Sew a Where the Wild Things Are hat + pattern!

Step 16Turn the hat right side out and admire your ears.

Turn the hat right side out and admire your ears.
I would now recommend having a wild rumpus. If this is not available, make sure to tell everyone around you "I'LL EAT YOU UP!"

Enjoy! :D

This hat is too cute!  Thank you for making your instructions and pattern so easy to follow.  It only took me a couple of hours to make a fantastic edition to my Halloween costume :)

 Thank you thank you thank you for this! I (well, more my mom, my sewing skills are not quite up to par... I did do everything else though :D )
I ended up going to a Halloween party and I won third place with this! (Well, that, and my crown and scepter probably helped too, but everyone LOVED the hat)
Thank you again!
(I didn't get a chance to color my whiskers before, so I plan on doing that before Halloween...)

This is such a great idea! I might make bear ears, instead of wild thing ears, but thanks for the pattern! (I'm going to be a care bear :D)

I just finished running around the house howling (and coughing). Thank you so much for the tutorial. It was such good, easy project for a girl at home with a cold. However, I would suggest folding the tips of the whiskers so that you don't poke an eye out! We wouldn't want that... Heh.

I know this is very VERY last minute (trust me, thats all my parents talk about is how i procratinate. Im going as Max for halloween in 2 days and im justing starting now) but the material i have is some fur, and my sewing machine can only take about 2 layers of that. Is this going to be a problem??

btw, thanks so so soooo much for this tutorial, i dont know what i would have done without it!!! ur the best ^.^

I like the cotton idea, because i finished it and you can see all the overlapping on the inside and it doesnt look too good ):

I think im gonna try and make ur giant mustache next ;)

OK, is it completely weird that I want to make one of these for when the movie comes out? I mean Im 6'5" and 200lbs, but I mean I already have harry Potters Dark Mark tattood on my arm, so I should be fine right? :)

Maybe, but I was asked by a few people where we bought them =D

Ive actually been toying with the idea of making the qhole outfit for Halloween, and going as max as an adult, having become a chain smoking, homeless alcoholic, still living in a fantasy world, and refusing to take off the outfit. Tattered, grimy, holes in it, etc. (Think Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa)
Oct 16, 2009. 10:01 PMknottyrye says:
this is probably the best idea of a halloween costume i've ever heard.

Thank you so so so much for your detailed instructions. I am making this for my 1 year old and am not at all "sewing talented". Your instructions have  made it so easy to understand. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this.

I am soo happy I found your instructions!  I am making Max for my 24 year old son.  I have the hat but couldn't figure out how to get the whiskers in!  Thanks!
