Description Watch out, it's a big file!

Also see how to color fleece eyes to go on your hat. --> [link]
How to replace the band with ear-flaps! --> [link]
And how to sew on ears! --> [link]

Pattern: also notes the size of the rectangle
NOTE: pattern includes a 1/4" or .6cm seam allowance. That means sew that far from the edge.

If you are one of the many people only familiar with the metric system, I'm sorry I didn't include those measurements but here is a wonderful conversion tool. --> [link]

Alright you've been waiting for it so here it is. Firstly I'd like to state that this was a big pain to make. I have no idea how others can stand to make these.

Now this is just a basic hat so you can embellish it however you want. Please don't ask me how to make anything specific; either you'll have to figure it out or buy it from me.

Please don't post this anywhere, kindly leave a link instead.
Tutorial (c) me, Clearkid - For the glory of God!

Edit: OK, so I've had several people express confusion on the last step. I will attempt to clarify it here:

First sew the short edges of the band together, forming a loop. Then fold it the long way with the seam inside so you have a double thick loop. Take your main hat part and turn it inside out with the seams facing out. Turn the hat upside-down like a bowl! Now, take your double thick band with it's two raw edges facing up, and place it INSIDE the hat so that those two edges line up the the edge of the hat. Pin it together starting with the seam of the loop lined up with the back seam of you hat. Then fold it in half and pin the front, and then the sides and in-between. Then you're going to sew the tree layers together at the top. When you've finished, take out your pins and fold the brim down, and turn the hat right-side-out again to finish.

Now, that's the detailed explaination. In essence, all you're really doing in the last step, is sewing the brim to the bottom of the hat in a way that hides the seam on the inside. Hope it helps guys! If you still have questions, feel free to post them here.

Want to see what others have made? --> [link]

And one last thing. If you make a hat, I'd love to see it. You can post your links here. :3

So, wait, if I'm making for a slightly larger head than usual (24 inches), I don't change the size of the hat itself, just the band? =o Is that what I'm gathering?

how long does the rectangle have to be?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

clearkid In reply to Ivy-Frost [2013-06-19 06:53:16 +0000 UTC]

The same length as the distance around your head.

The end result sure looks tight. How big is the finished hat?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

clearkid In reply to Darkpotato57 [2013-06-19 06:57:06 +0000 UTC]

Adult sized. You can scale the standard pattern from 20"-25" circumference by adjusting the length of the rectangle used to make the band.

I tried this, I added ears using your tutorial and those turned out perfect! But the hat itself looked more like an umbrella and the ring did not fit. what did I do wrong?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

clearkid In reply to MadeCheaply [2013-06-19 07:03:53 +0000 UTC]

Perhaps you printed the pattern too large. It's a good idea to check the printed dimensions against a ruler to see if you printed actual size. Or if you're making a kid or baby sized hat, scale the pattern down further.

MadeCheaply In reply to clearkid [2013-06-19 21:27:03 +0000 UTC]

D: Holy cow! I completely forgot sizes. Would it be okay to just put the sizes of these hats and then when someone asks for a commission I can get their size?

This is awesome! Going to make a RainbowDash Hat for my best mate, already the materials! Planning on Mildly stuffing the mane and then "quilting" it. And this Tutorial fits the bill of clear and easy instructions that I can follow and customize (by way of adding pony ears and manes ) So this is brilliant

I see that this is the hat for the drifloon hat you made. I see the X-shaped bandage, eyes, and the tethers in the background of panel 2 in the lower right hand corner. It is so adorable! I might make me one soon.

I think I'd like a visor on the hat I want to make.

How do you get the outer seam of the rectangle to look so neat when the hat is right side out? I'm really sorry but I tried reading what you said to do in the artist comments too, but it isn't helping. D: I'm having trouble understanding them or something...
