How to sew a bath hat: pattern, crocheted from felt

Cool hats for baths and saunas are now sold on almost any layout. They are made in different colors and are often decorated with all sorts of comic inscriptions like “Life is good” or “Oh, bathhouse and beer.” Many people think that these for the bath are just a stylish accessory, but in fact this is far from the case.

Felted or linen bath hats are necessary, first of all, to ensure that the head is reliably protected from overheating during the steam room. After all, sauna and steam bath lovers often heat the steam room to an unrealistically high temperature, at which one can easily get heatstroke or faint. Often a trip to the bathhouse leads to such consequences.

Therefore, it is highly advisable to acquire such a hat when going to the bathhouse or sauna with friends. However, if the options offered by sellers do not suit you, try making a bathhouse hat yourself. We will tell you how to do this below.

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.

Knitting

The hat is knitted using stockinette stitch; the increases form six wedges.
ADDI circular knitting needles No. 3.5 (like these). Yarn thickness 8/2 (400 m per 100 grams), color Flame. Yarn consumption - 70 grams. You can knit in the round, you can knit flat, and then sew a hat. I knitted the first 30 rows not in the round, and when the width of the hat became large enough, I switched to circular knitting. The whole hat was knitted in 2.5 hours.

Having read advice on Osinka that shrinkage after felting can be 35-50%, I started knitting a large hat. (In the photo, the finished hat lies on an inch grid)

Knitting instructions:

We cast on 18 loops. We evenly add 6 loops in every second row until there are 120 loops on the knitting needles (20 loops in each wedge) Then we make increases in every fourth row until there are 156 loops on the knitting needles (26 loops in each wedge) Then we knit without increases of 6 cm. For the brim of the hat, again evenly add 6 loops in every second row until you get 198 loops (33 loops in each wedge). Close the loops, sew up the crown and hide the ends of the threads.

Material for sewing bathhouse hats

Felt. Non-woven material with high density, its thickness reaches several millimeters. Felt is produced manually from wool fibers using the felting method. The thickness of the felt pieces can vary depending on its purpose. Sheep wool is traditionally used as a raw material. Under the influence of hot steam and water, the cuticles of the hairs adhere tightly to each other, resulting in the formation of a dense, light mass.

Felt. This is “refined” felt. Its production requires finer wool from goats, rabbits, and merino wool. The technology for felting felt and felt is almost the same. This is one of the most ancient technologies that appeared long before the development of weaving. Sometimes synthetic fibers are added to felt. Types of felt: smooth (velor), fleecy. Thanks to the soft wool, the felt does not prick, which sometimes happens with coarser felt.

Linen. Natural material of plant origin. It has a beneficial effect on the scalp because... The phenolic compounds it contains destroy bacteria and fungus. A linen hat will well protect your scalp from drying out and your head from overheating at the highest temperatures. Finnish linen sauna hats are very comfortable, original and varied in design.

Cotton. Hygienic material, used for making hats along with linen

Cotton bathhouse caps are valued for their qualities: hygroscopicity, anti-allergenicity, which is important if you are allergic to wool. Since a thin hat is not suitable for a steam room, choose terry fabrics for it

In the absence of a special bath cap, you can wrap your head with a terry towel.

Do I need to fold the edges of kitchen towels?

The shape of the finished towel may vary. For convenience, women sew such products with loops or “purses” with a clasp at the top, on which an unusual towel is hung. The edge of the canvas can be folded (twice), then stitched so that it does not fray. You can simply cover it with a special tape for finishing the edges. The bottom, top and sides of the product are also trimmed with a zigzag or trimmed with other fabric in the form of ruffles, frills, etc.

How to process the edges of a towel?

When processing the edges, so that the corners do not turn out too thick, it is advisable to cut off small pieces of fabric in these places with scissors, then all the folds will come out extremely neat.

If you decide to trim the edge with a special ribbon for this type of work, then choose the color of the ribbon to match the towel itself. Then everything will be in harmony.

How to make a lining pattern

Although the pattern is extremely simple, it is not recommended to immediately draw on the fabric. The lining of a knitted hat usually consists of four or six identical wedges. There are also options in five parts. The more wedges, the better the hat will fit on your head.

