What kind of hat should a baby have?

Of course, soft, warm and comfortable. It’s even better if, in addition to all of the above, the baby’s hat is fashionable, bright and different from others. And where can I get such a hat? I suggest you sew a fun and bright children's hat from fleece with your own hands.

Why is it better to sew a fleece hat? Fleece is a lightweight, soft, pleasant to the touch, anti-allergenic material, synthetic “wool” made from polyester. Fleece Products made from this fabric are light, durable and retain heat well, thanks to the large amount of air contained in the so-called “air chambers”. We can say that fleece is specially designed for babies. Fleece does not absorb moisture, but conducts it well. Children do not sweat in clothes made from this fabric because fleece “breathes” and retains heat perfectly.

The fabric washes well and remains soft after repeated washings. In addition to all of the above, fleece is sold in a very diverse range of colors, and most importantly, sewing from fleece is a pleasure. The edges of the fabric do not need to be further processed, the fabric does not fray and is easy to cut.

To sew a baby hat, we first need to measure the circumference of the child's head. How to do this is shown in the photo on the right. We use a centimeter to wrap around the head so that the measuring tape passes through the forehead and the back of the head - this will be the circumference of the head. Then we measure the distance from ear to ear across the top of the head - this will be the depth of the cap. For a simple hat, these measurements will be enough.

Fleece hat pattern

When sewing various models, a basic fleece hat pattern is used. It is adjusted based on your own measurements.

To determine your size, you need to take two measurements: the first is the circumference of the head, the second is the depth of the hat. How to correctly take head measurements is shown in the photo below.

The main part is one-piece, or is divided into an upper part - the crown and a lower part, which covers the ears.

By the way, there are models with elongated “ears” that turn into ties, and there are others without them at all. In this case, this part of the pattern is simply removed.

Size chart for newborn hats

It's good when you can measure a newborn's head, but this is not always possible. What if you are just expecting a baby, or need to knit a hat as a gift? Then a table of general sizes will come to your aid: height, clothing and hat sizes. Remember, of course, that some babies are born big, and some are born tiny. The table shows the average values.

If you are interested in the question of what size a newborn is, then it is, on average, 34-37 cm. How to measure your baby's head? You should use a measuring tape to measure the length around the forehead and back of the head.

Pattern starts with paper

You will need: fur (faux or natural) or water-repellent raincoat fabric, lining fabric (thinsulate or fleece), interlining and all the necessary accessories for sewing. Of course, it’s better to experiment on something small, even if you have sewing skills. You can safely take on sewing a hat for a child if you get ready for work and make patterns on paper, focusing on recommendations and calculations.

So, we begin work with a pattern for a children's hat with earflaps, for which we take the necessary measurements with a centimeter tape: the circumference of the head, face and the length of the arc from the line of the eyebrows to the back of the head. For a two-year-old child, these measurements will be as follows: head circumference = 48, face circumference = 52, arc length = 34 cm.

How to sew a fleece hat with elongated ears

This master class will show in detail the steps of sewing a fleece hat.

• Lengthen the “ears”, divide the patterns in half.

• The outer part is cut in separate parts, according to a template, and the lining is one-piece.

• Fold the triangles in pairs and sew one side. Then fold them together and sew the top edge with one line. The result is a hemisphere - the upper part of the headdress.

• Sew the back seam at the bottom part, connect it to the hemisphere - the outer half is ready.

• It is easier to assemble the lining, since it is one-piece - sew the triangles and the back seam with a machine stitch.
• Place the outer and inner parts facing each other and sew, leaving an opening for turning inside out.

• Turn the product inside out, stitch along the bottom edge, and sew on Velcro.

Children's hat with decorative ears and muzzle

It’s not at all difficult to sew a cheerful children’s hat. The most important thing is to make sure that the circumference of the baby’s head and the pattern match. This pattern is suitable for a child with a head circumference of 48 - 50 cm.

Algorithm of actions

• Cut out the necessary parts, adding 1 - 1.5 cm for allowances. If you are planning a double hat, then cut out an additional lining. The lining for a fleece hat can be knitted or made of basic material.
• Cut out the ears; they consist of four parts.
• Make an applique for the muzzle. The nose is sewn on by hand or with a frequent zigzag. Eyes and antennae - embroider with hand stitches.

