Most people are unlikely to be able to answer correctly when asked what size of headdress they have. Even in the sizes of clothes, some do not understand very well, let alone hats and caps. Moreover, hats in our country are worn mainly in winter, and even then not all. But when a child appears in the family, questions about clothing sizes become more relevant than ever for him. Many parents who have their first baby and have no experience yet face the following question: how to determine the size of hats for children? After all, this is a very important part of the children's wardrobe.

How to determine the size of a hat for a child

When buying a headdress for a child, it is not always possible to try it on, because you will not drag your child to the store to buy a hat, especially if the baby is only a few months old. In addition, it is very easy to determine the size of hats for children. To do this, you need a centimeter tape or a thick thread,which doesn't stretch. The tape should be attached to the most convex part of the back of the head, and in front, attach it over the baby's eyebrows. The tape should not be stretched, and if it turned out not to be an integer, then round up. This is how the circumference of the child's head is measured, the actual number obtained will determine the size of the hats for children. For example, if the measurements gave a result of 45 cm, then the cap size will be 46th. When choosing a product, you should also focus on the age of the child.

Baby's head will grow very fast in the first year of life, so don't buy many hats of the same size. What was a child at just three months old, in six months will, for sure, not be enough for him. Therefore, it is better to buy several things of different sizes, for growth. For example, for a child up to three months, size 44 is suitable, at six months he can buy a hat of size 46, by the year - 48. These are average figures, and they may differ for different children, because all people are individual, and each has its own parameters. After a year, the size of the head will not change so rapidly, but before buying, you should still measure the girth of the head so as not to make a mistake with the choice.

Sizes of winter and summer hats for children

It should be noted that the approaches to choosing summer and winter hats are different. Indeed, in winter, often, especially in the first year of a baby's life, a thinner hat or cap is put on under the hat. In this case, how to choose a hat for a child?The size of the winter hat should be slightly larger than the circumference of the baby's head. In summer, the hat should correspond to the size of the child, and be neither too big nor too small. Sometimes, on children's clothes, the manufacturer indicates not only the size, but also the recommended age of children for whom this product is suitable. This helps to orient and make the right choice.
