Bathhouse hats - cool, for gifts, how to make a felted hat with your own hands, sewn patterns

A bathhouse is a place where we rest, relax, and receive positive emotions. And what better than humor and jokes to lift your spirits and improve your well-being? Yes, probably only my favorite things. And if you combine all this, can you imagine what the effect will be? And what kind of things can be in the bathhouse? Apart from a hat and a towel, probably nothing. So we will look for towel hats with humor...

In the design of towels, there were a few interesting ideas: there were only a pair of arms and legs that could be considered an interesting option, but only for men. But how much joy they will bring to friends... Not a bad gift, by the way, if you don’t know what to please a friend who likes to take a steam bath.

Taking into account hobbies and professions

There are many more interesting ideas for designing bath caps. Some are produced by various small factories, but there are also original works. Let's start with the factory ones. The well-known bell hats are no longer interesting. There's only something exclusive there, that's the inscription. But finding a bath hat that will hint (or shout) about another hobby of its owner besides bathing is already interesting. For example, there is a samurai set - a bamboo broom and a strange hat. Steaming with a bamboo broom is probably for the “advanced,” but a hat can bring a lot of fun.

For football fans there are ball-shaped hats. For dandies who prefer jeans and wide-brimmed “a la cowboy” hats, there are also such options.

Knowing your friends’ hobbies, it’s easy to choose a bath cap

I found an interesting bathhouse hat in the shape of a knight's helmet, there is also one with pilot's glasses, a cap, a cap, a hat with bands. So there’s already room to roam around here.

These are no longer hats. These are bath hats

We felt bath hats with our own hands

Now a little practice for those who want to try their hand at felting hats. In general, it will be possible to make not only hats, but also mittens, oven mitts, even bath slippers. The main thing is to master the technique. And then everything is limited only by your imagination: both the technique and the material are very flexible and literally anything can be done.

For the first time we will make a simple round-shaped hat. If desired, the edges can be made longer so that they can be folded upward when finished. They can also be made in a different color.

This is the process of felting

What is necessary

The technique of wet felting is easier to master. Products can be customized in shape and size. In order to make a bath hat with your own hands, you will need some simple accessories:

Special wool for felting. It comes in different colors - whatever you want, buy it. The color transitions are interesting. At first, you won’t get a masterpiece, but you may well get a nice thing through transitions.
Liquid (dissolved or commercial) soap and warm water. We will use them to moisten the wool so that it falls off faster.
Two pieces of bubble wrap (packaging).
A piece of thick plastic film from which you will need to cut a pattern.
Towel or soft cotton cloth - to remove excess water.
Synthetic mesh - a piece of an old nylon curtain will do, so that there are no large holes, and the base itself is mesh. You can use a piece of plastic film - it will be a little more difficult to work with, but the quality will not change.
Large rolling pin, wooden roller massager, etc. - but this is optional. These devices just help speed up the process and make it less taxing on your hands.

The set is simple, the only thing you need to spend money on is wool. Everything else can be found on the farm or from friends and acquaintances.

Hat pattern

For felting, a pattern is a relative concept. The product itself, when wet, is very plastic; you can give it any shape, stretch it a little or, conversely, shrink it. But still, we can’t do without a base for a hat.

Measuring and creating a pattern. For a felted hat, it then needs to be increased by 1/3

We measure the circumference of the head above the ears, and also measure the distance from the ear to the top of the head. How to do this - look at the photo. Our hat is simple, with a round crown. Therefore, we make a simple pattern, without any frills. Our wool will fall off, which will lead to a decrease in size. That’s why we make the pattern a third larger.

The height of the pattern for a bath cap is the distance you measured from the tip of your ear to the top of your head, increased by 1/3. If it is, for example, 15 cm, then you need to add another 15/3 = 5 cm. The total height of the pattern is 15 cm + 5 cm = 20 cm.

And this is the simplest option, which is the best one to start with.

Width is half the circumference of your head, also increased by 1/3. Let the head circumference be 56 cm. One third of it is 56 cm/2/3 = 9.3 cm. It can be increased by 9 cm. So, the width of the pattern is 56 cm/2 + 9 cm = 37 cm. Draw a domed pattern according to the received sizes and cut it out of a piece of thick plastic film.

Laying out wool

Now we lay a piece of bubble wrap and place the pattern on it. We take wool for felting. It is sold in tape form. We pinch off small pieces from it. It turns out that one side is denser, the other is thinner. Lay it out so that the thick part is on one side and the thin part on the other. Straighten it so that there are no folds or voids.

You can start from the top of the head or from the fields - it’s not so important. Having laid out one row, slightly moving it up or down, they begin to lay the second. Try to keep the thickness the same. So, gradually, the entire pattern is closed.