• Sew the ears, turn them inside out and attach them to the gap marked with the letters AC, approximately in the middle of the segment.
• Connect the darts, first the frontal and occipital, marked with the letters D and G. Next, using a common line, sew the dart with the ears. Assemble the lining in the same way.
• Prepare the ties: cut strips approximately 1 cm wide. Since fleece does not fray, the edges do not need to be processed. Sew them on with a few stitches.
• Assembling the hat. Place the outer and lining halves facing each other and pin together with needles. Go through machine stitching. Leave a hole on the back side, approximately 5–6 cm long, for turning inside out.
• Turn the product inside out and sew the hole inconspicuously by hand.

This fleece hat looks very good when paired with a scarf and mittens. How to sew mittens is described in the article: Fleece mittens - quickly and easily with your own hands.

The hats presented below are made according to the same principle. Only the frontal-occipital dart is closed, and the top is stitched in a straight line.

Fleece beret

A warm beret is perfect for both little girls and women. For kids, a model that covers the ears is more desirable.

The pattern is constructed as follows:

The lower element is taken from the main template, and the upper one is a circle with a diameter of 35 - 40 cm. The lining is ordinary - one-piece.

Sequencing

• Connect the back seam at the rim.
• Gather the edge of the circle or fold it into folds. They are evenly distributed, bringing the circumference of the circle to the size of the head circumference.
• Sew the circle to the rim.
• Sew the lining and insert it into the upper part. Stitch, turn inside out, and decorate with fabric flowers if desired.

The sequence of sewing a cap from two parts

Like any work, sewing a cap begins with a pattern. You can print it using the drawings presented in this article. Cut out the necessary elements for the headdress from the fabric.

If a lace ribbon is sewn onto the face, then the side part needs to be made a little narrower.

Sew a lace ribbon to the back of the cap, making folds. The stitching of the elements is done in one plane, the edging should look up and not to the side. Lay out the components of the cap, matching the lines in the center. Next, everything needs to be secured with pins. All pieces of fabric need to be basted. This is done in two passes, starting from the middle line in both parts. There is no need to stretch the fabric too much, otherwise the edges will not be uniform.

Christening cap

Important! For beginning needlewomen, it is recommended to secure the ends of the seams with needles before starting to baste. Sew the hat using a machine stitch.

Sew the front edge of the product with a large stitch and gather it a little. This slight adjustment is necessary for the cap to fit well on the skull. Sew a lace or satin ribbon onto the front of the cap. This seam can be basted if desired. Finally, the seams must be finished using bias tape. For it you need to cut a strip 30 mm wide from a thin material, for example, cotton.

Important! If the cap is for everyday use, then it is advisable to make the seams external. It will be much more comfortable and soft for the child to wear it.

Headdress for girls

Attach the tape along the seam. You need to trim off the excess fabric, tuck the binding near the seam allowances and sew with a basting stitch. The finished flat seam needs to be stitched. At the end of the work, trim the bottom edge of the cap with a facing and make ropes so that the cap can be tied into a knot. A thin cotton strip is suitable for this. You can sew a knitted vest to the cap and you will already have a set of clothes.

Children's hats need to be washed frequently, so when making them it is better to use natural fabrics that are easy to care for. Cotton, calico fabrics or fleece are perfect. They can be washed at temperatures up to 60 degrees and machine dried. But it is better to wash children's clothes using liquid or gentle powders. Ironing is allowed at temperatures up to 100 degrees or using a steamer.

Important! It is advisable to wash children's clothes several times a week, separately from adults.

It is not recommended to sew brooches, rhinestones or beads as decoration; they can scratch the baby’s delicate skin.

Warm hat for baby

Making children's caps yourself is very simple. This will help save the budget of a young family because in the first year the child grows quickly, which means you will have to buy hats very often. It is better to take natural fabric for work so that the child does not develop allergies. Such products can be sewn as a gift for a young mother for a discharge or christening of a child. If desired, you can decorate with different ribbons or lace.

