What should be the cap for a newborn

Among the first and most necessary clothes for a newborn little man is his cap. Such a baby is still very small, his skin is tender enough, and therefore the hat for a newborn must meet a number of criteria.

The very first and most stringent requirements are imposed on the material from which it is made. This should be a very soft, high-quality material or threads that will not cause irritation to the skin, and will not change their color in case of moisture. Sometimes it's a combination of fabric and knitted fabric. And what will be outside, and what is inside, will depend on the taste of the parents themselves. If we are talking about a warm hat, then the material for its manufacture should be fleece, wool or woolen thread.

If your baby has a newborn's cap with knitting needles, then pay attention to special threads for babies. They can be synthetic, but the cap connected from them not only will not yield to woolen properties, but even surpass it in a number of parameters. If the product is knit for the summer season, then pay attention to the cotton thread. Depending on their thickness, you will have a newborn hat for hot weather, protecting the crumb from the scorching sun, or for a colder period, when you need not only protect the baby's head from the sun, but also hide the ears from the wind. The color of the cap can be very diverse. One of the parents will prefer pastel colors, someone bright cheerful coloring - it's not so important. The main thing is that the dyes used in the manufacture of these materials do not cause any allergic reactions.

No less strict requirements, than to the material, are made to the quality of sewing or knitting the hats. All are cut out in such a way that it does not slip from the baby and constantly closes his ears. Sutures are always removed outside, as very often they are the main source of discomfort and anxiety crumbs. If the cap is two-layer, then the seams can be inside the layers. But in any case, the child should not even guess that they are there.

Variety of performance can only be envied. Almost always the cap accurately repeats the contours of the child's head. In most cases, the cap for a newborn is, of course, a traditional cap decorated with various patterns, ornaments and laces. Do not choose for her a very complex ornament or pattern. Such a cap for a newborn can lose the ability to accurately repeat the contour of the child's head. It will no longer be soft, comfortable and easy. This is another requirement for this class of products.

If you decide that your child should have a cap-cap, then start knitting from the back, tying a rectangular canvas, the width of which will be equal to the occipital part of the head, and the height - the height of the product. Since such a cap should be knit without seams, draw an equal number of loops on both sides of the fabric. Spray on the canvas, equal in length to the distance from the crown to the forehead of the child. The hinges can be closed. The base of the cap for the newborn is ready with knitting needles . Now it should be decorated. Very often, the decoration element is lace, knitted or crocheted and sewn along the line where the loop was made to the initial rectangular canvas. You can also buy satin ribbons, which will not only decorate the hat, but can also become ropes for tying it. But the ropes can be tied up and crocheted.

In any case, whatever cap you plan to tie to your child, the main thing is to do it with love and utmost accuracy, and then success will be guaranteed to you.
