Selecting knitted hats for a round face - what you should pay attention to

Stylish headdress against cold weather

For the season of severe frosts, each girl selects several styles of hats for herself.
A comfortable hat should not just be a savior from the cold, it should fit into your wardrobe and add a final magical touch to your finished look. What models can you use to emphasize your natural beauty and femininity? Most women with a rounded face complain about the large volume of their cheeks. This means you need a hat that visually elongates the silhouette of your face.

You should also consider the color type of your appearance. If your headwear complements your natural skin tone, you will always look brighter and more stylish.

Features and Benefits

Advantages of hats:

• Variety of styles. Indeed, on store shelves you can find both classic and unusual models. The wealth of choice allows you to choose the best option.
• A variety of materials from which they are made. Synthetic and natural materials are used to produce hats.
• Exclusive. This parameter applies to knitted products that are made by hand. Each craftswoman has the opportunity to create a completely unique thing. Taking any pattern as a basis, she will embody it in her own color scheme and decorate the model at her discretion. It is impossible to find another hat like this.
• Perfect fit. A hat, especially a knitted one, takes the shape of its owner’s head and looks amazing.
• Convenient storage. A hat is a soft product that can be given any shape. Plus, it takes up little space. Therefore, it will easily fit on a shelf in a closet.

Types, types and styles

There are a great variety of styles and types of hats and each of them has its own distinctive features.

• A classic hat is a product that fits tightly around the head, without any folds or other decorative elements.
• Papakha is a sheepskin headdress that has a cylindrical shape.
• To make dense hats that are resistant to strong cold winds, the felting technique is often used.
• A helmet hat is a long model that covers the neck with a hole for the face. This hat is popular among athletes, as well as for children.

• Boyarka is a hat with a rounded embroidered crown and a wide fur trim made of skin with long fluffy pile.
• A bonnet hat is a product with elongated side parts that imitate a scarf, allowing you to cover your neck and keep it warm.
• The cap was created in the form of a headdress for flight attendants, as well as for the military. To make the model, furs and felt material are used. The casual cap is much larger than the one that is part of the uniform, so it allows you to cover your head and ears, protecting you from the cold.
• The Mongolian hat is similar in style to the Boyarka model, the difference is that the first one is equipped with ties at the back.

• Berets are a favorite headdress of street artists because there is something romantic about their appearance. A flat headdress can be made from various types of materials.
• The collar hat has an interesting cut that looks more like a scarf than a hat. A ring-shaped knitted or fur item can be safely thrown over the head, protecting the neck from the cold as well.
• Hats also include caps, the number of models of which is also amazing. Eight-piece caps, rapper straight caps, models with mesh, baseball caps, flat caps and many others - everyone can choose a cap to their liking.

The sock cap looks like a long product, the tip of which hangs down due to the gathering of the cap at the back.

• The bandana hat is made in the form of a fur or wool triangular scarf, fastened at the back. The scarf hat has a similar cut to the bandana model.
• The turban hat is reminiscent of a turban in its style. Often such a product is decorated on the front with a large stone or an oval brooch.
• Square hats look very unusual because, due to the way they are cut, the corners of the square stick out, creating the appearance of cute little ears.
• The style of hat called a pie is a cross between a hat and a cap. This product looks interesting, but is not always appropriate.
• Another unusual model is the jockey's hat, presented in the form of a helmet. This product is made of thick felt and has a certain style.

• Hats with a round shape are often equipped with a veil. This product is not suitable for everyday use - it is too pretentious and vulgar, but as an evening out it will be quite useful.
• The hood hat is in some ways similar to the collar, since it is put on according to the same principle. But unlike the first, the peculiarity of the cut is that the product has a hole for the face and is worn specifically on the head as a hat.

Thin hats are good for spring and autumn, when it is still hot in a dense product, but weather conditions already require that the head be covered.

Warm models are very relevant in the winter cold. Made from fur, dense multi-layer yarn, or other material using an insulating lining - any of these options will do.

There is a third option for hats - demi-season ones, which are good for average weather conditions. When the wind is no longer so warm and light, and the air temperature is at the border of zero.

Some models of hats, even if they are not related to caps, can be equipped with a small or large visor as a decorative element.

It is worth paying special attention to knitted hats, since knitting techniques differ from each other and can themselves be decor.

