Crocheted panama hats for boys. Crochet summer hat for a boy. Openwork hat “Kristina”
What will decorate the summer wardrobe of any little fashionista, give his image completeness and special charm? Of course, a Panama hat. For a boy, you can crochet a light hat literally in the evening or even during a walk: while the kids are running with a ball or enthusiastically digging in the sandbox, the handicraft mother will create a cute little thing.
What kind of Panama hat can be for a boy (crocheted)
Compared to models for girls, boys' hats look more formal and classic. There are subtypes of panama hats: hats with brims, without brims, and caps. They all knit approximately the same, only the lower part differs. The decoration of this wardrobe item most often includes traditionally boyish themes: cars, trains, boats, super heroes, etc., as well as unisex themes: animals and cartoon characters. Making it from yarn of different colors and textures will add originality to the product.
Crochet hat for a boy: let's get started
Knitting for children follows the napkin principle. The starting point is either a ring of air loops, or a self-tightening ring if you don’t want there to be a hole in the top of the Panama hat. This clever technique is often used in knitting hats. The tip of the thread is wound around the finger 1.5-2 turns, then a hook is inserted into the resulting loop and 6-8 single crochets are knitted. After this, you need to pull the tail - and the loop will tighten. Next, knitting continues either with a fillet mesh or according to the pattern of any napkin you like. The flat part (bottom of the Panama hat) should be about 15-20 centimeters in diameter. To more accurately determine this value, measure the circumference of the baby's head and divide the resulting number by 3.14.
Crochet hat for a boy: continue knitting
Once the desired diameter of the circle is reached, begin to gradually reduce the increments. You will see that the edges of the future hat begin to bend. After 2-3 rows, stop adding stitches altogether and knit in the round until the required depth is reached. What is she like? If the model is in front of you, then it is best to focus on fitting. If not, then usually for preschoolers and primary schoolchildren they take a value of 13-15 cm, for older children - 16-18 cm.
Fields and visors
If there are no brims planned for a Panama hat, then when the required depth is reached, they simply stop knitting it. It is best to go along the edge with a row of single crochets using some contrasting yarn. In the case where fields are needed, they are knitted by adding loops to the desired width. It all depends on the specific model. The visor is made exclusively with single crochets, otherwise it will not hold its shape. Its meaning is the same as that of the brim, only in this case it is tied to the entire edge, not half, and the closing of the loops does not occur simultaneously, but gradually from the edges to the center.
Final touches
So you have crocheted a hat for a boy, now it would be nice to decorate it. There are two easiest and fastest ways to do this:
- Knit a figurine or several of contrasting threads and sew on it.
- Buy ready-made thermal decal and glue it.
Either way is good. The choice depends only on what you prefer, and the result will be equally wonderful.
A knitted Panama hat is a wonderful accessory that complements the outfit of both a little girl or boy, and an adult fashionista. What could be more pleasant than a beautiful thing knitted by a mother's caring hands? The product will be unique, making your baby stand out from the crowd of other children, as well as comfortable, exactly the right size and made with love. In addition, yarn is cheaper than a ready-made store-bought hat, and children outgrow even the most beautiful things so quickly.
But don’t think that a Panama hat is just a children’s accessory. Openwork summer models with wide brims will look great on an adult girl, complementing both playful romantic and casual styles.
Knitting a Panama hat with knitting needles is not that difficult. There are various schemes, and some of them are quite simple to implement, which means that even a novice needlewoman can handle them. However, if you are an experienced craftswoman and you want something special, then you can choose a more complex option, play with patterns, decorations and various threads. Wide brim or lack thereof, a visor that makes the panama hat look like a cap, flowers, ribbons, lace - the flight of your imagination is not limited by anything.
What yarn is best to knit a Panama hat with knitting needles?
It depends solely on your taste, desires and what kind of weather your new thing is intended for. For the summer, panama hats knitted from cotton are better suited, perhaps with the addition of viscose, acrylic or silk for greater wearability of the product and easier washing. Cotton allows the scalp to breathe, even if the baby plays very actively on a hot sunny day. For cooler times, you can use merino wool or alpaca wool.
If you are just starting to learn knitting, then it is better to choose a plain light yarn, quite thick and dense, because... in this case the loops will be clearly visible.
On the Internet, by searching for “Panama hat pattern,” you can find many master classes on how to crochet a Panama hat, but absolutely wonderful models can be easily made on knitting needles. Below are diagrams of a Panama hat, from which any fashionista will be able to choose something to suit her taste.

Thank you! Wonderful Panama hats

thanks for the site
I had no idea that a child’s Panama hat could be decorated so clearly! Prospect and respect!
Thank you very much, great help for us beginners in knitting, very grateful to you.
very beautiful, real summer in hats!!!
Can I see on your website how to decipher the abbreviations? And if not, where is such information available???
Good afternoon. Panama hats are wonderful! But I can’t get a Panama hat with rounded brims. Even after adding 5 single crochets, the fields turn out to be a wave ((. I knit white with two roses and small round fields.
Good evening, Marina! It all depends on the density of the knitting. And it is possible that the finished product will need to be starched a little. Good luck in needlework)
Hello Julia! Abbreviations can be found in any knitting magazine or book. I will try to post them on our website. Thank you very much everyone for your nice reviews. Pamper your daughters and granddaughters with your handicrafts more often)
In the 3rd Panama hat, in the photo, starting from the 7th row, there are always 4 dc, and one in relief, and according to the description, there are dc in each base. there should be 2 dc...
Believe the photo or description??
Please tell me, is it necessary to make increases in the openwork part of the latest model (summer hat)? For some reason it doesn't work out as planned...
Hello Dmitry! The description was compiled by the authors, so it is better to stick to it. And of course, look through your work, if possible, try it on, because all the distortions and shortcomings will be noticeable. I wish you success)
Hello, Elena! In the description of the latest model there are no allowances for the openwork part. If you adhere to the scheme, then you will have it as in the photo - step by step. Maybe you started knitting more tightly, pulling together, than you started?
How to knit a relief stitch? Please tell me.
Hello Olga! A lesson on knitting a relief column can be viewed on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc2GQedfeIs
Good afternoon Today I accidentally came to your site, was looking for accessible descriptions for knitting panama hats, I’m delighted! everything is clear and easy! Now there will be something to do in the evenings. My granddaughter is 8 months old, I want to knit a poncho with sleeves by spring (I have a beautiful melange yarn - bright, colorful), I can’t find the same descriptions and diagrams - clear and understandable, maybe you have one?
Thank you so much for such beauty and detailed explanation and accessible diagrams.
A hat with a relief column... tell me, is it front and back?
Please tell me, when knitting an openwork lilac Panama hat, how to finish the rows (make a transition from one to another) on the bottom and on the openwork part? Confused.
