Awesome! Thank you!! Wish I could afford to download the pattern, but lost my job so will have to see if I can do without it...kids will LOVE it! Merry Christmas:)

It's not too hard to do without it! And if you aren't confident with your own pattern, sew a simple hat with a cheaper cotton fabric first, so you know what you need to adjust on your pattern before you use the fleece :)
I'd love to see pictures when you're done! Thanks and Merry Christmas!!

That's great! Way to go, I promise the first time you do anything it's always a bit tricky. Do you have any pictures? =]

LOVE it. I think I'm going to have to make one for sure. I'm also getting ideas how to make other characters using your guide as a stepping block. Thanks for sharing this idea. COWABUNGA!
pie popper (author) says: Feb 1, 2011. 8:55 PM
I've made around five different hats using the same base. (Animals, characters, just 'normal' hats, etc.) (That's why you want to save the patterns you use!!)

It's just so hard to explain it again and again in an instructible. XD Otherwise I'd make them all into ibles.

SOOOOOOOO want to make one for my husband! Maybe withought the braids.....
pie popper (author) says: Feb 1, 2011. 8:50 PM
You can just get like a two inch by 14 in piece of fleece, sew it together on one side, turn it right side out and tie a knot at the end. It's like the same thing but just green strings, no braids. :)

so I love this hat....lol how much fleece do you think I need??
pie popper (author) says: Feb 1, 2011. 8:48 PM
You shouldn't need too much, I've fit two hats in half a yard easily... I would get half a yard...you can always make another :)

Wow never knew how to braid before haha.
ahaygood says: Jan 31, 2011. 6:23 AM

My son's bike helmet, the cover (Hot Wheels) just came off. This would be great as a replacement cover for the helmet.

COWABUNGA !!
craziemutant says: Jan 26, 2011. 3:30 PM
Pretty cool. Looks great. But I don't think putting eyes on my head helps my image. =P You pull it off nicely, though.

Once I learn how to sew, do some basic projects, I'll then move on to this to further the skill. haha.
