| What you need: | |
| Tape measure
1/2 yard fleece fabric Scissors Needle and thread Buttons, appliqués, or felt pieces for decoration 1 yard decorative cord | |
| Seasons: Christmas, Winter | |
| Materials: buttons, fabric | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  First, determine the size of the hat. (To avoid ruining the
surprise, measure the head of someone who is similar in size to
the recipient.) Now cut a piece of fleece that?s 16 inches wide
and as long as the measurement you took plus 2 inches. |
| 2. |  Fold the fleece in half, right side in so the 16-inch edges
match up. Sew a 1/2-inch-wide seam along this edge, stopping 5
inches from the bottom (see A). Just below the last stitch, make
a 1/2-inch cut in from the side. Turn the material right side
out. Now sew a seam along the last 5 inches of unsewn fleece (see
B). |
| 3. | Roll the bottom of the hat up two turns, so the cuff conceals the bottom part of the seam. To keep the cuff from unrolling, sew on a decorative button, an appliqué, or a felt cutout. |
| 4. | Finally, gather the top 3 inches of the hat and tie a
colorful cord around it.
