Great instructions!  I used them to make a Gir hat (the robot dog from Invader Zim) for my best friend's ten year old daughter, and I had no troubles at all, despite my slightly wobbly stitching.

I chose to use a second colour of fleece to line the hat (mostly for aesthetic reasons, but also because it gets very cold here in Canada and the extra layer will be useful).  I suggest to anyone who wants to attempt this, definitely sew the two pieces of fleece securely together before you try to do any of the shaping darts, or the pieces will flop all over the place and be a total pain.

I also used some leftover little scraps to "stuff" the eyes on this hat so that they'd stick out and look properly bulbousy.  I think that this technique could be easily used to make noses, beaks, muzzles, ears, etc. that are more 3-dimensional:  just sew most of the way around the piece, then pack it full of stuffing before you sew it completely closed.

 Awesome design!

I am trying to make a goat design, any ideas on the face?

I plan on stuffing the horns, I'm just not sure about the face.

You rock! I had leftover fleece from a Christmas present I was making, so I made some hats. I made a pink bunny for my daughter and a little girl hat for her best friend. Since then, I've made a white baby bunny for a friend's newborn daughter, and a yellow lion cub for another friend's newborn son. I still have fleece left, so I'll hang onto it and make more hats until I am totally out. I'll post pictures when I have time later. I cannot thank you enough for the clear, easy instructions and suggestions.
