My Other Martha Hat (no I'm not Martha obsessed)

So I made the "jester hat" for my older daughter but for my younger one (who can't make her own decisions) it will be a simple standard 1 pom-pom hat.

As I mentioned in my 1st post. These hats are both taken straight from Martha Stewart's website. The link is here if you would just rather look there. I am using the Solid color hat pattern and there are no mistakes that I found in this pattern (unlike the jester hat where I did find she missed one step).

So what did I need:
Fleece (not much but I bought a yard and could make many)
Matching thread
Pins
Sewing machine (or lots of patience)
Tape measure
Scissors

Step 1: Cutting
I did measure my child's head to know what size to make. K is almost 1 so I wasn't sure if I should use the 6-12 Month size or the 1-3 years size. I went with the larger size of the 6-12 and use 19".

If you are measuring instead of using the given measurements then please add 1/2" to the measurement for the seam allowance.

Cut one piece the width of the head you are fitting (or use Martha's size suggestions), by the length of 10 for a child and 13 for an adult hat.

My piece was 19x10

Step 2: Sewing

All but one section turned up 3" and under 1/4"

1. Pin the long side  (though mine is actually the short side but it is the side of the length of the hat) with right sides together.
2. Sew up the side a 1/4" seam allowance
3. Trim very close to the seam
4. Turn up the hat (to make the cuff) 3" then under turn 1/4" (so no raw edges are showing.)
5. Pin and sew very close the the hem of the cuff.
6. Now pin and sew the top of the hat with a 1/4" seam.

Step 3: Finishing
1. Turn hat right side out.
2. With a needle and thread sew the two corners of the hat together  at the top of the hat.

Step 4: Pom Pom
1. Cut a piece of fleece about 4"x24" (for a large pom pom I used about 17" for a little smaller pom pom)
2. Fold the strip in half width wise and cut frays into the fleece.

3. Roll the fleece.

4. Sew it together by putting the needle through from one side to the other then wrap the thread around the pom pom a few times and re thread the needle through the pom pom.

5. Attach the pom pom to the top of the hat.

Here is your finished hat (actually this is my hat but yours is done now too).
