Hi I am a beginner seamstress and I really enjoyed this whole project, I made a fleece cap for my 4 year old and she enjoyed it... thank u very much for the easy tutorial
I love this hat! Grandson announced at 9 pm that he needs a hat for school charity. I found your site and while I sewed he washed the dishes. What a lifesaver!.. The hat, not grandson.
I enjoyed your video very much, I am 62 and decided I wanted to learn how to sew. I have watched tons of videos but yours is very upbeat and moves right along. You don't get sidetracked talking about some nonsense that has nothing to do with sewing, and when you are learning you just don't need that extra chatter. I am in the process of making a fleece hat with ear flaps, I will send you a picture when I get done. Thank you
I made one with fleece inside and cotton outside. I`m not very good at sweing, so i struggled a bit, since the cotton isn`t stretch. But thanks to Vanessas very helpful video i now made a wearable and totally unique winterhat! I`m SO happy! It`s not perfect, nothing i make evr is, but this is very close and had i used two layers of fleece, like in the video i`m sure it would have been flawless; this is building my confidence and i`m so grateful; THANK YOU!
I have a large head and one of my reasons for wanting to make this hat was so that I could make it large enough. When I came to printing I selected print at 105% and 110% and selected the one where the headband fitted. All the pieces scaled up correctly and I am delighted with the result. using this method you could scale up or down to make the size of your choice.
Vanessa, you are by far the best instructor on all of the projects you put up. And everything is so easy to follow along and create on your on. Other websites sometimes takes me forever just to figure out the pattern. Ugh. I will stop here first from now on. No more wasting time. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you for doing all you do for free. I have been doing quilts and other things about 2 years. Came across a yard sale and you know you cannot pass one and I bought 3 large boxes of fabric, and lucky me. One box was full of fleece, didn't know what to use it for so I started using it on the back of dish carriers and now I will try my hand at this hat.
You are such a giving woman. Thank you for your tutorials. I’m making the Ear Flap Hat for my Grandson, Snowboarder, his wife, and their two Kiddoes all in the same colorways. I know they will love them. Thanks you, and thank you again. Jacqueline Lee Lambie
Thanks! Flannel may work but it won't have the stretch that the fleece has. So, make a sample one first and see if you need to adjust the size to accommodate it not having any stretch. Have fun!
Funny story, I made these hats a couple years ago and printing off the kids size, I accidentally used "fit to page" instead of printing at 100 percent and it turned out the PERFECT size for a baby!! I'm making my 3 month old his now, just came back to this video for a quick refresher on how to make these. Thank you so much again for the pattern and tutorial!💕
I love this hat. Grandson announces at 9 pm that he needs a hat for a charity at school. Of course all stores are closed. I found your site and downloaded this hat. What a find! Thanks, you saved grandson's butt and he did the dishes. Fair trade!
Vanessa, I have just completed 9 of these and bought another bag of fleece as I am continuing on with my Christmas list. The first ones I made without the dangles , but now I wanted to add this for the ladies so that is why I am checking back with you. I did try to post them on your Facebook page but could not figure it out. Thank you so very much for sharing your talent - it is deeply appreciated!
You are one of the better teachers, you give detail and you show us up close and I am really liking you as a teacher and I will definetly look for more ideas from you. Keep up your very good instructions, you don't leave us thinking, you tell u and show us everything, good for you.
I wanted to try this pattern for my teenage grandchildren. I didn't have any new fleece but I did have some old sweatshirts they had outgrown. I cut the pattern from the old sweatshirts and it worked great. I will be ordering some nice fleece to make these for all of the grandchildren (and a few adults). Thanks so much for this wonderful video and pattern.
