The butterfly pattern is more suitable for girls, but it can be easily replaced. In the description there is a schematic structure of this helmet.

Having studied about a dozen helmets on the Internet, their types and ways of knitting, I chose the easiest option for myself as usual: the hat is knitted with a practically single web with one stitch.

Amico bobbin yarn, 100% merino wool, 125m / 50g, consumption 150-160g. Circular needles No. 2.5, No. 3 and No. 3.5, needle, thread-gum (optional), hook without a handle. Cap fit in several stages. Used rotary and circular knitting. Size 2-4 years (head circumference 50-52 cm). The height of the cap from the gum neck 20.5 cm.

Knitting begins with a neck. On the auxiliary thread, use 3mm knitting needles to knit 110 points, join the knitting into a circle and knit 1-2 rows with face loops, go to the main thread and knit 1-2 rows with face loops (to make it easier to lift the loops from the auxiliary thread), then 5 cm (20 rows) with a rubber band 1 person. on 1 out.

Add evenly 20 loops from the broach: (5 l, increase, 6 l, increase) x 10 times. Total 130 loops. Go to the needles of 3.5 mm and knit 5 rows of facial loops. In the next row, close 33 loops for the face oval, then through the row (in the front rows), decrease four more times 1 loop at the beginning and at the end of the row. Total closed to the oval face 41 loop. The needles left 89 loops. The butterfly pattern of the rapport is 10 loops and 10 rows, the butterfly repeat of 5 loops and 5 faces. loops alternate in checkerboard pattern.

Then 4 times in the front rows to add from the broach 1 loop at the beginning and at the end of the row (total 2 loops in a row), not forgetting to knit the main pattern. Total 97 loops. A number of knit on the front side, but is wrong. 6l, (knit a butterfly, 5l) x8 times, knit a butterfly, 6l, 33l + 1l loop of the next row. The beginning of the row shifted 1 loop to the left.

2 face loops, then the right knitting needle should be inserted under the pull-ups from bottom to top, then into the face loop from left to right (as when knitting a face loop) and knit pulling with the face loop together to make 1 face loop, 2 face loops. Tying the face contour With the aid of a hook and thread, dial on the front side of the 2.5 mm spokes approximately 136p. The number of loops must be a multiple of two.

Knit one row with purl loops, then 14 rows with a rubber 1l per 1i (3cm). With 3.5 mm knitting needles, knit one row with front loops – this is the place where the elastic band bends, then with 2.5 mm knitting needles, 14 rows of elastic bands. The width of the finished rubber band is 3 cm.

When knitting wool with a long time using the method of dry felting when connecting yarns of different tangles. The threads connect quickly and easily, the junction is absolutely not noticeable.
