CAP is connected to the circumference of the head 36 cm. Needles № 2. Thread 100% Wool, 50 g-135 m.
The binding I chose (“Fluffy gum”) is very well stretched.

In the beginning of knitting it seemed, that cap turns out very small. I put the ruler all the time and wondered if my grandson’s Golovushka would be so small. But when the work was finished, it turned out that the cap, stretching, fit on the head even 2-Letnimu Nipper.

Here’s the beanie in the unfolded form.

I found on the Internet that the length from the forehead to the occipital fossa in the newborn 20 cm. But, decided that the CAP should not be snug on top of the head and added another 4 cm.
The result was a pattern with braids (width 8 cm, length 24cm).

Scored 37 loops, plus 2 edge.
1 R. All loops purl.

2 row:
-Plinth Shoot, 2IZN,
-“Braid of 6 Loops”: Remove 3 loops to the additional spoke before knitting,
The next 3 loops bind the facial, then tie 3 loops facial with additional spokes,
-“Gum”: 2izn., 2lic., 2izn.,
-“Braid of 9 Loops”: 9licevyh,
-“Gum”: 2izn., 2lic., 2izn.,
-“Braid of 6 Loops”: Remove 3 loops to the additional spoke at work,
The next 3 loops bind the facial, then tie 3 loops facial with additional spokes,
-3izn.

etc., repeat from the second row. It turns out that it is necessary to plait braids in turn: two on edges or one in the middle.

The lateral parts are connected by a pattern of “fluffy gum”.
We dial the edges of the “pattern with braids” on 2 loops in each edging loop to the middle of the strip. To “ears on a top” were lush and stood crackhead, it is possible in the upper part of a cap, in 5 last edging loops to collect on 3 loops in each. Then knit the gum 2 × 2. Further knit “Fluffy gum”: purl loops purl, and at knitting of a face loop the spoke enter in a loop next below and pull out a new loop, dropping thus the top.

To close the baby’s ears, I added 4 cm using the scheme. Let the author forgive me, because I do not remember on what site found.

I needless in each front row on 1 loop, and then as many rows reduced number of loops on 1. I think that the ears could be longer to make (add and subtract not one, but two loops). But I did not bind.
I strapped the hat with a “lobster step”.

Twisted ribbons for bandages, came.
From the rests of yarn has made brushes and has come to “Ushkam on a Top”. They boweded under the weight of brushes and the beanie became like a wreath. Although the basis is the so-called, Kotoshapka.

Crocheted her eyes and nose, came.That’s what a charming wreath turned out!
