Crochet Hat Patterns: Fashion Industry Uses Seasons To Design Garments and Accessories

Hats are worn by any person, whatever the age. Of course, there are many reasons why people wear hats includes:

- Keeping hair in order
- Protection from the elements

And, even though the hat doesn’t provide a lot of protection, it does serve a purpose.

A hat can be used as your fashion statement, which is why crochet hat patterns are available. The patterns that are available include a beret, cap or regular hat.

Many people who live in the colder regions of the world will use hats because the yarn thickness will keep the head warm and toasty. There are many folks who design crochet patterns in various colors. And, for people who have some imagination, they can create a work of art that people will be impressed with.

Hats may be worn anytime of the year. And, manufacturers selling them will create them in various sizes. The yarn used will depend on the climate conditions.

Where To Get Ideas For Your Hats

However, you don’t have to spend your money on manufactured hats if you know how to stitch. Rather, you can get some wonderful ideas from magazines, books and the Internet to create your own with some additional modifications to it.

Before designs are launched into the market, a fashion show is put on. When you can catch it on television, you can get some very good ideas to include into your own stitching.  You can also check out instructional shows on the television that help beginners learn the basics and what styles are “in”. You can also get advice from friends to help you get some ideas.

Bear in mind that the fashion world follows all four seasons:

- Spring
- Summer
- Autumn
- Winter

So, crochet hat patterns will follow them.

In the first part of the year, since hasn’t quite melted yet, which means hats have a lighter color shade.  Small darker color stitches are used to mix together with it. You can also add stripes or line to the hat, either at the top or at the sides.

Spring’s arrival means you can create hats using light colors. You can also add butterflies or birds to the middle of the hat or on its side to give it some style. Whatever you decide is fine…so long as the design is in the color of the season.

With the arrival of the autumn season, light colors turn dark. Hats made during this time will be done in black, grey, dark blue, navy, violet, red and other similar dark-like colors.  Use nature to give you some inspiration for artwork.  

There is a lot you can do during the winter when it comes to your crochet hat. While you’ll need to ensure that the hats stay a dark color, you can always give them a touch of red or white. For example:

Snowflakes – white
Christmas trees – green
Santa Claus – red
Reindeer – brown

A combination of any of these will show your true holiday spirit.

Of course, to do any of this, you’ll need to get some yarn from your local store. Yarn can be found in varying thickness and lengths so make sure you get plenty of yarn as you don’t want to run out mid-way of your stitching.

Now, there are many folks who don’t live in cold environments that love to wear hats. Hats are fashion statement that expresses one’s individuality.

You can easily find the right equipment for your crochet hat patterns. You can just purchase what you need and start working. And, if you want to give them as a gift, you can certainly do so. Many folks love getting these as a gift.

With time and practice, you can make all kinds of crochet patterns without ever having to use a book or instructional video. And, if you do really well at it, you can make a business out of it and earn some additional cash.
