in total. It is best to knit two braids side by side in the sample.
In this example, 12 loops are cast on for one braid, 6 for the wrong side (three on each side) and 2 edge loops. There are 20 loops in total.
The first five rows, as mentioned above, are knitted with front stitch: from the wrong side - purl, from the front - front. Weaves are made on the front side, so you need to start knitting from the wrong side.
Remove the edge, 3 front (on the front side - purl), 12 purl, 3 front, edge.
Turn the product over and knit the front row
So we knit 5 rows. The 5th should be on the wrong side.
In the sixth row will be the first weave. 1 edge, 3 out., which will not be part of the braid).
We will remove 4 loops of the braid of the additional knitting needle and leave it before work, and the working thread at work.
We will knit 4 loops that are on the left knitting needle.
The loops that are on the additional knitting needle will be returned to the left knitting needle.
We knit 8 loops of the braid and finish 3 out and 1 edge.
So we got the first weave.
According to the rapport, we will knit 5 rows according to the pattern
7-11 rows
In the 12th row there will be a second weave
Remove the edge, 3 out., 4 loops. The thread is before work, and on the additional needle there should be 4 loops for the braid at work. We will knit 4 loops of the braid and return the loops from the additional knitting needle to the knitting needle, knitting them. at the end of the row 3 out., 1 edge.
We have received the rapport of the braid, it will be repeated vertically and horizontally.
Now you need to do the calculations of the very header with a gradient with braids, the description of which is described below.
First you need to make a 2 * 2 gum sample. Knit a sample, the number of loops should be a multiple of 4 + 2 edge. Knit several rows. Now you need to lay out the knitting and measure how many centimeters the pattern itself takes. For example, 19cm = 24 loops.
Now continue to knit a pattern with braids, at least repeat in height. For this pattern, you need 12 loops + 2 edge loops per braid.
For example, we make three braids and around them 3 purl loops. Total 44 loops with hem.
Having knitted a rapport, you get 36 loops of the pattern = 12 cm in height 12 rows = 5-5.5 cm.
For a head volume of 56 cm, we consider the proportion.
We calculate the sample. We get that for the gum:
24p. = 19 cm.
X = 56cm.
X \u003d 24 * 56/19 \u003d 71p. Round up to a multiple of 4 and add 2 edge stitches = 74 stitches.
For braids, we calculate in the same way. We get: x \u003d 144 loops. 12 braids But for a hat, this can be a bit too much and we will reduce it by 1 braid. We get 144 -12 + 2 edge = 134 loops.
That is, after the gum, you need to add another 60 loops (134-74 \u003d 60).
Now let's calculate the height. Roughly estimate on the old hat what height you want. Let's say 22 cm. This will be 6.5 cm elastic and the rest of the braid pattern = 15.5 cm. just three rapports.
The figure shows schematically the color transition. The lower part of the hat is knitted from blue threads. (6.5 cm elastic and braids)
To reduce the cap, you need to leave 5-9 rows.
The pictures show that 8 rows are knitted in blue. 13 rows - 1 blue, the second gray. 16 rows in gray with two threads. To better smooth the transition in rows 4-8, you can tie a gray thread from the spool. You can also do in rows 22-25, but with a blue thread.
We collect 74 loops according to our calculations and knit an elastic band. In the picture it is 7.5 cm, but in a stretched form, and if the product is pulled in width, we get 6.5 cm.
Let's increase the loops to 134 pcs. it is better to do it on the front side. The first loop is knitted from the bottom row, do not remove the loop from the left knitting needle, but knit the second one from it as usual. 
You can add 5-6 loops at once. And then knit 1 without additions and again 5-6 at once.
Got 134 loops
There is an elastic band, you can start rapport with braids. After three such rows, add a gray thread from the spool. Having knitted up to the 8th row.
9th row. We tear off the thread from the spool and the blue thread, adding the gray one. We knit 9-21 rows.
In the 22nd row, we will tear off the blue one, replacing it with the second gray one.
