First of all, they are necessary for our kids up to one or two years old, who often like to take off their hats with their pens. For older children, the ears are salvation from the cold winds, which strive to freeze the bare neck of babies. In this master class, we will analyze in detail how to knit ears for a ready-made hat. They will be double, so they will definitely not be afraid of the wind. You can also knit single ones - it's even easier. And if you want to tie the ears immediately together with the hat, then you can see in which we examined this issue in detail. Let's get started.

To work you will need:

  • Notebook with a pen for calculations;
  • Circular knitting needles from 80cm;
  • Knitting needles for cord knitting;
  • Hook;
  • 5 detachable markers;
  • A needle with a thick eye and scissors.

Video master class on knitting double ears for a hat with knitting needles and an i-cord:

Description of the process of knitting ears for a hat with knitting needles:

Since we make the ears for a ready-made hat, it will be necessary to count a little.

In the video lesson there is information on the distribution of loops for a 2x2 elastic band, and in the article we will talk about the distribution of loops for a 1x1 elastic band.

So, in our hat we have an elastic band 1x1 = 96 loops.

  1. Now we count 96/5 = 19.2 loops. While the number is not an integer, we will distribute the loops below. By the way, we always divide by 5 for all hats! It doesn't matter if they are crocheted or knitted.
  2. On the forehead, we need 2/5 loops, i.e. 19.2 * 2 = 38.4 loops, round to 39 loops, because 38 is divided by 2 and in the remainder there is 1 loop for symmetry, start with the purl and end with it.
  3. On the ears by 1/5, i.e. 19p each, again 18/2 and the remainder of 1 loop for symmetry. Let's start with the front one and finish with it. In total, we spend 38p on the ears.
  4. The rest of the loops goes to the back of the head, i.e. 96 (total) - 39 (forehead) - 38 (2 ears) = 19 loops.
  • Now we mark everything on the header with markers. If the hat has an additional pattern in addition to the elastic band, then you need to build on it first.

  • We crochet the loops for the double ear, picking up the half loops, grab the working thread. The hook has 19 loops.

  • Having cast on the loops on one side, we transfer the loops from the hook to the circular knitting needles.
  • Now we collect loops on the second side of the ear, also clinging to the half loops and pulling the same working thread.

  • We throw the loops over the knitting needles. They scored 19 more loops, for a total of 38. This row is typeset, it does not count among the rows.

  • For convenience, we immediately fix the tip of the thread from the beginning of work and hide it inside the ear. We will knit according to the principle.
  • Now we knit in a circle without decreasing about 4-5 rows, i.e. you should get about 2-2.5 cm. The number of rows depends on the thickness of the yarn. We knit 5 rows.

  • Let's start decreasing. To get a beautiful neat edge of the ear at the beginning and at the end, you need to knit 1 front loop on both sides. We will make the deductions in each row.
  • 6 row: 1L (front loop), 2 together with L with a tilt to the left (for accuracy, we turn 2 loops and knit behind the back wall),

12L, 2L together with a tilt to the right (classic decrease), 1L.

  • We do the same on the inside of the ear. (= 34p)
  • We do this until you have 4 or 5 loops on the needles.

If you have 5 loops left, then you need to knit the middle 3 loops together with the center loop, i.e. decrease 2 loops at the same time. If you do not know how to do this, then watch the video on this topic below.

Video master class on how to knit 3 loops together with a central loop:

Description of the process of decreasing 2 front loops with a center loop:

  • We remove 2L loops as if we want to knit them.

  • We knit the front third loop.

  • We pick up the 2 removed loops with the left knitting needle in the direction from left to right.

  • Now we throw them over the knitted loop. All is ready!

Now we make a transition row to start knitting the hollow i-cord.

We have 3 loops left on each knitting needle (6 loops in total).

We connect them. We take the working thread to work. And now we knit with a stocking knitting needle without any edging, 2 loops together with the front one, i.e. With a knitting needle we hook a loop from one knitting needle and a loop from another and knit as usual. In total, you should have 3 loops on the knitting needle.

Everything is very simple and fast.

We do not turn the work, we just constantly move the cord itself (3 loops) on the spoke. That is why it must be a double-edged or otherwise hosiery knitting needle.

  • You have the working thread at the end of the work, move the loops to the opposite end of the knitting needle.

  • And now we just start knitting the same 3 loops again. Finished again, moved it along the spoke. Constantly monitor the tension of the thread, the loops should be the same as much as possible.
  • We have knitted 62 rows, not counting the connecting row. The length of the lace should be 20-25cm, maybe a little more, but this length is enough to tie a bow later. When knitting the second cord, it is better to focus on the number of rows, and not on the length of the first cord.

