In the cold season, a person cannot do without additional insulation. Outerwear helps the body avoid hypothermia. You can protect your head from the cold with a knitted hat. Moreover, in the fall women have more free time to do handicrafts. And trying to keep themselves busy somehow, they love to make various nice things with their own hands. We offer options for hats that a beginning knitter can knit.
The product can be knitted using knitting needles or crochet. And even if it seems that the second method is more difficult, it will allow you to create an extraordinary new thing for your wardrobe. It will also allow you to while away the evening doing something creative.
What you need to crochet a hat
As in any creative process, the preparatory stage is important in knitting. And the completion time, labor intensity and final result depend on how correctly it is carried out. The preparatory stage includes the following actions.
- Selection of material and tools.
- Taking measurements.
- Selection of the appropriate model.
The better prepared you are, the more enjoyable this activity will be for you. The time required to complete the work will also be reduced.
How to choose a hook and yarn
Purchasing the right yarn is one of the most important steps in knitting. To avoid making a mistake, you need to decide on the following characteristics of the product.
- Seasonality. For the warm season, it is better to prefer cotton, silk, linen or viscose. For cold weather - wool, alpaca, mohair.
Reference! If you want to knit something that can be worn throughout the cold season, use high-quality acrylic.
- Thickness and color. For crochet fabric it is acceptable to use threads with parameters 300–350m\100 g. Regarding color, for beginners in this needlework, it is better to take light yarn. It’s easier to work with because the weaves (loops and stitches) that require counting are more noticeable.
- Age of the future owner. For children, choose special children's yarn. If this is not available, take a soft and non-spiky fiber.
Important! You can check the softness of the yarn by placing a sample of the yarn (any store should have untied samples of yarn) against the skin on your cheek.
The information on the label will help you choose the right hook size.. Each manufacturer specifies a recommended tool.
As for the material from which the instrument is made, this is an individual matter for each craftswoman. You can take wood or metal, plastic or bone. All options are good, but metal is more reliable.
What measurements will you need?
Taking the correct measurements is another important stage of preliminary work. For this you will need the following information.
- Head circumference. Using a measuring tape, grab your head at the widest part (forehead and back of your head).
- Cap depth. It is measured from ear to ear, across the back of the head. This result is divided by two.
If you are not sure that you will take these dimensions correctly, you can use the approximate data from the table.