I've gotta say that this pattern is great. I have literally downloaded 6 times and made 18 hats so far. I need a rotary cutter for sure. Thanks for teaching me to sew. The first time took me about two hours and now I can get two in a hour. Thank you
I can't wait to give this a try! We're gathering warm clothes for our homeless outreach clinic and I have 4yds of fleece, ready to turn into toasty warm hats 😄
nice hat good directions I've been sewing for about 37 years and I wish I had videos way back then lol. you are very clear and make it easy to sew anything you show. Thank you
your awesome nena gby & your lovely family...! Thanx for sharing your skillz! i'm a rookie on the S.Machine lol...hemming pants by hand got tiring so my aunt god bless her beautiful soul miss her dearly! enough if that...so my mother reminded me that she had my aunts Sewing Machine! & that put a big {!} after learning how to thread the S.Machine for first time two weeks ago I got addicted to it very quickly lol! this RUclips has a lot of teachers & I appreciate all of you!!! this would be my third hobby starting from my favorite of all time since I was 10 yrs old till present is Djing 2nd is wood turning & last but not least Sewing! like a fishing lure i'm HOOKED lol & thanx again for taking time from your busy schedule of being a mother & wife to teach us a diy project! I know i have a lot more to learn! so happy sewing GB & My Blessing Best Regards to you & yours!!!! CIAO!
I just made this fleece hat and it is adorable. All the hats that I've bought in the store look so weird on me but this one is terrific. It fits perfectly. I drive a city bus and it's very cold out now. I can't wait to rock my new reversible fleece hat on Monday. It's going to be the rave. Thanks Vanessa because you made this project so easy to understand. I really appreciate you. I stay up for hours watching videos on how to sew and the Crafty Gemini is one of my favorites. Please keep it coming. You inspire me.
This is the only channel I've found that's truely geared towards everyone, beginners to experts. It makes me want to sew, and I've already dont two of your infinity scarves in one afternoon. Really glad you've chosen to share your projects online with us!
Oh, Teresa! You just made my day! You watched my videos for 3.5 days! You are something else. Congrats on the new machine! You won't need much more than that to make tons of different projects. I use my simple machines more often than the others. Thanks so much for your support and for stopping by to say hi! Happy New Year! :o)
I've seen so many video's on how to make things and you are the only one that I enjoy learning from. Your clear and make it so easy to do. I have been sewing for just a short while and I've gotten alot of compliments. Thank you.
Vanessa, I love your new haircut.. It's pretty hard to work with curly hair. I have that same problem but now it's down to my mid back & i love it.. Yes sometimes i miss my loongg curly hair.. & thank u for the tutorial.. Blessings to you & your loved ones.
Really a brilliantly done video. Recently I got a great quality of fleece at the fabric store where I work at a very good price. I came to RUclips looking for fleece sewing tips as I have plan to make lounge pants and maybe some bath robes. Now I'm sure I'm going to be making some hats. Again, amazingly well done video. concise and well presented instructions.
i made your hat and a scarf to match it for my dad who has ALZ and cant wear ear muffs anymore... it turned out great the first time!!!!!!!!! thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!! merry christmas!
I have to say Thank You! you are the best teacher! I have a hard time learning from and following directions with some online/video tutorials but that is never an issue when i take your tutorials. Thank you for all the wonderful videos and the awesome things you make and teach. I am new to sewing and because of you i bought my first machine and im actually making things for my kids, friends and myself! your are truly an gem!
What a fun, quick project! I'll definitely give it a try. Your new haircut is nice, Vanessa. It's "grown up" and sophisticated. And many women, me included, would love to have your "thin" hair!
Im a beginner sewer and I was looking for a video for this hat to make for my 2year old son and came across yours. You give awesome directions and I'm definitely using this video for the hat. You definitely have a new subscriber 😊
Thank you so much! I just made my first hat EVER! Your easy step by step instructions are wonderful! Your voice is so clear and easy to listen to. Thank you again! (I feel so proud that I sewed a hat today!)
These are wonderful & go together so quickly. Thank you! Just wanted to mention that i made the child's size for a friend who wears an adult small (probably like a tween) and it fit her perfectly. So I'm going to need to reduce the size of the pattern to fit a child's head. Not being critical at all...you're so generous. Just wanted to let people know abt the sizing.
I am teaching myself to sew. I just made this hat while watching the video and I love it! Your clarity in explaining the pattern and all the tips are great and very helpful. I'm so glad I found this! Thanks so much!!
Just wanted you to know,,, I'm off to make this for my GS,,, who I CAN'T seem to find anything for other than "money" each year.... he's 26, and works with his Dad's landscaping company,,, in our MA Winter's he's in charge of the shoveling crew... he can't tell me he won't use this at some point!! Plus i'll have something to "wrap"... I remembered this from years back.. so thanks for your help... So happy for your success in the creative field.. You so deserve.. (ps.. I met Jenny Doan at the 2014 quilt retreat in Missouri.. it's something you should not miss!! :)
I've been looking for a hat like this in shops and on websites for ages but not found anything I liked, so decided to see if I could make one - and I found your video! Thank you so much for the great pattern, and the really clear tutorial.
