PROCESS

[Click on images to enlarge]

	1- First you need to cut your pieces, in this picture you can see the 4 pieces for the ears and the two for the hat body. I left 1/4″of seam allowance for mine.
	2- Place the ear pieces with the right side facing in and sew around the edge.
	3- Turn the ears inside our, then fold the ends toward the center, just like the picture shows, once you have them in that shape pin them in place.
	4- Fold the hat body in half right side facing in an sew the back and the front.
	5- Repeat the previous step with the inside piece of the hat.
	6- Place the hat with the front facing towards you.
	7- Pin the hears to the body as shown the picture, ears facing down with the front facing the front of the hat.
	8- Pin the rest of the top opening so it’s easier to sew.
	9- Repeat with the inside piece, and if you want you can add ears to this too and make the hat reversible, I chose to have one side with ears and the other one without.
	10- Turn the hat inside out.
	11- Place the body pieces one inside the other with the right sides facing each other.
	12- Pin them in place for easy sewing.
	13- Sew all the way around leaving a small opening in the back.
	14- Turn the hat inside out.
	15- Pin the opening shut and topstitch all the way around the edge of the hat.
	16- After topstitching you can iron the seams so your hat is ready to warm up your baby’s hear and ears!

I am so bummed he grew out of the white hat so fast, but that’s the good part about this patterns being simple, they are fearly easy to make so I just have to make more!
