Children's knitted hats

Children's hat ... A phrase that causes the older generation to associate with only two or three types of these children's hats. Woolen two-tone, with a toe - an autumn-spring version, on top of which, in the cold season, another one was worn - a round cigar or luxurious rabbit, on top of which an elastic band was stretched, "so as not to blow into the ears." There was also a “boyish” version - a hat with earflaps made of the same brown tsigheika. The children looked alike, but they weren't blown into their ears - that's for sure.

The current generation of children is more fortunate modern children's hats perfectly combine beauty and originality all with the same care for the warmth and health of babies, not quite toddlers and not at all toddlers.

• Hat with ears. What could be nicer and more affectionate for a baby on a walk? Only a baby in a hat with ears - kittens, bears, frogs ... They are also someone's kids. But what can we say about babies, if a hat with ears can easily be found on a teenage girl, and sometimes even on a completely adult girl. For example, Paris Hilton. Apparently, at heart she is still a baby.

• Hat with pompom. With big. Or with two, but small ones. Or even three or four. On top of the head or hanging from a string. A true classic of the genre that never goes out of style. Recently, one large fur pom-pom on a knitted hat has become fashionable.

• Hat with ear flaps. In the 80s of the last century, the male model of such a hat was extremely popular among older schoolchildren, both girls and boys. Today's earflaps are not at all like those options from the gray and white rabbit.They are bright or delicate, with soft fluffy colored fur, with a fabric top with funny prints, or generally knitted.

• Helmet. A model that combines a hat and a scarf at the same time. Very convenient for almost independent children attending kindergarten and dressing on their own. In such a hat, you do not have to worry that the child will forget to put on a scarf or somehow tie it incorrectly. In such a hat, which provides a snug fit to the head and a closed throat, you do not have to worry about the baby's health. However, it should be mentioned that the children themselves do not always like this hat model.

• Bonnet cap. An infrequent, but wonderful model of a children's headdress for girls. In general, the classic bonnet is a hybrid of a female cap and a hat, tied with ribbons under the chin, this version can be seen in historical ribbons. The more interesting your baby will look in such an original version of the hat.

• Beret. Knitted, felt, fleece, fur - this is a girl's option, both in summer and for the colder season.

• Hat-scarf. Not to be confused with a helmet hat. A hat-scarf, as a rule, has a long nape, which is wrapped around the neck. Of course, such a spectacular model is more suitable for older children.

• Funnyhats, unlike anything else - in the spirit of the cartoon about Asterix and Obelix, (in the form of a Viking helmet, with horns and braids), in the form of a gladiator's helmet (with a wide belt rising to the chin) or a knight (with rising and falling in case of cold weather "Visor"). Funny hats in the form of animals (giraffes and bees, ants and cows, cats and bunnies). Fun hats with crowns or hats that mimic ponytails or pigtails.

• Double hats. Very warm, for more confidence of parents in the safety of the precious child.

• Caps with a visor. Convenient element designed for additional eye protection from cold wind and precipitation.

• Caps with lapel. Pretty in themselves, guaranteeing even greater comfort due to the double insulation of the forehead.

• Hats with ornaments. Just like adults, they enjoy well-deserved popularity, since Norwegian jacquard or lazy patterns are firmly associated with both small and large with the New Year, a Christmas tree and gifts.

• Hats complete with a scarf. One of the most popular types, which will provide the child with warmth and comfort, combined with a beautiful and stylish look.

• Panama. Light summer hat with small textile or yarn brim.
• Cap. Headpiece with a visor. One of the most popular varieties is the baseball cap.
• Bandana. Klondike, tied in such a way as to cover the forehead. A stylish option for advanced parents and trendy kids.

• Yarn. An excellent and warm option for any season is wool, depending on what type it is and what thickness of yarn is chosen. The disadvantages of wool include the possibility of discomfort when wearing (when choosing a woolen hat, pay attention to whether it pricks), the possibility of allergies in a child, the complexity of care (clean wool often rolls quickly and shrinks after washing). Alternatively, try a hat made of so-called semi-wool (wool with acrylic in equal parts). For a warmer season, hand-knitted or industrially knitted hats made of cotton, bamboo, grass, bouclé yarn are perfect.

• Fur. Natural fur (rabbit, raccoon, arctic fox) is a wonderful and beautiful material for a children's hat, you just have to pay attention to the correspondence of such a headdress to the current weather conditions so that the child does not overheat, because after sweating in a hot hat, he can catch a cold more easily. Sometimes you can find a children's knitted fur hat.This is a very interesting option, but at the same time the reverse development of events is possible - the child can freeze in such a model, since it is easier to blow with the wind.

• Textile. Fleece, cotton, knitwear, jeans. They make cool hats that you can make with your own hands with the involvement of children as interested persons.

Suede, leather. Basically, these materials are used as tops for hats with earflaps.

The color of the headdress, other things being equal, of choice should be in harmony with the rest of the clothing. Traditional colors for very young children - pink for a girl and blue for a boy - are still popular with parents, and in general, pastel colors are perfect for newborns.

Older children prefer more saturated colors: yellow, orange, bright blue, green, in which the children themselves become like bright blossoming flowers. Very beautiful, but, of course, not very practical white hats, especially fur hats.

Teens value the right to make their own choices. both the type of headdress (and sometimes its very presence), and its color. In this case, a reasonable compromise is important between the sometimes rather contradictory requirements of an almost adult child (from acid shades to gloomy monochrome tones) and the parents' concern for his health.

As before, knitted children's hats with patterns - intricate aranas, graceful openwork, always fashionable jacquard, funny pictures - are very popular. Now on sale there is a huge number of different types of yarn, which are guaranteed to make a unique children's hat, if someone in your family knows how and loves to knit.

If before, when buying a hat for a child, parents often did not have anything to choose from, so they purchased one that fit in size, now the situation has changed dramatically. Choosing a hat for your child (or with him), you, first of all, decide on the style and color, and then you are looking for the right size (sew, knit or buy).

Correct determination of the size of a child's headgear will help to avoid absolutely unnecessary troubles. - from excessive pressure on the head (in the case of too small a size) to the notorious "blowing in the ears" (if the size is determined incorrectly in a large direction). The correct choice of the size of the hat for the newborn is equally important - if the cap is too large, then when the baby's head is turned, the fabric can make it difficult to breathe freely.

Determining the required size of a baby hat is not difficult at all - you just need to measure the circumference of the baby's head with a centimeter tape above the eyebrows, ears, capturing the most convex occipital part. Actually, this is the size of the future hat. Nowadays, the practice of labeling by manufacturers of children's hats with an indication of the age for which this or that product is designed is increasingly spreading, but these are rather average values, and it is not a revelation for anyone to say that all children are different, therefore, “you have to measure”.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to try on the hat. The child may be too small for fitting (up to a year), or the headdress is bought in the absence of the child, or, which is very important now, in the online store. Knowing the circumference of his head, height and age, you can correlate this data with the data of standardized tables (for example, look at the seller or on the Internet) and correct them, if necessary.

• For example, let's say you decide to buy your favorite hat for your two-year-old daughter.You know the girth of her head, look at the chart and determine that, most likely, she will need size 49. However, in the same table you can see that the data is indicated taking into account the average height at this age of 86-92 cm, and your baby is very tiny, and even a summer hat - then it is better to order size 48. If we were talking about a winter hat, then it would be possible to stop at 49, since it is better to acquire warm options more free, so that it does not press on the head and under it, if necessary, one could put on another, more easy.