Love your videos!!! trying out a few. Just a quick tip for everybody watching....I am a pinner!!! If it can be pinned I will pin it. I pin my fleece parallel with the edge of the fabric in a little bit from the sew line. I find the fleece does not scoot as much and you get an even seam. Thanks again for all you do!!!
How adorable is he? I want to teach my grand daughter, she just turned 4 a few days ago...am hoping she will be ready soon...love your tips with the straight lines drawn on the fabric...love your channel
Si! Me lo corte casi todo! Estaba cansad de ese pelo largo y tan dificil de mantener. No pude donar el pelo porque el largo no era suficiente. Deja ver si me lo seco a blower unos de estos dias. :o)
This was so easy to make, did it in a day! Though, if you are using less stretchy material, make sure to cut it a little bigger than recommended. Mine ended up being too small so I will probably donate it.
I love, love your hair Vanessa . . it's very cute on you. Thank you for the excellent tutorial and patterns. You made this a simple, easy fleece project and something everyone will want for winter.
Thank you SO SO much for this tut! My son has been dying for a hat like this but with no strings on it. I am a new seamstress (broad use of the term) and I really appreciate your step by step. Thanks again! You're great. Now a subscriber!
Thank you so much! This is the 1st thing I have made since I broke my arm and it was a great success!! Your pattern and instructions were so easy to follow that I made 2. 1 for my brother & 1 for my grandson. So warm and comfy. Just in time because it's 14°F here! Brrrr
Thank you, Vanessa, for this Cold Weather tute and patterns! You are so generous. I thought I might attach ears to outer hat seams. My daughter would love it! And thank you for adjusting music volume. Your hair is cute! I wish I had curly hair.
Your new haircut rocks V !!!!!!!!!!!! I printed both the adult and child, I love these. It is freezing out and we already had 2 snowstorms. Thank you for sharing this with us.
i have come to love to sew after seeing all your vidoes. i have done so much of your work. I just a new sew machine for christmas. that i love but need to learn how to use all the buttons. I am so going to try this pattern. You are a great teacher.
You look great with your knew hair cut. Your the second person I know (well, not really know personally but you know what I mean) that has cut the long locks off. And can I say that hats are very becoming to you also. I've been watching your videos for over a year now and appreciate all you do. Hope you have a very safe, happy, and healthy new year. Ana :)
Excellent tutorial video!! As a foul weather kayaker, I could really use a hat like this, so I will definitely be making one with the outside being Polartec windbloc, the inside being a wicking layer of polypropylene, and some 550 paracord and a toggle for a chinstrap to keep it on in case I need to roll, or to keep the ear pieces folded up if I need to hear better while on the water.
Thanks Vanessa, your instructions are spot on. Though I did discover that I need to get some new scissors or a cutting wheel LOL. But I now have a cosy hat to keep the wind out. I love your new hair style, gorgeous.
This is awesome!! Couldn't have come at a better time as my son (10) is currently obsessed with these type of hats! I've been looking for something I can make for him-he thinks its really cool I sew for some reason so I know he'll love it even more :-) thank you!!
Yea, just add them in between the seam line for the fabric you want to have on the outside of the hat. Sew them in just like I did the decorative yarn threads. Have fun!
I just LOVE your new hair!!!! I thought I was in the wrong place when I saw your picture. You look much younger this way. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Also LOVE your tutorials....Making the little fleece hat for my 2 year old granddaughter right now! Thank you soooo much for sharing yourself with us! You are such a great teacher.
Your hair looks sensational! I swear it took 5 years off your look (not that you looked old to begin with, understand) ;) Thanks for the pattern & the tutorial, as always!
I love your tutorials...you explain things very well and make things easy. I am digging out my fleece now to make these for my sons for Christmas...thank you!
Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial. I needed a hat to sleep in to keep my hair down. Since my head is a little bigger than most, I modded the pattern to fit it. Mine has a satin inside, fish fins, eyes and a mouth on it. This was a fun project! Thanks for sharing.
