Step 1 - STARTING KNITTING First, we knit an elastic band (in 12-15 rows) and then (without adding loops on the knitting needles) we knit an already patterned fabric of the hat. We get a model similar to the photo of the purple cap above. Or, after knitting the elastic, we can add loops on the knitting needles ... and our canvas will begin to expand ... and we will get a model of a cap that is fluffy in volume (as in the pink model from the photo above). An important rule for adding loops. When adding loops when knitting a hat with a pattern, only one thing is important - the total number of loops on the knitting needles should be DIVIDED BY THE REPORT of the pattern (by the number of loops that are repeated in the pattern pattern) ... For example, the report (repetition) of our pattern is 8 loops ... which means the total number loops on the needles should be divided by 8 ... For example, there should be 160 ... or 168 ... or 176 loops ... (edge-edge loops do not count). Step 2 - BASIC KNIT. Then, when the loops are added, we begin to knit the pattern ... repeating the reports ... We drive the patterned fabric into rows 40, if you want the usual size of the cap ... (here it also depends on the thickness of the threads) Trying on the head ... in the process of knitting, you yourself will understand when it’s enough to drive in a straight line and it's time to narrow the canvas at the crown. (You can run this patterned fabric longer so that the hat is higher ... or finish earlier so that the hat wraps around the head, and does not stick out or hang down - everything is up to you) Step 3 - COMPLETING THE KNITTING OF THE HAT. Then when our hat approaches the back of the head (or the length you intended) ... we begin to close the loops 4 (or 6 ... or 8) in each row - the more you close the loops in a row, the faster your knitting will end. Since knitting is considered completed when 16-20 loops remain on the knitting needles An important rule is to DECREASE loops. We know that there are fewer loops on the knitting needles if two loops are knitted together (as one) ... But in order for the decrease in loops to be UNIFORM - you need to do this decrease on in any place ... and in certain sectors of the cap ... (so that these decreasing places are on the same distance apart). That is, we divide the entire circumference of the cap into sectors (as we divide a round cake into equal pieces with a knife) ... usually an even number of sectors can be 6 ... or 8 or 10 ... If you have a hat with a pattern (in which some kind of drawing-report is repeated) - then the pattern itself can be a sector ... Then we make a decrease in a certain (of your choice) place in the pattern - and so in each repetition of the pattern we knit two loops together as one. For example - we have 160 loops on the knitting needles - and we have reached the top of our hat and we need to decrease. We decide to decrease evenly in 10 places of each row ... So we need to divide our hat into 10 sectors. Then we divide 160 by 10, we get the number 16 ... (that is, we mentally divide the hat into sectors - 16 loops in each sector). And then we continue ... In our first decreasing row, we will knit two loops together at the end of each 16th loop (that is, we pick up the 15th and 16th each in a row and knit as one) ... In the second decreasing row of loops in the sector one less left (and we will already pick up together every 14th + 15th stitch in the row) .... In the third decreasing row - in each sector there are even fewer loops (and we will knit together every 13th and 14th loop). And so on ... until the total amount of all loops on the needles is 10-15 (for thin threads 20). Everything - now you can complete the knitting. We collect these remaining loops on a thread ... we tighten the thread by collecting all the loops into a bundle and tie it into a knot (we hide the ends of the knot inside). We close the back seam of our cap ... and you're done.
You can easily update your wardrobe with such a wonderful and simple hat. This is ideal for winter walks and going to work. The rice pattern hat is so easy to knit that you can handle it even if you picked up the knitting needles for the first time. All you need to know is knit and purl stitches. This pattern is also called "Putanka". Alternating purl and front loops will create such a beautiful and unique pattern.
To knit a hat with a rice pattern with knitting needles, you will need:
- 100g of yarn (wool);
- knitting needles No. 4;
- needle;
- centimeter.
How to knit a hat with a pattern Rice
We start knitting with an elastic band "Cartridge tape".
Double-sided ribbing is easy to knit, but it looks excellent and elastic.
Dial loops, the number of which is a multiple of 4 + 2 edge.
For example, 98 loops on the sample.
The elastic band is knitted with facial loops.
1 row: 1 chrome, 3 front loops, 1 remove (thread before work), 3 front loops to the end of the row. You need to complete the row 3 persons. 1 remove, 1 chrome.
2nd row: 1 chrome, 2 persons, 1 remove, 3 persons, 1 remove. Repeat until the end of the row. At the end of the row: 3 persons., 1 remove, 1 person., 1 chrome.
We knit by alternating these two rows to get such a canvas:
The width of the elastic will be as you like. In the example, it is 6 cm.
1 row: 1 person., 1 out., 1 person., 1 out.
