Customizable Fleece Hats

Step 3 More details on attatching ears/manes

Here are two photos of my finished lion hat and some clarification (I hope) of how to assemble the mane.

I had first sewn the two seams running from forehead to top-center of the hat, as well as the seam all the way down the back of the hat. This left two seams at the top still unsewn. This is where I put the ears and the mane.

I held the hat right-side-out and figured out how far I wanted the mane and ears to stick up, held it them place between the fabric, and flipped the hat inside-out.
Then I sewed across the entire seam from one side of the hat to the other, pinning down the mane and ears.

This is so cute. I would love to make a lamb or sheep -any ideas would be appreciated Thanks

I think you could do a lamb with curly fleece (Hobby Lobby has a fleece that makes excellent bears) and with tear-drop shaped ears.