Felting wool is available in different colors

Please note that there is some fur protruding beyond the edges. This is normal - we need a single piece without a seam, and then we will bend these protruding strands to the other side. They will ensure the connection between the two halves, so that it is not only possible, but also necessary to “climb out” beyond the contour.

Having finished laying out one layer, place another one perpendicularly (across the fibers of the bottom row). The next layer is again at an angle to the previous one. There must be at least four layers in total. For a bath cap, more is possible, less is not.

Now it’s the turn of liquid soap. We dilute it in warm water. The warm composition speeds up the matting of the wool. The solution should be soapy to the touch, but should not foam.

This is what the laid out wool looks like on the pattern

Pour the resulting solution over the wool, pressing it with your hand from above. For now, lateral movements cannot be made - only from above, so as not to displace the fibers and create holes. When all the wool is wet, it, together with the template film, is turned over to the other side. The strands sticking out are wrapped in film. Now the wool is laid out in exactly the same layers on this side, after which we wet it again with a soap solution.

Felting a hat

The wet wool is covered with a second piece of bubble wrap or mesh, ironed well, crushed and begins to felt. Felting means pressing tightly with your palm and moving it a little. With such movements, the scales that are on the wool fibers adhere to each other. At the same time, there is a gradual decrease in size.

Turn the soaked wool along with the pattern over and repeat the procedure.

To avoid rubbing your hands too much, you can use a rolling pin or roller massagers. Someone places the already slightly matted product on a bamboo mat, rolls it into a roll and rolls it several times in this form. Therefore, unfold it again, straighten it, roll it up and ride it.

Felt until the hat becomes dense to the touch. Now you can cut a thin strip at the bottom - along the brim of the hat - and take out the plastic pattern. She stopped two parts of the hat from falling off, but she doesn't need it anymore.

Now the product is given the required shape. Now the wet felt can be stretched, or vice versa, nailed. give it the desired look. You can put a wet hat on your head and pat it down to fit. The last stage is drying. To prevent the shape from changing, take an oval-shaped inflatable ball and inflate it a little. When it becomes close in size to the hat, insert the ball inside and bring it to the size of the hat. This way the hat will not change its size or lose its shape.

What you will need

When felting wool hats, it is more convenient to use the wet method. This master class is dedicated specifically to him: when wet felting a hat, the author works with a solution rather than needles, which makes the process less dangerous; The technique is labor-intensive, but simple.

We will need:

Wool. In specialized stores you can buy carded yarn - this is yarn that has gone through all stages of processing, except machine carding, and is convenient to work with.
Decor.
Film with bubbles.
Polyethylene for the backing.
Soap solution. To prepare it, a bar of soap is crushed using a grater and poured with two liters of boiling water. Stir until the chips are completely dissolved and sit for two hours to thicken. You can also use regular liquid soap.
Massager/rolling pin.

DIY sewn bath caps

For those who know how to use a sewing machine, it is probably easier to sew than to bother with felting and wool. Here everything is exactly the same, only the seams are made either externally or the fabrics are joined end-to-end using a zigzag or other similar stitch.

The peculiarity lies in the choice of material. It can be felt, thick wool, no less dense linen, but folded several times. The principle of choosing fabric is simple: the denser the better. Next, use the pattern to cut out the parts and grind them down. Whether seam allowances are needed or not depends on how you plan to connect the pieces. If it is butted, allowances are not needed, cut exactly according to the pattern. If the seam is external, its height is no more than 5 mm. Accordingly, set aside this distance.

Types of wool for felting

Before you buy wool, you need to know about its varieties. To make bath caps with your own hands, you can use:

Carding. Its second name is “wool wool”. Products made from it are quite thick. Good for beginners as it is very easy to felt. Suitable for felting both wet and dry.
Sliver. This is a combed type of yarn. There are no hard hairs in it. Unpainted, which is why it costs less than colored counterparts. An excellent choice for felting bath hats.
Colored combed wool. High-quality and expensive-looking material. Has thin unidirectional fibers. Often used to decorate bath caps.
Merino wool. Elite material. Used in the manufacture of thin things. Expensive designer hats are made from it.

Working with wool is a real pleasure. Natural material is pleasant to the touch, environmentally friendly and gives room for imagination. Felting a product from it is faster than knitting it from yarn or sewing a similar one from fabric.

Bath caps can be felted or sewn in a variety of shapes. For example, products in the shape of a watermelon, pumpkin, and ladybug are popular.

Children's hat made of jersey with lining

For lower temperatures, the thin version is no longer suitable. It is necessary to insulate yourself, and for this you should make a hat with a lining.