2 row: 1 persons., 1 out.
The second row is knitted according to the pattern, as the loops look.
3rd row: over the front loop we knit the wrong side, and over the wrong side, on the contrary - the front one.
4 row: according to the drawing.
Front loop:
Purl:
Knit the desired length of the hat.
Do the decrease in loops, keeping the pattern of fig. This is done on the remaining five centimeters of the cap.
Divide approximately the canvas of the cap into 5-6 identical parts. In each of them, knit 3 loops together - where the loops are tangled, knit over the wrong side.
Three loops that need to be knitted with the front.
This is what reduction looks like 
We do this until there are 20-25 loops left on the knitting needles. But you can leave more loops if you want the crown to be freer.
There are 35 loops left here.
Transfer the loops to the thread using a large sewing needle and thread.
Our hat with a rice pattern turned out to be such a beautiful crown.
A beautiful pockmarked pattern, similar to neatly laid out pearls or rice grains, is a very popular choice among all kinds of ornaments for a wide variety of knitting items. Sweaters, cardigans, hats, snoods, pillowcases, coats and everything that the craftswomen have enough imagination and abilities for are “sprinkled” with yarn pearls.
What is a pearl pattern? A neat "paradox for minimalists" - paradoxically not boring in the relief monotony of the lines of the ornament and very pleasing to the eye. Perhaps this is the secret of its demand not only among ordinary fashionistas, but also among hardworking needlewomen.
To learn how to understand the intricacies of knitting a pearl pattern, let's first consider all its varieties, and there are several options, after which it will be possible to choose exactly “your” pearl pattern and start working with knitting patterns and descriptions.
Knitting pearl pattern: diagram and description
In fact, a pearl pattern is a type of knitting that alternates front and back loops. Pearl knitting goes well with other patterns made with knitting needles, and at the same time it is not without charm in its own form.
this pattern, also referred to as "rice", "moss" or "moss", differs in its varieties in size:
- small ornament;
- large pearl pattern;
- very small "rice";
- double pearl knitting.
The visual difference lies in the density of knitting and the possible clearance between each element of the pattern. Let's consider each of them in more detail, based on the diagrams and detailed descriptions of the knitting process. Photo and video tutorials with master classes on knitting a pearl pattern will help us in this.
Small
One of the most common patterns among all varieties of pearls is small. This simple pearl pattern is easy to knit, and the result is sure to please both experienced knitters and beginners. A description and a simple diagram will help to knit a small pearl pattern with knitting needles.
To make a small sample of a small pearl pattern, you need to make an even number of loops on the knitting needles.
- 1 row: remove the 1st hem loop. And then we knit in this way: make a front loop, then - a purl loop. Repeat this until the end of the row. And the final loop in each row should be knitted on the wrong side. Thanks to this, the edge of your product will have a smooth structure.
- 2 row: We remove the 1st edge loop. We knit the wrong loop under the facial ones, and under the wrong ones we make the front one. Thus, knit the entire row to the end.
- 3 row: all other odd rows should be created by analogy with the first row, and all even rows should be created as the second row.
Large
A more difficult task will be to knit a large pearl pattern, however, it is also quickly given to attentive and accurate needlewomen. This pattern is a favorite ornament for knitting snoods, scarves, hats, sweaters, moreover, it is versatile when combined with other types of knitting. It looks voluminous, and large grains attract attention and look especially impressive in bright colors of yarn.
- 1st row: knit *1 persons., 1 out., repeat from *
- 2nd row:
- 3rd row: knit: *1 out., 1 persons., repeat from *
- 4th row: Knit over knit and purl over purl.
Repeat 1-4 rows for a large pearl pattern.
Double
Another kind of knitting of this wonderful ornament is a double pearl pattern, also called “double rice”. The result is a pearl elastic band with a dense pattern that perfectly retains its shape. Double pearl knitting is carried out according to the following scheme and description.
With this knitting, the front and back loops change in a checkerboard pattern through the row. Cast on an even number of stitches for the sample. Please note: only odd rows are indicated in the diagram.
- 1 row: * 1 facial, 1 purl *;
- Row 2 and all even rows: they knit according to the pattern, i.e., the loops are knitted as they lie on the knitting needle;
- 3 row: * 1 purl, 1 facial *.
rice pattern
The pearl pattern rice is a two-sided ornament, which consists of facial and purl loops. Often it is chosen as a background for other patterns and combinations of more complex lines. The knitting pattern “Rice” copes with its role perfectly.
Rapport pattern horizontally 2 loops, vertically - 2 rows. To complete the sample, an even number of loops are cast on the knitting needles.
- 1 row: * 1 facial, 1 purl *;
- 2 row: * 1 purl, 1 facial *.
