Helsinki hat

Knitwear made in a large knit style has incredible appeal. For example, hats and scarves. Helsinki caps are especially popular. Today they can be seen on fashion catwalks and on the streets of cities around the world. If a few years ago such things were considered an element of avant-garde design. Then now these huge hats have become an indispensable accessory in the wardrobe of advanced fashionistas.

The style of wearing things made of thick yarn came to us from northern Europe. The grotesque models of hats quickly gained the attention of fashionistas in other countries.

Coarse-knit items have their own characteristics.

• Coarse-knit things neatly made look very warm and comfortable.
• Thick yarn to almost everyone's face. In such things you feel like a stately northern queen, even with a small stature.
• You can be proud of the unusual style of things. The choice of knitted accessories made in large style has ceased to be something unusual.
• Large viscous things do not have to be worn in severe frost.

In general, this Scandinavian style of dress has a communicative function. In such things, let it be only a hat, a woman feels protected, invulnerable, fashionable, feminine, “small”, but independent. Such a palette of feelings is affected when wearing such things. In addition, Helsinki caps are perfectly combined with the rest of the wardrobe. A woman in such a dress is insanely interesting.

Hats do not impose special requirements for elegance. However, this does not prevent a woman from remaining truly attractive. It is worth emphasizing that the model caps are made strictly in size. They do not differ in excess of volume, they are warm and comfortable. The visual effect of "oversized" is created by large yarn.

Ready-made things have a fairly rigid structure, so they do not lose shape. It is believed that Helsinki hats and, in general, large-knit things, should be classified as oversized. But this is not always true. Judging by the material, a feeling of freedom and lightness in such clothes is really created. At the same time, it should not “hang”. Helsinki caps should also not look separately from the image. They only complement it, shifting emphasis in their direction.

Modern models of Helsinki coats of large knitting differ in various textures, the presence of patterns. But in general, there are three main fashion trends. It can be:

• Helsinki hats with a large knit with a lapel;
• hats with a pompom made of thick yarn;
• just bulky hats (in style, reminiscent of a stocking cap) of large knitting.

A large-knit Helsinki hat with a pompom at the end. No need to think that such a hat is a good memory from childhood. Modern models of such hats create an original winter look in which it is so warm and cozy. Designers today suggest using knitted products of various textures and colors. A hat with a pompom looks quite harmonious paired with a scarf and mittens. In this outfit, I immediately want to plunge into a winter fairy tale. Stylish accessories can be complemented by one or two pompons. Funny hats can be seen on young fashionistas. There, models are decorated with large pompons. A Helsinki hat with a pompom can be combined with outerwear on which a fur trim is present.

A Helsinki hat with a lapel is distinguished by the fact that it resembles a traditional hat, carefully knitted by a grandmother. The product folds around the edge, and you get such a nice cuff. The width of the cap of the cap can be adjusted by "lowering" or "turning" at your discretion. This hat is a fairly stylish accessory that always remains in fashion. In addition to the design, the cap attracts with practicality. It is warm and comfortable, it does not press anywhere. The lapel serves as an additional layer for warming, well covers the forehead and ears. Hats made in this style, but only in large viscous, will remain in fashion trend in the coming season. Style caps closer to the classic style, but at the same time, a fashionista can always emphasize her personality in such an accessory.

Simple models of large knitted Helsinki caps. These models of hats are created from super thick yarn. The product is typed on large knitting needles. The canvas is "loose". And contrasting colors and massive patterns make the cap visually even bigger. Caps in this style resemble a massive head accessory from old tales. Many girls today give them their preference. And some of them are trying to master the technique of performing such accessories.

If you believe the forecasts of designers, then Helsinki coats of large knitting will never go out of fashion. A variety of models and styles of hats can be selected for both young fashionistas and respectable ladies. You just need to learn how to determine your color in clothes and choose the right material.

A modern Helsinki hat can be very bright - red, light green, and blue. But sophisticated fashionistas prefer more natural shades of yarn. Pleasant, natural colors allow you to combine the cap at your discretion in order to harmoniously fit it into any image. For example, it can be a shade of beige, any shades of warm gray, fashionable brown and muted blue colors. “Poisonous” colors are best left to teenage fashion. Cnthe okoy shade and saturated color do a product more suitable for a season.

The most suitable yarn for knitting a Helsinki hat will be - merino or any yarn with large spinning. In this case, mohair or angora will do. And if the model will be worn in the spring, then as a suitable yarn should look at silk or cotton.When choosing a yarn, you should ask whether acrylic is included in its composition. Its presence in an insignificant volume will allow you to tie a thing that will not stretch after washing and will not lose its appearance after prolonged wear. To select the pattern and model of the cap, you can study the product catalog on the online store website or browse the catalog with ready-made things, pay attention to fashion show models.

Having set a goal, to knit a fashionable hat of Helsinki, you can quickly master your favorite knitting technique in order to pamper yourself with new accessories. You can, of course, buy a hat in this style. However, the knitted hat keeps the warmth of its hands. It’s also a great gift.

It will not be difficult to knit a hat if you have at least the initial skills of looping to get a straight canvas. First you need to decide on the color of the cap, choose the yarn according to the shade and texture. The process of knitting a large style will take a minimum of time. But your Helsinki hat will become a favorite element of the wardrobe. It will take about one hundred and fifty or two hundred grams of thick yarn to knit. The length of the thread should be from fifty to one hundred meters. Needles - fifth to sixth size.

Beginners will be able to master the model of the Helsinki hats with the simplest embossed pattern. To do this, you need to dial about 70-80 loops on the knitting needles, depending on the volume of the head. Then you need to knit a cloth about 12 centimeters long. For a simple knitting method, the gum scheme is used: alternating front and back loops (one at a time). Next, knitting is done with front stitch.

Technics: alternation of a row with front loops and a row with purl. This continues to the desired cap height. For rounding, it is necessary to gradually (every two rows) reduce the number of loops. They are knitted in pairs. From the beginning of the decrease, you need to knit such a number of loops so that 35 out of 70 are left. Next time there are 18. There are 18 remaining loops that can be put together and pulled together. At the final stage, the cap is sewn along the edge behind the head. Now the large knit hat is ready. Such a hat will decorate a casual look or become an additional accessory in a winter wardrobe.

Owners of voluminous caps do not need to rack their brains too much, inventing ridiculous combinations of differently wardrobe elements. Coarse knitting is distinguished by “unconventionality”. An attempt to combine it with expensive fur or with strict elements of the wardrobe initially will not lead to success. Just look at the model caps. In two versions of the combination of large elements - a hat with a fur coat - one thing wins. But a set of large-knit things - a hat, a scarf and mittens - will be an excellent option for winter equipment. This combination of knitwear made in the same style looks more harmonious. Although a lot depends on the product model itself. This stylish headpiece can be worn in combination with a down jacket, insulated raincoat, windbreaker or quilted jacket, as well as with a draped coat or boucle jacket. Fashionable styles can be supplemented with a variety of accessories in the form of jewelry on a hat.