• Knitting with braids, as well as with a jacquard pattern, looks very beautiful. It is worth mentioning that these two techniques can be combined in one product. The melange hat has a similar technique, which when used in delicate shades looks incredibly feminine.
• Hats made of mohair, plush yarn, and also grass are popular. The yarn got its name because of the small soft fibers that stick out on the product after knitting is completed.
• There are many more models, standing and cool hats with prints, as well as with different purposes - for skiing or swimming.
• Models in different styles are also popular, for example retro, military, hippie. And also with various unusual cut elements - with a slit at the back or a hole at the top, tightened with a drawstring.

Types of hats that you should not pay attention to

Stylists advise deliberately avoiding those styles and genres that unfavorably present the features of your appearance.

This is not easy to do, especially if those “avoided” hat styles are trending. Think carefully before purchasing. Style and fashion are not the same thing.

For some, a current brand will be a feature of style, for others it will become an inappropriate excess. So, it is best for chubby fashionistas to avoid:

• Miniature hats that fit tightly to the head,
• Tall furry fluffy hats,
• Classic berets
• Knitted headbands,
• Ushanka hat,
• Flat retro-style hats, the so-called “pies”.

Of course, there is always room for exception. Strictly speaking, if you really want to wear a “forbidden” model of a hat, you can let your hair down at the same time. Falling curls will visually elongate the contour of the face. It's good if your hairstyle includes bangs. It will also help visually correct the face and distract attention from chubby cheeks.

How to determine your face type without rulers and centimeters?

Of course, you can arm yourself with traditional cutting tools and measure your face down to the millimeter, plugging the numbers into the formula to accurately determine your face type. But to choose a hat, simple methods that do not require much time or effort will be sufficient. So:

• Lazy way

Pull your hair back. Use a hairpin to secure them at the back of your head. Take an old lipstick, stand in front of a large mirror and trace the outline of your face on its surface. Visually determine which geometric figure the drawn outline reminds you of.

• Technologically advanced way

As in the first method, move the hair from your face to the back of your head and use a camera to take a selfie photo. Print the photo on a regular printer and outline the face in the photo with a black or bright marker. Determine your face type by the contour of your figure.

How to determine your face shape

The most accurate way is to use a measuring tape. Arm yourself with it and paper and a pencil to record your results. Stand in front of a mirror and take four measurements.

1. Forehead width. Place a tape measure to the center of your forehead. The starting point is above the curve of the left eyebrow, the ending point is above the curve of the right (or vice versa if you are left-handed).
2. Width of the face. Measure the distance between the cheekbones: from the protruding part of the cheekbone on one side to the other. Typically these points are located under the outer corners of the eyes.
3. Jawline length. Place a tape measure from the tip of your chin to the corner of your jaw. Multiply the resulting value by two.
4. Face length. Measure the distance from the top of your forehead at your hairline to the tip of your chin.

Correlate the obtained values ​​with typical face shapes.

• Oval face. The length is 1.5 times the width. The forehead and chin are approximately the same. The hairline and all corners are rounded.
• Round face. The length and width are approximately equal. The chin is rounded, the hairline is arched.
• Rectangular face (elongated). The length is noticeably greater than the width. The forehead and jawline are approximately the same.
• Square face. The length is equal to the distance between the cheekbones (plus or minus a few centimeters). The width of the forehead and jawline are almost the same.
• Triangular face (“heart”). Wide forehead and cheekbones, but a narrow, sharp chin. The hairline is arched or heart-shaped.
• Pear-shaped face. Large jawline and small forehead. The length can be any.
• Diamond-shaped face (“diamond”). The distance between the cheekbones is noticeably greater than the line of the forehead and chin. The length is also any.

Having decided on the shape of your face, you can go to the store to buy a hat.

Triangular face

Description: prominent cheekbones, wide forehead and sharp chin.

Emphasis should be placed on beautiful cheekbones. Hats with small brims, “children’s” hats with ears, berets and fluffy fur hats will help you with this. Also focus on hats with an asymmetrical cut.

How to choose

The hat should not only fit harmoniously into the image, but also suit the face of its owner. When choosing this headdress, you should adhere to the following rule: large facial features require volume. In knitted models it is achieved using English elastic, braids, and Scandinavian patterns.

If your face is round

Our main task is to visually make the face more oval. To do this, you need to open your forehead, which will lengthen the proportions and balance the image . Long beanie hats, fashionable in recent seasons, will cope with the task perfectly. Large knitted hats are perfect if they do not fit the head, but rather “stand up” in volume.

Pom-poms or vertical patterns will also lengthen the look, and stylish beret caps (postman caps) worn with a visor on one side look flattering if not pulled down over the forehead. The same goes for French-style berets. For brave people, we also offer hats with medium-width brims, but always with a high crown.

