1- Assemble and cut out the Pattern

You will need to cut out the following from the magenta fleece:

2 of the hat top

2 of the hat bottom

1 of the fur trim insert

2- Begin to sew the hat

3 – Add decorative detailing

For the second layer of decor, pin about a half inch away from the ribbon and sew down.

4 – Prep the fur piece

5 – Bring the hat together

Tip:  With really long furn try your best to make sure that it’s in between the two hat pieces and not sticking  of the seam as this will be stuck inside the hat once we turn it.

Sew all the way around using a half inch seam allowance, leaving a 3.5 to 4 inahc gap in the bakc for turning.

Trim sections of hat that might be bulky and flip right side out.

Topstitch .25  inch from the edge all the way around the main part of the hat ( not on the fur – just the fleece part).  to give hat shape and sew the gap shut.

This hat has no way to stay on the head without a little help – you will either need to sew an elastic fro each poin at the ear flaps to go under the chin, or sew (or glue) combs into the inside of the hat to help it stay in place.

  1. I love the patterns for the cape and the hat! I made a small cape for my great niece, and just finished a larger size 7-9 for my granddaughter. Whew! I am just a beginner sewer, but I did have a slight problem. I cut out the hat two times before I finally figured out my problem. The bottom part of the pattern for the hat does not say “place on fold”, so I didn’t. 🙂 I finally figured out by looking at the pictures over and over that I needed it on the fold. Also, the collar piece for the 7-9 cape pattern does not say on it “place on fold.” I remembered from the smaller cape that I needed to place it on the fold. I am not complaining! I’m just such a visual, literal learner.
