this is a hat tutorial for Toogie & anyone else who may be interested in how I did my fleece hat
#1 first off cut four triangles mine is 6.25 inches long & 7 .25 high in the middle & the width 4.25 tapered to the very top #2 is the bottom half of the toque which the length is the width of your head plus .5 to 1 inch more cut two of these on the fold. The fold is the front part so no seam shows there. the back is longer then the front as shown is pic #2. On the right side I took a dinner plate to create the circle & cut it out. The back pc is 2 inches but could be a little longer. The flap for your ears is determined by the placement on your head so measure from the back of your head ear to ear divide by 2 & that is the length down to the ear then I used a cup to round it off. #3 if you use dimensional fabric pay attention to placement here. Remember to cut the bottom half front part on the fold & cut two of them. Pic #4 is the ties they are 3 inches wide by 12 inches long cut into 1 inch strips.#5 I cut a smaller pc into strips for the tassel #6 I stitched the tassels down first. #7 lay the other bottomhalf on top of that & stitch around leaving both ends OPEN. #11 fold bottom in half to join the ends together creating a circle. #12 Fold in half long ways & flip right side out #13 Top stitch @ the top & bottom to create a nice finishing seam. (I serged everything together then top stitched it for added strength) #14 take two pcs of the top hat & sew along one side then do the same with the other side #15 open one half of the top hat & sew the tassel inside keeping all tucked in so as not catch loose ends #16 sew both halves of the top hat together #17 turn inside out & take bottom half of hat & turn inside out too place top half into bottom half & sew all the way around #18 turn right side out & top stitch the seam down where the join for the top & bottom meet. #19 all you have to do now is make the braids & your done! I hope these instructions are helpful & if you have any questions please feel free to ask I will help as much as I can
20.5- 10.25
I drew a line 10.25 on my paper. Then I drew a 2" line down from one end, a 2.5" line down on the other end and a 4.5" line right in the middle.
The side with the 2.5" line is the back, the 2" side is the front and will be on the fold when you cut out your pattern. I hope that this helps you out Toogie