Thus, the front loop lying on the knitting needle is knitted on the wrong side, and the wrong one is knitted on the front.
For snood
A really good idea would be to choose a pearl knitting pattern for the snood. It will complement any image: from classic - romantic, to casual - practical, and will be equally appropriate for any change of image. Such a scarf looks very beautiful, and it is not difficult to knit it.
To knit a snood with a pearl pattern, first you need to dial the required number of loops and follow the diagram and description:
- 1 row: 1 edge loop, then start alternating - front, back and so on until the end of the row
- 2 row: 1 edge loop, then alternate - purl, front
- 3 row: repeats as 1st, and so on until the end of knitting.
You can make a larger pearl pattern (2x2 or 3x3), but in this case you will need more concentration so as not to mix up the loops. It is important to remember that the facial loops should always go over the purl loops, and the purl ones should always go above the facial loops.
For a hat
Consider also the option of knitting a hat. It is suitable for both adults and children. So, how to knit a pearl pattern with knitting needles for a hat - we will learn in a detailed description.
A hat with a pearl pattern and an elastic band will be for a head circumference of 46–48 (50–52) cm.
For work you will need: yarn (100% wool; 150 m / 100 g) - 150 g mustard or orange; stocking knitting needles No. 4,5 and 6.
How to knit an elastic band: alternately 1 facial, 1 purl.
How to knit a large pearl pattern for a hat: alternately 1 facial, 1 purl. After each 2nd circular row, shift the pattern.
The knitting density will be: 16 p. x 22 p. = 10 x 10 cm, knitted with a large pearl pattern on needles No. 6.
Progress: On knitting needles No. 4.5 with a mustard or orange thread, dial 70 (76) p. And close in a ring.
For the strap, knit 7 cm with an elastic band, then switch to needles No. 6 and continue to work with a large pearl pattern, while in the 1st circular row add 1 p. = 71 (77) p.
After 17 (19) cm from the bar, tighten all loops tightly with a working thread.
Video lesson
There should not be any difficulties in making a pearl pattern, but it is always easier for beginners to follow the example of more experienced craftswomen, and video knitting master classes help in this as well as possible.
We knit a hat with knitting needles: a simple but fashionable pattern. For this pattern, it is enough to learn how to knit two main types of loops: front and back, and alternate them according to the pattern. Thanks to DROPS NEPAL yarn, the hat is very easy to knit. As a result, you will get an unusually fashionable headdress that fits any outerwear.

Double (large) pearl pattern:
- 1st row: (right side) * 1 person. pet, 1 out. * pet. alternate to the end of the row.
- Row 2: Knit over knit and purl over purl.
- 3rd row: purl over knit and knit over purl.
- 4th row: as 2nd
Handkerchief pattern:
all rows knit facial pet.
Description of knitting a hat with a pearl pattern:
We collect on knitting needles 4.5 mm 80 (88) pet.
Knit with the double pearl pattern described above for 20-21 cm.
- 4th row: Dec 16-18 sts (about every 5th st), you should get 64-70 sts.
- 8th row: Dec 13-14 sts (about every 5th st), you should get 51-56 sts.
- 12th row: Dec 10-11 sts (about every 5th st), you should get 41-45 sts.
- 16th row: decrease 9-9 pet. (Approximately every 5th pet.), You should get 32-36 pet.
- 20th row: knit 2 sts. together faces., should get 16-18 pet.
- 24th row: knit 2 sts. together faces., should get 8-9 pet.
Cut the thread and pull it through the last remaining loops, tighten, fasten off.
Knitting is the most common type of needlework among women. This is a simple occupation, the skill in which accumulates along with experience. Starting to knit with simple patterns and light patterns, knitwear and the pattern of the selected pattern gradually become more complicated. One of the simple embossed patterns is considered to be a pearl pattern - it is great for beginner knitters who have mastered the technique of knitting front and back loops. They can knit both children's things and products for adults. Pearl knitting looks like a scattering of small pearls or pebbles. Many people call this pattern "rice" or "tangled".
This pattern looks like double-sided knitting - the fabric is the same from the front and the wrong side. In addition, it holds its shape well and is suitable for making jackets and even coats.
Products connected with this pattern do not require steaming with an iron - it is enough to use a simple soaking of the parts in cool water and drying on a towel. The pearl pattern is used as a decoration - children's blouses and sweaters, cuff and trim trim on the product, decoration in the middle of rhombuses and other variations. Even an inexperienced craftswoman can cope with the presented pattern. The main thing when mastering is not to stray from the correct knitting and alternation of loops.