Knit until the row in which decrease 9 begins, approximately 29 row)
In the table you can see the scheme for decreasing loops for our hat with a gradient with braids.
According to the scheme in the 30th row, you need to make weaves when the additional knitting needle remains before work.
Decrease three loops in each pigtail. You will get 33 loops, since room 11.
We do the decrease as follows: we knit the weave according to the scheme - we remove 4 loops for additional. We will leave the knitting needle before work. 4 loops are as follows: 2 usually, the last two together.
Let's return the loops from the additional knitting needle to the left. We knit the first 2 together, and the second two loops as usual.
We knit the third part of the braid in the same way.
According to the decrease schedule: reducing the loops in the weaves, we knit two rows 31-32 according to the pattern. In 33 work 2 stitches as usual, 2 together, 2 as usual, and 2 together, continuing to the end of the row.
34-35 rows according to the pattern.
There should be 10-20 stitches left on the needles to get a beautiful crown of the hat with gradient braids. The description of the hat is quite detailed, so it should not create problems when recreating such an interesting accessory.
If after the 35th row, there are still many loops left, then continue decreasing in the same way.
There are 19 loops left.
Cut the thread, leaving the end for sewing. Crochet it through the remaining stitches.
With the help of a needle and this thread, carefully pulling it off, sew it on the wrong side.
Thus, our hat with a gradient with clods will be ready. But you can decorate it with a pompom and add originality. 
With the help of a special device, the pompom will turn out to be even and neat.
But you can also use a cardboard template. 
Elastic band with half-columns with a crochet (for the back half-loop). This type of elastic gives a more interesting, detailed pattern, which is mistaken by many for knitting. Its degree of elasticity is less than that of the previous version, but the knitting itself is more flexible and flat, so it is more convenient to turn it up, making a hat with a lapel.
The height of the half-columns with a crochet is greater than the width of future columns in the main part of the cap. Therefore, for every two rows of elastic, there are three columns in the "body" of the cap. Ratio 1:1.5.
For a future hat in 88 columns in a circle, we knit an elastic band in 58 rows:
- 1 row - 25 air loops (the elastic band will be twice as wide and when the lapel is bent, it will turn out the same width as that of a single crochet elastic band)
- 2-58 rows - 25 half-columns with a crochet for the back half-loop.
Connect 58 and 1 rows, knitting them together with connecting half-columns. The main part of the cap, the technology of the "braid" pattern. The hat is knitted with embossed crochets with braids. Each row ends by joining the last column to the first of the same row using a connecting column, and the next row begins with a chain of three lifting air loops.
This hat is knitted with strict rows, not in a spiral, so that the level of the braids everywhere coincides in height.
The double crochet is knitted, clinging not to the loop, but to the leg of the column of the previous row. Depending on which side the hook goes around the leg of the column, either a curved (front) column or a concave (wrong) column is obtained. For those who are not at all familiar with this knitting, it will be easier to watch some video tutorials on this topic. It's simple, but as they say, it's better to see once than hear a hundred times.
For a braided pattern, the number of columns in a row must be a multiple of 8.
Since the repetition of the pattern “braid + recess between the braids” = 8 columns. In my case, the circumference of the cap is 88 columns. The first row of the hat is knitted with simple double crochets (without relief), clinging to the side surface of the elastic band. As we remember, for elastic with single crochets, the ratio is 1: 1, in the side of each row of elastic we knit 1 double crochet. If, like me, you knitted 84 rows in elastic instead of 88 for extra elasticity, add 4 columns with a crochet, distributing them discreetly around the perimeter of the cap.
For an elastic band from half-columns with a crochet in the side surface of the elastic band, we knit 3 columns for every 2 rows of elastic bands, getting the output: 58 x 1.5 = 87 columns with a crochet + 1 more column for a multiplicity of 8, we add somewhere.
At the end of the row, we connect the first and last double crochets with a connecting loop and knit 3 lifting air loops. Starting from the second row, we knit embossed double crochets.
Drawing step: 2 purl columns - 6 facial - 2 purl - 6 facial - ... and so on.
