Sizes of women's and men's hats. We knit fashionable men's hats with knitting needles
“I think many knitters, especially beginners, face the same questions when knitting hats: how to determine the head circumference if there is no model nearby? How to determine the depth of the hat? What diameter should the bottom be if we crochet starting from the crown?
Of course, when the one for whom you knit is nearby and you can constantly try on, all these issues are not so relevant, and if you knit as a gift, to order, prepare a dowry for a baby who has not yet been born, then it would be nice to have hand spreadsheet in which all this information is contained.
I myself surfed the Internet a lot, collecting scattered information, copying tables. which I met, but they were all incomplete, inaccurate, I had to open the computer again and torment the search engine and needlewomen on the forums. Therefore, I decided to collect in one table all the information that will be needed to knit a hat)
Let me explain all points:
1. Head circumference.
We take a tailor's centimeter and measure the head in the widest part (best of all at a distance of 1.5-2 cm above the eyebrows, just above the ears and at that point on the back of the head that gives the greatest circumference. It is better to do this several times so that it does not turn out to be what they knitted for their daughter, but it turned out for themselves)
2.
bottom diameter.
We need to determine the diameter of the bottom if we crochet a hat starting from the crown. To do this, we divide the head circumference by 3.14 (remember the math)) In order not to run every time to the calculator, I calculated everything in one fell swoop and entered the data into the table.
Attention!!! It should be borne in mind that for a tight fit, it is necessary to subtract 0.5-1.5 cm from the resulting figure.
A lot more depends on this:
1) from the pattern- if you knit with single crochets, and such knitting does not stretch at all, then you can take nothing at all if you knit openwork pattern, or double crochets, then you can take away about 1 cm;
2) from your knitting density- if you knit tightly, then you need to take less, and if it is loose, then more;
3) from the one to whom you knit, if it’s for a child, then it’s better not to take away a lot from the number from the second column, since the head of the children grows and it’s better to knit a little with a margin so that you have enough for the season, and if you’re lucky, then the next) For an adult, you can take 1 cm and more so that the cap sits tightly on the head.
4) from yarn- cotton can shrink a little after washing, just like wool, and acrylic and viscose can stretch, this should also be taken into account when calculating the diameter of the bottom.
3. Cap depth, i.e. the height of the resulting headgear.
We measure with a centimeter from ear to ear, through the crown, divide by 2 and add 1-3 cm, depending on how much we want to cover the ears. If it is not possible to measure, then we focus on the table, but we must take into account that there are exceptions to every rule. Attention!!! The table shows the depth when unfolded, when put on it should be a little more.
4. Age.
Everything is clear here)) This column is just what you need in order to roughly estimate the dimensions if you cannot take measurements.
Buying hats, buyers are faced with the fact that they are not at all guided by their sizes. The choice of this or that hat is made after several fittings. But there are times when you need to know when buying
Choosing a hat for a child
Hats are a must in every child's wardrobe. A seasonal collection of hats will be needed immediately after the birth of the baby. To purchase them, you can not do without knowing the exact size of the cap. When buying hats for adults, you can simply pick them up by trying them on. Children's clothing, especially for infants, is purchased according to their size. In order not to make a mistake in the choice, one should also take into account the fact that the baby is growing rapidly.
They also change. A new purchase must be made every six months. Demi-season and fur hats get a little bigger.
How can you determine the size of the hat?
When shopping for clothes for a child, you need to know the following data: age, height and head circumference. Correspondence of these parameters in children individually. The main characteristic when choosing a hat is the girth of the head.
It is easy to define it. You can measure the child's head with a centimeter tape. If the centimeter is missing, a dense, non-stretching thread and a ruler can be used for this purpose. Measurements are carried out by making a girth of the head. impose in front in the middle of the frontal part and then - behind, along the most convex occipital part. If measurements are taken with a thread, then its length after entwining the head is measured with a ruler. The resulting number is the required cap size.
Size chart
To decide on the purchase of a headdress, you can use the existing information on clothing parameters. The table includes data that can be compared with the measurements of the child. This source has information about the correspondence of age, height and head girth. The last parameter is given in centimeters.
How to use sizing information?
After measuring the circumference of the baby's head, you can easily determine the size of the cap from the table. However, you do not need to blindly follow the recommendations given in the table. Despite the fact that the information collected in the source is based on the practice of real purchases, in each individual case it is necessary to correct the data. Each child is individual. The resulting measurements should be rounded. If, for example, the baby is one and a half years old, and the head circumference is forty-eight and a half centimeters, then the forty-ninth size is chosen in the table. Parameters are rounded up.
Determination of the size of hats for adults
Clothing is a product of a huge and complex assortment. Hats can be grouped according to certain criteria. Men's, women's and children's hats for different age groups made from various materials.
The seasonal factor also affects the range of this type of clothing. Also, hats are divided by purpose and shape. However, size remains the most important parameter. It is determined in the same way as for children's clothing. In order to determine more accurate and correct sizes of women's and men's hats, additional head measurements are taken. In addition to girth, measure the line of the longitudinal arc. This is the distance from the superciliary cavities to the protruding occiput. The second additional measurement is the measurement of the transverse line of the head. A centimeter is applied from one temple to another through the crown point. Two additional measurements will help you more accurately choose a headgear for adults.
Adult Headwear Size Chart
Having at hand measurements taken heads, they are compared with existing information materials, which determine the size of the cap. The table of Russian manufacturers gives the parameters in centimeters.
International parameters are denoted by Latin numerals. Many countries measure the circumference of the head in inches and have a specific numbering for hat sizes. Unlike children's hat size charts, information materials for women's and men's hats do not have data on height and age. They provide information only about the main size of the cap, which corresponds to the girth of the head. After taking measurements, they are compared with the data given in the table. Comparison is rounded down.
This spring, my husband puzzled me with the search for a new hat. To begin with, it was necessary to determine what is the ideal men's knitted hat?
- First, the hat must be knitted from natural materials(wool, cashmere) with the addition of acrylic or polyester. Additives should be 30 percent, maximum 50. Wool should be soft, not prickly. If suddenly a man has sensitive skin, then it is better to choose cashmere instead of wool.
- Secondly, the hat should be with a lapel for winter and straight, without a lapel for spring / autumn. It can be a stocking hat or a beanie hat.
- Thirdly, the hat should match the color under outerwear. Now it's not fashionable to wear black and gray dull hats, bright colors especially under sport style in trend.
What can shops offer us? Men's hats, knitted or by car are preferably sold from synthetic fabrics. Synthetics are of course cheaper than wool and cashmere, so you can make a hat that costs 100-200 rubles. and sell it for 1000 or more. Seriously, stores are not modest, and if you estimate the cost of yarn and work, then the wrapping on small accessories, in the form of hats, scarves, is simply depressing. In addition, it is very difficult to find a hat of the desired depth and color, taking into account the above requirements.
I can knit a hat with knitting needles, it occurred to me after I calculated the cost of the threads. How much yarn do you need for a hat? 100-150 grams. A skein of good wool costs 200-300 rubles, and cashmere yarn can be bought up to 500. First of all, I came home and began to look through the models knitted men's hats.
So many different knitted men's hats can be found on the Internet:
- hat - beanie
- hat with aran
- jacquard pattern hat
- multi-colored hat
- hat with rhombus and braids
- simple hats tied with an elastic band also look interesting.
There are many on youtube beautiful hats, which are knitted not only by women, but also by men. Choose good tutorials and knit to your heart's content. I couldn’t stop at one model, so my husband got three hats for the price of one store. Yarn with good composition And best quality. My husband will wear my hats for more than one season, and of course they will not roll up, they will not peel.