Constructing a pattern

Measure the volume of your head or just remember what size the hat was knitted for. Let's say 54 cm.
Divide the volume of the head into 6 parts. It turns out 54/6=9 cm. Plus 1 cm added for seams.
Measure the height of the hat. Let's say 20 cm. Add 1 cm of height for the seam.
Measure a 10 cm segment on paper. Find its middle and draw a perpendicular straight line up, mark a point after 21 cm.
Draw two straight lines from the beginning and end of the segment upwards, mark points every 15 cm. From them draw smooth lines to the central point.
The result should be a piece resembling a smooth triangle. Cut out.
For a cap of four wedges, the following calculations: 54/4 = 13.5 cm. Plus 1 cm for margin. This is the base of the triangle. Next, the pattern is constructed in a similar way.

Primary requirements

Before purchasing a product, you need to know exactly what requirements apply to it. The first factor is safety to stay healthy.

The best option would be a product based on natural materials.

Important! It is not recommended to use a cap made of rubber. They are prohibited from wearing when visiting the bath and health complex.

When the rubber heats up, it can shrink, which can compress the blood vessels of the head. This negatively affects the blood circulation of the brain vessels. The consequences are nausea, soreness and fainting.

One of the selection criteria is protection. The product eliminates possible burns and overheating. It also prevents the development of fungus and bacteria on the scalp. Thus, seborrhea can be excluded. Based on these parameters, the material should not serve as a source of the “greenhouse effect”, but maintain a comfortable temperature.

The requirement for the product is practicality. The hat should not shrink; on the contrary, it should be washable and quickly become dry. When worn, it should be comfortable and match the size of your head. Positive emotions from hygiene procedures increase when the product has an attractive appearance.

Felting a woolen bath hat

You can not only sew, but also felt a bath hat yourself. There are dry and wet felting. Dry felting requires skill, experience and the presence of a special tool - a felting needle; felting a hat using the wet method is easier for a beginner.

Types of wool for felting hats in the bathhouse

A wool sweater washed in hot water becomes dense, stiff, and reduced in size. In a word, he “felt.” This is the basis for the technique of wet felting a bath hat in a warm soapy solution. To make hats for the bath, different wool is used, differing in thickness, fiber length and production method:

Oches
. Wool with short hairs. Felt is made from it.
Sliver
. Combed wool, without hard hairs, undyed. It is cheaper than dyed yarn. Very good for felting undyed bath hats.
Dyed combed wool
. Its fibers are smooth, unidirectional, elongated. The most common material for making colored bath caps.
Carding
. The wool fibers are tangled, directed in different directions, and it is very easy to felt wet or dry. A popular material, also called “wool wool”, is used to make not too thin felt hats for the bathhouse.
Combed wool from fine-wool sheep (merinos)
. The most expensive, high-quality wool, which is used to make delicate things. Soft and silky felt is suitable for felting model and designer bath caps.

Materials and tools for felting a bath cap

Felting wool (not spun wool of the same or different colors);
Dense material for the form, for example, linoleum or thick cellophane;
Laundry bag (plastic wrap with bubble wrap or any mesh material will do);
Hot soap solution in a proportion of 1 part water and 4 parts liquid soap;
Sprayer or atomizer;
Hat blank (flower pot, three-liter jar).

Wet felting a bath hat

If you decide to make a completely original unique model, then learn the technique of felting hats according to the proposed instructions. It will take time and dexterity, but the result will please you and make you proud of yourself. Let's look at the stages of wet felting a bath hat with your own hands:

Take measurements of your future hat. Make a pattern from thick material. You can use a knitted hat of a suitable size. Trace it on the linoleum with a pencil. Remember to increase the outline size by 30% for shrinkage.
Separate thin fibers from a skein of wool and lay them on the pattern in different directions, overlapping, for better adhesion. Go beyond the edges of the template, the extra pieces of felt will then turn up. Make sure there are no holes, lay thin strands in several layers, as if massaging, press with your fingers. The packing density should be uniform over the entire area of the pattern.
Examine the fabric through the light and cover any possible bald spots. Apply pieces of wool in other directions to strengthen the felt. Repeat this step several times until you get the desired thickness.
Carefully place the hat pieces into a washing bag and spray generously with hot soapy water from a spray bottle. If you don’t have such a bag, wet the product and simply cover it with a film, bubbles down, or a mesh.
Pat the part with your palms for several minutes, gradually increasing the pressure until a rich foam forms. You can roll the workpiece using a gurney or a children's machine.
Remove the film, turn the shape over with the wool down, fold the excess edges onto the pattern, and press well.
Place another layer of wool on top of the pattern and repeat the felting process as in steps 4-6.
Using a dry cloth, thoroughly blot the entire workpiece on both sides. Cut the bottom of the hat with scissors and remove the pattern.
Lather the workpiece well with your hands, inside and out, remembering like dough, until the head thickens and stops falling apart.
Place the wet product on the prepared blank and, smoothing it with your palms, give it shape. Leave to dry.
In cool water, rinse the hat from the soap, alternating hot and cold water, squeeze it lightly without twisting it, and return it to the blank. Shape, leave to dry completely away from heating.
Cut the dried hat to form a helmet, decorate it with decorative elements that can be cut from pieces of colored felted wool. Make the ribbon for decoration thinner than the hat itself, and iron it well before cutting.

