Based on this crochet hat for a boy, it is easiest to understand the principle of knitting hats for men and teenagers with a convex geometric pattern. They can be very diverse, these hats with convex columns.

They not only look good, but also fit perfectly on a man's head. They look moderately brutal, no matter how old the man is.

On a baby it looks both cute and “manly” at the same time. A crocheted hat for a boy is given with a description for a two-year-old child.

Description of knitting a hat

Materials and tools

• Yarn (55% cotton and 45% polyacrylic, 50 g/160 m) - 1.5 skeins
• hook number 3

The hat is knitted with convex and concave double crochets and half double crochets. We knit the last row with single crochets.

OG - 47 cm, bottom diameter should be 47 cm x 3.14 p (based on the loop test = 15 cm).

It is better to take 1 cm less for a better fit on the head, a total of 14 cm.
Knitting goes in a circle, each row is closed with a connecting column at the top of the first column of the row. We always start the next row with three lifting air loops.

Symbols in the text

• embossed double crochet - l.r.ssn
• embossed double crochet purl - p.r.ssn
• half double crochet (like a double crochet, but we knit all three loops on the hook in one step) - h/dc

Explanations for rows

Bottom of the cap

• 1st row: we close 5 air loops into a ring, we knit 8 double crochets into it. Next, we will add 8 loops in each row to expand the circle.
• 2nd row: in each column we knit 2 l.r.dc = 16 loops.
• 3rd row: *1 l.r.ssn; knit 2 l.r.dc from one * repeat from * to * seven more times = 24 loops.
• 4th row: *2 l.r.dc; knit 2 l.r.dc from one * repeat from * to * seven more times = 32 loops.
• 5th row: *3 l.r.ssn; knit 2 l.r.dc from one * repeat from * to * seven more times = 40 loops.
• 6th row: *4 l.r.ssn; knit 2 l.r.dc from one * repeat from * to * seven more times = 48 loops.
• 7th row: *5 l.r.ssn; knit 2 l.r.dc from one * repeat from * to * seven more times = 56 loops.

At this stage, the diameter of the bottom was 8 cm. We have 8 wedges containing 7 loops of front relief columns. Next, we make the expansion by tying wedges between strips of embossed posts.

• 8th row: *7 l.r.ssn; 1 p/dc (it is knitted from the jumper between the front relief columns)* repeat from * to * seven more times = 64 loops.
• 9th row: *7 l.r.ssn; 1 l.r.dc (knit from the jumper between the previous l.r.dc and p/dc); 1 p/dc* repeat from * to * seven more times = 72 loops.
• 10th row: *7 l.r.ssn; 1 p/dc (it is knitted from the jumper between the front embossed posts); 1 l.r.ssn; 1 p/dc* repeat from * to * seven more times = 80 loops.
• 11th row: *7 l.r.ssn; 2 p/dc (the first according to the loops of the previous row, the second from the jumper between p/dc and l.r.dc); 1 l.r.ssn; 1 p/dc* repeat from * to * seven more times = 88 loops.

At this stage, the diameter of the bottom will be 12 cm.

Additional explanations. According to the rule of knitting caps, to obtain the shape of the cap we need, we need to make increments further through the row.

Accordingly, we will not make any increases in the next row, and here a new type of column will appear, due to which a relief strip is formed in the wedges.

• Row 12: * Purl 11; 7 l.r.ssn; 2 purl dc; 1 l.r.ssn; 1 purl dc* repeat from * to * three more times = 88 stitches.
  This row forms our transverse stripes in the wedges.
  The next row will be with increases.
• 13th row: *7 l.r.ssn; 3 p/dc (2 according to the loops, the third from the jumper between p/dc and l.r.dc); 1 l.r.ssn; 1 p/dc* repeat from * to * seven more times = 96 loops.

At this point, the diameter of the bottom has reached the required 14 cm. And then we knit straight without any increments.

Additional explanations. The size of the bottom can be varied using the thickness of the threads, the number of the hook, the density of knitting, and the number of increases.

• 14th row: *7 l.r.ssn; 3 p.r.ssn; 1 l.r.ssn; 13 purl dc* repeat from * to * three more times.
  From the 15th row to the 18th row we knit similarly to the 14th row.
• 19th row: *7 l.r.ssn; 3 p/dc; 1 l.r.ssn; 1 p/dc* repeat from * to * seven more times.
• We knit rows 20 and 21 similarly to row 19.
• Row 22: * Purl 12; 7 l.r.ssn; 3 p.r.ssn; 1 l.r.ssn; 1 purl dc* repeat from * to * three more times.
• Row 23: knit similarly to row 19.
• From 24 to 28 we knit similarly to the 14th row.
• We knit the 29th row similarly to the 19th row.
• Row 30 - make decreases so that the hat fits more tightly to the head near the face. We also knit this row similarly to row 19, but where there are 3 p/dcs we make decreases by knitting 2 p/dcs together. Thus, we decrease 8 loops around the circumference = 88 loops.
• We knit the 31st row in the same way as the 12th row.
• Row 32 is the last one, we knit with single crochets.

