    Let \(P\) denote a 3-dimensional (convex) polytope or a polyhedral graph. A polyhedron \(P\) is \(k\)-regular if all its vertices have the same degree \(k\). Using belts and hats as building patches, two new classes of 4-regular polyhedra containing pentagons are constructed. One has only faces of 3-gons and 5-gons, the other has faces of 3-gons, 4-gons and 5-gons. Furthermore, the sufficient and necessary condition for their existence is given.
