What are fashionable beautiful hats 2019 knitted from?

Hats for the cold season must first of all fulfill their main function - keeping warm. To knit them, you need to choose natural wool with a warm, beautiful, pleasant-to-touch thread. Give preference to the following materials:

• high quality sheep wool yarn;
• wonderful warm cashmere;
• voluminous cozy merino;
• warm hypoallergenic alpaca wool;
• delicate angora hair;
• durable and lightweight mohair.

What styles of knitted hats are there?

Very different hats are popular, sometimes it’s even difficult to navigate the variety of styles. The trend is frank “self-knitting”, voluminous oversized models, headdresses with prints, pom-poms, tassels, ears, and braids. But the classic models of berets, beanies, earflaps, hood, cap, hat, turban have retained their positions.

Beanie

This style fits tightly around the head, hanging at the back of the head like a sock. It can be combined with any look, even a classic one. Previously, beanie hats were very laconic in design, without decorations, but now they can be with rhinestones, embroidery, inscriptions, even bows.

Important! Beanies are knitted from thin sheep wool in grey, white, cherry, emerald, blue or black alpaca wool.

With bubo

If you attach a fluffy bubo to a beanie hat, you will get a slightly different style, more playful and flirty. For such a hat, you can choose a slightly more voluminous yarn than for a beanie. Various stripes and multi-colored ornaments look very interesting. The trend is a bubo not made of yarn, but of fur, the color matching one of the shades of the hat or matched in contrast.

Kepi

One of the trends of the season is knitted caps “a la hand-made”. This is a six-piece beret with a visor. This style suits absolutely everyone, you just need to choose the right color and volume. A crocheted cap looks best. The wedges look very neat, the product holds its shape perfectly, and the visor does not sag.

Turban

Repeats the eastern headdress. The style has not become as widespread as the beanie, because the clothes worn with it must be approached very selectively. Plus, it doesn't look good on every girl. This the style suits only those with delicate facial features, and is also great for older ladies.

Kapor

A practical model that combines a headdress and a scarf. It is warm and cozy, you can take it off your head at any time and leave it on your shoulders like a scarf. This is convenient to do, for example, in a store. An undoubted advantage is maintaining your hair in such a hat, and for winter this is a very pressing issue.

Beret

It’s been in fashion for so many years that it’s impossible to count. They wear smooth models, as well as those knitted with braids, arans, and various relief patterns. The trend is berets made of coarse wool or fancy yarn with thickenings., multi-colored splashes that are characteristic of bouclé. Berets are knitted or crocheted.

Important! Models for winter differ in density, and for the off-season they can even be openwork.

Cloche

This is a knitted analogue of a felt hat with small bell-shaped brims. In the 2019 season, she is incredibly popular. This hat is crocheted for the off-season from thin wool or a combination with synthetics, and for the summer, yarn with cotton or linen is chosen. The model can be combined with absolutely any clothing, except sportswear.

Ushanka

For several years she has not lost her popularity in the world.A knitted model looks no worse, and sometimes even more interesting, than a fur one. Combinations of braids, arans, jacquards, tassels and pom-poms look very feminine, and the cut, which covers the forehead, ears and back of the head, warms by default. For earflaps, it is better to choose yarn of medium thickness.

Pipe

Looks great on girls and mature women. Combines a hat and a snood scarf. Pros: easy to put on your head, just as easy to take off, keeps your hair in place. Cons: not every model is suitable for very cold winters, as it does not fit well; does not decorate girls with small facial features. You need to knit such a transformable hat from voluminous or medium-thick sheep or merino wool.

Stocking

Similar to a beanie, but longer. The edge hangs loosely at the back, sometimes even below the shoulder line. Wearing this style requires a certain amount of courage. The most interesting options are made from thick, bright wool, made with voluminous elastic or garter stitch. Photo:

Kubanka