Making a pattern for a hat with lining

There are no differences in construction from the previous version. Do everything strictly according to the instructions. Only now this operation will have to be repeated twice: on the knitted material and on the lining fabric (you can choose warmer cotton).

We sew a hat with lining

Now we sew together the details of the outer and inner parts. After preparing both parts, you need to sew them together. To do this, place the pieces next to each other and stitch, leaving a small gap at the top. Bend the product outward with the side that will be on top. Sew the remaining window all the way down.

Technique for sewing a steam room cap

The necessary bath accessory can be purchased in many stores - the range is presented for every taste and budget. But it’s better to make a hat yourself – with all your soul, putting all your imagination into making it. Making a good felt hat for a bathhouse with your own hands is quite simple. In this case, there is no need to extract sheep wool and felt it. All you need to do is purchase the required size of fabric in the store and sew an individual hat. Only natural wool has excellent heat-insulating properties. In addition, felt is a non-flowing material and easy to work with.

Any tailoring begins with a pattern. To make it you need the following materials:

paper or cardboard;
pencil;
thick needle and woolen thread;
centimeter for taking measurements;
fabric - felt is better;
scissors.

If the thickness of the felt is large, then the wedges must be sewn end-to-end, and for thin fabric a decorative seam on the front side is suitable. To give your bath cap some originality, you can use bright colored threads and add interesting decorations. Guided by your imagination, it’s easy to create an unusual headdress with appliqués and embroideries. To make the hats easier to use, a loop should be sewn onto the top of the head, by which they could then be hung and dried.

How to sew a bath hat without spending a lot of time and effort? The simplest and most convenient option is the Budenovka hat. First, you need to decide on the size of the hat and measure the circumference of your head using a centimeter. The width of the wedge is measured by dividing the circumference of the head by 4, adding another 1 centimeter. The height of the wedge is also calculated by dividing the circle by 4 and adding 2 or more centimeters. The more centimeters you allow, the higher the hat will be. Afterwards, based on the measurements taken, it is necessary to draw on paper or cardboard a triangle with rounded edges, in which the base protrudes as wide as the wedge.

The next stage is cutting out the pattern. If you wish, you can sew a hat with a brim and a visor. In this case, you should divide the fields into 4 wedges, and the visor into 2. The pattern is applied to the fabric prepared in advance, traced with a pencil and cut out. You should end up with 4 felt pieces. Next, we sew the wedges of the hat with any thread and add decorations.

If the hat is intended for a woman, then decorations can include flowers, ribbons, and beads.

A man's hat can be decorated with cool inscriptions, slogans or the name of the future owner of the headdress

It is important not to overdo it with the decor of the hat and not to use plastic or other material that is dangerous at high temperatures.

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.

Headdress for a bath: shapes and materials

Felt is often the preferred material for sewing a bath cap due to its density and excellent thermal insulation properties. Felt is felted sheep's wool.

Felt is also often used to make bath hats. This is a thinner material made from rabbit or goat hair. Unlike felt, felt is not as scratchy, which some sauna lovers may like.

Sometimes you can find bath caps made of cotton or linen. Such fabrics, especially cotton ones, cannot be compared to woolen ones in terms of thermal insulation properties, but they can replace them if the person steaming is allergic to wool. In addition, flax has antibacterial properties and prevents the activity of pathogenic microorganisms.

Hats made of synthetic materials are also available on sale. Despite the fact that synthetics come in different varieties, they are still not suitable for a bath cap. First, synthetic fabric generally does not retain heat. And secondly, when significantly heated in a steam room, synthetic fibers can release toxic substances.

In order for the headdress to sufficiently fulfill its heat-insulating function, it must be endowed with a unique shape.

The most optimal shape is the shape of a cone, or as it is also called, a bell. Its advantages:

The most sensitive and temperature-exposed areas of the head are covered: the back of the head, the crown of the head, the ears;
In the parietal part, an air layer with normal temperature is preserved, which acts as an air thermal damper, that is, it smoothes out the temperature transition from high to normal;
The simple form of the pattern allows you to make products from a wide variety of materials, including with your own hands.

At the same time, the modern industry offers bath caps, in addition to the classic ones, also in a wide variety of shapes:

Budenovka, reminiscent of the legendary headdress of Civil War fighters from the First Cavalry Army;
Bogatyrka, close in spirit to the previous one and reminiscent of the cone helmet from the times of the epic Ilya Muromets;
An aviator jacket that continues the same trend in military style, but with a bias towards heavenly heights and the headdress of the heroes of the fifth, air ocean.

