I have included the pattern that I used to make this hat. Please scale this as needed-This pattern fits a 22" head. You'll notice that a pattern piece on each page is notated with the actual size of the piece. Just for reference...

The Hat Cap Piece (which looks like a curvey triangle) is 5 3/4" long and 3 5/8" wide at the base

The Hat Band (which is not pictured) is 1" wide X 23 1/4" long

The Hat Front Flap (a half circle) is 9" long and 3" tall

The Hat Ear Flap (The curved piece) is 7" long and 6" tall at its widest (the thinnest section is 2" wide)

The Pocket front is a 2 1/2" square

The Pocket depth is 1" X 7 1/2"

The Pocket flap is 2 1/2" long by 3/4" tall

The Flower Petal is 2 1/4" tall, and is 2 1/4" at it's widest (the base is 1" wide)

****VERY IMPORTANT!***** Before cutting, please note that NONE of these pattern pieces (with the exception of the flower petals) have seam allowance! I would reccomend a 1/2" seam allowance around the entirety of these pieces, to be added on during the cutting process.

Now that you have your pattern, you'll need to cut the following pieces out of the following fabrics...

Fabric A (I used a pink floral)
      3 Hat Cap Pieces
      1 Hat Ear Flap (Cut on the fold, so that you have a "U" shape and a flap for each ear)
      3 flower petals (without seam allowance)

Fabric B (I used a green zebra print)
     3 Hat Cap Pieces
     1 Hat Band
     1 Hat Front Flap
     2 Pocket Fronts
     2 Pocket Depths
     2 Pocket Flaps
     3 Flower Petals (without seam allowance)

Fabric C (the fur)
     6 Hat Cap Pieces
     1 Hat Band
     1 Hat Front Flap
     1 Hat Ear Flap (also cut on the fold)

Once everything is cut, then you get to rock out to some righteous glow in the dark pandemonium!!
