Watch out, it's a big file!

Also see how to color fleece eyes to go on your hat. --> [link]

Pattern: [link] (also notes the size of the rectangle)

If you are one of the many people only familiar with the metric system, I'm sorry I didn't include those measurements but here is a wonderful conversion tool. --> [link]

Alright you've been waiting for it so here it is. Firstly I'd like to state that this was a big pain to make. I have no idea how others can stand to make these.

Now this is just a basic hat so you can embellish it however you want. Please don't ask me how to make anything specific; either you'll have to figure it out or buy it from me. ;)

Please don't post this anywhere, kindly leave a link instead.
Tutorial (c) me, Clearkid - For the glory of God!

Edit: OK, so I've had several people express confusion on the last step. I will attempt to clarify it here:

First sew the short edges of the band together, forming a loop. Then fold it the long way with the seam inside so you have a double thick loop. Take your main hat part and turn it inside out with the seams facing out. Turn the hat upside-down like a bowl! Now, take your double thick band with it's two raw edges facing up, and place it INSIDE the hat so that those two edges line up the the edge of the hat. Pin it together starting with the seam of the loop lined up with the back seam of you hat. Then fold it in half and pin the front, and then the sides and in-between. Then you're going to sew the tree layers together at the top. When you've finished, take out your pins and fold the brim down, and turn the hat right-side-out again to finish.

Now, that's the detailed explaination. In essence, all you're really doing in the last step, is sewing the brim to the bottom of the hat in a way that hides the seam on the inside. Hope it helps guys! If you still have questions, feel free to post them here. :D

Want to see what others have made? --> [link]

And one last thing. If you make a hat, I'd love to see it. You can post your links here. :3

That is incredibly easy to follow! You did a fabulous job with easy to follow instructions, and clear pictures~

And, if you don't like the band at the bottom like that, you could very easily put it with the wrong sides facing together, so when you turn it up, you get a nice finished edge on the bottom, with a fold-up band :D

:giggle: My kitty has a bad habit of sitting on anything I'm working on -_____-;; I think they just like being nosy...

Thanks, I'm glad it's you think it's clearly stated. I can't tell you how many times I've looked at pattens and had no clue what to do. I really tried to avoid that. ^^;

I've actually made one like that before, you have to make the triangles taller or the band wider. It uses more fleece though, and it's already doubled at the ears so I like this better. :)

Aren't they silly? I think they don't like it when you're more interested in something other than them, so they come to remind you of their existence. So of course they sit right on top of what you're doing. :XD:

If I had the materials, I would sooo use this tutorial, its so good^_^(mine would probably only be fit for a blind person so they wouldn't see the rubbish I made ^^;)

I'd like to be a vet, that'd be interesting.
I wonder how long it would take until I started shagging things
I'd shag an owl, because it can always give you eye contact
I'd shag a kitten, because there's something you actually want to cuddle after sex
:iconclearkid:
Yeah, this actually was one.
Try the fabric remnant bin, they sell small amounts of stuff at discounted prices. Or, go to a place with a coupon. One foot of fabric usually costs me about $1.50. And you don't need a fancy sewing machine to make this guy either, it lends itself well to hand sewing it just takes longer. :)
