Takes on a knitting machine

Beret is one of the most popular women's hats. It is enjoyed with pleasure by both young girls and aged ladies. This accessory is able to transform any, even the most modest outfit, especially if it is made of bright material.

Most women create this item with the help of knitting needles or a hook. But if you have a knitting machine available, then this product can be done with it. Let's take a closer look at this process.

What will be needed for machine knitting beret

One of the most important moments in the manufacture of any thing is the preparatory stage. For the process under discussion, it consists of the following actions.

  • Choose a model and method of its manufacture . The product can be connected from bottom to top or across.
  • Purchase material . For summer gizmos, it is preferable to use cotton, viscose, silk or linen. For the cold season - wool, mohair, acrylic.
  • Take measurements . For future calculations, you will need to measure the volume of the head and the depth of the product. This is done as shown in the figure.

  • Build a pattern. Each method has its own option. For example, for a top-down method, the pattern will look as follows.

Attention! Only the upper part is represented on the pattern. The lower part (side) looks like a rectangle and is made independently by the volume of the head. At the same time, in the process of assembly of the product, the lower edge of the upper part is collected in folds.

  • Knit a sample of the fabric on a knitting machine and conduct its wet-heat treatment.
  • Perform the necessary calculations for the pattern and pattern.

Reference! When choosing a material, pay particular attention to the thickness of the thread. The volume of the fiber should be such that the knitting of the loops is not difficult in the manufacture of the fabric.