Required materials and tools

The main thing in sewing a children's hat is the choice of high-quality material with spectacular colors.

For one headdress you will need only 25 cm of knitwear and the following accessories:

• sewing threads matching the color;
• tailor's needles with a round eye;
• chalk or pencil for cutting;
• scissors;
• needle;
• sewing machine.

When choosing knitwear, you can pay attention to the following recommendations:

• If you use a simple sewing machine, you should choose denser fabrics. For example, fleece, ribana, footer with lycra or fleece.

• For sewing on a cover machine, you can use thin fabrics (kulirka or interlock).
• For the manufacture of children's products, fabric from unnecessary knitted T-shirts and jumpers is suitable;

Choosing a model and fabric

Hats with ears are suitable for girls, as well as teenagers and children of both sexes.

Wide models are suitable if you have a round or oval face . Widely spaced ears will look harmonious on those with a narrow face.

For comfortable use of the product, we need to choose a fabric that has good stretch:

• Knitwear, elastic in one or two directions.
• Stretch denim.
• Various types of fleece.
• Natural fur.
• Faux fur on a knitted base.
• Used knitwear.

Advice! If you decide to use a sweater or T-shirt on a hat, then the material must first be prepared. Wash it with a detergent suitable for the fabric. If it is natural wool, then a good hair shampoo will do just fine. Expand the product. Iron through a damp iron. You can start cutting.

Fleece balaclava

The balaclava perfectly protects the face from the cold piercing wind. Another undeniable plus is that it is easy to sew yourself.

The size of the window on the template is adjustable as desired, depending on which part of the face should be open.

• Fold the material in half, trace the pattern, then cut out the elements, not forgetting the allowances.

• To process the window, a piece of fabric is cut out that is larger than the future hole. Pin it to the front side.
• Sew along the outline from the wrong side.

• Cut a hole close to the seam, approximately 2 - 3 mm.

• Turn the square through the hole to the wrong side and pin it together with pins. Sew, retreating 5-7 mm from the edge.

• Further sewing is carried out according to the principle described above.

• Process the bottom cut by folding the edge, then stitch with a zigzag.

Winter fleece hat

In order to get a particularly warm headdress, a layer of insulation is inserted between the outer and inner layers.

Attention: when using insulation, the parts increase additionally on all sides by 1 - 1.5 cm. Otherwise, the hat will turn out to be small.

The ear areas are reinforced with a piece of jacket fabric, this will prevent blowing.

This manipulation is carried out as follows:

• Cut two circles from a piece of raincoat fabric, about 7 cm in diameter.
• Place the circle to the ear area between the layers of the cap and secure them with running stitches.
• Sew in circles.

We sew a fur hat with earflaps: material for the hat

In order to sew a fur hat with earflaps, you will need not only fur, but also other materials:

• Fur. The most beautiful and luxurious part will go on the visor;
• Material for crown: leather, suede, raincoat fabric, knitwear, etc. For the most daring, you can make the crown from the same fur as the visor with ears;
• Insulation: synthetic winterizer, batting, etc.;
• Lining fabric (choose high-quality fabric, ideally silk);
• If the “ears” have pom-poms, use a cord for them;
• If you want the “ears” to be fixed on the back of the head, use buttons or buttons;
• Optional accessories for the visor.

Rules for taking measurements

A knitted hat for a child is sewn according to 2 main measurements. This is the circumference of the head and the depth (or height) of the product. For a hat with ties that covers the ears, you also need to know the measurements for the side depth of the hat.

The main measurements and measurement technology are given in the following table:

To create a hat pattern, take any pattern from a sewing magazine as a basis or print out a ready-made pattern. You can also trace the outline of another baby hat and add seam allowances.

