10 minute hat. I've had several PMs asking how I made the hat so here are some pictures.

1. Two pieces of fleece 55cm x 43cm with the stretch along the long side. Stitch together along one long edge with a stretch stitch.
2. Open out and fold to form a long tube. Stitch the side seam.
3. Decide which layer you want for the inside and pull through.
4. Fold over the turn up.
5. Run a gathering thread through 8cm from the top edge and cut the fringe before pulling up the gathers.
6. Tie a fairly broad strip of fleece (cut with the least stretch along the length) tightly around the gathers. Trim the ends so thast they form part of the fringe.
7. On this one I cut the fringe again as I thought it was a bit too chunky

Thank you very much. I'm going to share this one with my 4-H sewing club.....those kids are going to love these. I taught them how to make the sausage pillowcases and they are going to town. We even made these for the Sandy victims on Long Island.

These are so cute! I can see them in school colors. You gave good
directions. I have a problem- I don't know metric measurements. Can
you or someone else tell us in inches? Thanks Maureen

55cm is approx 22" and 43cm is approx 18. You can google this and get a conversion chart

BRILLIANT! We don't need them here in Australia at the moment as it is so darn hot! I can see it as a summer hat though, love and blessings Chris

Thank you, thank you. This is a definite sewing project. You make it look sew very easy. Got to make a trip to Hancocks look for school colors and make a bunch of girls sew very happy. Thank you again.