Hello Vanessa, i hope you are well. I am one of the lucky ones to have found your tutorial and made a hat today. I love it and will be making for friends,family and maybe friends of friends. I wanted to say thank you for this pattern being free. I might not know you personally however i send this message with love and joy.
Thank you fir the free patterns. I enjoy watching your tutorials. I like your new hair cut. Goes great with your peppy personality! Hope you keep up with the tutorials.
Thanx for the great video. Easy to follow and clear instructions. I made the 'child' size and it is VERY small. It barely fit my 2 yr old. I'll try the 'adult' today. looking forward to trying more.
A bit late to the game - but have to say - what a great tutorial! VERY helpful. Ended making a blue plaid fleece and light gray combo. AMAZING! Thank you!
i made it!! i actually did it and it worked. it's the first thing i've ever sewn
Natalie South Park fandom be like:
Funny thing is I think I have a good idea what you did it for and I’m doing the same lol
Me too!!!!
I made this today. Added a brim to protect my glasses from rain. Made it from neoshell - breathable, waterproof fabric. Thanks for the pattern.

David Alexander brilliant! I have the opposite issue, between the child and adult size.

Other websites sometimes takes me forever just to figure out the pattern. Ugh. I will stop here first from now on. No more wasting time. Thank you for what you do.
Just made this with my 10-year old daughter. We had a blast and it came out perfect. All her friends want her to make them one! Thanks so much!

You're a natural teacher - your projects are always easy for the novice to understand. Keep them coming!
Glad to help! I bet you can whip it up in no time.. just follow the vid step-by-step. Same to you!

Made my wife a fringe fleece hat but she
liked the ear flaps idea! So I've downloaded your patterns. So easy. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for this free pattern. Our church is making care packs for homeless people and this will come in handy. Blessings

Thank you for the videos. You do a great job. Started sewing again after 30 years and you explain everything very well.
Just bought some orange fleece to make a hat to wear for walks during hunting season--your hat pattern is perfect and great tutorial!
oh my gosh he is super cute...It will be neat to see how far he has come a year from now :)
Si! Me lo corte casi todo! Estaba cansad de ese pelo largo y tan dificil de mantener. No pude donar el pelo porque el largo no era suficiente. Deja ver si me lo seco a blower unos de estos dias. :o)
My mom is obbsesed with this hat thing so far she has made about 5 hats thx for letting me have time without her yelling at me!
I'm going to make a few of these for my commercial fisherman boyfriend- he's out in SE Alaska right now! Thanks! These look terrific :)
This was so easy to make, did it in a day! Though, if you are using less stretchy material, make sure to cut it a little bigger than recommended. Mine ended up being too small so I will probably donate it.
Love the new hair cut. It looks fresh and healthy. Really like the hat idea. Will have to make it for my family. Thank you for uploading this project.
I made this for my little sister for a costume she and I are doing. (Nepeta Lejion from Homestuck) Thank you so much!

First time sewer, like literally today. And i did this and it came out great. Thanks so much. Great tutorial.
Thank you so much! This is the 1st thing I have made since I broke my arm and it was a great success!! Your pattern and instructions were so easy to follow that I made 2. 1 for my brother & 1 for my grandson. So warm and comfy. Just in time because it's 14°F here! Brrrr
Love your Hair and you are one of the best instructors on the internet. Thank you
Thank you, Vanessa, for this Cold Weather tute and patterns! You are so generous.
I thought I might attach ears to outer hat seams. My daughter would love it!
And thank you for adjusting music volume.
Your hair is cute!
I wish I had curly hair.
Your new haircut rocks V !!!!!!!!!!!! I printed both the adult and child, I love these. It is freezing out and we already had 2 snowstorms. Thank you for sharing this with us.
hmmm. weird. Not sure what caused it. But yea, play around with those settings and you'll be good! Happy sewing!
Just to let you know that I just made a buffalo check hat today, love your pattern & video.
i have come to love to sew after seeing all your vidoes. i have done so much of your work. I just a new sew machine for christmas. that i love but need to learn how to use all the buttons. I am so going to try this pattern. You are a great teacher.
I have been looking for this type of pattern for forever. You are a great teacher and I love the "Pretty side to Pretty side". You hair looks amazing.
you make everything look easy.....to the point that is what I like about your show...
