Types of hats
A beanie is a nice knitted hat that fits snugly around the head. It can be of different styles: with a visor or with a turn-up.
The beret is one of the most common hats that suits almost everyone. They are made from different fabrics.
A snood is a soft, warm and comfortable item of clothing. The hat can be made of wool or fleece.
A hat with earflaps is a cozy winter hat made from fur, sheepskin coat, and thick materials.
What is the coefficient of stretchability and how to find it
Before sewing a knitted hat, you need to understand what the stretch coefficient is. The stretch coefficient is the ratio of the length of the stretched fabric during stretching to the length of the sample before applying force.
It is very easy to determine. You need to take the material from which the product will be sewn and stretch it, having marked the reference point in advance.
How to sew a fly agaric mushroom hat for a child
Tools required:
- 60 cm of cotton fabric in blue and hot pink tones;
- 60 cm foam rubber;
- light colored felt for the mushroom;
- light-colored satin ribbon;
- elastic band;
- needle and thread;
- pins;
- sketch paper;
- scissors;
- compass;
- overlock.
From the white material, you need to cut out a large circle, also making an allowance of 2 cm around the entire perimeter. From beige felt, make 15 circles of 5 cm each. Distribute them evenly over the mushroom cap and pin them, allowances are not needed here.
Iron the fabric with the circles sewn on. Sew the top of the mushroom with pins, folding the side allowances inward and forming a cone.
The lower and upper parts need to be sewn together. To do this, combine the blanks with the right sides inward, baste them by hand and stitch them on an overlock. Manually sew a cone of foam rubber and insert it into the blank made of material. To do this, pull the pins out of the pink fabric to make a hole.
Pull the bottom part to the top, secure it to the top of the mushroom using a needle and thread, pulling the white fabric as tight as possible.
Sew on satin ribbons on both sides and elastic.