Finish the lace by knitting 3 loops together with the central stitch as we did above. Now we knit this loop again, cut the thread and pull it out, the loop will tighten. We take a hook or a needle and hide the tip inside the cord.

So that the child does not get confused, where is the back of the head and where in front, we advise you to sew on buttons or decorate in front of the hats.

Video master class on knitting ears for a hat with knitting needles:

This is an option for separately knitted single ears. Knitting begins with a hollow cord up and sewn with open loops to the finished hat or used to start knitting the main hat.

In cold weather, it is especially important to keep your baby's ears warm. Warm and beautiful knitted hat knitting with knitting needles is quite simple. There are many schemes - you can choose an acceptable option. It is important to remember that the child should be comfortable in a knitted earflap, so choose a soft yarn, not "prickly". To correctly calculate the number of loops, first we knit a sample from the selected yarn. We count on it - how many loops and rows in 1 cm of knitted fabric.

Photo instruction on how to tie a hat with ears

Hats with ears or animal hats have remained popular for more than a year, and in the future they are not going to leave the stage of fashionable things, they look very nice. If earlier hats with ears were worn only for babies, now young people also gladly flaunt their ears on the top of their heads.

Models of hats with "cat" or "bear" ears exist for different seasons, depending on the type of thread used. There are models warm hats their threads with the addition of mohair or angora, which will retain heat even at significant sub-zero temperatures. Other models made of cotton threads or mixed threads with acrylic or microfiber are suitable for demi-season periods. If you use thin natural cotton yarn and a lighter, more openwork knitting, then the hat can be worn in cool summer days.

As already stated, distinctive feature pet hats are ears. Not only the hats themselves can have different styles and the style of knitting, but the ears can be performed in different ways... You can crochet or knit, depending on your favorite knitting tool.

There are several models and patterns to choose from.

Rectangular hats with corner ears.

These hats are knitted in a circular knit, which can be knitted or crocheted. Knitting is simple, the most simple options performed in circular knitting, the same as knitting top part sock. Knitting begins with the front loops, they knit 4 - 6 rows, then the edge of the cap turns out to be neat, twisted to the outside. Continue knitting with any type of elastic, the elastic will allow the hat to be more tight-fitting, having determined the required height of the hat (it is better to try on as you knit). It turns out a "pipe", the top of which is sewn together. It is best not to close the loops and then sew them, but to sew open loops, then the seam will not look rough.

Having received a square hat, we make out the ears - corners with a thread of the same color: we just sew them, marking a triangle. If you want more expressive ears, then before stitching, insert a triangle according to its size from felt into each eyelet, the ears will turn out to be plump.

Rectangular hats with cross-knit ears.


Models of rectangular hats using a knitting style, when some details or extensions of the fabric are knitted across the main knitting, are also simple to perform and very interesting. The ears on the crown of these models are formed naturally, they do not need to be highlighted.

A hat of this type is knitted with knitting needles in two steps: first, the middle part is performed, a strip from the forehead to the back of the head, then a loop in a loop is tied to it on both sides, a transverse fabric.

The middle part can be made with a pattern, embossed knitting looks good, for example, braids. It is better to make the sides simple or English rubber band.

Below is a knitting pattern for the middle part. The calculation of the yarn and the number of loops is carried out in the standard way, according to the sample, based on the thickness of the thread and the desired size of the product.

Rectangular hats with pom-poms.

A hat with a pompom can also become an "eared". There should only be two pompoms. Ears - pom-poms are a nice analogy, one immediately remembers a squirrel or a bear cub with round fluffy ears.

You also need to knit a simple rectangular shape to get the corners on the sides, as described in the first example. If you are using crochet hook, then you can choose a dense knit for winter hat.

Or air knit like "half ring" for a light cap. Pompons will look beautiful in either case.

Round caps with triangular or round ears.

If you do not want fluffy balls-pom-poms on the top of your head, but want ears, like an animal, then the hat can be done differently. The ears in these models are knitted as separate parts.

We knit a hat with a round top with the tool that you prefer. If we crochet, then we start from the top of the head, if with knitting needles - then from the edge of the cap. Any non-loose, dense pattern will do. The ears are tied separately. For triangles, we use a knitting pattern, as in the figure, the ears should turn out to be dense, you can even make them double.

Then we sew them with a thread from the same skein of yarn to the crown. Someone can decorate them with extra tassels.

It is even easier to knit round ears, we use a crochet and crochet crochet, so that you get compact, plump round ears. The main thing is not to overdo it, so that the ears do not turn out to be large, otherwise there will be a hat - a Cheburashka. In addition to the ears, you can decorate the hat with a delicate flower tied from threads.

Good luck designing your own exclusive beanie!
