how to make a horned or viking fleece hat
Step 1 – Cut Out the Horned hat Patterns
You will need to assemble the pattern. For instructions on how to assemble the sewing pattern click here.
This warm fleece hat requires two of the basic hat pattern (in the size you desire, it comes in sizes baby to adult).
Cut two of the basic hat pattern and cut 2 of each of the horns.
Step 2 – Begin to sew the Horns
To help give the horns structure we’ll sew with a .5 inch seam allowance.
Sew all around the horns leaving the bottom open for turning.
Snip slits in the curves and trip the top tip.
Turn right side out. Don’t worry about the seam allowance tail, it’ll be trimmed later.
Stuff the horns to firmness.
Don’t stuff the bottom .5 inch ( about a finger width) for seam allowance.
Step 3 – Add the horns and sew the sides of the hat
With right side of the hat facing up, place horns on the either side of the hat. Sew or tack on using a .5 seam allowance (this will make it much easier to sew the sides of the hat in a moment).
Place the second half of the hat right side facing down on top of the hat and horns. Sew the sides using a .5 inch seam allowance.
Finally finish the hat by sewing the “v” shut and turning up the brim. You can see detailed instructions on that here.

TUTORIAL of Basic Hat With Horns below:
1 – Cut out the Horn patterns
You will need to assemble the pattern. For instructions on how to assemble the sewing pattern click here.
You will cut out two pieces of left and right horn.
Pin right sides together of each individual horn (I.E. both left together, both right together).
2 – Sew the horns
Sew each horn together. For Baby hats use a .5 inch seam. For children and adult hats use a .25 inch seam. Sew two sides of the horn, leaving the straight side (bottom of horn) open for turning.
3 – Turn the horns
Trim with scissors close to the top point of the horn (this will give it a nice point then turned). Invert the fabric by pushing it through right side out so you will have a nice point at the top of your horn.
4 – Place horns and make the hat
Place horns on right side of fabric as pictured. Pin in place.
Put the second basic hat pattern (right side facing down) on top making a sandwich. Follow the remaining steps as described in the basic hat tutorial.

SO I took this basic hat and made an acorn hat for my daughter’s halloween costume, she’s going to be Autumn. I just printed two of the patterns and only used about half of the length of the pattern to create the top, added a stuffed stem sewed in at the top. When I constructed it, I treated the acorn top part and the full hat as one piece of fabric, sewed it up and bam done. I also lined it with more brown. It turned out cute, I only wish I had put in a pipe cleaner in the stem so it would stand up better.
Cute idea!
