How to make a hat from a scarf. Ideal for those who don't like hats! Super fashionable DIY headdress. Features of a scarf fabric hat


In the closet of each of us there are, if not a couple of skeletons, then certainly a certain amount of clothes that you will never wear and would be a pity to throw away. Oddly enough, the top spot in the ranking of unnecessary/unfashionable/moth-eaten items is occupied by sweaters. If you have found such a character on the mezzanine or in the depths of your wardrobe, but for sentimental reasons you cannot throw it in the trash can, give the item a second chance. Turn an old sweater into a cute, fashionable hat.


Current beanie hat, made with your own hands, can become your favorite accessory this spring. Or a cute gift for girlfriends on March 8th. If you have enough sweaters and an hour of free time. By the way, the ability to hold a needle and thread in your hands is not required in this case. And here, what will you need, so this:

1.An old sweater (preferably with an elastic band at the bottom);
2. Glue gun;
3. Measuring tape or tape measure;
4. Scarf for visual measurement (although a “centimeter” can be used for the same purpose);
5. Sharp scissors;
6.Marker or chalk.


1. Tie a scarf around your head, fix it so that it is comfortable: not tight, but not too loose.


2. Remove the scarf without untying it and apply it to the elastic band/edge of the sweater. The length of the scarf from edge to knot will be the width of your hat.


3. Attach a measuring tape to the middle of the scarf and measure the height of the future hat. Rely on your taste or take measurements from your favorite hat of a similar design. The average height of beanie hats is in the range of 24-29 cm.


4. Draw the shape of the future accessory. Don’t be afraid to stain the fabric with a marker - as a result, the measurements will not be visible at all.


5. Now – cut. The main thing is to grab both layers of fabric at the same time. Therefore, the scissors must be really well sharpened.


6. After the two halves are ready, take a glue gun and connect them, gluing along the very edge, as shown in the photo. Don't forget to leave the bottom unsealed, otherwise you won't be able to put on the hat.


7.After the hat has already begun to resemble a hat, it’s time to take the scissors again and trim the top a little. This step is necessary so that the beanie fits better and does not resemble the “cockerel” familiar to many from the days of happy childhood.


8. Fold the hat as in the photo below and glue the edges of the resulting “figure eight”.

A knitted hat and scarf will not only warm you up on an autumn evening, but will also perfectly complement clothes in a modern urban style. A knitted hat and scarf are suitable for both women and men. Our master class will tell you how to create a knitted hat pattern for any size.

Knitted hat and scarf: preparing for work

How to sew a knitted hat and scarf with your own hands? Medium weight knitwear is best. You can also sew such a set from warm and soft fleece.

The amount of material may vary slightly depending on how stretched it is. We recommend that you first create a hat pattern and decide on the size of the scarf, and then calculate the material consumption. For the pattern, you will need to take head circumference measurements. The length of a hat for adults is usually taken based on the following values: from 30 cm (for a hat sitting close to the top of the head) to 55 cm (for a hat with the back hanging down).

If you plan to turn up the edge of the hat, add at least 5 cm to the lapel. The knitted hat and scarf that we propose to sew consist of two layers. This hat can be worn on either side, you can also turn up the edge and make a wide or narrow lapel. In addition to the dart seams on the top of the head, the hat has one seam at the back, which makes it not only very comfortable, but also easy to sew.

The scarf also has two sides. However, in this case, fewer seams only make the work easier, so to save material or to achieve an interesting combination, the second side can be sewn from a different material. We suggest fastening the scarf with a large, beautiful button. The hanging loop is sewn from the main material, but it can be made from cord or suede. If you are sewing a fleece scarf, you can make a welt loop.

To work with knitwear, use a special needle and a suitable machine stitch or overlocker.

So, let's sew a knitted hat and scarf with your own hands!

Constructing a pattern

Take a head circumference measurement and decide on the length of the hat.

Divide the head circumference measurement by 4. Depending on the stretchability of the material, reduce this number by 0.5-1 cm. For a hat made of fleece or knitwear with a small stretch coefficient, reduce the head circumference measurement by 0.5-1 cm, and then divide by 4 .