Men's crochet hats

Using the same principle as in the description above, a men's hat is crocheted. Its main advantage is that it fits on your head like a glove. And it doesn’t look like a banal “stocking” (to put it more precisely and rudely), which men don’t like so much.

Men are hard to please, even if you think a hat is great for warmth and looks good, they may have a different opinion. Try showing them this model. Perhaps they will like such a hat, and you will already know how to knit it.

Small plans to go shopping in search of a suitable cap or hat for your son for the summer can turn out to be a failure. The rich assortment of stores can unpleasantly surprise you with the lack of the right size or color of a summer hat or cap.

You can’t wear a dark hat in hot weather, and you need to choose the appropriate size. As a result, a planned shopping trip, which should not take more than an hour, can drag on for the whole day. If one day has already been lost in search of the right headgear for the summer, then it’s worth looking for options that will largely depend on you. For example, a summer hat for a boy can be crocheted.

There are not so many models of summer hats and caps, unlike models of summer hats and caps. It is also worth choosing color options from a fairly limited range of colors. An important point in preparing to knit a hat is the selection of a suitable pattern.

Pattern of a summer crochet hat for a boy:

For a summer knitted hat, it is better to choose threads from natural materials. In this master class, cotton threads are selected.

The basic pattern of a boy's cap consists of 12 rows. In total, while working on the main drawing, 3 elements will be used:
- air loops (VP);
— connecting loops (cc);
- double crochet stitches (s1n).
Brief designations of elements are given in brackets. We will use them in the further description.

Crochet summer hat for a boy - master class for beginners:

The beginning of the work is a ring of air loops closed by connecting posts. In total you need to dial 6 ch in this ring.


In the ring itself, and not in the ring loops themselves, we knit 11 s1n, and at the beginning of the row 3 lifting ch. The final element in this row will be the connecting column. In all subsequent rows, completion will occur similarly, i.e. using ss into the loop of the element of the beginning of the row.


In the second row, the beginning is carried out by 3 lifting ch and 1 dc in the gap between the tops of the nearest dc of the previous row. In the next similar interval, 2 dc are knitted. This is followed by the skipping of 2 vertices with 1n and the knitting of 2 checkmarks is repeated again, each of which consists of 2 s1n with a combined base.


In the third row above 2 ticks we knit 4 dc with a combined base in the space between the ticks. Next follows a chain in the form of 2 ch. In the arch of 2 ch from the previous row we knit 1 dc, 2 ch and 1 dc. We make a chain of 2 ch again and knit 4 dc in the space between the 2 ticks.


In the fourth row, we alternate knitting 4 chains with a joined top and chains of 2 ch.


In the fifth row we repeat the pattern of the third row.


In the sixth and seventh rows we repeat the pattern of the fourth row.

In the eighth row, the pattern repeats the pattern of the previous row, but the number of loops in the chains is no longer 2, but 3.


The ninth and tenth rows are the same. First, 4 chain stitches are knitted with a joint base, then a chain of 2 ch, 1 chain stitch and again a chain of 2 chain stitches. Next, as we proceed, we repeat, starting with 4 dc with a combined base.


In the next row, the main pattern is repeated, but above the top of the c1n a tick is formed from 2 dcs with a united base just at this top.

The last row of the pattern is also similar to the previous one, but 2 ordinary stitches are already knitted above the check mark. Next, this row is knitted again and again until the desired height of the cap is reached. Before the start of the level of the top of the ears, you need to leave a couple of centimeters to knit a strip of several rows of single crochets (sc).

In the last row we leave 15 sc unknitted.


This will be needed to create the ties on the back of the hat. To create the first tie, we knit 30 ch and in the opposite direction we knit sc along them.

We knit the remaining 15 sc and again make a chain of 30 chains, in the opposite direction along which we knit the sc. At the end of the row we complete it with 1 ss.


Crochet summer hat for a boy, ready.

If at the end of the work you knit not just a strip of sc, but periodically make uniform increases, then you will get the brim of a panama hat. In this case, the ties at the back are no longer tied.


A master class for beginners on knitting a hat was prepared by: Liliya Pervushina.

A hat for a boy can be knitted, or you can buy it in a store. We have compiled a small selection of interesting, in our opinion, models of knitted hats for boys. Knitting a hat for your boy is not only interesting, but it will allow you to choose good materials and a favorite style. And the boy will be proud that his mother knitted his hat. In addition, you will be able to fulfill any whim of your son/grandson. Sew his favorite hero onto a hat or embroider the name of a famous football player. For small children, you can knit a cozy helmet or hat with ears.

It seems that there are not so many ideas for knitting hats for boys. But in fact, take a look at our selection and you will see that this is not the case. The imagination of our craftswomen is inexhaustible. They knit hats with arans, with braids, with jacquard, hats in the shape of animals, caps, earflaps and many more interesting shapes can be found on the Internet. Knit to your heart's content!
