Tips for knitting hats for newborn boys

Before you start knitting a hat directly, you need to calculate the required number of loops. To do this, you can knit a small pattern and calculate on it the density of knitting. Wash the sample lightly in warm water and let it dry. Count how many eyelets were per 1 centimeter centimeter. Next, measure the volume of the baby's head and multiply the resulting figure by the mating density. If you want the cap to fit the head of the child tightly, dial 5 loops less than the amount received. But note that the children's hat should fit perfectly on the head. If it turns out to be small, it will constantly expose the ears of the child, and the big hat tries to get off his eyes.

When choosing a scheme for knitting, be guided by the time of year when the hat will be worn. For summer, perfect crocheted openwork, light and breathable. Thicker knitting would be a better option for winter. To make the winter version of the cap warm and tight on the head, give preference to products with ties and knitted in several threads.
