Traditionally, knitting children's hats classic form consists of two parts: knitting bottoms for the crown of your head and just knit the most caps in length and head circumference.
On the last part of the problem usually does not occur. But, oddly, young mothers often face a very serious problem: the inability to correctly determine the size of the future cap.
Much more difficult to understand what height should be connected before the cap reducing the loops? Or if to knit from the top - of the diameter should be bedplate, then to eventually get the right amount of caps?
Moreover, do not forget that the number of loops depends not only on the age of the child, but also on the chosen model.
If you want to begin to determine the size of the cap on the basis of age, you will determine the three quantities sufficient:
1. Measure the length of the circumference of the widest area of the head. Then subtract about 4-6.5 cm, depending on how tightly the cap should sit and how much stretching pattern that will fit in a cap. This measurement will be A.
2. Measure the length from the top of the head to the forehead (just above the eyebrows) - measurement B.
3. Using the calculator to divide bushel And at 3,142. In turn measurement, which defines the diameter of the bottoms of caps required to obtain the predetermined volume.
However, it does not always have the opportunity to take your measurements. In this case, come to the rescue of sample data by age.
