Traditional Isicholo is a hat hat worn by Zulu woman(bride) during ceremonial occasions. Isicholo are constructed by weaving grass into a unique shape, covering the woven structure with fabric before hand sewing the cloth to the woven frame. African beads may be beaded by hand in bright, geometric designs around the base of the hat. They may be used functionally or as a wall or home decor piece. A basic isicholo hat can cost between R150 to R1000 depending on design and complexity.
My Isicholo hat is finished! My friends are impressed with the hat and they appreciated knowing the tradition of Zulu women wearing the Isicholo for special occasions. I want to share a pic with you but I don’t know how to share it. Thank you, again! I love your work.
I want to make it for my wedding, but I want to make some white beads that will partially cover my face sort of, if you know what I mean. So instead of lifting up the Vail after I say I do. Beads will be there be white beads. I'm thinking I will add some matching velcro so I can remove it after for pictures. Do you think that would work.
@beautarie. Your work is beautiful. As a South African woman of Nguni descent I would like to correct you. The name of the hat is Isiqholo originally worn by married Zulu women using their own natural hair. It is not a wedding or bridal ceremonial hat, it is a traditional head gear for married women. In our Nguni culture your status was differentiated by clothing, beads hair style etc. So in the Zulu culture married women wore their hair in ISIQHOLO shape. But nowadays it is worn as a fashion accessory.
@@melissasturgis trace your ancestry, if they were slaves you are most likely from west Africa and few parts central Africa ie Zaire now Congo since it was the "fastest "route compared to the others.. Though tribe would be quite hard to trace as they are very many
This is brilliant. Take it from a South African who stays with Zulus. You have done an amazing job. I will definitely try this one. Thank you so much for sharing.
This is beautiful .Since the day I watched it i promised my self I will make one . Right now am making 2 for my children and I will still make for my self . Thanks my love , you made it so simple to understand . God bless you richly
You are God sent honestly .. my school is doing traditional outfits presentation and I picked the Zulu tribe.. I was about to buy this hat when this video just came in. Am so excited . Will post the feedback to you . Thank you

@@Beautarie I made it stif by using a very small crochet needle, and if its not because of the yarn I used the spray that you can make your hair stand straight up , dont know how theuy call it.
Or use the cardboard, cover with fabric and put your crochet pieces over the fabric. Same color yarn/fabric - lots of possibilities! Hope that made sense and helps.
Amazingly Gorgeous!!! I have been trying to figure out how to make this hat. You have simplified the technique profoundly. Thank you so much. I can now finish my project. Keep up the superb work 👏🏽 Blessings 🙏🏾
Thank you for this video. I have two difference size circular cardboard piece and wanted to make a head piece. God answered my prayers. Just hope the small will be right size.
your fabric is beautiful!! I think this hat is just the most beautiful hat ive seen. I seen a women here in Tucson from the Gem show wear this type of hat she looked so fancy. The fabric you use is so colorful.
Thank you for this hat I've been trying to figure out a way to create it on the way that you do it is very wonderful but in order to make a little slit that you did in the beginning to cover around the had to give it a pretty old look you can also do like your Ruffles for a skirt or a top in order to get that shape so you can cut it out once thank you so much for this that came out wonderfully I was able to upgrade what you done
Thank you my beloved sister I will be trying the headset soon I must gather the materials together first then I will begin to do this it is not as complicated as I thought it would be but believe one thing I will be doing it and very soon I think they will make wonderful gifts for my daughters

Thank you for the facts. Nice to learn👍🏾🙂🙂
Hawu mina bengisithi isiqholo ngumuntu oStubborn. NgesiNdebele(northern) we call it icholo kumbe isicholo.
Correct spelling is ISICHOLO.
I need to find out i tribe I'm from as an African American woman with African decent.

I wanted to make this for a long time thank you, I always crochet it, and now I can make it with afrikan fabric. You are the best greatings Aisa
I didn't know it can also be crotcheted. So after how do u make it hard to maintain shape?
@@Beautarie I made it stif by using a very small crochet needle, and if its not because of the yarn I used the spray that you can make your hair stand straight up , dont know how theuy call it.
@@AisaCreationZ How about using spray starch to stiffen the crochet?
Or use the cardboard, cover with fabric and put your crochet pieces over the fabric. Same color yarn/fabric - lots of possibilities! Hope that made sense and helps.
@@VFEdge thanx for this idea..love it
