Fleece is a material from which it is very convenient to sew not only toys, but also things. They are soft and warm. We invite you to learn how to sew a fleece hat (pattern, step-by-step master class and recommendations).

Building a pattern

Before you sew anything, you need to build a pattern. You can print it or draw it yourself. The pattern of a regular hat consists of two elements: one domed and one rectangle.

So that the hat is not small or, conversely, large, you need to measure your head. You can also attach your other hat to a sheet of paper and circle it along the contour. Then you need to correct the lines and make a pattern.

The dome is the main part of the fleece hat, the rectangle is the trim of the hat.

Sew a hat

Detailed tutorial on how to sew a fleece hat:

1. The pattern for such a headdress consists of two parts, as described above.
2. Buy two shades of fleece (like black and pink).
3. Apply the pattern to the fabric and cut out all the details, remembering to makesmall gaps on all sides. As a result, you should get this amount: one rectangle each of pink and black, four domed parts of pink and black. Remember that the pattern of rectangles must be attached to the fabric folded in half. After all, its length is equal to half the girth of the head.
4. Place together two pieces of matching shades and sew them on one side.
5. You have two halves of black and pink flowers.
6. Place the pink halves together and sew them together on the sides. Don't touch the bottom.

12. Sew the black hat and pink headband together.
13. Turn two pieces right side out.
14. Place the hats together so that the seam of one headband fits over the other. Sew them together along the edge
15. Turn the hat inside out.

Other options for children's hats

Instead of ears, you can make horns or dragon spikes. The hat pattern remains exactly the same, only the removable parts change.

To sew the horns, draw an elongated triangle on paper with the top slightly raised. Cut out four such details from white fleece and sew them together in pairs. Then turn the horns out and fill them with any filler (for example, synthetic winterizer, holofiber, and so on). Sew the horns to the hat. Use brown or gray fleece for a Viking-like headpiece.

And to turn into a dinosaur or dragon, sew a green hat for your child and make spikes. To do this, cut out twelve triangles from white fabric. Sew them in pairs and fill with synthetic winterizer or other filler. Place the spikes on the hat. They should divide it in half and resemble a mohawk. Alternatively, the spikes can not be sewn on, but made with Velcro.

Hat with earflaps

A headdress made from this material can be fashionable, warm and beautiful at the same time.

And now a detailed description. How to sew a fleece hat:

1. Make a paper pattern of a hat and ears, attach it to the fabric, folded in half, and circle (illustration 1).
2. Apply the hat pattern to the fleece of a different shade and circle it too (illustration 2).
3. You should have two blue and white pieces for the hat and four white pieces for the ears (Figure 3).
4. Place two ear pieces together and sew them together (Figure 4).
5. Unfold the white part of the hat and put the ears on top (see illustration 5).
6. Twist the right and left quarter of the cap (Figure 6).
7. Sew the first blank (Figure 7).
8. Fold the blue blank in the same way, but without adding the ears, and sew it (illustrations 8 and 9).
9. Place the blue piece over the white piece and stitch them together around the edges, leaving holes at the bottom of the lugs (Figures 10 and 11).
10. Turn the hat inside out.
11. Inside the "ears" place pieces of synthetic winterizer so that they warm better (Figure 12).
12. Sew holes.

Everything is ready! You can sew Velcro on the edges of the "ears" so that they do not fly apart.
