A CAP WITH an AVERAGE STRIP 

Caps are sewn from soft lightweight fabrics. 
 
A cap usually consists of three parts: two side parts and middle strips. 
 
For infants, the most practical are: cap with medium band on cap with a bottom and a cap with flaps. A cap, shown in Fig. 37, consists of three parts - two side parts and middle strips. This well cap covers the head of the child and recommended for children up to 3 months.

In the drawing the sides of the bonnet for child up to 3 months. you can use the following dimensions: length 13 cm, width 11 cm, for children from 3 to 7 months. measurements of length and width add 1 cm; for kids 7 - 12 months. add 2 see

Drawing side detail

To the drawing the sides of the cap, you must first make a rectangle of ABHV (Fig. 38) according to the measurements listed above. 

The first auxiliary line D divides the rectangle in half vertically. 
 
The second auxiliary line AE divides the rectangle in half horizontally.
 
A third auxiliary line connects the point D and E. 
 
The fourth auxiliary line connects points E and D. 
 
 Lateral line. From point A to postpone to bottom vertically 0.5 cm From the received point to defer to the left of 0.5 cm and put an end A. Then from point G to the left horizontally to defer 1/3 cut HELL. From the received point to delay down 0.5 cm and put an end G.
 
Connect the dots A, D, E and G curve, the middle of which is placed at a distance of 2.5 cm from the auxiliary line ED.
 
The front line. Connect the dots A, E, D, G a smooth curve line. The middle of this line, denoted by point W is at a distance of 1.5 cm from the auxiliary lines AD. At the point W cap ready to fit the chin. 

Drawing of middle-sized strips 

When you build drawing of the middle strip of the cap is necessary to pay attention to the length and width of the strip.
 
Strip length equal to the length of the line ADEH in Fig. 38, if the strip is cut in the oblique direction yarns of the fabric. If the strip you cut the common thread to the length you need to add 2 cm of This increase is necessary in order to cap loosely covering the baby's head. 
 
Width of middle strip is 3.5 cm for children up to 3 months. For ages 3 - 7 and 7 - 12 months. add respectively 0.5 cm and 1 cm 

in the drawing of the middle strip of the cap we have to draw the rectangle ABGW (Fig. 39), where the lines AB and VG is equal to the length of the strips, the lines AB and BG is the half width. 
 
 Auxiliary line. Line AB be divided in half and put a point D. From point D with a dotted line, draw a horizontal line to the intersection of the line VG. 
 
 Line the middle of the strip. The middle strips will line VG. 
 
Front line strips. From the point A to the right horizontally to postpone 1/3 of the line AB. From the received point to defer down vertically 0.5 cm and put an end A. Connect point A point In a straight line. 
 
 The lateral line of the strip. From point B horizontally to the right to defer 1/3 of the line BG plus 1cm and place, point B.
 
Point A, D and B to connect with a smooth curve line, which is about a point D slightly to straighten, as shown in the figure. 
 
Along this line, the strip connected to the side part of the bonnet. 

Cutting and sewing of the bonnet 

This model of cap you can cut the grain lines of the fabric or with the location middle of the strip cap in the oblique direction of the threads (Fig. 40). 



If striped cap cuts out the common thread, the fabric is folded in half also common thread. Width of folded fabric should conform to the width of the side parts of the cap plus the average width of the strip plus the seam.


 
The fold of fabric put the middle strip of the cap. If striped cap cut out in the oblique direction of the thread, you need a fabric corner remove and lay the pattern to the middle to bend. 

 
First of all smatyvay and grind off the sides of the cap with medium cap band of the lapped seam.
 

Then at the bottom of the cap make a small Assembly and sewing of equity bake width 2 - 3 cm of the ends of the borders to form ties. The lower section of the cap, you can also sew narrow ribbon. 

 
If the middle stripe of the bonnet cut out the common thread, on the side lines leave seam 2 - 3 cm


CAP WITH the BOTTOM 

Cap with the bottom consists of two parts: the sides and bottom (Fig. 41). 


