Directions:
Cut your
fleece material in half and lay the
pieces on top of each other. Measure
your child’s head circumference. Add two
inches for seam allowance and ease. Divide
this total by two and use this number
as the
length of your triangle and pin both ends of
the line. Then locate the exact middleof this
line, measure 20 inches up and pin. Cut from
the top pin to each side pin.
Using a ½
inch seam allowance, sew the two sides
of the triangle from the base up to the
point. Leave the base open. Use a
pinking shears to trim the edges of the seam. If
you want you can finish the base by
turning it up and sewing the base of
the hat with a ½ inch seam allowance.
This is not necessary but gives the
hat a more finished look. Turn the
hat right side out. Stuff the tip with stuffing
to make it stand straight up. If you’d
like
the hat to look more like an elf hat,
just leave the
stuffing out and let the hat flop down.
