Hat-helmet for girls

In the cold season, parents are always concerned about what kind of headdress to choose for their little daughter. Perhaps the best option that perfectly protects against wind and frost is a helmet-hat. A beautiful model will also adorn a young fashionista.

This practical headpiece is a combination of a hat and a bib collar, it completely covers the baby's head and neck, slightly enveloping the shoulders, chest and back. Only the girl's face remains open. The hat-helmet, as a rule, fits snugly to the head.

Such a hat, made of a thin material, can fit under a warmer model - previously, a cotton scarf was used for this. This is done to avoid irritation of delicate skin.

It should be noted that this headdress existed in Soviet times. Factory hats were made of acrylic, Bologna, many needlewomen knitted them on their own. Such products had a button-fastener under the chin. Modern helmets, on the other hand, are highly aesthetic windproof models made using the latest technologies. Such things do not cause allergies in children due to the use of natural materials (wool and cotton).

As you know, children's ears are very vulnerable and are easily exposed to hypothermia. This can lead to serious consequences in the form of otitis media and more dangerous meningitis. To avoid these troubles, the girl simply needs to purchase a practical helmet-hat. If you choose the right size, children's ears will always be warm and not blown by the wind.

The advantage of this headgear is its quick donning - thanks to the elastic knitted material, it can be easily pulled over the baby's head. It will not be difficult for the girl herself to do this, since there are no ties and buttons on the product. In addition, the child will not confuse anything and will not leave any part of the body exposed, which is often the case with a regular hat and scarf. This moment is especially important in kindergarten or in a school where there is no mother, in order to control how well the baby is dressed (and children usually gather on the street in a hurry). And losing a voluminous helmet-hat is more difficult than, for example, one scarf.

Hats-helmets for girls are presented in autumn and winter versions. Models for autumn are relatively thin, made of cotton material with the addition of wool. Winter hats are warm and thick and have a lining (usually fleece). They are more voluminous, elasticity is no longer so important here. And so that the wind does not blow under the edges of the front opening, they are tightened with a drawstring.

Double-layer hats are common. The outer side of such products is made of thick woolen yarn or mohair, and the inner side is made of soft cotton. As a result, the hat-helmet becomes warmer and does not prick. If you knit such a thing yourself, then keep in mind that the inner hat should be slightly smaller in size than the outer one.

In general, if you are fond of handicrafts, then knitting a cozy hat-helmet for your daughter will not be difficult, and a little fashionista will be pleased to wear an exclusive thing that her mother lovingly knitted. Options with bulky braids made of thick yarn look spectacular and cozy.

The young beauty will be very much adorned with a warm hat-helmet with a pompom. It can be made from a similar yarn, but the fur details look especially touching.

Often, these hats are equipped with a visor, which not only decorates the product, but also additionally protects from the wind. There are models in which the shirt-front is so large that it can warm the baby's chest and back no worse than a vest. A special option is a hat-helmet for a newborn girl. In stores, they are presented in a large assortment, differ in thickness, colors, decorative elements. Usually, parents choose models that match the style and color of the baby's overalls. Helmets are ideal for walking because they cover the lymph nodes (which is important for an infant). In addition, in children under one year old, thermoregulation is not yet perfect, and in such a headdress, the head of the crumbs will not sweat. Since the hat-helmet is easy to put on and take off, the baby will not be capricious. Such a thing will not get confused and rub the skin when the child is tossing and turning in the stroller.

Consider the popular manufacturers of helmets:

Russian company "Cat»Produces warm thick helmets for preschool girls. The products are made of a combination of wool and acrylic, equipped with a cotton lining. They feature a pronounced top seam that creates a visor effect. The advantages of the brand include a rich color range of products (there are even rare colors that are not available in more expensive brands) and their democratic price.

Skiki, another domestic company, creates children's helmets made of high-quality merino wool. Despite the relatively high cost, these hats are very popular with parents. The advantages of the brand are a large assortment of styles and colors, as well as a wide range of sizes (from a newborn girl to a teenage girl of 15 years old).Due to the special Superwash treatment, Skiki products do not shrink or roll, and do not cause problems with machine washing. In addition, the hats have recently been topical reflective stripes and are insulated with Belgian isosoft material.

Finnish helmet models should be distinguished among foreign brands:

Expensive brand products Kivat made of 100% wool with cotton lining. The products are also designed for girls of different ages (from 0 to 15 years old) and have a very original design with various decor options (fur ears, pompons).

Famous brand Reima manufactures high-tech wool helmets with membrane ear inserts that optimally protect the child from the wind. These hats are unusually warm, designed to withstand severe frosts. An elastic band on the neck additionally fixes the hat - it fits even better. It is clear that such products cannot be cheap.

