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.
Want to see what others have made? --> [link]
And one last thing. If you make a hat, I'd love to see it. You can post your links here. :3

Are you sure its a foot and not a metre of fabric ? Because a foot seems rather short.

clearkid In reply to giant-cheeseman [2012-04-07 03:15:12 +0000 UTC]
It is, because you only need a little and a foot of fabric is only a foot wide, but it's as long as the bolt of fabric. So you get a 1x5 foot swatch. That's enough for two plain hats and some.

I just want to say thank you so much for this tutorial!! Once I got a handle for how a basic hat is made I went crazy and tweaked the design to make a bunch of hats over Christmas! And also I was just making sure if it'd be okay to link to this tutorial in our blog post that'll be going up sometime this week or maybe next. I'll link to our blog post once it's up if you don't mind!

awwwwwwwwwwwww, thank you so much for this β₯ I love your jolteon hat, it's just so adorable. but you didn't sew white eyes on that one, did you? It looks so seemless, but maybe it's just the picture... I was planning on making a pokΓ©mon hoodie, but now that I've stumbled across your beautiful work, I might go with a hat instead. (I'm just not sure which pokemon to make yet) and now I'm planning on how to proceed with it. So, if its a light color, does it work do paint the eyes on that an do the highlight with white color?

I made a pikachu hat with earflaps and it's ADORABLE!
I needed to cut a little off the pattern to make it smaller (around the head), but it was also a little too long so the earflaps were kinda useless. XD
But it looks a lot better with the earflaps anyways. Thank you very very much for making (and posting) this pattern.
ONE ISSUE!
I had to give away the hat. XD I made it for a secret santa. Heehee.

This tutorial has been so helpful to me. Last year I started using it and haven't stopped. I now have my own side business making fleece hats (which I sell around school, at crafting shows and at an art gallery.) I guess what I'm really trying to say is THANK YOU CLEARKID

If there's no ears on the hat, sewing a different color of fleece onto the inside of the hat should work. I'm sorry if I'm not much help.