How to felt a hat - watch the video: When visiting a sauna or bathhouse, do not forget to take with you your favorite bath accessory - a hat

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a purchased copy or an exclusive one made with your own hands. The main thing is to enjoy the steam room and stay healthy

We sew a fashionable headband. DIY turban-turban. Part 2

I continue the theme of the first part about the “turban-turban” headbands. These headbands and hats are so varied, there is no limit to your imagination. The main thing is that it is fashionable now and such headbands always look beautiful and original. We make a two-layer bandage from woolen knitwear, not double-sided and not two-color, but double - warm. Perhaps I will tell you about other options later.

We buy some knitted fabric - 20-30 cm. It depends on the thickness of the knitted fabric and on your desire to make the headband warm or super warm to wear as a headband, or sometimes as a hat. I have a strip 100 by 26 cm. In the photo I folded it in half, scissors show the direction of the loops.

As in the first bandage, fold the fabric in half, facing inward. It is better to pin such a long strip with needles at the stitching site. This will make it more convenient for you to stitch, especially for those who don’t work much with knitwear. The knitwear may stretch relative to the two sides being sewn and then the seam will need to be unraveled.

We sew this long seam and turn the entire strip onto the face. The photo shows the seam that we place in the middle.

Then we start folding the turban on the side of the face.

And on the back of the head.

Then, just like in the first part of the master class, we stitch the back seam and leave a small hole.

Which needs to be sewn up with exactly the same threads, unraveling a piece of this fabric. Then you need to turn the turban over your face, leaving all the internal seams inside. This is what the back side looks like:

I fasten (the 2 back parts) to each other by hand with threads unraveled from the same fabric so that the headband is solid, but I only do this along the back seam and inside. Nothing is visible on the front side.

This is what the front looks like, which it would be advisable to work with a little more. But you can leave it like this (it’s not for everyone) and adjust it on your head every time you put on the bandage:

But if you want to fix the folds, then exactly in the center of the back seam, fasten the folds with the same thread (from the dissolution) on one side, then on the other side.

This is what you get:

If you want to secure this knot forever, then they need to be sewn together. Be careful not to twist them.

That's all, the headband is ready, you can wear it and enjoy it.

And another girl asked me to sew the same bandage, only single-layer. She looks a little softer and thinner. More small and shallow gatherings. Here is a photo of this dressing, you can compare it with a two-layer one. I need to sew two more single-layer ones, I will try to make a master class on such a bandage.

An openwork hat is a way of self-expression

There are a great variety of hats - for all occasions, for any weather and age.

Panama hats and skullcaps, caps and berets, helmets and caps, caps and hats.
Scarf hats, scarf hats, transformable hats.
Hats with small and long ears, with a visor, ponytail, and braids.
Decorated with embroidery, rhinestones, ribbons, beads;
with an emphasis on the back of the head, plain, with multi-colored ornaments, asymmetrical
etc.

Elegant and flirty, feminine and funny, romantic and stylish hats will tell more about their owner than a service or neighborly characteristic.

First cap

The openwork hat is the third topic in the crochet teaching program. The first is knitting elements: loop, chain, stitch. The second is a small cloth: an oven mitt, a collar, a scarf. The third is a hat. A simple hat, starting from the bottom, with a modest pattern, knitted easily and quickly, remains to live with the owner forever. Even if it turns out to be too small/wide, they won’t dissolve it or throw it away. It will serve as a small relic of the first independent creativity, and inspire the creation of new openwork masterpieces - for daughters and sons, for mothers and mothers-in-law, for girlfriends and bosses.

