Description
Watch out, it's a big file!Also see how to color fleece eyes to go on your hat. --> [link]
How to replace the band with ear-flaps! --> [link]
And how to sew on ears! --> [link]
Pattern: also notes the size of the rectangle
NOTE: pattern includes a 1/4" or .6cm seam allowance. That means sew that far from the edge.
If you are one of the many people only familiar with the metric system, I'm sorry I didn't include those measurements but here is a wonderful conversion tool. --> [link]
Alright you've been waiting for it so here it is. Firstly I'd like to state that this was a big pain to make. I have no idea how others can stand to make these.
Now this is just a basic hat so you can embellish it however you want. Please don't ask me how to make anything specific; either you'll have to figure it out or buy it from me.
Please don't post this anywhere, kindly leave a link instead.
Tutorial (c) me, Clearkid - For the glory of God!
Edit: OK, so I've had several people express confusion on the last step. I will attempt to clarify it here:
First sew the short edges of the band together, forming a loop. Then fold it the long way with the seam inside so you have a double thick loop. Take your main hat part and turn it inside out with the seams facing out. Turn the hat upside-down like a bowl! Now, take your double thick band with it's two raw edges facing up, and place it INSIDE the hat so that those two edges line up the the edge of the hat. Pin it together starting with the seam of the loop lined up with the back seam of you hat. Then fold it in half and pin the front, and then the sides and in-between. Then you're going to sew the tree layers together at the top. When you've finished, take out your pins and fold the brim down, and turn the hat right-side-out again to finish.
Now, that's the detailed explaination. In essence, all you're really doing in the last step, is sewing the brim to the bottom of the hat in a way that hides the seam on the inside. Hope it helps guys! If you still have questions, feel free to post them here.

And one last thing. If you make a hat, I'd love to see it. You can post your links here. :3

I keep running into the same problem when I make my hats:
The hat is always bigger than the band, and it bunches up at the end. How do I stop this from happening?

clearkid In reply to Airlesse [2012-08-09 21:23:58 +0000 UTC]
If the hat is always bigger, cut off a little extra off the sides of the tringe hat pieces so the total circumference is less when you sew it. Also, if you pin the band to the hat before you sew it, fold the band in half and again to pin it evenly at all four seams so it won't bunch at the end.

You can probably try making the band rectangle a little longer so that the circumference of the band increases in size too. =o If you haven't already.

I guess that would be easier than sewing all of the quarters in by a bit. XD

Yes, the wings are sewn onto the seam of the band on the inside.

Malodbrii In reply to ??? [2012-06-05 00:46:54 +0000 UTC]
Oh, one more question, what kind of stitching is this called? I need to find a video on how to do it properly. XD Unless you've video tutorials?

Malodbrii [2012-06-05 00:20:58 +0000 UTC]
I quick question, do you layer the hats you make? Like, use two sheet for each triangular piece so that it's thick?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
clearkid In reply to Malodbrii [2012-06-07 15:56:50 +0000 UTC]
No, the hats are only one layer thick but the fleece is warm enough. I just use a standard double lock stitch on my sewing machine. If you're sewing by hand you can use a ladder stitch, or if you cut off most of the seam allowance you can do a whip stitch over the edges.

I already made the hat part, but it's the ear flaps that I'm now having trouble with. XD

CandySlush [2012-05-02 01:10:03 +0000 UTC]
When stitching the band around the hat base the fabric of the hat base stretched so the band could not be sewed on without leaving a buckle of left over fabric... if that makes sense. Is there any hints or tricks to avoid this stretching? Or did I maybe make the band to small? I added a extra inch in length of 22" so 23"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
clearkid In reply to CandySlush [2012-05-02 02:17:48 +0000 UTC]
The fleece stretches so the band and the base will match up, but it can also be tricky if you start at one end and just sew around. The trick is to pin the band in place starting with lining up the back seams, then folding it in half and pining the front, then folding it and pinning the sides. If you put 8 pins around and then sew it you won't have a buckle left over.
