Consider the step-by-step process of making a soft, comfortable and exquisite hat with long ears. For this option, hats require a plain knit and fleece lining.

To implement the creative process, it is necessary to prepare the following materials:

• a piece of knitted fabric that has a light gray, gray or dark gray color;
• a piece of fleece, which can be light tones;
• a cord of any color that has a length of about 60-65 cm;
• matching thread color;
• scissors;
• tape measure;
• sewing machine (if it is missing, then there should be a thin needle);

We carry out preliminary calculations:

1. the size of the head circumference, or the volume of the head, is 51-52 cm;
2. the height of the cap, which is determined from the edge of the eye located below and to the upper seam, corresponds to 24.5 cm.

Important! The pattern should be tailored to your size. To do this, use a centimeter to measure the circumference of the head and the height of your product. Next, fold the selected fabric in half, attach the pattern, pin with sewing pins and cut according to the template, while leaving allowances for seams of about 0.6-0.8 mm.

How to sew a knitted hat using a do-it-yourself pattern:

• Build a pattern on paper.
• On this pattern, cut and fleece for lining.

Important! It is necessary that the fleece be 0.5-0.7 longer than the selected canvas, since it is necessary to sweep the edging out of it.

• We use a dark knitted fabric to cut 2 strips for ties. The width of the strips corresponds to 3 cm.
• Next - cut off the cord, which is about 47.5 cm.
• After that, cut the cord in half.
• Sew the strips and turn them on the front side.
• Thread the cord inside the tie.
• After this, sew the side seam, and then sequentially sew all the other seams.
• Next they need to be ironed.
• Then you need to trim the corners and sew the seams of the cap.
• After this, the remaining seams must be sewn up and ironed, with the shortest seam located in front of us.
• Similarly, stitch fleece lining.
• The front of the lining must be folded to the front of the main fabric. For convenience, you need to chop with sewing pins.
• Next, use a pencil or chalk to mark the place where the ties will be.
• With the stitches in place, grind the main fabric and cut out lining together.

Important! It is not necessary to completely sew the seam so that in the future there is the possibility of turning the product on the front side.

• At the end of the process, you should unscrew the cap on your face, and then sew a section of the product through which you turned it with a secret seam.

Important! If you sweep the edging, then the hat will look great, but you can just iron it.