No to market Panama hats! Yes – to lacy hats and caps!

An openwork hat is a decoration for a woman’s head, regardless of age. It's easy to decorate yourself with a hook. As soon as the basics of knitting hats are mastered, imagination and inspiration come. Senile, saggy Panama hats are a thing of the past. Magic hats made from natural threads with small or large openwork brims appear, which make your head feel so good. The husband is delighted, the neighbors are jealous, and instead of the aunt, a beautiful, elegant Woman appears.

Openwork hat - beanie, knitting pattern

A bath hat protects the head from overheating and heat stroke and prevents the skin from coming into contact with hot steam, which can leave a painful burn if carelessly swung with a broom. When choosing a headdress, everything matters: the material, its density and thickness, the size of the hat and much more. In order not to confuse yourself with the search for a suitable bath helmet, you can sew one.

Let's emphasize individuality

But there are even cooler examples. This is already handmade. Below are the original works of Elena Fedoriv (if you wish, you can order such a wonderful thing from her). If you want to pleasantly surprise a person, this is your option.

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.

What fabric is used to sew a turban?

Initially, a turban is not a ready-made headdress, but strips of fabric wrapped using a special method. The finished design was worn on a hat or scarf. This was done in order to avoid slipping off the head and to give the headdress a more voluminous look. Currently, the turban manufacturing scheme has been slightly modernized - now it is not twisted, but sewn.

To make a truly high-quality product, you need not only to find a step-by-step master class on the Internet on how to pattern a turban, but also to decide on the material from which it will be made. As a rule, brocade or silk is used for tailoring, but in general, any fabric can be used, provided that it is flexible and drapes well.

Brocade turban

An original accessory with an oriental flavor can be sewn from the following types of fabrics:

Silk and chiffon - as a rule, stylish and bright hats are made from these materials.
Viscose and cotton are used if you need to sew a turban to wear on the beach or in nature in hot weather.
Cashmere or velvet are used when you need to get an autumn accessory.
Brocade - this fabric is used to make a bright and elegant headdress.

Chiffon turban If desired, a turban can be worn even in winter. To do this, it is made from natural or artificial fur. You definitely shouldn’t take thick and coarse fabrics, as the headdress made from them will be completely inelastic. In general, the most versatile option would be knitwear. You can use it to make a summer, autumn and winter turban, or make a children's turban for matinees or masquerades. But this material must also be of high quality.

Additional Information! The most successful turban colors for women are black, sand, gray and wine.

Diversity

Living in an era of enormous choice, we sometimes get lost in front of a colossal assortment of goods. We are ready to spend hours selecting the accessories we like that can diversify our life and enrich our vacation with bright, unforgettable moments. Even such a seemingly insignificant thing as a bath hat has been decorated by modern life in such a way that by wearing it, you will not only protect yourself from overheating in the steam room, but you will also be able to transform yourself into an original, cheerful character.

For example, the “Budenovka” bathhouse hat is very popular; you can also be offered hats in the form of a cocked hat, papakha, or kokoshnik. However, the classic bell hat remains traditional and especially popular. If desired, it is quite possible to make it yourself, for example, sew it from ready-made material or felt it from wool fibers. Let's consider both options.

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.

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.
Knitted hat for a child, a simple pattern.
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.

Important properties of bath caps

A headdress purchased for a bath or made by hand must meet the following requirements:

safety – the use of natural fabrics that do not emit toxic substances at high temperatures;
protection – ensuring health, protection from burns and heat strokes, maintaining a comfortable head temperature;
comfort – the bath cap should be comfortable and match the size of the head;
practicality - the material of the headdress should be quick-drying and non-fading;
attractiveness – the design of the hat should bring positive emotions to the owner and others.

The shape of the bath cap can be varied. The main thing is that the back of the head is closed and protected from hot temperatures. Otherwise, after visiting the bathhouse you will experience a severe migraine, nausea as a result of heat stroke, or worse consequences. Eyes and hair should also be insulated from hot air and boiling water. Under such conditions, staying in the bathhouse will be safe for health.

What to look for when choosing

The choice of a bath cap does not depend on which bath you like best.

Try to be guided by the following criteria:

comfort of wearing;
health safety;
ease of maintenance and operation - washing, drying;
the beauty of the headdress;
head protection from heat stroke.

