In the summer season, when the dawn is early and the sunset is late, the time comes for long walks with children in the fresh air, sunbathing and departures to the sea. However, at this time you need to be more alert than ever, because the hot sun can act on your children not only in a favorable way, but because you always need to have a sunblock, a bottle of clean drinking water and a hat.
And so that he protects not only the baby’s head itself, but also the eyes from burning sun rays, the best options are a hat, a baseball cap or a children's panama hat. Pattern and independent sewing will be much preferable, because the kids grow quickly, and it will be quite expensive for some families to buy hats for every age. In addition, making it with your own hands, you can be absolutely sure of both the quality and reliability of the product, and the naturalness of the materials for it. Plus, the pattern of a children's panama hat is one of the most affordable patterns that you can find in almost any needlework magazine. You can not only sew, but also crochet, but this option is more suitable for girls.
And for mobile boys, a baseball cap or a children's panama suit. In addition, a pattern can also be invented independently.
We select the fabric
So, for starters, you should choose the material of the future product. The child’s head must certainly breathe and not overheat, so we get exclusively natural fabrics: cotton, linen or chintz. The color in this case should match the baby's gender. For boys, we choose fabric of yellow, green or heavenly shade with the print of animals, cars or cells. But the girls will really like the softly pink, peach or white children's panama, the pattern of which was skillfully selected by a loving mother. In this case, the pattern is preferable to flower or small peas, you can still decorate the product with cotton lace, ruffles and ribbons. The simplest panama is sewn on the basis of a circle, on the periphery of which an elastic band is inserted. Further, tulle is separately made and sewn to the first workpiece. In another variant (no less complicated), the hat itself is made of 4-5 triangles with rounded sides, which must be sewn from the wrong side first between themselves, and then with the fields.
More secrets
For additional breathability of the material in the occipital part, you can make several small holes in the area of the tulle. And if questions about how to sew a children's panama hat, the pattern of which is also always accompanied by detailed sewing instructions, usually does not arise, then it is quite problematic to persuade the child not to remove his headdress. In this case, it is better to make a hat on the ties under the chin or on an elastic band, so that it holds tight and does not slip off when gusts of warm summer wind are present. If you will not be completely satisfied with the children's panama tailored to the found master class, the pattern can always be improved and complemented by decorative elements. These are a variety of bright flowers from fabric, ruffles and bows. If you decide not to sew, but to crochet a hat, then you can choose not only natural breathable materials, since the holes obtained when creating an openwork pattern will allow the child’s head to breathe.
