This piece of 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 production will not be difficult, since for this you do not need to make a complex pattern, the consumption of materials used is scanty, and it will take no more than an hour to work.

Traditional hats of Santa Claus - a character of Russian folk tales - are headdresses made of four wedges, trimmed with white fur. Themtailoring, unlike Santa Claus hats, requires more precision and accuracy, in addition, the style of hats is quite specific. They look most organically complete with a full suit. That is why red hats with a white trim around the edge and a huge pom-pom at the end are more popular.

Knitted hat

First of all, we will share with readers an idea not about how to sew a Santa Claus hat, but how to knit it! This is an ingenious solution, since 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 needles without plugs - No. 5, No. 8;
• needle for stitching the product.

Knitting begins with white threads. A set of loops for a Santa Claus hat must be made with knitting needles No. 8, knitting is done with number 5. Their number depends on what size product you want 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 with the help of the eighth knitting needles, make 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 9 rows. Change the color of the yarn (to red) and continue working, gradually narrowing the cap down until a long tail is formed. You will need to tie a fluffy pompom of white threads to it.

Fabric cap

The principle of operation is fully illustrated in the provided master class. howit can be seen from the photographs that Santa Claus's hat is sewn with his own hands, for this it is not at all necessary to have special equipment. The sample shows that the headpiece is made of fleece, which is a great material for simple crafts, because it does not require cutting.

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 from thin fabric, but from fur with high pile.

Headband for Santa's granddaughter

This photo shows another great idea for a Christmas hat. This option is the perfect solution for women and girls who want to decorate their heads with such an attribute, but are afraid to ruin their festive hairstyle.

To create such a headband, you need to stock up on a thin plastic hair hoop, red paper and a small piece of padding polyester, which can be replaced with a thread of delicate swan down or tinsel. You will also need scissors, adhesive tape, glue and a regular dinner plate, on the basis of which Santa Claus's hat will be modeled. A pattern is an outline of a dish drawn on a piece of paper. The resulting circle must be cut in half and form a cone from this blank. After attaching the decor (edge, pompom), the cap is simply glued to the rim.

A bright example

If neededa more colorful and extraordinary version of Santa Claus's hat, you can use non-traditional fabric for sewing it - sequins, lurex material, experiment with the usual red color, replacing it with blue, silver or gold.

Great room for imagination - cap trim. For this, any materials that are at hand will come in handy, the main thing is that the product turns out to be catchy and unusual. If you have time and desire, the hat can be decorated with rhinestones, beads, embroidery. And in order for its owner to attract all the attention of a grateful public, it is worth supplying the cap with ringing bells or flickering light bulbs.