The lifting chain from the air loops during knitting takes on the form of a “purl column”. Therefore, the beginning of each subsequent row is: Lifting chain + 1 purl column - 6 facial - 2 purl - 6 facial - ... and so on.
In height, the “braid” step is 4 rows:
- 1-3 rows - according to the scheme: 2 purl double crochets - 6 facial double crochets.
- 4 row - according to the scheme: 2 purl double crochets - 6 front stitches with TWO double crochets and with a cross.
Of the six front columns with two crochets, the first three (in the direction of the hook) are knitted into the last three front columns of the bottom row, and the second three columns are knitted back into the first three of the bottom row.
That is, we knit: 1st front to the bottom 4th front 2nd to the 5th 3rd to the 6th 4th to the 1st 5th to the 2nd 6th to the 3rd and further purl to the lower purl, in the direction of travel.
Thus, we must knit up 6 steps of “pigtails” in 4 rows (we get 5 crossed braids), of which 4 steps are full-sized, and starting from the 5th step, the columns decrease to reduce the circumference of the cap.
Header scheme
- 1 row - ch 3 lift + 87 double crochets
- 2-3 rows - 3 vp lifts + 87 embossed stobics according to the scheme: 2 out of C1H - 6 persons of C1H.
- 4 row - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 2 out of C1H - 6 persons of C2H crossed.
- 5-7 rows - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 2 out of C1H - 6 persons of C1H.
- 8 row - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 2 out of C1H - 6 persons of C2H crossed.
- 9-11 rows - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 2 out of C1H - 6 persons of C1H.
- 12 row - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 2 out of C1H - 6 persons of C2H crossed.
- 13-15 rows - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 2 out of C1H - 6 persons of C1H.

- 17-19 rows - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 2 out of C1H - 6 persons of C1H.
- 20 row - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 1 out of C1H (double two out of the column) - 6 persons of C2H crossed.
- 21 row - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 1 out of C1H - 4 persons of C1H (we double from 6 facial 2 + 3 and 4 + 5)
- 22 row - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 4 persons С1Н (double 1 out + 1 persons)
- 23 row - ch 3 + according to the scheme: 2 persons C1H (double in pairs of facial columns)
Finish knitting, tighten the top of the cap with a thread. Pompom optional. The top of the hat looks quite decent without it!
In total, there were 6 steps of “pigtails” in height: 4 full-sized steps, at the 5th step in the upper row of the cross, a decrease begins, the 6th all declines and ends with the crown, without a cross.
The height of the cap can be changed by adding or decreasing the number of vertical steps. There are 11 braids around the circumference of my hats. Again, by reducing the number of bars in a row or increasing it (depending on the thickness of the yarn), you can get larger braids or many small ones.
I hope the description will help you start crocheting braids and believe that it is beautiful and, certainly, no less interesting than knitting!
The variety of patterns and knitting methods is endless. These are both simple patterns and complex three-dimensional ornaments. In this master class, we will knit a hat with a voluminous braid pattern.
For knitting we need:
- Brown and blue yarn;
- Hook;
- Scissors.
We collect a chain of VPs, the number of which should be a multiple of 12. We collect 12 VPs each and try on on the head. We connect the ends of the chain. 1 row we knit CCH around the circle.
How to crochet an elastic band
Next, we form 3 PP. Now we knit 1 LRS (front relief column). And 1 more LRS. Next, we will knit 3 IRS (purl embossed columns). And again 3 LRS.So we will alternate 3 HP and 3 HP until the end of the row.
Now we are knitting an elastic band, so there will be no changes in the new rows. Where we knit LRS in the same way, and where IRS we knit, respectively, IRS. You can knit as many such rows as you like, it depends on the desired height of the gum.
Next, change the color of the thread and knit 1 more exactly the same row.