We make calculations for the wedge

The main part of the hat is the bowler, it consists of 6 wedges. To correctly calculate the base of the wedge, you need to take into account how thick the insulation of the cap will be. If the insulation is thick, you should add 6 cm to the circumference of the head, that is, you get OG = 48 + 6 = 54 cm. Now you can find the width of the wedge 54: 6 = 9 cm. The height of the wedge is found by dividing the distance from the eyebrows to the back of the head in half, that is 34: 2 = 17 cm. Now you can make the first part for the pattern of a children's hat with earflaps - a wedge pattern (1 part in the photo). We get a rectangle whose sides are 9 and 17 centimeters. Mark the center on the top side (9: 2 = 4.5) and build an isosceles triangle. From the middles of the sides of the triangle, we put 1 cm perpendicular to the side, then we connect the top of the triangle and the points of its base with a smooth line.

Simple version of the product

It is recommended to iron the fabric before cutting. If the knitwear has a pattern, it is necessary to position the pattern so that the objects are placed centrally or symmetrically around the center line.

A knitted hat for a child, the pattern of which can be created in just 10 minutes, can be single-layered or with a lining.

First you need to decide on the size of the hat: measure the volume of your head and choose the desired height of the product.

Next, to create a pattern you need:

• Divide the head circumference measurement by 4 and make a deduction for the stretch of the product (for dense fabrics, subtract 0.5 cm, for thinner and more elastic ones - 1 cm).
• On a sheet of paper, construct a rectangle with the following parameters: the width is equal to a quarter of the circumference of the head, taking into account the necessary deductions, the length is the height of the hat with an increase of 5 cm for the lapel (optional).
• On the left side, move 2.5 cm from the corner to the left, and down ¼ of the height of the cap. Connect the dots to get a dart.
• Round the upper left corner of the rectangle.
• The resulting part is ¼ of the cap.

• To create half of the hat pattern, attach the resulting piece to a sheet of folded paper so that the side line with the dart coincides with the fold line, trace the template and cut it out.

Preparing fabric for cutting

The length of the fabric cut for the hat depends on how it will be cut:

• If the product is single-layer, then a fabric size equal to 1 cap length plus an increase for the lapel will be sufficient.
• For a two-layer model without a seam on the bottom fold, you will need double the length of fabric.
• If the hat is double-sided, made of knitwear of different colors, you need to take 2 pieces of fabric, equal in length to one size of the length of the hat.

Sequencing

The main characteristic of knitted fabric is its elasticity. It can stretch in one direction or in two. When cutting products, you should pay attention to the main direction of stretching and place the pattern strictly perpendicular to the direction of the stretching line.

For correct cutting you need:

• Fold the piece of fabric across the stretch line with the right side facing inward.
• Attach the hat pattern, trace it with chalk or pencil and cut out the resulting parts, leaving a 1 cm seam allowance.
• When cutting out two-layer products, the fabric needs to be folded across and separately cut out 2 parts with a fold at the bottom.
• To sew a hat with a lining, cut out 4 identical parts or 2 parts with a side fold.

How to choose a hat size for a child

When a child is very small, he is only a few months old, it is difficult to take him to clothing stores, so you need to buy hats according to your own measurements. Determining the size of a children's headdress is quite simple. It is recommended to use a centimeter, or, as a last resort, a thread that does not stretch. The centimeter must be applied to the most convex point of the head, and placed in front above the child’s eyebrows.

Pattern of a cap for a newborn

Do not tighten the tape, and if necessary, round the result up. The number that turns out will be the size of the headdress. For example, if the measurements give a result of 42 cm, then it is better to take the size of the product 43. When purchasing, you need to focus on the age of the baby.

Use of baby fabric

In the first years of life, the baby grows very quickly, so it is not advisable to buy many hats of the same size at once. Approximately every 2 months you need to take new products. Sometimes you can buy things to grow. For babies, size 44 is suitable, in six months you can safely buy 46, and in a year from 48 and above. These are averages and may vary for different babies because each person is different.

After one year, the size of the head will change, but not at a rapid rate. It is advisable to take measurements every six months and note changes. For sewing, regular knitwear is perfect, which is easy to care for. For the winter option, plush fabric is suitable, but in this case it is necessary to make a lining so that the headdress keeps its shape well.

Sewing

A knitted hat for a child has a simple pattern that even an inexperienced craftswoman can handle. Sewing a hat takes no more than 30 minutes.