Let's look at the last point in more detail.

In the photo - options for bath caps

Choosing a model based on face type

Let us dwell on the classification of styles recommended for a certain type of face:

If you have an oval-shaped face, then any shape will suit you, just beware of too tall ones, they lengthen the oval of the face.

Those with a long face should pay attention to low models with horizontal seams and folds. Abundant turban decor is also for you.

Chubby girls will suit tall, raised styles.

We soften the features of a square face with light folds and draperies.

The decor is minimal.

A triangular face - a heart shape - will be favorably emphasized by a massive turban with all sorts of decorative additions.

The bottom edge is free.
We form the assembly at the front. You can fold it, or just tie it with thread. It is more convenient to gradually pull the material from the back of the turban and make folds from it on the front.
We attach the brooch.
Let's try it on.

Long billet turban

The model is sewn according to the principle of a regular hat, the previous pattern will work well, but we lengthen our hat to get beautiful folds in the front and back.

Required:

knitted fabric;
matching threads;
decor

Progress:

We make a pattern; you can use any comfortable hat.
Add 20-25 centimeters down to the paper pattern along the bottom seam. We get a “stocking”.

Advice! You can make the lower and upper parts of the pattern separately; the turban will be sewn together. This will help save fabric.

We lay out the parts of the “stocking” on a previously prepared fabric and shallow it.
Cut out, not forgetting the seam allowances.
Sew the front and back parts of the turban.
We process the bottom cut.
We begin to form gathers or folds along the front and back of the turban. We make the folds deeper along the front.
We secure the folds with several stitches and add decor if necessary.
Let's try it on.

Making a bell hat for a bathhouse yourself

The third method is implemented in two ways. The hat can be felted from wool or sewn from ready-made material.

Felting a bath hat

What do you need for felting?

Wool. Obtained by shearing sheep. After shearing, the fleece is dirty. Therefore, it is thoroughly washed, removing grass and dirt. The washed wool is carefully combed several times.

You don't have to do this yourself. You can purchase ready-made wool for felting at a specialized store.

Pattern of a bell hat.

Tip: Buy combed sliver rather than fleece wool. The latter may still contain pieces of uncombed wool. Carded sliver is the final step in wool processing.

Basic soap solution. It is prepared in the ratio of one tablespoon of soap per liter of water. The water heats up to 60 degrees. Then the soap dissolves in it.

Workplace. A plastic film is spread on the floor or a strong, reliable table, and a rubber mat is placed on top. On top of the rug is a shaped film (the one that is covered in pimples).

This structure is surrounded in a circle with towels rolled into rolls. From above, the entire structure is again covered with a shaped film. Its use is not accidental. Pimples contribute to better felting.

The result is an impromptu bath that must not let the soap solution leave the designated area.

In addition, you will have to acquire: scissors, a hat block, paper, a rolling pin, a felting needle.

First there must be a pattern

The bath hat pattern is quite simple to prepare.

Budenovka hat pattern

We take the size of the head circumference (by the ears) - this is the width of the hat or the volume of the head. The size from the ear to the crown is the depth of the hat. Don't forget to take into account the size of the fields.

The width of a pattern or template is found by dividing the volume of the head by two and multiplying by the shrinkage percentage. Take 30% - you can't go wrong.

The template height is the depth of the header multiplied by the shrinkage percentage. Plus the size of the fields calculated in a similar way.

According to the obtained dimensions, we will construct a hat pattern on a sheet of thick paper, cut it out and transfer the pattern to shaped film. Be sure to check the symmetry of the hat pattern relative to the longitudinal axis.

Play around, but don't be a fool

Place the finished pattern in the previously prepared bath.

We tear off pieces from the combed woolen tape and lay them out on the pattern in a vertical direction, with an allowance on the top and sides.

We wet it with soapy water, cover it with film and begin the felting process. Simply crush the wool by hand or using a rolling pin. Carefully turn the pattern over and place the wool on it in the same way, folding in the allowances left earlier. Let's roll again.

Lay out the second layer horizontally. We wet it again, cover it with film and roll it out.

In this way we process from two to four layers. The higher the number of layers, the denser your hat will be.

When the formation of layers is completed, it is time to carefully work with a rolling pin. The hat must be rolled at least 500 times on both sides.