How to crochet braids
And now we will knit braids. At the beginning of the 2nd row we do not change anything, we knit 3 VP and 2 LRS. But then we will skip 1 IRS and we will knit 1 IRS only in 2 IRS. We'll skip the 3rd one too. That is, out of 3 IRS, we knit 1 only in the middle column. Then again 3 LRS.Next, we again have purl columns, but now we will not subtract, but add 2 more IRS. In the first we knit 2 IRS, then 1 IRS and in the 3rd column we knit 2 IRS again. Then again 3 LRS. Now again skip the 1st RRS and knit 1 RRS in the 2nd column. 3rd is also skipped. The next row is knitted in the same way.
That is, 3 LRS, 1 RRS, 3 LRS, 5 RRS.
2 row. 3 PP, 2 LRS. Skip 1 HRS and knit again 3 HRS. Next, we knit 7 IRS, adding to the 1st and 5th columns. Then again 6 LRS in a row.
3 row. We don't do PP. We knit 1 sc between the 6th LRS. That is, we count the first 3 LRS and knit 1 RLS.
Next, we knit 3 LRS.
Now we knit 3 LRS back. That is, out of 6 we knitted 4, 5, 6. And now we knit in 1, 2, 3.
Next 7 IRS. Again 1 sc between the 6th LRS. Continue as at the beginning of the row. So we will knit to the end.
4 row. 3 PP. We find LRS, which are behind. We knitted them first, but because of the crosshair from the pigtail, they are hidden behind. We pull them out with our fingers and knit 2 IRS in them. 1 column replace 3 PP. And we knit 1 more CC1N immediately after the 2nd IRS between the columns. And we knit 3 HRs, since then we have HRs. Next come the IRS. There are 7 of them, we need to make 5. We skip columns 1 and 7, and in the rest we knit 1 IRS each. Continue as at the beginning of the row.
5 row. This row is very simple. We knit strictly according to the pattern. Where we knit 1 IRS each, where we knit 1 IRS each.
6 row. It will be exactly the same as the 2nd row was. 3 PP, 2 LRS. Skip 1 HRS and knit again 3 HRS. Next, we knit 7 IRS, adding to the 1st and 5th columns. Then again 6 LRS in a row.
This trendy gradient knitted hat is knitted with a braid pattern in ALIZE LanaGold 800 yarn in two shades. You can easily tie her with this detailed step-by-step description!
You will need:
- yarn ALIZE LanaGold 800 two shades,
- fur pompom,
- straight knitting needles No. 4 and two sets of knitting needles on fishing line No. 5,
- additional knitting needle for knitting overlaps,
- hook for stitching.
Yarn consumption (thread in 4 additions): a little more than 100 g.
In this case, shades 200 and 182 are used. For a smooth color gradient, it is recommended to use colors of the same color range. In this case, contrasting shades were used and the color transition turned out to be less smooth.
Hat with a gradient knitting needles: description
The cap rib is knitted on smaller straight needles (No. 4), and the main fabric is knitted on circular needles. This is done so that the elastic band stretches less when worn and keeps its shape better. The loops in the elastic, knitted on straight knitting needles, turn out to be more even and “do not dance”. If the knitting experience is great enough, then you can immediately start knitting a hat on circular knitting needles. Then she will not have a seam.
- Cap size: single 54-58, it stretches quite well. Also, the width of the product will depend on the density of knitting. For a more accurate calculation, you need to link the sample.
How to crochet a hat with a gradient
The hat is knitted with a thread in 4 additions. This is done for a smooth gradient and warmth. It is convenient to knit from two skeins of one shade and two skeins of another shade. One thread is taken from the top of the skein, and the second is pulled out from its middle. If there is one skein of each color, then the yarn must be rewound into 4 balls.
So, on straight knitting needles with a shade of 182, you need to dial 120 loops and tie 12 rows with an elastic band 2 * 2.
Then add 24 loops evenly, for a total of 144 loops (these are 12 braid rapports). An additional loop is knitted with a crossed face from the broach.
Next, you need to transfer the knitting of the hat with a gradient to circular knitting needles, close it into a ring and continue knitting according to the main pattern. The scheme of the main pattern of the "braid" is given below. To make it easier to knit overlaps, knitting should not be tight. Then the relief of the picture will be more pronounced and voluminous.