You look great with your knew hair cut. Your the second person I know (well, not really know personally but you know what I mean) that has cut the long locks off. And can I say that hats are very becoming to you also. I've been watching your videos for over a year now and appreciate all you do. Hope you have a very safe, happy, and healthy new year.
Ana :)
Excellent tutorial video!!
As a foul weather kayaker, I could really use a hat like this, so I will definitely be making one with the outside being Polartec windbloc, the inside being a wicking layer of polypropylene, and some 550 paracord and a toggle for a chinstrap to keep it on in case I need to roll, or to keep the ear pieces folded up if I need to hear better while on the water.
Thanks Vanessa, your instructions are spot on. Though I did discover that I need to get some new scissors or a cutting wheel LOL. But I now have a cosy hat to keep the wind out. I love your new hair style, gorgeous.
This is awesome!! Couldn't have come at a better time as my son (10) is currently obsessed with these type of hats! I've been looking for something I can make for him-he thinks its really cool I sew for some reason so I know he'll love it even more :-) thank you!!
what a great video tutorial! perfect...and I'm an experienced sewer. I love your term, "pretty side..." ...it's perfect for new learners.
Your tutorials make me want to try to make more things than I have time and fabric to make! You're instructions are the best!
Yea, just add them in between the seam line for the fabric you want to have on the outside of the hat. Sew them in just like I did the decorative yarn threads. Have fun!
I'm making this for a costume and this tutorial is absolutely perfect for it, thank you so much
I just LOVE your new hair!!!! I thought I was in the wrong place when I saw your picture. You look much younger this way. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
Also LOVE your tutorials....Making the little fleece hat for my 2 year old granddaughter right now! Thank you soooo much for sharing yourself with us! You are such a great teacher.
Your hair looks sensational! I swear it took 5 years off your look (not that you looked old to begin with, understand) ;) Thanks for the pattern & the tutorial, as always!
Love it....I made a giraffe print hat with matching scarf...thank you very much for all your tutorials...I have learned so much from you!
I love your tutorials...you explain things very well and make things easy. I am digging out my fleece now to make these for my sons for Christmas...thank you!
I really appreciate your videos. You fully explain everything in simple ways for anyone to understand. Thank you!
I am so excited for this. I made reading pillow out of fleece, now I will make hats with scraps, love your channel!
So cute can’t believe it’s already been 8 years. I’m making them again. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial. I needed a hat to sleep in to keep my hair down. Since my head is a little bigger than most, I modded the pattern to fit it. Mine has a satin inside, fish fins, eyes and a mouth on it. This was a fun project! Thanks for sharing.
Hello Vanessa, i hope you are well. I am one of the lucky ones to have found your tutorial and made a hat today. I love it and will be making for friends,family and maybe friends of friends. I wanted to say thank you for this pattern being free. I might not know you personally however i send this message with love and joy.
You have been so helpful with your video. normally I can watch anybody do something and do it myself. You explained this very well
Again thank you.
Thank you fir the free patterns. I enjoy watching your tutorials. I like your new hair cut. Goes great with your peppy personality! Hope you keep up with the tutorials.
Thanx for the great video. Easy to follow and clear instructions. I made the 'child' size and it is VERY small. It barely fit my 2 yr old. I'll try the 'adult' today. looking forward to trying more.
Be sure you are printing at 100% and not "fit to page" settings. My kids have a lot of hair and it fit them fine.
yup I even measured the little 1 inch box. Maybe the fleece wasn't as stretchy. I'll try again today.
thx

Weird. Maybe the type of fleece. Have fun making the next one!
These make nice gifts for your doctors and his staff, teachers, etc.
It's that time of the year again. I just made two. Thank you Vanessa
This pattern and tutorial is amazing. I've made several of these and gifted them to friends. Thank you Vanessa!
I think your tutorials are great! I just made my first fleece hat with ear flap and I'm quite pleased with it. More to come. Thanks Crafty Gemini!
Vanessa you are the best instructor going, I mean that you are the best, keep it up.
A bit late to the game - but have to say - what a great tutorial! VERY helpful. Ended making a blue plaid fleece and light gray combo. AMAZING! Thank you!
Just got some cute fleece to make my son a hat. Looks like this will be perfect. Thanks for explaining the pattern.
this hair style looks really cute on you.
Excellent tutorial and easy access to pattern which I used to whip up for my grandson's Halloween costume as an aviator hat.