As already mentioned above, it is natural materials that are fully capable of fulfilling their difficult purpose in the difficult conditions of a steam bath. Let's briefly look at their characteristics:

Felt is obtained from sheep wool as a result of rough processing, the so-called primary dressing. It is characterized by a fairly large thickness, about 8-15 mm, a relatively dense structure and excellent thermal insulation properties, along with good air permeability. This material makes an excellent sauna hat, with peak temperatures of about 110-120 degrees and relatively low humidity;
Felt is a type of woolen non-woven textile material of a thinner and more delicate finish, compared to the same felt. Felt is made from the soft wool of rabbits and goats. It is lighter, softer and more flexible. It is resistant to wet environments. The purpose of this material is the wet steam room of a traditional Russian bath with its lower temperatures compared to the Finnish sauna, but also much higher humidity. Felt products are good for the fair half of humanity.
Linen is less common, primarily due to its lower thermal insulation qualities. But at the same time, linen is more comfortable and easy to wear. Excellent evaporation of moisture from the surface. Works beautifully with traditional sewing techniques and methods.
Cotton is inferior in thermal insulation to woolen materials, but superior to them in terms of comfort.

Material	Thermal conductivity, W/m.k
Linen	0,067
Cotton	0,049
Silk	0,045
Wool, felt	0,033
Wool, flannel	0,032

Like any other thing of practical importance for use, a bath cap should be endowed with a number of useful and functional qualities:

Complete safety in conditions of high temperatures and high humidity, in terms of the absence of release of harmful substances.
The material must have sufficient thermal insulation over a long period of time.

Sauna hats must provide sufficient comfort for their wearer.
Must be practical. It has a margin of safety, washes well, dries quickly, does not stain or fade.
Attractive appearance and modern or, conversely, traditional, antique design.

Product Features

This is not just fashionable and stylish, but a necessary thing to protect your head. You can buy it in a store, but it’s more interesting to create it yourself, because no one else will have such an accessory.

A bath cap should reliably protect the hair, parietal area, eyes and back of the head. For sewing, exclusively natural materials are used, preferably wool. It does not create a “greenhouse effect” and prevents the formation of dandruff. The bath cap should fit the size of your head. The material from which the product is made should not lose color or shrink when washed.

A knitted hat for a child (the pattern can be made using simple constructions, described below) can have different colors and styles.
Bright knitted fabrics make it easy to sew hats for little fashionistas for different occasions. This charming hat with a bow is very easy to sew and looks elegant. To make it you will need ribbed knitwear with lycra.

To sew a hat you need:

Fold the fabric in half with the right sides facing in.
Cut out a rectangle. From the fold to the side, set aside a distance equal to the half-circumference of the head minus the tightness of the fit (from 2 to 6 cm).
Measure upwards a distance equal to 2 sizes of the length of the hat with an addition of 15 cm for the bow. When sewing a hat for babies, the bow allowance should be reduced to 12-13 cm.
Cut a rectangle with seam allowances.
Cut out the part from which the middle of the bow is made, 9-10 cm long and 8 cm wide.
Sew the longitudinal seam of the hat piece and unfold it so that it is in the middle. Sew the top edge, leaving threads approximately 10 cm long. Connect the corners of the rectangle by tying the threads together.
Turn the product right side out.
From the stitched edge with the corners pulled together, measure the height of the bow and make corresponding marks on both sides.
Sew the detail of the middle of the bow from the inside out and turn it inside out.
Attach the ends of the strip of the central part of the bow to the marks and secure it by throwing it over the top edge of the hat.
Sew the ends of the strip into the fold on the wrong side of the hat. Gather the top of the hat into a bow.
On the opposite side of the rectangle, cut off the corners, sew the seam, leaving a small hole for turning
Turn the product inside out and sew up the hole with a hidden seam or machine stitch it.

Another interesting option for designing the top of a hat for a girl in the form of corners folded towards the center is done as follows:

First you need to cut out a rectangular piece. Its length should be equal to the height of the hat with an increase of about 12 cm for decoration, and its width should correspond to the circumference of the head minus 8-12 cm.
Then you need to sew a longitudinal seam and position it in the center.
Sew the top of the hat. Leave a hole of 4 cm in the middle.
Turn the piece right side out, straighten the corners and fold them towards the middle. Tuck the ends of the corners into the unstitched hole, secure them from the inside with pins and sew the seam by machine.
Finish the bottom of the hat with an overlock stitch, bend it to the wrong side by 2 cm, secure with pins and machine stitch along the edge.

To diversify the models of knitted hats for girls, you can use various decorations.

It can be:

knitted, knitted flowers;

embroidery; applications, thermal stickers; bows, lace. brooches, rhinestones, beads. bright badges, stripes.
