Fashionable hat Helsinki

Previously, people supplemented their looks with knitted hats solely to keep warm in the cold season. But over time, they noticed that this miniature accessory seriously affects a person’s appearance and is able to both emphasize its advantages and flaunt its shortcomings. Today, knitted hats are taken much more seriously than before and this is due to a number of reasons.

Every modern person strives to stand out from the crowd, and he often succeeds in demonstrating the originality of his own image with the help of an original hat.

The headdress called Helsinki is an ordinary hat model, but knitted from thick yarn. It is the thickness of the yarn that gives the seemingly simple style of the headdress a very non-standard look. Even the most uncomplicated pattern in the weaves of such yarn becomes unnecessarily textured and voluminous. Externally, the product looks as if a magnifying glass is directed at it, allowing you to see each stitch of the pattern.

The texture of the product implies compatibility only with volumetric decorative elements.That is why you are unlikely to find a Helsinki hat with a miniature pom-pom or small brooches. If such details decorate the hat, then they will be as large as the pattern on it.

It's interesting that such models of products are created not only from thick, but also from warm yarn. It usually contains a large percentage of wool, wool can be combined with synthetic fibers, which, on the one hand, makes the product supple, and on the other, reduces the risk of skin irritation.

But modern models of Helsinki hats are distinguished from others not only by volumetric texture. The tailoring features of each individual model are also very original, which attracts a lot of admirers to them. In the modern assortment of famous designers there are models of different shades. The most fashionable this season are coral, light green, gray, beige, sand, cream and blue.

Older people prefer to choose classic types of hats without a pom-pom and elastic, as well as hats with fur trim.

The hit of the winter 2016 - 2017 are Helsinki themed hats. Their distinguishing feature is the imitation of animal ears on the crown. They can be cat, mouse, bear, fox - whatever you want. For maximum similarity with a real animal, resourceful designers also sheathe these ears with fur.

Hats with unusual pom-poms look more serious and stylish. They can be created from natural fur, dyed to match the color of the product or in a shade that is radically different from it.Chic pompoms with a gradient transition add color to the model of a hat made of bulky yarn. But there is one kind of pom-pom that you can use to freshen up your Helsinki hat at home.

It is not at all strange that a pompom made of the same material is ideal for a hat made of thick yarn. So if you bought a hat with a fur pom-pom, and you are already a little fed up with it, you can easily update the headgear model by creating a new pom-pom from thick yarn yourself. For this you will need:

• A thread of thick yarn, matching in shade with the product. The length is from one and a half to three meters, but the longer it is, the more magnificent the pompom will turn out.
• The usual thread for fastening the pom-pom to the hat. It is desirable that it be identical in shade with the product.

The scheme for creating a pom-pom is as simple as possible. It is necessary to fold the thread of thick yarn in a zigzag into a bundle and tie as tightly as possible with a simple thread. It is important that the zigzag elements of the pom pom are the same length, otherwise the pom pom will be sloppy. Next, you need to stretch the remaining long thread of the pom-pom through the edge of the cap, and then sew the pom-pom from the inside to the product.

But you should choose a suitable hat model for yourself, focusing on the type of face:

• Young ladies with a round face are ideally suited for voluminous hats like a cap or a model with a large pompom, which will distract attention from rounded cheeks. By choosing a model of a hat - a beret, you can adjust the shape of the face by shifting the headdress to one side.
• A square face will benefit from tight-fitting hats that open the forehead and fit well at the crown.

• For owners of a rectangular face, it is better to opt for hats that cover the forehead, as well as models with elastic bands - lapels and horizontal volume knitting.
• The most extraordinary type of hat is suitable for a triangular face - with ears. It is also important that the model of the cap fits as much as possible on the forehead.
• Girls with an oval face type are especially lucky, because they can choose for themselves any cap model they like.

It is worth considering that bulky yarn hats are not very suitable for those who have a thin face and sunken cheeks. It is also better for girls of small stature to refuse such a model of a headdress.

For brunettes, it is better not to choose hats in black or another dark shade that can blend into the hair. For blondes, a white and gray hat will not be entirely successful, and for redheads, orange and red.

It is important that the hat not only harmoniously combines with the parameters of your appearance, but also fits perfectly into the image. The Helsinki hat is suitable for any type of outerwear, the main thing is to choose the right style:

• With semi-fitted coats and bulky jackets, it is best to combine hats made of not too thick yarn. Otherwise, you can easily break the harmony of the image and make it ridiculous.

• With a fur coat, you can combine hats like a beret, as well as caps with a pompom, which are gathered at the back with a fold.
• It is best to combine Helsinki hats with fur trim or ears with a sheepskin coat.
• With quilted down jackets and oversized coat models that are now fashionable, you can combine classic models of hats made of thick yarn with lapels, as well as voluminous pompoms.

In a word, you should observe the harmony of volumes, combining chic models of outerwear with hats made of the thickest possible yarn, and simpler things with hats that are less voluminous in texture.

Accessories - bags, snoods and scarves will help to make an image with a voluminous knitted hat as stylish and harmonious as possible. So, it is better to choose snoods and scarves that are most suitable for the color of the headdress. It’s good if they come from the same set at all, differ in color, but have an identical pattern, or vice versa. It is better to choose a shapeless bag. It is she who will best fit into a slightly sloppy, but such a stylish image.

If you want to complement the image with a turban made of thick yarn, please note that this model of headdress is only suitable for an oval face, and it is better to combine it with a snood. If you have a fur pom-pom on your hat, then the fur on the edge of the outerwear hood should be identical in color and texture.

For everyone who wants to create a Helsinki hat with their own hands, it is better to listen to the following tips:

• Do not come up with an overly intricate pattern for a hat. The voluminous texture of the yarn itself stands out, and if the pattern is also voluminous, the headdress will turn from a stylish hat into a sloppy woolen bowler hat. The optimal pattern for such a hat is a banal front surface.

• In addition to thick yarn for knitting products, you should also get thick knitting needles. Most often, needlewomen choose a "tool" with a diameter of 15 to 25 mm, and the larger the diameter of the needles, the more voluminous the pattern is.
• If you have no desire to buy thick knitting needles, you can replace them with several smaller ones. So, one thick knitting needle can be easily replaced by five knitting needles, which reach 1.5 - 2 mm in diameter. Knitting needles with a long silicone cord will help you create a product without a single seam.

Judging by the feedback from needlewomen, a universal size hat model can be created on average in 1.5 - 2.5 hours, which is not surprising, given the simplicity of the pattern and the bulk of the yarn.
