Hats with Girl Charlee Hacci Sweater Knit with Free Tutorial!
Hats, Beanies or Cold Weather Toboggan
Hats, who doesn’t love a hat in cold weather! It’s fun, fast and an easy project. This tutorial will show you how to easy it is to draft a quick pattern using your measurements and then sew together a hat for Baby, kid/tween, and adult!
I will show you how to use some necessary measurements to create a cute hat for everyone in your family! My head is 20 inches around, so I wanted to start with at least a 20 width of fabric, this will enable me to use negative ease to keep it on my head (you can always make it 1-2 inches smaller depending on the stretch of the fabric). I wanted it to be a little more of a slouchy hat, so I used 8 1/2″ to make the depth of the hat. This will allow some extra in the back of the fabric to slouch. If I wanted this to fit like a Toboggan, I would have used 6″ for the depth. You would just take the 2 1/2″ off the height of fabric and follow the same instructions using the different measurement. (Contact me if you are having any problems)
Let’s Make it!
Girl Charlee sent me this super adorable Ugly Sweater Reindeer Diamond Hacci Sweater Knit Fabric; it’s a nice weight and thicker to keep those heads toasty and warm. With this crazy cold front this year, it’s the perfect fabric to use! Even though I was given this material to make a tutorial for you all, all my thoughts are my own.
What you will need:
1/2 yard of knit fabricÂ
Paper – 20″ (horizontally) x 11 1/2″ (vertically)
Stretch, jersey
or Ballpoint Needle
Matching all-purpose polyester thread or Coats&Clarks new Eloflex
Sewing Kit
Sewing machineÂ
 All of the sewing on this project is 1/4″ seam allowance unless otherwise noted.
Instructions:
Next, you will need to him the raw edge if you prefer, just remember knit doesn’t fray so finish the raw edge how you would like!Â
I folded up 1/2 inch and zig-zag around using matching thread.Â
Tada! You are done!  Quick and easy way to make a hat for anyone in your family!



Have a wonderful weekend!!
