Whatever one may say, the most comfortable headdress for preschoolers, schoolchildren and their mothers in the cold season is a knitted woolen hat. And her long-term trend is a cat motif: ears on the top of the head. Therefore, it is on summer evenings, after finishing household chores, that you can sit down to knit such a fashionable clothing accessory.
So that the autumn cold snap and the onset of frost can be met without fear for your head. And all this thanks to Anna Sui, an American clothing designer who was the first to release such hats. Therefore, below are detailed instructions on how to knit a hat with earflaps.
Why are they so interesting?
Note that it is not only cat ears that attract children and adults. Animal hats are suitable for both autumn and winter. Winter ones - lined with fur or from threads of Angora goat wool (mohair). Use at least two-thirds of the knitting volume from it and your head will never freeze.
And for the summer, knit a loose panama hat made of cotton or bamboo threads to protect yourself from the sun, for yourself, your daughter or granddaughter, but also with your pet’s ears. Craftswomen will also have other original ideas for hats with ears.
There is a sufficient range of them on sale, and there is something for every preference, color scheme and size. And the prices are low. But if you are a craftswoman yourself, then it’s not difficult to knit a trendy item handmade (handmade).Moreover, the greater the discrepancy with the color and style of outerwear, the more attractive your children and you will be. Contrasts in clothing are eternal.
In addition to the ears, decorate the finished hat with pseudo-claws, and even blinking eyes on a mini-battery. If the ears are owl, then for reality tie narrow tassels and attach to them. In a word, you are both a designer and a knitting master, fantasize yourself or involve children in it.
DIY bullfinch costume
New Year's matinees are a magical time. Fun performances, gifts, surprises, masquerade! Every child wants to have a bright and unusual carnival costume. The image of the red-breasted bird is precisely distinguished by all the mentioned qualities.
Rich colors and eye-catching details make this character's outfit stand out. Following the tips on how to make a bullfinch costume with your own hands, you will cope with this task perfectly.
We will tell you how to make a bullfinch costume and complement the image with makeup and accessories.
Create a bullfinch outfit
Characteristic features of the image: smooth, rounded lines, a combination of bright red, black, gray tones, the presence of white or light gray elements, the presence of the main bird attributes: wings, tail and beak.
The most optimal materials for work: fabric, paper, cardboard.
We will make the bullfinch costume from parts that are worn over everyday clothes:
Making wings
Wings can be made in two ways:
1) The simplest thing is to make a cape based on a circle.
You will need a square piece of fabric from which to cut a round piece. The radius of the circle is the length of your cape. Make a hole for the neckline and gather it along the edge with braid or elastic. Choose light fabrics: satin, silk, crepe-satin. Let the cape be swinging for convenience. Make the edges curly with triangular cutouts.
What do you need to knit a hat with ears?
So, for such a handmade, in addition to a free hour, stock up on perseverance, as well as these things:
Yarn, when purchasing it, try to avoid synthetic threads, otherwise your cap will begin to “shoot” static tension on your hair. Don't skimp on wool. You can also knit with soft cotton threads.
The knitting needles should be no thicker and no thinner than the thread itself. Pay attention to the indicators on the packaging - footage and weight. If the length is 100 meters per 100 grams, then take the diameter of the knitting needle by 6-8 millimeters, and if the ratio is 800x100 - then one and a half to three millimeters.
Scheme of work
You first need to cast on the number of loops for your head circumference. If the threads are of medium thickness, then fit into 120 loops. Next, start knitting an elastic band: alternating pairs of knit and purl stitches for the entire first row. Knit the second row in the same order, but knit only where you need to knit them.
For an elastic band, a height of five centimeters is sufficient. And immediately start knitting the chosen pattern, for example, from a rope. Start reducing the loops from the middle of the head. Then the hat will turn out without tension and dangling on the head.
Knit the ears separately and tie them to the base or sew them on. You can link it this way. Crochet a dozen and a half loops on both sides to the finished hat. And knit with an ear shape, then bind off the loops.
For the winter cold
Frost and wind are not scary in the new set.
For winter it would be nice to have warmer things. Look at the white winter hat. It will not only warm you up on a cold day, but will undoubtedly attract attention with its original design. We will also tie a scarf to it.
For two sizes: 54-56 cm and 58 cm You will need: - Eskimo yarn (100% wool 50mt/50g) - 150 grams for a hat, 100 grams for a scarf; - knitting needles No. 8 Density: 11 sts = 10 cm
Knitting pattern
- For the ears of the hat, cast on 3 sts on the knitting needles. Add on each side every second p. 1 loop each - 6 times (= 15 stitches). Knit in garter stitch (for straight knitting, knit all stitches). After knitting 7 cm, set the eyelet aside. Tie the second one in the same way.
- We cast on 6/7 sts (for different sizes), attach the first ear, cast on 15/16 sts with air loops, put on the loops of the second ear and cast on another 6/7 sts. Combine into a circle. Mark the beginning of the row with a marker. Knit the hat with circular knitting needles in garter stitch 5cm (when knitting in the round - knit 1, purl 2).
- Then change the pattern to stocking stitch (knit stitch). At a height of 17/19 cm, evenly decrease 9 stitches in every second row - 4 times (=21/24 stitches). After 24-25 cm, pull the remaining loops and fasten.
Scarf: Knit in 18 stitch stitch. You must first knit 9 cm, then continue knitting only 9 stitches - 13 cm to make a cut. Next, knit the other half separately, now combine all the loops and continue straight until the length is 68cm.
Knitting features
The actual basis for the pattern of such a hat is a geometric rectangle. It is convenient to knit with both knitting needles and hooks. If you knit in the round, the hat will not have a seam. And if you start knitting the fabric, then sew it along the short side.
The length of such a base is easy to calculate - it is equal to the circumference of the head minus a couple of centimeters, dividing the amount by 3.14. Its height is centimeters from the eyebrows to the top of the head.
And the ears will appear on their own after stitching the finished fabric. Then put on something that looks like a pipe. When you sew up the top, tacking the front and back of the future headdress, the ear corners will already stick out.Who does not want such experiments, knit the headdress in the usual way with different types of knitting needles or hooks. And knit the double pyramids of ears separately and sew or tie them.