How to determine the size of a men's hat?
When measuring the circumference of the head with a centimeter tape, make sure that it is not stretched too tight.
The size of a man's hat is usually determined by the circumference of the head. To measure the circumference of your head, take a measuring tape and wrap your head around. The tape should pass 2 centimeters above the eyebrows, and along the most protruding part of the back of the head.
If there is no measuring tape at hand, you can measure the girth of the head with a regular thread. Wrap the head with a thread, cut off the extra elements, measure the remaining piece with a regular ruler. The head circumference of an adult male is usually 54-65 cm, so in this case you need to take a larger ruler.
The resulting size will correspond to the Russian and Ukrainian size of the men's hat. For example, you measured the circumference of your head and it was 58 cm. This will correspond to 58 men's size.

A cap or baseball cap is a special headwear that needs to be chosen very carefully.
They are usually sold with a size adjustment. Molded baseball caps have fixed size so it's important to order the right one.
Each headwear manufacturer produces caps according to its own dimensional grids. It is almost impossible to determine it by eye, so there is a special correspondence table. Use it before ordering a thing on the Internet.

It will also be useful for you to know the sizes for men: , , .

Wrap the measuring tape around your head above the eyebrows, passing through the back of the head. Compare the result obtained with the results of the table. This way you can calculate the size of most modern brands.
English and American designations are calculated differently. Here, the diameter of the head circumference is taken into account. To determine the size of a baseball cap, you need to resort to simple calculations.
Example: having measured the girth of the head (OG), we get 58 cm. We calculate the diameter of the circle D = OG / π = 58 / 3.14 = 18.5 cm. We translate this number into inches 18.5 / 2.54 = 7.28. We look for the most suitable parameter in the table. Result: 58 Russian = 7.25 English.
