Hat structure design principles and techniques

Hat is worn on the head, so the human head structure is the basic basis for hat structure design. The main specifications are based on the head circumference, the two ear roots over the top of the arc length (horizontal arc length), forehead over the top of the center to the back of the arc length of the occipital point (longitudinal arc length), the ear roots to the top of the head of the vertical distance and the side of the neck to the top of the head of the vertical distance, etc., as shown in Figure 1. The example specifications to the intermediate body shall prevail, head circumference 58cm, head arc length average 35cm, head circumference 13cm, head height 25cm. according to the hat structure characteristics and modeling change rule, the establishment of a series of hat structure based on paper pattern.

Charting methods and steps:
① first according to the head circumference for the circumference of the circle, take the semicircle; radius of three equal parts, make parallel lines, in the circle at two points, as the starting point of the brim.

② before the middle of the outward measurement of the brim length, drawing the outline of the brim modeling line. Melon skin cap structure is widely used, common tourist hats, various types of work cap, bell-shaped cap, octagonal cap, beret and so on.

Second, bowler hat structure base paper pattern

Bowler hat, cap body is cylindrical, flat cap top, round brim, also known as the can-shaped cap 21, the structural design is shown in Figure 4. Its drawing method and steps are:

① brim: the inner circle to the circumference of the head as a circle, because the human head is slightly oval, that is, the transverse diameter can be slightly shorter than the longitudinal reduction of some, about 0.5cm ~ 0.7cm, but also can not be adjusted to draw into a circle, the outer edge of the inner circle within the radius of the width of the brim as a circle.
② top of the hat and the brim of the same method of inner circle.

③ hat body: hat body height is not lower than the head circumference of the high shall prevail, the hat body circumference that the head circumference, according to 1/2 charting. Bowler hat structure is usually applied to the basin cap, wide-brimmed hat, cowboy hat and duck-tongued cap, military cap.

Third, the wind bonnet structure of the basic paper pattern

Wind bonnet is a typical hood, the whole head wrapped, only revealing the face. Commonly connected with the jacket, become a part of the collar and cap of the garment, structural design as shown in Figure 5. Drawing method and steps are:

① head height +2cm, head circumference / 2-2cm for the length and width of the rectangle; five equal parts of the cap width, 1/5 point for a straight line between the cap and the cap side piece.
② cap side piece before the upper, plus 1.5cm, 2.5cm down to the point, before the center concave 1.5cm; before the lower direction of the lower 5cm, and 1/5 points connected to the auxiliary line; after the lower direction of the inner 2.5cm for the point, and up and the head height of 1/3 points connected to the auxiliary line.

(iii) The center piece of the cap, the upper end is skimmed in 1.5cm, the lower end is skimmed in 2cm, the center piece of the cap and the side piece of the cap shall be equal to the contour line of the stitching.

Fourth, common hat structure design

Hat structure design of the basic method is based on the above hat base paper samples, according to different hat modeling structural requirements, the base paper samples for the corresponding structural processing, the design of the hat changes in the structure.

The application design of the basic paper pattern of the cap

1, the work cap is also known as the tourist cap, is a typical melon skin cap structure. Cap flap usually has four, five and six pieces, etc., the brim is generally duck tongue shape, the back of the cap is designed with an adjustable buckle, usually for the matching hat of the professional clothing, five-piece work cap structure design as an example, to discuss the structure design and steps (as shown in Figure 6):