When the first three rows are knitted according to the braid pattern (just facial), it's time to start the color transition. To do this, one dark-colored thread is replaced with one light-colored thread. The working thread will consist of three dark threads and one light thread. Further, knitting continues according to the scheme, knitting braids. The next change of thread must be done through four knitted rows (in the 9th row of the braid pattern). Then the working thread will contain two dark and two light threads.
Then, also after four rows, another dark thread is replaced with a light one, and so on, until the yarn is completely changed.
All this time, the fabric of the cap is knitted according to the scheme, knitting overlaps.
When the desired height of the knitted hat is reached (18-20 cm), reductions begin to be made. To do this, divide the total number of loops by 8 and make decreases with tracks every 18 loops of the row. Two adjacent loops are knitted together with a slope to the left (remove the first loop behind the front wall, knit the second loop and stretch it through the removed loop) in each row. When 20-25 loops remain on the knitting needles, they are pulled into a ring, the thread is tied in a knot and hidden.
To decorate the hat, you can use not only a fur pom-pom, but also a pom-pom from threads, which can be made from the remaining yarn.
You need to wash a knitted hat carefully, by hand. Or on a delicate wash in the washing machine, after removing the pompom. The fur pompom categorically does not take out washing. When hand washed, it can be wrapped in a plastic bag or removed if it has ties. Dry only in a horizontal position, spread out on a dense fabric.
And to help you - a video that shows in detail how a hat is knitted with the same “braid for 12 loops” pattern as this hat. Only in this video it is made of plain yarn.
A beautiful fashionable hat with braids, knitted with a gradient, will decorate a stylish girl in the cold season. An interesting pattern makes it original, given the current fashion trends. It all depends on the choice of colors to create such an accessory, important enough for any girl. A hat with a gradient with braids, the knitting pattern of which is located in the article, can also become a warm element of the wardrobe, thanks to the three-dimensional pattern. You don't even have to think about knitting it or not. Start preparing for winter right now and pick up the knitting needles. The description of the hat is designed for knitting on two knitting needles, if you want to knit in a circle, then it is worth considering that there will be no edge loops and purl rows for you.

In this example, 12 loops are cast on for one braid, 6 for the wrong side (three on each side) and 2 edge loops. There are 20 loops in total.
The first five rows, as mentioned above, are knitted with front stitch: from the wrong side - purl, from the front - front. Weaves are made on the front side, so you need to start knitting from the wrong side.
Remove the edge, 3 front (on the front side - purl), 12 purl, 3 front, edge. 
Turn the product over and knit the front row 
So we knit 5 rows. The 5th should be on the wrong side.
In the sixth row will be the first weave. 1 edge, 3 out., which will not be part of the braid).
We will remove 4 loops of the braid of the additional knitting needle and leave it before work, and the working thread at work. 
We will knit 4 loops that are on the left knitting needle.
The loops that are on the additional knitting needle will be returned to the left knitting needle.
We knit 8 loops of the braid and finish 3 out and 1 edge.
So we got the first weave. 
According to the rapport, we will knit 5 rows according to the pattern
7-11 rows 
In the 12th row there will be a second weave
Remove the edge, 3 out., 4 loops. The thread is before work, and on the additional needle there should be 4 loops for the braid at work. We will knit 4 loops of the braid and return the loops from the additional knitting needle to the knitting needle, knitting them. at the end of the row 3 out., 1 edge. 
We have received the rapport of the braid, it will be repeated vertically and horizontally. 
Now you need to do the calculations of the very header with a gradient with braids, the description of which is described below.

Now continue to knit a pattern with braids, at least repeat in height. For this pattern, you need 12 loops + 2 edge loops per braid.
For example, we make three braids and 3 purl loops next to them. Total 44 loops with hem.
Having knitted a rapport, you get 36 loops of the pattern = 12 cm in height 12 rows = 5-5.5 cm. 
For a head volume of 56 cm, we consider the proportion.
We calculate the sample. We get that for the gum:
24p. = 19 cm.
X = 56cm.
