Knitted hooded scarf

Any woman waits with horror for the arrival of cold weather in her region, listens to weather forecasts and thinks about what kind of hat to choose and whether it is worth using it. Often on the streets we can meet young girls and women who do not consider it necessary to wear a headdress. What drives them? In their opinion, it’s a shame to waste time on perfect styling and hairstyle, because it will quickly collapse. Hair in a hat gets dirty much faster and has to be washed more and more often, which is not very good for the hair.

But is it really so? Is there a real danger and what is it? Data from medical sources suggests that the cold provokes the deterioration of the hair. By regularly exposing them to hypothermia, they lose strength, become dull, brittle, and blood circulation in the scalp worsens. In addition, hypothermia of the head contributes to a weakening of the immune system, frequent SARS, which can lead to inflammatory diseases of the hearing organs.

Of course, if there is a confident positive temperature outside, the sun is shining and there is no wind, then this is a weighty argument in favor of an uncovered head. And if it's raining, snowing, blizzard, strong wind, dampness outside, then, believe me, no one will be able to pay attention to the beauty of your hair, and you won't have to rejoice in it either.

What, after all, will not only save your hair, but decorate and warm it? It can be a hat, beret, scarf or scarf, hood.The most beloved and popular among women, and men including, is the hood. It does not need to be put in a bag or put away somewhere, it does not need to be taken with you “just in case”, it perfectly protects from wind, rain and bad weather.

But what if your outerwear doesn't have a hood, or is it a cloak or coat? Then such a unique and fashionable thing as a scarf-hood will come to your aid. Having come into the modern wardrobe of adults from childhood, it wins the hearts of its owners and conquers with its practicality, convenience, beauty, and most importantly, the ability to replace it!

What is the advantage of such a hood? Yes, all the same - it protects from the wind, does not wrinkle curls, does not break the hair, but also decorates! The scarf in this case becomes the basis on which the classic form of the hood is attached. It can be in the form of a snood, canvas, scarf-pipe.

At the peak of fashion this season has been and remains coarse knitting, all kinds of patterns and weaves, large braids, English knitting. Such a scarf-hood can be made of thick woolen thread with the addition of acrylic, which will give it a denser shape.

You can also experiment with the material from which the scarf-hood is made.

They give the hooded scarf a lighter feel than its chunky-knit counterparts. Braids and fashionable weaves do not look good on such a thin yarn.

Also, one should not forget about another trend - a large cell. Scottish plaid, especially the red one, is incredibly popular. You can diversify your everyday wardrobe by using bright prints, geometric patterns or stripes.

And, finally, these are fur scarves-hoods. The edges of the hood, tassels on the scarf can be dressed with fur, and it can also be completely fur. It is incredibly luxurious and edgy. Don't forget about another fashion trend - colored fur, which ranges from white, yellow, to bright pink. It's bold, bold, glamorous.

To begin with, it is worth considering and answering certain questions for yourself. If you value only beauty and practicality, choose models with an admixture of acrylic, which allows the product to retain its shape and original appearance. This is especially true if it is a large knit with weave or braids. Such a scarf will not cost much, which will allow you to buy more gloves for it or save money on another one, but in a different color.

In the case when you are kinesthetic, it is important for you to feel and wear exclusively natural, pure fabrics, without additional impurities, then you should pay attention to models knitted from pure wool, perhaps even cashmere, but the latter will be softer and will not keep its shape. In this case, you should not look for complex weaves, based on the choice of color and texture of the weave of threads in the canvas. Here, both a cell and another geometric pattern may be appropriate.

Fur can be both natural and artificial. The choice of fur depends on your preferences, ethical considerations. If you are an ardent fighter for nature and the environment, then you can also use faux fur and be in trend.Well, if you love animals at a distance and natural fur warms you in winter, then choose any: rabbit, mink, arctic fox, silver fox.

Pay attention to the details, look at how the scarf-hood is trimmed. It can be fur tassels on the hood, large pompoms or fringe at the ends of the scarf, funny ties for a tighter fit of the hood. The muzzle of some animal or ears can coyly flaunt on the hood, and at the ends of the scarf there are small pockets that will warm your hands.

Let me remind you that a scarf is a great way to emphasize individuality, reveal your character and harmonize your image. And since the scarf-hood mainly consists of a scarf, it is with this detail that you will experiment. The advantage of a hood scarf is that it does not need to be fixed in some special way on the neck and head, twisting knots, bows, using an unusual technique to create interesting weaves.

If you have chosen a scarf-hood in the form of a snood or a pipe, then it is enough to casually throw it over your shoulders, put on a hood and go to conquer this world. You don’t even need to use a mirror, because the more casually the scarf lies, the more dynamic your look will be. It can be combined with a modern bag coat or an oversized sweater. Snoods can be dressed by rewinding them with a cross to create an interesting game of weaving textures of the front and back sides.

For lovers of classic lines in clothes, a hooded scarf with mohair or angora should suit. Such scarves look feminine, soft, creating an image of airiness. If your scarf is long, you can wrap it around your neck, creating more volume on your chest. This technique is especially suitable for women with a triangle (or pear) figure.If your figure needs to be adjusted, then let the edges of the scarf hang freely to the hips, this will visually create an additional vertical and lengthen the legs.

Some hooded scarves were deliberately equipped with buttons, zippers or strings for ease of wearing. Such products will never fall off, move out, causing you discomfort. And interesting details will add additional spice to the accessory.

If your choice fell on an ultra-fashionable fur scarf-hood, then it is not necessary to combine it with other fur or a fur product. Such things look interesting and status on classic coats, jumpers or vests made of woolen bouclé. The only thing you should not combine this scarf-hood with is a sheepskin coat. Yes, and they, most often, are equipped with their own hood.

Don't forget to choose the right color combination. Not too bright and dark colors will be best combined with fur. Lovers of fur coats, vests need to use the same fur as on your scarf-hood. Rabbit fur combined with mink fur will look ridiculous.
