Snowblossom Hat Tutorial

This tutorial shows you how to make the custom-sized fleece hat (featured in this post on Made By Rae: http://www.made-by-rae.com/2010/11/blossom-baby/) for any size head (adult, baby, or child). The tutorial shows you how to make the hat with flowers but you could easily modify it for a more gender-neutral hat. It can also be reversed if the top of the hat is undone!

Step 1 Measure Head Circumference and Cut out fabric

Take a tape measure and measure in inches the head for which this hat will be fashioned.



Cut two rectangles out of two different colors of fleece as follows: the width of each rectangle should be the head circumference plus 1″ (for seam allowances) divided by 2.  The height of the rectangle should be the width plus 3″ (see picture). Before cutting, make sure that you orient your fabric so that it will stretch more when you pull across the width of the rectangle than when you pull across the length.
