How to tie the cap Pinocchio

For crochet beanie Pinocchio take soft woolen yarn, e.g. Merino or a blend of wool and acrylic in bright colors. But don't use mohair, if you're going to knit a hat for a child.

Measure the circumference of your head. Tie a sample size of approximately 10x10 cm, and calculate the number of loops in one centimeter. To do this, measure the width and count the number of loops in the sample. Next, divide this number by the measure of the width of the specimen. So you know how many loops in one centimeter. Now multiply the measure of the circumference of your head, and the number of loops in one centimeter.

Enter the required number of stitches on two knitting needles. Next knit elastic band 1 × 1 (one obverse and one reverse), while distributing them to the four spokes. Lock knitting in the round and continue knitting in pattern of about eight inches. Then knit the front stitch in a circle.

Carefully remove the template and tie one side of the brush. The other side of the cut. Brush fan and cut the protruding thread. Now sew it to the hat.
