But, despite their attractiveness, many consumers are in no hurry to purchase this item. And all due to the fact that the cost of this accessory is somewhat inflated due to its popularity.
But there is an easy way to get this fashionable thing. It is enough to purchase bulk threads and a suitable tool. And also spend some free time making it yourself. Despite the external complexity, even an inexperienced craftswoman can knit this item with a large knitting stitch.
Features of knitting with thick yarn
Yarn with parameters from 100 to 150 grams per 100 meters is considered thick. It is clear that to create things from such voluminous fiber you will need a large tool. Knitting needles size 5 and above are ideal.
Important! The choice of tool directly depends on the density of the knitting.This indicator is individual for each craftswoman.
That's why it's like that It is important, even when using a detailed description, to make a sample and make a personal calculation.
Bulky yarn has several significant advantages over other thicknesses.
- With this material, the canvas is made faster. After all, you will need to make fewer loops and rows when making an item.
- The drawing becomes more textured and clearer.
- The deliberate volume of the accessory emphasizes the femininity of the owner.
Styles of women's hats made of thick threads
From this material you can create many varieties of women's hats. Let's look at the main ones.
- With lapel
This option has an elongated size. Due to this, the lower part is turned upside down.
- Cap
The thing has a deliberately careless appearance. But despite this, it only emphasizes feminine charm and gives the face noble features with a bit of hooliganism;
- Helmet
This product provides excellent protection from cold air. Fitted to the head and having elongated side parts, a woman’s hat is often made in the form of an animal’s head: a cat or an owl. This trait allows you not only to warm up, but also to lift your spirits.
- Beret
Few people know that this variation can be made not only from thin fiber, but also from fairly thick threads. Unlike the first version, the second one is perfect for the winter season;
- Stocking
This option has become popular relatively recently. It somewhat resembles a cap and a lapel model. Its highlight lies in the freely hanging upper part.
When making this type from thick yarn, you should take a responsible approach to the choice of material. It should be quite plastic so that the canvas bends beautifully and does not stand up like a stake.
Each model has its own advantages and fans. Only you can decide which one to choose.
