Please take your time cutting out the frog eyes, pupils as we will be using them for applique and you’ll want clean cuts so it will look good.

Then using a zig zag stitch along the edge of the pupil, sew on.

note

For demonstration reasons I’ve used contrasting thread – but I recommend you use a thread that matched the pupil color.

Step 3 – Pin and Sew the Frog Eyes to the Hat

This is the trickiest part of the pattern. Taking and exterior and interior eye piece, put right sides together and line up the bottoms of the pieces. 

Line up the exterior edges of the piece and pin

The exterior is larger than the interior so your eye will have a nice outline. Line up the exterior edges of the piece and pin

I like to use a lot of pins to get this right. For a baby hat use a .5 inch seam, for a child or adult hat use a .25 inch seam.

Step 4 – Complete the Frog fleece Hat Assembly

Final assembly of the fleece frog hat using fleecefun’s free pattern and tutorial

Place and pin the eyes where you would like them to be on the hat. You want the tops of the eyes facing in, sitting on the right side of the fabric, I like to tack down the eyes with a .25 seam allowance to help sewing through all the layers. You will then place the other half of the hat (right side down) on top.

Using a 1/2 inch seam allowance, sew each side of the hat (the long curved side to the point before it dips into a “V”. Be sure to leave the bottom (the brim) open. Now that you’ve sewn the sides of the hat it’s time to close the top. Fold the hat in half so the seams you just sewed are touching. Pin the “v” on each side closed. Sew one seam along the top of the hat closing the v on both sides. (This will make a rounded top.)Turn the brim edge under 1 inch (or more/less if you like) pin and sew a zig-zag stitch over the edge of the fabric. Snip any loose threads and turn right side out.

Tada! Your hat is finished.

Quick Tip

Because of the layers, sew slowly over the sections with the eyes – it will keep the stitches more even
