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

Hey, I made a hat with from your guides. I think it turned out pretty epic and am pretty stoked about it ^^ The amount of options for expanding on the base hat are so great it really makes me want to make more

Is this one size fits all, or should we measure heads before cutting out the fleece?

The triangle pattern piece fits a normal range, (not a baby) but you need to measure your head to cut the rectangle for the band to get the perfect fit.

Can you do this without a sewing machine?
π: 0 β©: 1
clearkid In reply to Faint111 [2010-12-26 21:24:33 +0000 UTC]
Yes you can, just remember the 1/4 inch seam allowance is included so you'll either need to sew that far away from the edge or trim it off. A hand sewn hat can look just as good, and it's not too big to finish, it just takes longer.

Kitsune-Fiona In reply to ??? [2010-12-23 02:36:16 +0000 UTC]
I made one! It's kind of plain, but I'm not terribly experienced with sewing so I decided to start small.

It's a tricky step to understand until you're seeing it in front of you. Once you do it it makes sense.

You know what's sad? Because of you, I now know what a seam allowance is, but my "Apparel Development" "teacher" doesn't seem to have explained that.

Thanks so much for posting this! I've really been enjoying making them. Here are the hats I've done so far: [link]
The Bunny Hat Mark I is my own pattern (because I wanted to put the seams in a weird place for ear angle), the rest are based on yours. The Bunny Hat Mark II was for Halloween this year, hence the makeup to go with it. The Zombie Kitten cat is for a fake band I'm performing with this Thursday: [link] (If you're near SF, you could come--it's a benefit for Child's Play! If you're not, but interested, it'll be streamed online.) The frog and ladybug hats were just because I liked the ideas. Curvy ladybug wings (elytra, technically) are surprisingly difficult to make out of a single piece! If I make another one I might just put a seam lengthwise in the wings.