Chubby people can say a critical “no” to small, tight-fitting hats, especially those lowered over the forehead . Also, do not pay attention to brimless hats, bowlers, scarves and earflaps with ears bent down. Low and wide headdresses further emphasize the roundness.

Advice! If you like scarves, then feel free to try them on. The only “but”: do not tighten it tightly around your head, but let it hang loosely on your shoulders and make a loose knot. The scarf emphasizes the natural beauty of Russian women, making the image sweet and innocent.

Body proportion and height

When choosing a dress, you also need to remember about body proportions and height.

Hats for a round face, if the girl is fragile, should in no case be voluminous and furry, it looks funny. As well as a large woman in a small knitted hat.

There must be harmony with the facial features of the hat wearer. The clear geometric shape of the hats will not suit ladies with graceful lines of the nose, eyes, and lips. Bright avant-garde headwear is not suitable for girls with classic facial features.

Hats for a round face should be chosen based on height. Wide-brimmed hats and tall models should not be worn by small girls, and small and miniature models should not be worn by those who are tall.

For women with a round face, caps and headwear with a geometric cut are suitable. With lapels, large knit - such products will help make the shape more oval, elongated. Large models with a visor, especially those that have large and, even better, asymmetrical decorative elements, are designed to perform the same task.

Fashionable styles for round faces

The type of headgear that suits you should be vertical. The range of such accessories is not so small. You can choose the current model of a triangular Cossack hat.

Such wardrobe items are not just original and spectacular, they are real magicians in terms of transforming the facial contour.

This headpiece is guaranteed to add extra elegance to your appearance.

Stylists also recommend that chubby young ladies expand their horizons of fashion consciousness and choose stylish hats for their wardrobe, even if you have never worn them.

In this case, the brim of the headdress should be within the average width. Fedora hats will be the best option for covering your head. You can wear them with classic suits and even men's cut shirts.

The main thing with such a costume ensemble is to avoid sharp style and color contrasts.

With a round face

A bell model and a hat that covers the forehead are contraindicated for a round face. The ideal option is a voluminous hat that is shifted back or to the side. Berets look good with such a face.

Popular trend for chubby people

Appearing at the beginning of the 20th century, the funnel hat practically never lost its relevance. In the coming autumn-winter season, fashion is experiencing a real trend boom for this feminine headdress.

Almost every second young lady passing by parades down the street wearing such a hat. A round face will certainly gain sophistication when framed by a snood scarf or a funnel hat. This multifunctional wardrobe item can be worn with any outerwear.

You can knit your own hat in just one evening using a thick variety of yarn.

Which models should overweight women avoid?

In order not to focus attention on the shortcomings of appearance, namely, a puffy oval face, wide cheekbones and a large nose, overweight girls should abandon some models. For example, from pill hats

, which will only emphasize large facial features. They suit girls with small, graceful facial features and sharp cheekbones.

Tight-fitting models

also not the best choice. They visually round the face and narrow its upper part. But for fat girls this is strictly prohibited.

The same can be said for fancy pie hats.

. They suit those with small facial features, but plump girls are better off not even looking in their direction. Otherwise, outwardly they will seem even fuller.

Various headband hats, headbands and fur ear muffs popular among teenagers, which protect only part of the head from the cold, will look ridiculous on overweight women. Refuse them categorically.

Models of hats and other headwear for women with round faces

Suitable headwear for women with a round face are hats that visually narrow the face. Such hats should be high-waisted, open the forehead and in no case fit the head. Hats, caps with a small visor, and voluminous berets with a hanging bottom will look good.

Winter hats for chubby women can be knitted, and the knitting should be large or with a fairly voluminous pattern, but not too much, so as not to aggravate the situation and give the face even more volume. A knitted hat with a pompom on top will also look very good. Don't be scared by the pompom. The fact that a headdress with such a detail is suitable only for very young people is a stereotype that should be destroyed long ago.

An example of stylish hats for a round face is the snood, which has been in trend for more than one season. A tube hat creates the necessary volume around the head, leaving the forehead completely open, thereby visually reducing and making the face narrower. Therefore, such hats are very suitable for women with round and wide faces.

Headdresses suitable for a round face include shawls and scarves, which have returned to fashion and are becoming very popular. They can be knitted, down or fabric. The color of this accessory must be matched to your complexion. Scarves and scarves are a universal accessory with which you can correct any type of face, using a different way of wrapping around the head for each.

You can also consider asymmetrical hats, but you must follow the open forehead rule.

Ushanka hats are also a good option for giving a round face a more elongated shape. They can be fur, knitted, leather-fur. The main thing is that they have a high enough crown.