To complete the work you need:

• Place the cut pieces right sides facing each other and pin the edges together with sewing pins.
• Sew the edges on a machine and overcast them with an overlocker or a special machine stitch.
• To ensure even seams, iron the product with an iron.
• Sew the darts in one line. Carefully align the previously stitched seams to create a beautiful intersection of lines on the front side.
• Finish the edges of the dart with an overlocker.
• Sew the bottom of the hat with an overlock stitch and fold it inward by 2-2.5 cm. Pin the hem and sew the edge on a machine, departing 1.5 cm from the fold.

Cap for a newborn baby: sewing master class from three parts

To work we will need:

• fabric of natural composition;
• threads;
• scissors, pins, needles;
• sewing machine and overlocker.

Description

Cut out the parts of the hat. To do this, fold the fabric in half and mark out the pattern pieces - 2 side panels and 1 central part. Then we fix the fabric with pins and cut it out without seam allowances, since they are already taken into account in the pattern.

We sew down the details. Which seam to make - external or internal - depends on the material chosen. Caps for babies should be safe and comfortable. For soft fabrics, it is permissible to make internal seams and then finish them with a facing. For stiffer fabrics, the seam should only be external. In our master class we will perform an external seam.

We sew the seam.

Cut a strip 5 cm wide and equal to the front line of the cap. For this part, you can use a special knitted fabric - ribana, or replace it with any thin and elastic one.

Folding the strip in half and stretching it slightly, sew it to the hat. We sew the seam.

On the front side we make seam allowances of 0.3 - 0.5 mm from the seams.

Cut a long strip of thin material for the ties. Its width is 5 cm, length 60-70 cm.

Sew a strip along the bottom edge of the cap. To do this, fold the parts with the wrong sides, having previously aligned their centers. When making a seam, we place small folds near the side seams of the cap.

Turn the cap right side out. Fold the facing in half, placing the allowances inside. We sew the line, retreating 2-3 mm. When making a seam, overlap the first stitching line.

We sew the short ends of the ties several times and cut off the excess allowance. Or you can tie the ends in a knot instead.

Iron the seams.

Beanie

To make a hat with a flip at the top of the head, you only need to sew 3 seams. Job completion time: 10 minutes. To cut a hat, you need to place the fabric in front of you and set aside along the stretch line a size equal to the circumference of your head and subtract 4 cm for tension. Measure 55 cm in height and cut out the part.

The nuances of making a beanie hat:

• First you need to fold the rectangle in half, perpendicular to the stretch line, align the side cuts and pin them together with pins.
• Next, lay a straight machine stitch along the edge, leaving a hole (5 cm long) in the seam for subsequent turning of the product.
• The next step allows you to create a curl at the top of the head. To do this, you need to place the stitched part in front of you vertically, take the upper right corner and align it with the lower left corner of the rectangle. Then take the top left corner and align it with the bottom right corner.
• The bottom cut produces 4 layers of fabric. The middle 2 layers need to be moved slightly inward and the 2 outer layers need to be pinned together.
• Next you need to start sewing the chipped sections together using a machine. Having reached the opposite edge, you need to do the following: gradually begin to straighten the folded edges and continue sewing in a circle. As a result, the machine stitch will be laid along the entire lower circumference.
• After stitching, the product must be turned inside out. The hole must be sewn up on the front side with a hidden seam or machine stitched.

Lined

A lined hat is made from a knitted outer material and lining fabric. If you plan to wear a hat with a lapel, then the color of the lining should be chosen so that it is in harmony with the main color of the hat. To sew, you need to create a pattern or use a ready-made printed pattern. A lined hat can have a classic cut, a beanie shape, or a model with triangular ears.

To sew a hat with a lining, you need to do the following:

• Cut out 2 pieces from the main and lining fabric.
• Turn the hat base blank inside out and sew the back seam and darts.
• On the lining piece, sew a back seam and a front dart. Leave the middle undercuts unsewn.
• Place the lining piece into the base blank. The front sides of both parts should be facing each other.
• Sew the bottom edges with an overlock stitch.
• Turn the hat right side out through the hole in the lining. Sew the hole closed with a blind stitch.