X \u003d 24 * 56/19 \u003d 71p. Round up to a multiple of 4 and add 2 edge stitches = 74 stitches.
For braids, we calculate in the same way. We get: x \u003d 144 loops. 12 braids But for a hat, this can be a bit too much and we will reduce it by 1 braid. We get 144 -12 + 2 edge = 134 loops.
That is, after the gum, you need to add another 60 loops (134-74 \u003d 60).
Now let's calculate the height. Roughly estimate on the old hat what height you want. Let's say 22 cm. This will be 6.5 cm elastic and the rest of the braid pattern = 15.5 cm. just three rapports.
The figure shows schematically the color transition. The lower part of the hat is knitted from blue threads. (6.5 cm elastic and braids)
To reduce the cap, you need to leave 5-9 rows. 
The pictures show that 8 rows are knitted in blue. 13 rows - 1 blue, the second gray. 16 rows in gray with two threads. To better smooth the transition in rows 4-8, you can tie a gray thread from the spool. You can also do in rows 22-25, but with a blue thread.
We collect 74 loops according to our calculations and knit an elastic band. In the picture it is 7.5 cm, but in a stretched form, and if the product is pulled in width, we get 6.5 cm. 
Let's increase the loops to 134 pcs. it is better to do it on the front side. The first loop is knitted from the bottom row, do not remove the loop from the left knitting needle, but knit the second one from it as usual. 
You can add 5-6 loops at once. And then knit 1 without additions and again 5-6 at once.
Got 134 loops 
There is an elastic band, you can start rapport with braids. After three such rows, add a gray thread from the spool. Having knitted up to the 8th row. 
9th row. We tear off the thread from the spool and the blue thread, adding the gray one. We knit 9-21 rows.
In the 22nd row, we will tear off the blue one, replacing it with the second gray one.
Knit until the row in which decrease 9 begins, approximately 29 row) 
In the table you can see the scheme for decreasing loops for our hat with a gradient with braids. 
According to the scheme in the 30th row, you need to make weaves when the additional knitting needle remains before work.
Decrease three loops in each pigtail. You will get 33 loops, since room 11.
We do the decrease as follows: we knit the weave according to the scheme - we remove 4 loops for additional. We will leave the knitting needle before work. 4 loops are as follows: 2 usually, the last two together.
Let's return the loops from the additional knitting needle to the left. We knit the first 2 together, and the second two loops as usual.
We knit the third part of the braid in the same way. 
According to the decrease schedule: reducing the loops in the weaves, we knit two rows 31-32 according to the pattern. In 33 work 2 stitches as usual, 2 together, 2 as usual, and 2 together, continuing to the end of the row.
34-35 rows according to the pattern.
There should be 10-20 stitches left on the needles to get a beautiful crown of the hat with gradient braids. The description of the hat is quite detailed, so it should not create problems when recreating such an interesting accessory.
If after the 35th row, there are still many loops left, then continue decreasing in the same way.
There are 19 loops left.
Cut the thread, leaving the end for sewing. Crochet it through the remaining stitches.
With the help of a needle and this thread, carefully pulling it off, sew it on the wrong side. 
Thus, our hat with a gradient with clods will be ready. But you can decorate it with a pompom and add originality. 
With the help of a special device, the pompom will turn out to be even and neat.
But you can also use a cardboard template.

Knitted hats with knitting needles are the most popular topic for needlewomen. A warm model with your favorite color and pattern will perfectly fit into a fashionable look. A hat with braids is always popular, which is suitable for a girl or a girl, as well as for women of any age.
The most important thing is that braids are a universal knitting pattern that goes well with men's wardrobe. To get a warm, cozy thing, it’s good to watch a video, a master class, or find a description of knitting technology. If pattern
for the first time, we offer a master class on the correct execution of this drawing. 
We knit a "braid"
To master this pattern with knitting needles, you should stock up on an additional tool. To make the “braid” or “tow” patterns look neat, purchase a special knitting needle. 
