Hats have always been a necessity, which in most cases took many fashionistas by surprise. Now, when many people are very busy, there is absolutely no time left to choose a winter accessory. It is for such busy people - our article.

Forced Accessory

Unfortunately, not everyone likes hats because of their ability to spoil hairstyles that are created for long hours and destroyed as soon as this or that hat was put on. We offer a modern solution - a knitted turban hat, which you can create with your own hands, spending a minimum of time.

Due to the peculiarities of the shape, the hat sits neatly, taking the shape of the head and not crushing the styling. And thanks to the presence of warm wool in the composition of the yarn, it is a real warmer for the ears and head as a whole.

Oriental Roots

It is easy to understand from the name: a knitted turban has some connection with eastern countries. Headdresses of this form are worn not only by women, but also by men in northern Africa, India and Asia. And they are always more than a piece of cloth wrapped around the head.

The turban has not only a protective function, protecting a person's head from the sun, but also a religious one. The fact is that in some cultures it is forbidden to cut hair for men, and they use a turban as an auxiliary device for hair styling. Later, this accessory went beyond these communities and became popular around the world.

Subtle Matter

Materials are chosen for the turban so that, despite the length of the fabric flap of 5-10 meters, the head does not sweat and is well ventilated. That is why great attention is paid to the quality of the fabric.

In our case, a knitted turban is made of fluffy yarn, which will provide our hat with windproof and aesthetic appearance. In addition, we will need:

• Spokes. Their size depends only on your personal preference. If you want to get a large knit, the structure of which will be very clearly visible, then choose thicker knitting needles. And if, on the contrary, you prefer a knitted fabric with inconspicuous loops, then thin knitting needles will be just perfect for this occasion.
• Circular knitting needles are not needed here, so, at first only a strip 15-20 centimeters wide is knitted, which is later sewn into a full-fledged turban.
• As for the yarn, one has only to say that it should be soft and fluffy. When you put a turban on your head, you will understand why this is necessary - since the headdress is in contact with a large area of \u200b\u200bthe face, the prickly yarn will certainly cause unpleasant irritation and redness.
• Threads. In the future, we will have to sew a turban, and the choice of threads is up to you. You cantake a cotton version (to match your yarn) or use the leftover yarn after knitting.

Getting Started

Now let's start making a knitted turban. To make the sequence clear, we will make a step-by-step list of all the necessary items, which will greatly facilitate the process of creating a winter accessory.

1. We collect on the knitting needles such a number of loops that the width of the future canvas is about 15 centimeters. In this case, it is impossible to give an exact figure, since both knitting needles and yarn are different for everyone.
2. We will knit with front stitch to get a clean fabric from even, identical loops. Its length should be about a meter or a little less. In general, all this will look like a children's scarf, which is usually wrapped a couple of times around the neck, and then around the child's chest.
3. Now let's move on to the stage of forming the headdress: to do this, we will determine the exact center of the knitted canvas by folding it in half. Then we put the "scarf" on the surface and bend its edges so as to form the shape of a kind of "pretzel", putting one edge on the other.
4. Without changing the shape, we begin to combine the base of our turban. To do this, we combine the ends of the knitted fabric together and sew along the entire length, where the ends of the scarf are in contact with each other. Thus we connect the crown of our hat.
5. It's time to connect the remaining parts of the hat: these are the two ends of the scarf, and to be more precise, their width is 15 centimeters. We also sew it to the base, without protruding beyond the abovelength.
6. Final details: unfixed sidewalls, which we sew along the length of 9 centimeters on both sides. It remains to fill the protruding threads, carefully securing them with a couple of strong knots and removing the visible part with scissors.

Strokes for perfection

So the knitted turban is ready! You probably noticed that its production did not take more than 3 hours, and experienced craftswomen spent even less time on it. Well, at the end of the work, we suggest that you decorate the resulting knitted turbans (photo samples are presented in the article). For decoration, you can use anything (whatever is at hand):

• brooches already on the finished mount;
• beads of all colors and sizes;
• feathers;
• thermal stickers and handmade embroidery.

Although this is not so important, because the main beauty lies in simple simplicity. Wear this knitted turban however you like and be happy!