More budget options are offered by the company Rukka, which appeared on the children's clothing market quite recently. The brand produces thin sports-style helmets for children made of wool with the addition of acrylic. Such hats are designed for temperatures not lower than 10 degrees below zero.

Various models of helmets for girls (from birth to 10 years old) are offered by an Estonian brand Kerry... Hats are made of natural wool with isosoft insulation. However, as parents say, products often lose their shape even after a gentle wash. But in general, buyers are satisfied with the price-quality ratio.

Products of the Polish trade mark also have a reasonable price. Tu-tu. Hats-helmets made of 100% acrylic with fleece lining resemble round caps with a wide elastic band framing the face.

In the production of helmets, wool is most often used or its combination with a less expensive synthetic analogue - acrylic. In order for the product to retain its shape, a slight addition of elastane or lycra is desirable. Some models have, as a rule, a cotton lining, which is pleasant to the body and does not cause irritation. Thanks to her, the helmet sits on the head more evenly. Winter options are usually insulated with fleece. It is good for its excellent moisture-absorbing properties - the baby's hair will not sweat even during active games. Especially warm helmets are equipped with synthetic insulation (isosoft or a cheaper synthetic winterizer). Some branded Finnish models have ear inserts made of a windproof membrane material.

Hats-helmets for girls are usually made in a characteristic color scheme - these are pink, red, lilac shades. The snow-white version looks touching, especially with a pair of large fluffy pom-poms. Original models with a print, for example, in a delicate gray-pink or pink-lilac strip. Contrasting color combinations (red with black) look impressive. A gray or beige hat-helmet is suitable for any clothes.

When choosing a hat-helmet for your little daughter, first of all, decide on the correct size - it should fit perfectly, its warming properties directly depend on this. The ears should not open when the baby turns her head, and the tight-fitting edge of the helmet will not overlap the eyes.

It is advisable to buy such a thing with the child so that he can measure it. As you know, the size of the hats is determined by the circumference of the head. So, girls from birth to three months have a size of 35-40 cm.For crumbs 2-4 years old, it will be 46-52 cm long, for 7-10 year old schoolgirls - 54-55 cm.In addition, products from different companies have their own fit ... Even two things of the same company, different in texture (dense and loose knit), will differ in this regard.It is recommended to buy a hat-helmet in size or even a little smaller, as the wool is likely to stretch a little. It makes no sense to buy a hat-helmet that has grown up - a large model will open its ears.

In general, more expensive hats from proven manufacturers fit better on a child's head and have a beautiful design. However, a hat-helmet is matched to outerwear, and it is quite difficult to find some colors in stores (for example, suitable for a green or orange jumpsuit) - in this case, order the desired model in the online store.

The color of a girl's hat-helmet should not be matched exactly to the overalls - it looks boring in a children's ensemble. It is unacceptable to put on a boy model on a girl. If you have plans to transfer the hat to your little brother later, then buy a hat in a neutral color.

When choosing a material, pay special attention to the lining - it must be natural, the ideal solution is cotton, which does not prick or electrify the hair. It should be remembered that the material of the helmet must be appropriate for the season.

As for the crumbs of infancy (up to a year), then you should not wear a helmet that is too thick in winter. After all, such a child spend the entire walk in a closed stroller, where frost and wind do not particularly penetrate.

A hat-helmet for a preschool baby can be decorated with your own hands (if you are not satisfied with the standard ears or pompons). In stores you can find a variety of fabric appliques, beads, sequins, leather tassels. And then create in accordance with your imagination - in any case, the model will already be unique.

Models for girls of early school age (7-10 years old) should be chosen already more restrained and stylish, because at this age they already consider themselves adults (touching animal ears remain in the past).

A charming hat-helmet for a little fashionista. White always looks cute in combination with a delicate baby face. The smooth texture of the knitted fabric suggests the presence of jewelry - in this case, these are satin bows and beads. Two luxurious fur pom-poms add a special charm to the model. The neat shirt-front reliably covers children's hangers.

A girlish helmet of a pale pink shade with mischievous cat ears. Also, the smooth-textured model is decorated in front with multi-colored rhinestones and a flirty lilac bow on the ear of the cap. The color of the bow has something in common with the light lilac shade of a winter jacket. Obviously, the girl herself really likes the image she has created - just look at her "cat" pose.

A more stylish and laconic model made of soft velor for a schoolgirl. The hat-helmet is made in a discreet brown color. The face hole is tightened with a comfortable drawstring. The shirt is not as long as in the models for babies.

A helmet option for the little ones. The cap has a typical girly color - a warm shade of pink. The texture of the product is similar to hand knitting (simple stocking stitching). The delicate face is neatly framed with an elastic band, and the bottom of the shirt front is crocheted in the form of an openwork edging.