When sewing cap with the bottom use the following measurements: for children up to 3 months. the length of the lateral part is 14.5 cm, width side panel 11 cm; length of the bottom is 10 cm; the width of the bottom 3.5 cm; for kids 3 to 7 months. and 7 - 12 months. to dimensions add respectively 1 cm and 2 cm in 


the Drawing the front part 

 
in the drawing you need to draw a rectangle ABGW (Fig. 42).

Segments AB and VG is equal to the length of the front part of the bonnet, and the lines AB and BG - width front detail. The front line is a vertical line AB and middle line - the horizontal line AB. 
 
 Lateral line. From point G to postpone 2 cm to the left and put a point D. From point D up to postpone 1 cm and put a point E. the Point E to connect with the point b as shown in the figure. This line is the side line of the front part of the bonnet. This line should be constructed with drawing of the bottom of the cap.

 
 The bottom line is. Point E connected to point B in a straight line. From point B to postpone to the right 5 cm and put the point J. From point W to delay of 1.5 - 2.5 cm to the right (the depth of the tuck) and supply point 3. 

 
From point F upward to defer 4 - 5 cm. the Obtained point linking points W and 3 straight lines. These lines form a tuck. 
 
 Note. Depth (1.5 - 2.5 cm) and height (4 - 5 cm) Darts vary depending on the age of the child. 

The drawing of the bottom 

to Draw a rectangle ABGW (Fig. 43). The width and height of the rectangle should correspond to the length and half the width of the bottom of the cap. 

 Line the middle. Vertical line AB represents the middle of the bottom. 
 
 Lateral line. From point G to the left to postpone 2 cm and place the point D. the Point D to connect with a point And a curve, as shown in the figure. The angle can also leave without curvature. 
 
The width of the bottom shown in the horizontal line DB. This line forms the line of the bottom of the cap. 
 
The bottom can be increased depending on the age of the child. For this you need to continue the line up the middle for 5 - 7 cm and hold a curved line, as shown in Fig. 44. 

Cutting and sewing the cap 

All the details of the cap cuts out on the equity the thread direction of the fabric, folding the fabric in half along the length (Fig. 45). The pattern of the bottom and the front part of the cap is placed on the fabric, aligning the middle lines of details and folds of fabric and leaving a seam allowance of 1 cm for the seam. 


 
Then smatyvay and grind off the front part and the bottom of the cap lapped seam sapacheva the bottom manually on the front side.


 
The front section of the bonnet zastrugivajut on the front side. At the bottom of the cap comply with the Assembly and grind the equity bake or narrow ribbon for ties. 

 
Cap with the bedplate is recommended for babies from 7 months. up to 3 years.

 
For children older than 1 year the size of the cap increases by 2 cm every year. 


A CAP WITH FLAPS 

Cap with flaps (Fig. 46) cut out of one piece of cloth of rectangular shape. A cap of this style sew for girls 1 - 3 years. 

 
The drawing of a cap constructed according to the dimensions, designed for children 1 - 2 years. The length of the cap 19 cm, width 16 cm 
 

For children 2 - 3 years of measurement increase by 2 cm 


drawing of the cap 


to Draw the rectangle whose sides equal the length and width of bonnet. The corners of the rectangle are designated by letters of ABHV (Fig. 47).


The line of the front of the bonnet to designate the vertical line AB, a line of occipital suture with a vertical line VG, a line of mid-cap horizontal line AB, the line length of the cap a horizontal line VG and the angle of the lapel at the ends of the cap with the letter B.

 
After you build your drawing and pattern making of the cap you can start cutting fabric. 


Cutting and sewing hat 

Cap sweep across the grain lines of the fabric. To this end, the fabric folded the length in half. The length and width of the fabric should correspond to the length and width of the cap with an allowance of 1 see 
 
the Pattern a line of mid-to-fold fabrics.
 
Cap only has one seam. The edge of the bonnet sew a lapped seam on the front side. To the lower corners of the bonnet sutured equity strip or narrow ribbon for ties.