Draw a rectangle whose width is equal to ¼ of the girth (minus the required values), and the height is equal to the length of the hat (taking into account an increase of 5 cm for the lapel, if desired). From the top of the rectangle, set aside ¼ of the total length. On one side, step back 1.5-2 cm from the corner and draw a dart line. On the other side, round the corner as shown in the diagram.

You have got ¼ part of the dart, reflect it, as shown in the diagram and you will get half of the pattern for the hat in one layer. For a single-layer hat, only the vertical fold line will be relevant; for a two-layer hat, both are needed.

Uncover

Fold the material in half and in half again so that the fold lines coincide with those outlined on the pattern. Allowances for the side and top seams, as well as for darts - 1 cm. Cut out one common part for the hat.

Scarf

For the scarf, cut out a rectangle of the desired length (in our case 70 cm) and double width (here 40 cm) plus 2 cm for allowances. For the loop, cut out a strip 5-6 cm long and 2.5-3 cm wide.

Progress

Sew the darts by folding the hat piece with right sides facing each other. At the end of the stitch, slightly round the line. Cut the seam allowance almost to the seam and press the seam allowance to the sides.

Fold the hat in half, right sides facing each other. Sew with one seam, leaving an opening of about 5 cm.

Pin the loop to the right side of the short edge of the scarf as shown in the photo. Check that the button fits into the buttonhole.

Fold the scarf along the long side, right sides facing each other. Sew with one seam, leaving an opening of about 5 cm.

Sew the opening by hand using a blind stitch. Try on the scarf and find the right place for the button.

A hat and stole made from a Pavlovo Posad shawl will be a bright addition to your look or a pleasant, warm and stylish gift for your loved ones.

  • 2 pieces of Pavlovo Posad shawl
  • knitted dublin
  • matching threads
  • scissors
  • sewing machine
  • iron.

A cap

Pattern



The pattern is given without seam allowances.

Step 1

Before starting work, we glue our scarf on the wrong side with thin knitted dublin. This is done in order to slightly stabilize the fabric of the scarf and increase the service life of the product.

Step 2



We lay out the pre-duplicated scarf on the table and select the part of the design that we would like to see on the hat. We will cut along the front side. Using self-disappearing chalk, mark a stripe on the fabric at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the grain thread.

Step 3


Place the pattern on the fabric, aligning the middle of the pattern with the marked bias guide.


Step 4


Cut out the first piece of the hat. In the opposite corner of the scarf we also mark an oblique guide line.

Step 5



We align the middle of the first part of the hat with the guide, trying to match the pattern as accurately as possible.

Step 6



We pin the first part with a flap around the perimeter and cut out the second part.

Step 7


Cut out the lining pieces from fleece.

Step 8


We sew the darts.

Step 9


We connect the parts of the hat and the lining (don’t forget to leave a hole in the lining for turning inside out).

Step 10


Iron the seams.

Step 11



We connect the part of the hat and the part of the lining with the right sides facing each other and grind them down.

Step 12



Through the hole in the lining along the front side of the hat, we put a stitch at a distance of 1 mm from the edge, tucking the seam allowance towards the front of the hat.

Step 13



We turn it inside out and get such an oval.

Step 14


Sew up the hole in the lining and the hat is ready!

How to wear a hat

And now the most interesting thing: the good thing about the hat is that it can be worn in different ways.

Option 1



For example, like a regular hat with a wide lapel.

Option 2



Or you can let out the top part of the hat more, make a small lapel, and tie the “extra” part on top with a ribbon, as if creating a pom-pom.

Option 3



Another option: you can move the “extra” part of the hat to the side, creating folds and creating an asymmetrical drapery.

Option 4



We continue to experiment. We put an additional fold on the back of the head, and the rest of the cap hangs freely like a stocking cap.

Option 5


And finally, we bring all the excess of the hat to the back of the head, putting it in the folds under the lapel.

Stole

From the second flap we will sew a stole to go with the hat.

Step 1



We cut the flap into two symmetrical parts relative to the drawing.


Step 2

We connect the parts in the center with a linen seam.

Step 3


We sew the edges with a hem seam with a closed cut. The stole is ready!



Now your wardrobe has a wonderful set of Russian-style accessories.