Today I’ll tell you the secret of making such a hat - unisex, suitable for boys, girls, as well as their parents :).
For such a hat you can use fleece, polartek, any type of raincoat fabric +++ any insulation you like. I have raincoat fabric - Oxford (a type of membrane), Polartek 300 units (thermal fabric) and Thinsulate 100 ka (insulation.)
First, let's draw a pattern. You will need three measurements: head circumference, face circumference, and the distance from the eyebrow line, across the top of the head to the base of the skull. For example, you got OG-48, OL-52, and 34
First we will build a pot, it will consist of 6 wedges. To do this, add 4 cm to the exhaust gas. Total 52 (if the insulation is very thick, then it is advisable to add 6 cm.) Divide 52 cm into 6 wedges, we get 9 cm - this is the width of the wedge. We divide the distance from the eyebrows to the back of the head in half 34/2 = 17 - this is the height of the wedge, we build a rectangle: height 17 - width 9 cm
On the upper side we mark the center and complete the isosceles triangle.
We mark the centers of the sides and raise them by 0.8-1 cm, smoothly forming a bend.
Cat hat from under the hook
Immediately knit a chain along the length of the head volume. Next, go in a circular pattern, seamlessly in columns with one crochet or fabric (the seam will be at the back).
The answer to the question: how to crochet a hat with ears, read below. Try knitting a rectangle - it is the simplest, but it is sewn as indicated above. And the ears, like a secret, appear by themselves from the corners of the sewn knitted base.
The only drawback of such ears is that they do not differ in color from the hat, like those that are knitted separately and sewn on.
The cat hat is knitted with knitting needles
To do this, you need to choose a dense ornament, and the surface should not be the front one, so that the entire finished product, when put on the head, has a clear shape. Especially so that your ears don’t fall back like a lazy dog’s. But if you know how to knit very tightly, then satin stitch will do.
Use knitting needles on the cable (line). Or knit with two separate pins, but according to the crochet pattern. In the latter case, the hat must be sewn from the back. That's all about knitting a hat with ears. Decorations - according to your taste or your children's preference.

On a ski trip!
A woman is a woman, and she will always be looking for new models of hats. Even when he's going skiing. And for sports, new equipment is needed. Try knitting a sports model with ears with a multi-colored pattern. If you are not afraid of painstaking knitting patterns. There are two styles to choose from.
Size: 52-56 cm To knit a hat you will need: - Schachenmayr Universa yarn (55% wool 45% acrylic 125met/50g) - 50g each in beige, brown, gray and dark gray; - knitting needles No. 4.5, hook No. 4.5. Density 17 p. = 10 cm
Knitting pattern
- Cast on 3 stitches with gray yarn and knit in stockinette stitch. Add 1 p. on each side every other row 9 times (=21 p.). After 9.5 cm of the ear, the first earphone is ready. Repeat the pattern for the second ear.
- Using brown yarn, cast on 9 stitches (half of the back), attach the first earpiece, add another 34 stitches (front), then the second eyelet and cast on 7 stitches for half of the back (=91 stitches). Knit 18 circular rows according to the pattern on the right, then 10 r. according to scheme A, evenly decreasing three loops (= 88 p.).
- Next, alternate 5 stitches of gray and 3 stitches of beige. At 4 p.m. from the beginning of the vertical stripes, decrease 1 p. in each gray stripe (= 77 p.). Repeat these decreases 3 more times in every fourth row (=44 stitches).
- Now we decrease after 3 rows in beige stripes by 1 p. (= 22 p.)
- We tighten the remaining loops and secure them. We make a seam. Tie around the edges with single crochets in beige.

Afterword
Knitting such a hat is not difficult, even a girl who has already learned how to lay the stockinette stitch can do it. But the difficulty is that they start with double knitting needles, but here they will be needed on a fishing line, that is, circular ones. Then knit with your usual pins.
But the result will be a hat made of two parts. Therefore, think in advance how you will connect them - sew them together, or crochet them together. But you will wear a handmade product.