To create a stylish look with a hat, you need to combine other items of clothing. A hat with earflaps cannot be worn with a mink coat. A classic beret and a down jacket in a sporty style also don’t go well together. The exception, perhaps, is knitted hats, which are suitable for all styles of outerwear; the main thing is to choose a product from a fairly large knit and choose the color.

The color of the hat, in principle, does not matter, but it must be combined with the color of the outerwear and match the complexion. Otherwise, either the hat will look tacky, or the face will become expressionless and lost. There are several general rules for choosing the color scheme of a headdress depending on the hair color of its owner:

• For blondes, pastel colors (beige, peach, soft pink, milky) would be ideal.
• Brunettes are best suited to cool or bright colors (blue, purple, fuchsia)
• It is better for fair-haired people to give preference to calm shades (gray, light green, blue)
• Redheads will suit bright and rich colors (green, yellow, red), as well as all shades of brown.

The universal color for everyone is white. A headdress in this color will suit absolutely any woman.

When choosing a hat, height and body type play an important role. Small hats are not suitable for plump women of small stature, nor are voluminous fur hats suitable for fragile and thin women.

The hat should not only fit harmoniously into the image and visually eliminate the shortcomings of a round face, but also be combined with its features. Women with classic facial features will not suit extravagant asymmetrical hats. Girls with pronounced and sharply defined lines of the nose and cheekbones should avoid hats with clear geometric shapes.

Well, and, naturally, the choice of a hat should be determined by the temperature of the season for which this item of clothing is purchased, and the place of residence, since a hat is not so much a fashion accessory as a functional piece of clothing designed to keep your head warm.

Hat styles for round face shapes

Remember an important principle: having a round face, it is worth establishing a strict taboo on hard and large brims, a low and rounded crown. This means you should avoid lines that will accentuate your natural round features. But an excellent option would be hats with a high crown and moderate brim width. A positive effect can be achieved due to the asymmetry introduced into the image.

The best hat models for ladies with round faces:

• A cowboy hat is a good option that allows you to draw out rounded features. The scope of imagination is not limited here - you can choose a model made of straw or felt, decorated with ribbons, feathers, etc.
• A fedora is the perfect hat shape for a round face and a great excuse to try on an accessory that is always on the pages of fashion magazines. Choose a classic option with a compact brim and a high crown, which will visually make your face longer.
• Model with soft wide brim and high pointed crown. The best choice is a straw hat decorated with a satin ribbon. A round face suits naturalness and slight negligence, so slightly disheveled edges of the headdress and natural materials such as linen, cotton and straw will look good.

One of the main rules when choosing a hat size: the headdress should not be too small relative to the cheeks.

Fashion tip: for a celebration or costume party, stylists recommend adding a spectacular top hat to your look. This model is suitable for ladies with a round face shape and will visually elongate their features. The only condition is that the crown of the hat should not be too high.

Also, chubby girls should pay attention to hat models decorated with all kinds of elements, for example, brooches, feathers, flowers, etc.

How to choose the perfect knitted hat for a round face

The goal of searching for a headdress for a round-shaped face is to find a hat that will visually lengthen the head. The model of a knitted hat should be vertical, due to which the face will appear to be a regular oval shape. The lines in the decorative elements on the hat, decorations and weaving should not be sharp or torn. These tricks will visually “pick up” round cheeks, elongating your face. If you have a round face, pay attention to the following models of knitted hats:

• elongated hats with pom-poms (visually elongate the round shape of the face);
• knitted Cossack hats (look harmonious with a wide scarf or neck scarf);
• knitted caps (worn slightly to one side, creating the correct asymmetry for a round face);
• beret caps with a visor (also placed asymmetrically on the head);
• knitted elongated hats with small asymmetrical decor (the geometry of the decorations should not be round.

We knit a hat for a round face with knitting needles in a step-by-step master class

Here is a sample list:

• Hook
• Wide eye needle
• Scissors
• 3 hours free time

The design of the hat is not complicated, but quite attractive. Suitable for those who don’t knit often, but still want to create something. If only you had the desire and ability to hold two knitting needles in your hands.

We cast on 52 loops using the usual method, leaving a tail so that there is enough for a seam. We begin to knit in regular, familiar garter stitch for 46 rows. All rows must have facing stitches. If you want to add stripes, knit the last loop in the row with a double thread - the main color and the color of the strip. See photo below:

The edge threads need to be tightened, otherwise the edges will be sluggish, and we don’t need this at all. We knit the edge threads inside out - this will create an elegant spikelet around the edges. This can be done, but it is not necessary, see for yourself. Whatever the mood gets you. By the way, which side is the wrong side and which side is the front one, you also have the right to choose yourself. If you do everything as I do - make even stripes, and change the color only in rows that are multiples of two, then you will get something like the following.