With its help, you can significantly reduce the time of work and get a beautiful pattern. Another nuance - an additional knitting needle is taken one number less than the main ones. If this is not possible, then do not be upset. An ordinary pin will help even a novice knitter to cope with braids. Especially when you decide to knit a hat with narrow braids. An excellent result will provide:
There are many varieties of braids. They are:
- simple;
- double;
- triple;
- decorative.
Each of them has its own advantages. For a girl, it is good to knit a hat that is not too voluminous. But the female knitted model with knitting needles will be very effective with decorative or triple braids. An original solution would be to knit a hat with a gradient. This is the name of the smooth transition of a knitted fabric from one color to another shade. 
Each pattern has a detailed description. Experienced craftswomen upload their own videos or a master class to help beginners learn the basics of knitting and popular patterns. We start knitting.

A simple master class on knitting hats with braids
The first step is to take the main measurement - the circumference of the head. Considering that the pattern pulls the canvas a little, add a couple of centimeters to the result.
The calculation of the number of loops is done by the usual method.
Gather loops on the knitting needles and knit an elastic band. 
Having knitted the required length, go to the pattern. Divide the loops into facial (for braids) and purl (for separation). Continue to knit as long as needed for the height of the cap. 
The next step is to make reductions. In order not to break the pattern, you need to decrease the wrong loops. In this case, our "braids" will converge. 
When no more than 10-12 loops remain on the knitting needles, they need to be pulled off. Now it remains to make and sew a pompom. If the manufacture of this element is difficult, watch the corresponding video or master class.

The sequence of work will be the same. Take measurements - head circumference and length of the product. Take for knitting
and yarn of appropriate thickness. 
The sample is knitted with the selected pattern and the knitting density is calculated. Gather the required number of loops with knitting needles and knit in a circle with an elastic band. Having knitted the required length, go to the pattern. They knit according to the scheme or take a description in which one fragment (rapport) is indicated.
The first decreases are made on the wrong loops, when the knitted hat is almost the desired height. Then they continue to decrease on the front, and in the last row you need to knit all the loops in two. The loops remaining on the needle are pulled together and fixed on the wrong side of the thread.
Women's hats are also decorated with pom-poms. Such an element of fur looks original.
The next master class will be devoted to knitting a hat for a girl. In order for the knitted hat to acquire a beautiful relief, we will add pearl knitting to the selected type of braid.
A model for women is knitted in the round, using knitting needles on a fishing line or flagellum. 
First, the head circumference is measured and the required knitting density is calculated.
After knitting, the elastic bands go to the pattern. The number of braids that are placed on the canvas is calculated and the adjustment is made. If necessary, add or reduce the number of loops (it is better to add).
They knit the required height of the cap and start decreasing as in the classic version. For a baby, you can additionally knit a lower hat, which is sewn from below. This is done after the loops on the top are completely closed. The lower hat is knitted with facial knitting, then sewn to the main one and the product with braids is decorated with a fluffy pompom.
A very useful video for beginners will help in knitting a hat with a braid pattern.

Braids are very popular this winter! Hats with braids, snoods, scarves, even mittens: everything with braids and arans! And color! If you like the gradient, then for the hat you need to take yarn as thin as possible in 3 colors in order to make a smooth transition from one color to another. We knit in several threads. The transition is carried out by gradually replacing the thread of one color with a thread of another color.
We will need circular or toe knitting needles No. 3 (for elastic, it should be knitted tighter) and No. 4, a marker to indicate the beginning of the row.
The thicker the yarn and knitting needles, the less braids will be in the hat. In my opinion, the hat looks more interesting when the braid is larger.
How to knit a braid with knitting needles.
Such a hat is knitted with braids according to this pattern. The braid consists of 12 loops. The number of purl loops before and after braids can be adjusted. You can knit completely without purl loops between the braids. This pattern is called differently: royal braid, braid with a shadow, braid.
Hat with braids, description of knitting.
Link a sample. I must say that the braids strongly tighten the fabric, so for the elastic we will collect fewer loops, and then add loops for the braids. The sample was tied, washed, dried in a straightened form. Now we count how many loops you need to dial. Measure the circumference of your head. If you knit a hat that fits snugly to your head, then subtract 3 cm, if it’s looser or you knit a spandex thread, then you don’t need to take it away.