How to knit
There are two types of pearl knitting - small and large - and each of them has its own pattern and description.
small pearl
This is a fairly dense canvas with small protrusions that look like grains. For the sample, dial on the knitting needles the number of loops, a multiple of 2. Then knit using the following description:
1. First row. Remove the hem, continue to knit alternating front and back loops until they run out. Knit the edge loop at the end of the row with purl so that the edge of the fabric is even. The alternation of loops occurs according to the principle of knitting an elastic band 1 × 1.
2. Second row. Remove the first loop, and then continue to work, changing the loops - knit the front one on the wrong side, and the wrong one on the front.
3. Do all odd rows as the first, and all even rows as the second.
The result is an attractive pattern with small "pearls". It is used mainly for decoration of knitted products.
large pearl
The canvas connected with this pattern has a more relief structure - the resulting relief looks like oblong pebbles. For sample cast on an even number of loops and knit using the following pattern:
1. First row. Slip off the first stitch and work the entire row in rib 1x1 (knit and purl).
2. Second row. Continue knitting with the same elastic band.
3. Third row. After the hem, begin to make an offset in the same way - knit the wrong loop over the front one, and knit the front loop over the wrong one.
4. Fourth row. In this row, knit loops according to the pattern.
From the fifth row, continue knitting, starting from the first row, that is, with the loops shifted relative to the last row. 
In "plain language" large pearls are knitted by shifting the loops in every second row.
If you look at the photo, it becomes clear how the two variants of the pattern differ.
On circular needles
Separately, you should consider knitting the presented pattern on circular knitting needles. The pearl pattern on circular needles is also knitted with an offset of one or two rows, depending on the chosen pattern. It is only necessary to mark the beginning of the row and start shifting the loops in this place, so as not to get confused.
Note! The pearl pattern may have other variations. For example, knitting the front and back loops can be alternated according to the principle of knitting an elastic band 2 × 2. Use options with an offset, both in each row and every 2 rows - you will get completely different variations.
What can be connected with this pattern
To fill your hand in the implementation of the presented pattern, you should start with the simplest product. Knitting a scarf for a child or an adult - nothing is easier. For a scarf, you need to choose soft yarn. Its thickness depends on the fact for whom the future product is intended - kids can not take a thick thread, but adults, especially men, will use thicker yarn. The technique of knitting a scarf is simple: cast on the required number of loops and knit with a pearl pattern to the required length, then close the loops.
This type of knitting is ideal for knitting snood with knitting needles. The product turns out to be dense and embossed, the edges do not twist, the pattern itself looks beautiful and unusual. Since the pattern is quite simple, the work progresses quickly. Knitting the product in simple rows will also speed it up, but in this case the snood will have one seam. You will need to dial the required number of loops - it must be even - and knit with any type of pattern: small or large. Alternate rows until the desired width of the snood is obtained, then close the loops and sew the edges with a hook or a large needle. 
If you knit a snood with circular knitting needles, then you need to accurately calculate the number of loops for it. They must match the width of the product. Dial the required number of loops and knit according to the scheme - any of the selected type of patterns. Having knitted the first row, close it in a circle, mark the beginning and continue to knit with a pattern in a circle, making offsets at the beginning of the marked row. Snood knits with knitting needles quickly and simply, you can make yourself several different models and colors - they will enliven your wardrobe, give it femininity and unusualness.
A hat or beret knitted with a pearl pattern will always look perfect. This is due to the fact that the pattern holds the shape of the product well, does not wrinkle and is fashionable at any time. The product will require thicker yarn to be warmer. Cast on as many stitches as required and knit to head height, approximately 20-21 cm. Next, you need to carry out decreases, for which you should switch to garter knitting - that is, knit all the time with facial knitting. This is done so that when the loops are reduced, the places where this is performed do not become visible. Otherwise, these places will stand out strongly on the pearl pattern. Decrease loops in every fourth front row - 4 times decrease every fifth loop, and knit the last 2 rows each time 2 together. The remaining loops connect and pull off. So the hat just fits in - it looks perfect with the same scarf. 
A jacket or sweater knitted with a pearl pattern does not even require additional decoration. You can start braids, but in a minimal amount and only in front. If the product is intended for a child, then you can add other patterns in the form of decoration. You can embroider with the same yarn or knit an appliqué. Good knitting for trims at the bottom of the jacket and on the sleeves. It holds its shape and looks very elegant. You can knit a sweater or jacket in a simple style without making the placket and cuffs with a different pattern. It will look good on men's products.
Even a beginner can master a simple and unusual pattern and use it when knitting any product. If something is not clear in the description or in the photo, you can watch the master class on the video below. Fantasize even with such a seemingly simple knitting pattern - get new variations and use them in the chosen purpose.