The arrows indicate the first row, which was knitted. When worn, it is tucked inward, which favorably emphasizes the round shape of the face, for which it was all intended. In fact, it is not difficult to beat such an oval; it is important to know the basic principles and techniques that will help you cope with this problem. Having made 46 rows, we gradually reduce the number of loops to create the crown. The principle is as follows - starting from the 47th row, we knit every two loops through one, the 48th - according to the drawing, then the 49th - like the 47th and so on. On the 52nd row, we collect all the loops on the thread and tighten them. Crocheting will be the easiest way to do this. The mechanism for creating a hat is practically no different from the process of knitting a regular one, with the only difference being that you need to benefit from this type of face shape.

Let's return to the creation - we pull the remaining loops onto a hook, take the tail of the thread with it and pass it through all the loops, removing them from the knitting needle. There should be a crown. The only thing left to do is sew the edges. There should be no problems with this, because this business is taught as a child. If desired, you can leave the bottom edges unfinished and attach a button or ties there to give the hat a decorative look. We put the hat on our head and decide on the fitting - if something doesn’t suit us, we adjust it and tie it up. The hat should be comfortable and fit unnoticeably on your head, this is the only way you can enjoy using the item. To complete the look, finally switching attention from the round shape of the face, you need to attach a pompom to the top of the head. This way your image will be complete and harmonious. The color of the pompom can be the same color as the hat, or it can be inverse, as you wish. The hat is ready, wear it with pleasure and don’t be ashamed of yourself.

Color embodiment

When choosing a hat for a round face, it is worth taking into account the color pattern of the style. Traditionally, brunettes are best suited to cool colors. Light blue, dark blue, and violet are the most appropriate colors to choose for headdresses for dark-haired girls.

Pastel colors and warm shades remain a priority for blondes. For those with brown hair, it is best to wear green, pistachio and ash. Redheads look brilliant in dark colors: black - yes, peach - no. And the noble white color will decorate any fashionista.

So, we found out that in order to shine with originality and freshness, the owner of a round face should take into account many important nuances. Taking into account all the recommendations, finding the most fashionable winter accessory for yourself is not so difficult. Madam Fashion is a capricious lady. Choose a headdress based on your own preferences. Then wearing a stylish hat in the cold season will become a source of excellent mood for you and a guarantee of good health.

It's a shame that women stopped wearing hats. Or rather, they almost stopped - we can’t give up winter hats, and in the off-season it’s uncomfortable without a beret or cap. But hats that are elegant and complete the look are rarely seen. Perhaps our dynamic life is not very conducive to wearing hats made of Italian straw, but the variety of this accessory is enormous, and there is something interesting, comfortable and attractive for every lady.

For some reason, beauties with luxurious shapes rarely experiment with this part of their wardrobe, but they are the ones who can decorate themselves with the right headdress. Figure flaws, mostly imaginary, will not be so noticeable if you balance the silhouette with a hat, beret or large cap.

By the way, unisex hats, coarse knitted berets and original fur hats are in fashion. Unexpectedly, the fashion house of Dolce & Gabbana and Kenzo offered to wear scarves, but not thin ones, but knitted and stylish ones - this is where a huge field for experiments and discoveries opens up.

Let's forget about the frost-protective purpose of winter hats and learn to be beautiful, regardless of the season, age and size. All in our hands!

What you should pay attention to when choosing a hat

The right color of a headdress can visually reduce the age and give the face a healthy shine and freshness. An incorrectly chosen color of the hat will add a sickly, gray, and despondent appearance to the face.

It is better to choose the color of the hat based on the color of the hair.

What to wear with

For a sporty style look, a small knitted hat is suitable. It should be in harmony with the tone of the down jacket.

When choosing a knitted hat for a coat, you should choose a fine knit headdress. Small decorative elements on the hat will be very appropriate and will add femininity.

Fur hats are combined with classic-cut coats, fur coats and sheepskin coats. It is important to take into account that when composing a winter look consisting of a fur hat and a fur coat, the color and length of the pile of these elements must be the same.

A knitted hat will also go well with the fur coat. But since a fur coat is a voluminous product and is clearly expressed in itself, the hat should not be too textured.

The main rule that needs to be taken into account when creating an image with knitted hats is that voluminous outerwear is suitable for models with fine knitting; textured large knitting is combined with laconic and simple outerwear.