We decided on the number of loops. Remember that the number of loops should be even if we knit with an elastic band 1 * 1, and divided by 4 if the elastic band is 2 * 2. We collect 1 loop more so that. We knit an elastic band 1 persons., 1 out. or 2 persons., 2 out. 6-7 cm or 12-15 cm if the hat has a lapel. A hat with braids will be warmer if you tie a lapel.
Next we will knit a pattern. To do this, we make increments and switch to larger knitting needles. If I cast on 96 loops on the elastic, these are 8 braid rapports, then I will add 1 more rapport (12 loops) and between the braids 1 purl loop on both sides (more possible) +18 loops. Total: 96 + 12 + 18 = 126 loops. Now we knit according to the scheme for about 20 cm.
We do crown reduction.
Row 1: *P1, K2tog, K1, K2tog, K1, K2tog, K1, K2tog, K1, P1* Rep** 9 times
2 row: we knit 2 purl loops together with the front one, we knit the front loops with the front ones
3 row: We knit a braid already from 9 loops: where there were 4 loops, there will be 3 loops
4 row: knit according to the pattern (all facial)
5 row: * 2 together, 1 person., 2 together, 1 person., 2 together, 1 person. * Repeat ** 9 times
6 row: knit according to the pattern (all facial)
7 row: braid of 6 loops (2 loops each)
8 and 9 row: knit according to the pattern (all facial)
10 row: 2 loops together to the end of the row
11 row: braid of 3 loops
12 row: 2 loops together
13 row: 1 person., 2 together to the end of the row
We tighten the remaining loops on the needle, cut the thread, hide the tip. We send to the WTO.
You can also form the crown in a different way: We close each braid with wedges on both sides (you will have 9 wedges). We decrease as follows: we knit 2 loops together with a slope to the left, 10 persons.p., then again 2 loops of persons with a slope to the right, and so on until the end of the row. In the next row, we decrease again in the same way, until there are 2 sts left from each wedge. We tighten with a thread and the hat is ready with braids.
Sew on a pompom. So that it does not hang out, we sew its ends at a distance of about 5 cm from each other.
Hat with braids and snood.
Size: 53-55
Yarn: BBB full in two strands
Colour: 409
Knitted in the round, without seams.
Spokes: hat - No. 6.5; snood - No. 8
I scored 60 loops on the hat, after 14 rows with a 1x1 elastic band I added 4 loops (every 15 loops), for a multiplicity - 4 reports of 16 loops. Knit to the required length (I have 21 cm). Next, form the crown (4 cm), and close the loops.
Hat height 25 cm.
I scored 76 loops on the snood, 2 rows with a 1x1 elastic band, and then the front surface with elements of the pattern from the cap.
I finished with 2 rows of 1x1 elastic, and closed the edge with a needle.
Snood dimensions: width 28 cm (folded), height 38 cm.
Consumption: about 7 skeins
Pattern:
Option number 3
Original hat with seven braids.
To knit it, you will need NAKO Nakolen yarn 100 g / 210 m, knitting needles No. 5 circular with a shortened fishing line.
Description
We will knit without a seam from the bottom up.
We collect 81 loops, we close There are 80 loops on the knitting needles. We knit with an elastic band * 1 facial crossed, 1 purl * 7 rows (another number is possible).
In the next row we add loops for braids. We will knit all the braids, starting from the front, in the middle we will knit 2 from one loop. That is, the first braid of 4 loops: front, no longer crossed, 2 front from the wrong loop, front. The second braid of 6 loops: 2 facial, 2 facial from one, 2 facial. Then we knit according to the scheme of 40 rows.
How to knit braids with knitting needles
Now we form the crown. We decrease in each row evenly 6 loops. First, one at a time in the intervals of 5 purl loops and in a garter stitch, then in wide braids loops in the middle, then in narrow braids. Pull off the remaining 6 loops, cut the thread and hide the tip inside the cap.
