For a fun New Year's party, you need to have several traditional and irreplaceable attributes at once. Among them there is a spruce decorated with toys, garlands and tinsel, a grandly laid table with snacks and drinks familiar to this celebration, bright fireworks, and, of course, Santa Claus hats. This element of a fancy dress always brings a touch of special mood to the festive evening, and its owners are the real kings of the party.
Santa VS Frost
In today's article, we will tell readers about several options for homemade hats a la Santa. Their manufacture will not be difficult, since this does not need to be a complicated pattern, the consumption of used materials is scanty, and it will take no more than an hour to work.
The traditional hats of Santa Claus, the character of Russian folk tales, are hats made of four wedges with white fur trim. Sewing them, unlike Santa Claus caps, requires greater accuracy and accuracy, in addition, and the style of the caps is quite specific. Most organically they look complete with a full-fledged suit. That is why red caps with a white hem along the edge and a huge pompom at the end are more popular.
Knitted hat
First of all, we will share with readers the idea of not how to sew a hat of Santa Claus, but how to knit it! This is a brilliant solution, because such a headdress will turn out to be very warm, practical and original. For work, it is necessary to prepare the following materials and tools:
- four skeins of yarn (white and red);
- double-sided knitting needles without stubs - No. 5, No. 8;
- a needle for stitching the product.
Knitting begins with white thread. A set of loops for Santa Claus hats needs to be done with knitting needles No. 8, knitting is done by number 5. Their number depends on what size product you need to get, it can be 30, 36, 42, 48, 54 or 60 loops. According to the size you need to knit 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 rows. After, again using the eighth needles, make 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 9 rows. Change the color of the yarn (to red) and continue to work, gradually narrowing the cap down until a long tail forms. A fluffy pompom made of white threads will need to be tied to it.
Fabric cap
The principle of operation is fully illustrated in the provided master class. As can be seen from the photos, Santa Claus hat is sewn with your own hands, for this it is not necessary to have special equipment. The sample shows that the headpiece is made of fleece - this is an excellent material for simple crafts, because it does not require processing of slices.
For the same reason, you can use thin felt, plush or faux fur. These materials hold their shape well and drape well. To make the product more solid and durable, the edge (like the pompom) can be made not of thin fabric, but of fur with a high pile.
Headband for granddaughter of Santa Claus
This photo shows another great idea on the topic of creating a Christmas hat. This option is an ideal solution for women and girls who want to decorate their heads with a similar attribute, but are afraid to spoil the festive hairstyle.
To create such a rim, you need to stock up with a thin plastic hair hoop, red paper and a small piece of synthetic winterizer, which can be replaced with a thread of gentle swan's down or tinsel. You will also need scissors, scotch tape, glue and a regular dinner plate, on the basis of which Santa Claus hat will be modeled. A pattern is the outline of a dish drawn on a piece of paper. The resulting circle must be cut in half and form a cone from this workpiece. After attaching the decor (edge, pompom), the cap is simply glued to the rim.
Vivid example
If you need a more colorful and extraordinary version of Santa Claus's hat, you can use unconventional fabric for sewing it - sequins, material with lurex, experiment with the usual red color, replacing it with blue, silver or gold.
Huge scope for imagination - the finish of the cap. For this, any materials that are at hand are useful, the main thing is that the product turns out to be catchy and unusual. If you have time and desire, you can decorate the hat with rhinestones, beads, embroidery. And so that its owner attracts all the attention of a grateful audience, it is worth equipping the cap with sonorous bells or flickering lights.
