Fleece Hat with Ribbon

Here's a tutorial on how to make a fleece baby hat. It is a super easy project and a wonderful gift for baby showers.

Materials:

• 1/4 yard of fleece 
• Thread
• Sewing Machine
• Scissors
• 3 feet of ribbon

Step 1: First I cut out four identical pieces from my fleece fabric. I guestimated the size based on other hats that Lilly had. You can see the pieces below, kind of  a pentagon shape.

Step 2: Next I sewed the sides of each piece together (front to front) so that I had a long strip as seen in the picture below. 

Step 3: Then I sewed the first piece to the last piece, creating a circle.

Step 4: Then I sewed the top (curvy) sections together as well, in the same way that I sewed the sides together and I ended up with a hat!
Step 5: Next I cut a long strip of fabric that was the same width as the hat and sewed the ends together so that I had a tube. I then pinned this tube to the bottom of the hat as seen in the picture below and sewed the two together.

Step 6: I then folded over the rest of the strip and sewed the other end to the inside of the hat, this is seen in the picture below.

Step 7: Finally, I cut four slits in the hat and fed some coordinating ribbon through the holes (weaving it in and out) and tied it in a bow. The ribbon is both decorative and you can cinch it to fit your baby's head perfectly :) Since fleece doesn't fray you don't need to worry about finished off the slits that you cut.

Below is the finished product!
