Hat tutorial

Hey everyone. I said that I would make a hat tutorial in one of the threads, so here it is! The measurement is for a 27" head. You can also change the ears. If you don't know how to make ears, I can also post up something for that as well.

Well, here is the tutorial! The hat is going to demoipourvous! I hope she likes it. ^^

Hope I like it? You're kidding, right? I'm in...love, love, love, love, love, love! Gimme!

Ooh and thanks for the tutorial. I wonder though, what type of fabric do you use? When I make one, I was hoping to use the same material that's used for baby blankets. It's some sort of fleece I think...Ahh...need to do research.

I use polar fleece

It's very soft and warm.

Awesome! Thank you, I was actually looking for a good tutorial for this ^__^

I was using fleece, but you can use any fabric for hats. As long as it stretches...

ugghh.why am i spelling every thing wrong today!!>< sorry if that didnt make sence ^^;; i just kinda spelled it wrong. it was mini.like for a doll.

Lol oh. xD Ok, that shouldn't be too hard. It would basically be the same pattern, you just want to measure the dolls head around and the dolls head from the brow line (usually where hats start) to the crowning of the head.

I don't have anything of the similar size, so I might not be able to make an accurate pattern for the doll.

An easy way is to take a screen capture of the pattern on the tutorial and print it out. X3 If that's roughly the same size of your dolls head, or size it so that it will be the same size.

thanks for your help!!that helped a ton!!just one question, in pic on what are the sizes of the pattern??

Around the head is 27 inches, from the brow to the crown, I'm not sure. I forget what it was, but it should be around 7 inches.

a BUNNY HAT! I've been looking for something like that, thank you SO much for taking the time to make this tutorial! ^_^

I've started a begin of the hat.
But I have some questions:
Does the hat MUST have a pointy end (there above)?
Where do you have to sew the ears? In the top or like in the middle of the hat?