The hat begins to fall off and sit down. We cut the workpiece from below and carefully remove the pattern. Carefully press out the seams by hand.

Further, the process proceeds without a workpiece. We crumple the hat and roll it out like yeast dough. Unlike the latter, we constantly smooth out our work and squeeze out excess water. We remove the film and throw our hats on the table. Between throws we straighten and smooth the almost finished product. During the felting process, be sure to keep track of the desired size of the hat. To do this, we have a hat blank or our own head with a plastic bag on it. At first the hat will be very large, but as the felting process progresses its size decreases. The main thing is not to miss the moment of truth.

When finished, thoroughly rinse the hat and hang it to dry on a hat block or three-liter glass jar.

Advice:

the soap solution must be hot all the time;
you need to work with the pattern inside the workpiece for as long as possible;
shape and shrinkage should be monitored as often as possible;
for better felting, use a punch felting needle;
bubble wrap can be replaced with smooth curtain fabric;
It would be a good idea to lubricate your hands with cream before and after work;
If you have delicate skin, it is better to use rubber gloves.

That's all the wisdom. As you can see, everything ingenious is simple. A piece like this could make a wonderful gift. Let the love and warmth of your hands protect him not only at home, but also where he is hiding from you with friends.

Why is there a hat in the bathhouse?

Surely everyone has heard that in hot countries, for example in Central Asia, people dress strangely, to say the least. Even in forty-degree heat, residents of Turkmenistan can walk around in warm robes and large hats on their heads. For our mentality this seems surprising and unacceptable, but such attire is much more subject to common sense than we think. The point is that under thick, thick clothing a constant body temperature is maintained, regardless of the hot climate of the environment.

The burning rays of the sun do not penetrate through the shaggy hat, so the head remains cheerful and fresh. A large amount of sweat released on the body protects a person from overheating. Sometimes it’s worth learning some of the traditions of peoples living in extreme conditions. By the way, these same residents of hot countries drink hot tea at high temperatures, due to which the body does not lose heat balance and, accordingly, dehydration does not occur.

In a Russian steam room, if the interior decoration of the bathhouse is done correctly and the stove allows it, you can increase the temperature so extreme that they will be much higher than even those to which the residents of Turkmenistan are accustomed. Therefore, protection from overheating is no less important here.

Of course, no one will wear a cotton robe in the bathhouse, but it is imperative to protect the head, which is largely associated with the process of thermoregulation of the entire body. If this is not done, then exposure to high temperature on the head can lead to various consequences, including a heart attack and loss of consciousness. Hats for baths and saunas maintain the thermoregulation of the head at the same level as before visiting the steam room, which allows you to increase the time you spend in hot conditions.

Caps for visiting a bathhouse or sauna come in different shapes. First of all, the requirements should be taken into account that they cover the back of the head and eyes. They sat well and did not slip. This will protect the scalp, hair and face from possible burns.

They are purchased by people who pay attention to their health

The back of the head is the most vulnerable; 50% of the liquid evaporates through it. This area of the head contains the most important parts of the brain. Products in the shape of a bell and budenovka are popular. An unusual design in the form of a kokoshnik, cowboy, etc. can be chosen.

Similar headdresses are sewn from different materials. Felt-based hats help you have a great time in the steam room and get a healing effect. The product is characterized by volume, the layer of fabric reaches one centimeter. At the same time it is light in weight. The product is also soft, protecting the head from the high temperatures present in the steam room.

From felt

This is a more advanced version of felt material. It is soft in accordance with its structure. The product is quite pleasant to the touch. And this is the main advantage of felt over felt, since it does not irritate the scalp. The natural material has the property of allowing air to pass through and provides protection to the vessels of the head from temperature changes. The fabric is capable of evaporation and absorption of moisture. Felt is made by felting, but does not have a pronounced wool smell.

Made from linen

The production of linen products can maintain a stable body temperature, having a positive effect on it. Flax contains phenol, which destroys bacteria. They have the ability to actively spread in a steam room in a humid environment. Linen will not lead to loss of excessive amounts of moisture, which will protect the skin and hair from drying out.

The linen-based texture of the bath cap will make it comfortable and pleasant. Cotton has the advantage of increased hygroscopicity. The material has the ability to quickly absorb and evaporate moisture. At the same time, cotton is hypoallergenic and hygienic. Experts recommend choosing terry types of products.