Models of hats for men, women, children

Nowadays, hats made from this material are in fashion - on the street, in magazines there are countless options. Looking at them, you will notice that men, women and children have different fleece hats.

• The stronger half of humanity prefers to wear simple, tight-fitting models without unnecessary decoration with a lapel or its imitation . At the same time, men usually try to stick to a restrained color scheme, giving preference to black, gray, dark blue, and beige.
• Women and girls feel more free to choose colors and styles. Bright berets, turbans, hats with pom-poms, tight-fitting headdresses with colored appliqué are all acceptable. Although more discreet options are invariably in demand.
• Children love colorful things, and are happy to wear green, blue, light blue, yellow, and red hats. Models with ears , like those of a cat, a fox or a bear, are very popular now

There are universal styles that suit everyone, regardless of gender and age.

These are, for example, sports models that fit tightly to the head; beanie hats. They are quite neutral and easier to combine with other wardrobe items.

Double sided

A knitted hat for a child (the pattern and cutting diagram are presented later in the article) can be sewn from one piece of material and look exactly the same inside and out. Before sewing, you need to create a pattern.

To do this you need:

• Take a sheet folded in half and set aside from the fold an amount equal to ¼ of the length of the head circumference, and at the top measure the length of the cap and build a rectangle from the resulting points.
• From the top, retreat 2.5 cm from the fold line, and down a distance equal to ¼ of the length of the cap. Connect the resulting points and cut the corner along the line.
• On the other side, smoothly round the corner of the rectangle.

The resulting part is a pattern for half of the hat. When cut from the bottom and left, it will have folds.

To cut and sew a hat, you need to do the following:

• Fold the fabric so that the fold lines on the fabric coincide with the fold lines on the pattern, and cut out 1 solid piece of the hat with undercuts and seam allowances.
• Sew the middle undercuts using a machine.
• Fold the piece in half with the right side inward and sew with a continuous stitch in a circle. For turning inside out, leave an unstitched space of 4-5 cm long.
• Turn the hat inside out through the hole left and sew it with a hidden seam.

In addition, you can sew a simple scarf from the same fabric with a button closure. To do this, sew a rectangle of the desired length (so that it fits freely around the neck) from the inside out around the perimeter using an overlocker. Sew a fabric loop on one narrow side. Next, turn the product inside out through the hole left and sew on a button.

Constructing a drawing of a cap pattern

The standard model of a hat for a child is sewn from two parts. It is very easy to do, even a person without experience can do it. The pattern of a hat for a newborn can consist of three parts or more, but the complexity of the work will increase.

Building the bottom

Length of the bottom of the product. Make a right angle where point O will be the vertex. Next, the length of the bottom of the cap is canceled, about 10 cm.

Bottom width at top. From vertex O to the right, measure 5 cm and make point O2.

Bottom width. From line O1 to the right, measure 5 cm, make point O3. Connect measurements of O2 and O3 together. Next, divide line OO2 in half and mark O4. From O2 down, count 3 cm and make O5. Make 1.5 cm from O2 along the corner and place point O6. Then connect O4, O6, O5 with a straight line.

Construction of the main part

Make a right angle and mark the vertex M.

Base length. From the top of M, measure 16 cm down and make point M1.

Base width. From point M to the right, lay 10 cm and make point M2. Since the width of the cap at the top is 2 cm greater than at the bottom, then count 12 cm to the right from place M1 and make point M3. Now connect M2 and M3 with a line. From point M3 up, make 2 cm and add point M4. Now M4 and M1 need to be connected.

The back of a child's cap

To pattern a baby cap for newborns, you need paper and a pencil.

Product with frill

You need to carefully draw a beautiful rectangle. It can be marked as ABSD, the vertical lines AD and BC will be of equal length 15 cm (half head circumference, and an additional 2 cm):

The horizontal lines AB and DS will be the width of the occipital lobe and also of the same size, 7 cm.

Line of the front and bottom of the cap

From line C you need to draw a segment CD and set aside 2 cm.

Connect points B and 1 (below). Connect point 1 (on the bottom line) to the place where it will be sewn on the product. This can be seen in the figure below.
