Pattern and description of knitting a hooded hat knitting needles can be found in various thematic publications devoted to needlework. The model, which combines both a scarf and a hat, has been popular for many years, as it allows you to look fashionable and feel comfortable even in the cold season. Hooded hats were previously worn by fishermen and wealthy nobles. In the 19th century, for example, knitted hoods were called "Bashlyk", and they were worn over the main headdresses in cold or damp weather.
Fashionable models of women's and children's knitted bonnets
A knitted hooded hat, the pattern and description of which can be found both in old knitting magazines and in modern glossy magazines, is one of the favorite headwear among women of all ages. The advantage of such a wardrobe item is that it combines several things necessary for the cold season: a hood and a scarf.
Models for girls can be both classic, made with garter stitch, and decorated with braids, pimples, cones or leaves. In addition, models with ears are also popular with children. Adult women also do not deny themselves the pleasure of wearing a warm and comfortable headdress in the cold season.
The advantage of a hooded hat is that it:
- easy to remove;
- maintains hairstyle;
- does not require an additional storage bag;
- ideally suits any face shape;
- individual accessory.
The hooded hat is called differently, and it depends on the method of its knitting. For example, a snood is not only a wide scarf knitted in a circle, but also a headdress that will protect you from the cold wind in any weather. Recently, a snood with a drawstring has become especially popular, which allows you to adjust the diameter of the opening for the face.
A bonnet is also a type of hooded hat. It differs from a snood in that this product has ties on the neck or a small warm stand-up collar.
At the end of 2019, knitted balaclava hats appeared, which can also be classified as a variety of models. Such a headdress covers not only the neck, back of the head, head and forehead from the frost, but also part of the face from the chin to the nose.
Tools and materials for knitting
A knitted hooded hat, the diagram and description of which will help even a novice needlewoman to create a unique headdress, requires careful selection of materials for its creation.
Before you start knitting, experts recommend deciding on:
- style;
- material;
- headset.
A quality product will only be obtained with the correct selection of all the listed components. For a knitted hood for the fall-spring season, you can take thin non-wool threads. Such a product will be light, and its knitting will be small. To create a winter snood or hood, it is recommended to use a woolen thread with the addition of acrylic. The headdress will be dense and warm, and the loops will be larger than in the previous version.
To create a hood-hat you need:
- knitting needles;
- large pin;
- thread holder;
- hook;
- yarn.
If desired, you can decorate the product with the selected fittings.
Types of yarn used for different seasons of the year:
Winter | Spring |
Alpaca | Acrylic |
Angora | Viscose |
Merino | Polyamide |
Mohair | Cotton |
Fleece | |
Cotton |
Manufacturers often mix natural thread with artificial yarn to give it universal qualities. For example, to ensure that the material does not fade for a long time, acrylic is added to the yarn, and to make the thread stretch and not break, polyamide is added.
