Materials (edit)
Many fashionistas, most likely, have a natural question: what are such bulky knitted hats made of, what materials are used in production? Let's see what makes such fashionable and relevant hats.
To produce them and achieve volume, thick threads are used, mainly made of synthetic fiber - acrylic. Less commonly, wool is used. Let's talk in more detail about wool and its two popular types used in knitting beanie.
Merino wool
It is obtained from a special breed of sheep, the largest population of which is found in Australia. In Russia, this cattle is also bred and a unique and high-quality wool is obtained.
Merino yarn has a number of undeniable advantages:
- high moisture absorption. Despite the ability to absorb a large amount of moisture, the product will remain dry and warm its owner;
- dirt resistance. This indicator is achieved due to the springiness of the fibers, which, in turn, repels foreign substances. The cap is easy to clean by shaking;
- thermal insulation properties. The merino hat is incredibly warm due to the twisted structure of the fiber with air holes;
- repulsion of unpleasant odors. The creatine in the fiber is responsible for this. It disrupts the actions of bacteria, creating an environment where they cannot survive.
Mohair
This type of yarn is obtained from the wool of the Angora goat. It is durable, lightweight, and retains heat well.
Fashion trends
Fashion is changeable, today one thing is at the peak of popularity, and tomorrow it is completely opposite. Regardless, designers dare to make some predictions about a number of things. Such things, the fashion for which is not the first season, include large-knit hats.
As always, voluminous hats with various geometric shapes - braids, rhombuses, all kinds of weaves - are popular.
Artificial glitter is a new trend in headwear. It goes well with a leather jacket.
Bulky berets will also be at the height of fashion. They are worn not only traditionally, but also pushed back to the side.
Color solutions are brighter. Fashion designers pay attention to light green, blue, pink yarns. Classic combinations of pink and gray, black and white are relevant. It is they who create a unique democratic bow.
How to choose?
For all its seeming simplicity, a chunky knit hat is quite difficult to pick up. Especially considering the variety of models presented in stores. When buying a headdress, it is important to be guided not only by personal preferences, but also to take into account your face shape.
For an oval face, any hat, including a voluminous one, is suitable. A round large or triangular face, a large-knit hat will balance, if necessary, visually lengthen. Also, the hat should not cover the forehead and move over the eyes. Stylists advise a square face to avoid excessive volume and cuffs.
Knowing your characteristics, it is easy to find a decent, suitable and trendy version of a chunky knit hat!
