- If you get stuck with fitting, see our favorite resources on our Pinterest Sewing Fitting Advice board.
- Your fabric needs to be a stretch/knit Great examples are textured knit, double brushed poly, athletic knit, french terry, and liverpool.
- It will need to have at least 30% stretch with good recovery to fit as it’s designed. To check how much stretch your fabric has, take a piece of fabric, and pull along its stretch. If it allows you to stretch it at least 30% longer than its original length, then it has at least 30% stretch. For example, a 2-inch piece of unstretched fabric should be able to be stretched to 2.6 inches.
- If your fabric has a 4-way stretch, you can cut the pieces with the grainline in the opposite direction to the pattern pieces.
- Faux fur can be used for the separate cuff.
- OPTIONAL Bobble – You can either buy a ready-made bobble, or if you would like to make your own you will need:
- A faux fur with a long or short pile depending on how fluffy you want the bobble to be. Approximately 0.25 yards will be sufficient for all sizes.
- You will also need a small amount of stuffing like polyfill or batting to stuff the inside. You could even use scraps of light weight fabric.
- OPTIONAL embroidery floss for securing the bobble if using faux fur.
- OR OPTIONAL Pompom – You can either buy a ready-made pompom, or if you would like to make your own:
- You could use any thickness of yarn and as much or as little as you like. The thicker your yarn or the more you use, the fuller your pompom will be.
- We used less than 1 balls/skeins of yarn in this tutorial.
- Alternatively, you can use any non-fraying fabric for the pompom (e.g., felt, fleece, lycra, fake fur, leather, yarn suiting), or use any other ribbon or trim you like.
- A great idea is to mix and match yarn colors, fabric colors or mix and match fabric with a yarn or ribbon/cord/trim!
- Thread to match.
- All-in-one Hat:
- Hat – Fabric cut 1
- OR Hat with cuff:
- Hat – Fabric cut 1
- Cuff – Fabric cut 1
- OPTIONAL Bobble – Fabric cut 1
- OR OPTIONAL Pompom – Cardboard cut 2
- Use a ball point needle of a size appropriate to your fabric when working with knits – The ball point needle has a slightly rounded tip and will prevent from damaging the fibre. Use ball point pins or clips and, if you can’t, use regular pins into the seam allowance and you should be just fine.
- Use a stretch stitch – You can use either a short and narrow zigzag or a stretch stitch (lightning bolt stitch) for construction. Test on a scrap of fabric to find which stitch and tension settings work best for you. You don’t want the fabric to pucker under your stitches.
- Your machine might have many fancy stretch stitches and you are welcome to play with them, but often the basic zigzag or stretch stitch are just right.
- Use a walking foot – Using a walking-foot is not a necessity but it is highly recommended when working on a stretchy knit. The walking-foot helps to prevent one layer of fabric from stretching out while sewing. Both layers of fabrics are fed at the same time under your needle.
- Reduce your presser foot tension – Some machines will allow you to change your presser foot tension. Check your manual to see how to reduce your presser foot tension. Reducing tension will prevent your fabric from stretching while it goes through the machine.
- Use a ball point twin-needle (double needle) for top stitching – Using a twin-needle will give you a regular double line of straight stitches on the right side and a short and stretchy zigzag on the wrong side. Alternately, if you don’t own a twin needle, you can use a medium size zigzag stitch for hemming and topstitching. I like to lengthen my stitch a little when top stitching with the twin needle. Test on a scrap of fabric to find what works best for you.
- Finishing the seams – Because knits don’t fray, it isn’t strictly necessary to finish your seams. That being said, you will achieve a more polished and durable look if you do an overcasting or zigzag stitch on your raw edges.
Project OverviewWinter Hat
Difficulty Level = Beginner
Keep your head warm with this cozy winter hat. You can sew an all-in-one hat or a separate hat and cuff. The all-in-one can be folded over to create a cuff. Finish the top with either a pompom or bobble.
Our Facebook group is a great place to get help, share your tips and creations! We are a friendly bunch, and we love to help and see what you have made.
Please read the full instructions before getting started.
Wash, dry, and press your fabric before starting your project. A bit of prep now prevents shrinking and means your garment will stay the same size you made it.
Never leave a child or baby unattended or allow to sleep in a garment made from one of our patterns with ties, snaps, buttons, or anything they could remove, choke on, or get caught on. Always use caution if you are unsure. We love our patterns, but we love your bundles of joy more!

* If you are using a narrower fabric, a directional print, or a fabric with nap you may need more.
** Make sure to wash, dry, and press all fabrics before cutting out in case they shrink.You will also need:
Tools needed are, sewing machine, pins, scissors, tape measure or ruler. Serger/overlocker is optional but not required.
Printing Your PatternSettings
The pattern is a separate download. Choose either the US letter paper, A4 paper, or A0 paper size based on the printer you wish to use. If you are in the US or Canada then your printer will likely use US letter paper. Other regions normally use A4 paper. Some people prefer to print their patterns at a print shop: A0 is best in this case.
Print at 100%.
On the second page, you will find a 1-inch and a 3-inch square test box. Print this page first, on its own, and measure these squares.
Once you are happy that the test box is accurate, print the rest of the pattern pages.
Please follow this video for information and assistance on assembling this pattern.

Cutting Checklist:
Fabric TipsTips for Sewing with Knit Fabrics
Using a serger is not a necessity to sew with knit fabrics! Here are a few tips to get the best results on a regular sewing machine:
Here is an example of some of the stitches you could use.
From left to right: Ballpoint twin-needle, narrow zigzag, stretch stitch (lightning bolt), overcasting
- + Instructions
- BACK SEAM – Fold the Hat in half right sides together, matching the back seam. Stitch.
- HAT WITH CUFF OPTION – Fold Cuff in half widthwise, right sides together, matching short edges. Stitch. Fold Cuff in half lengthwise, wrong sides together. Find and mark quarter points on Cuff and bottom edge of Hat. Place Cuff onto bottom edge of Hat, wrong side of Hat to right side of Cuff, matching seams, and quarter points. Stitch. Skip to step 4.
- ALL-IN-ONE HAT OPTION – Fold bottom edge of Hat ¼ inch to wrong side. Fold again by 4 inches. Topstitch.
- TOP EDGE – Stitch the top edge. Fold the top edge 1 inch to wrong side. Pin. Stitch together using a running stitch.
- POMPOM OPTION – Create pompom and stitch to top of Hat.
- BOBBLE OPTION – Create bobble and stitch to top of Hat.
Quick Glance Cheat Sheet⅜ inch seam allowance included – Top stitching ⅛ inch – Hem ¼ inch
Sewing –
1 . Back SeamSeam Allowance
⅜ inch seam allowance included – Top stitching ⅛ inch – Hem ¼ inch
1.1Fold the Hat in half right sides together, matching the back seam. Pin.
1.2Serge or stitch using a ⅜ inch seam allowance.
TIP – Lower the tension on your machine to prevent the fabric from stretching while sewing.
1.3If using a serger, here are two methods to finish the thread tails.
METHOD 1 – Use a wide eye needle to thread the tails back through the stitches.
METHOD 2 – Pull the threads back over the seam and stitch a few zigzag stitches over the seam allowance, securing the tails in place.
If you are making the all-in-one hat OPTION, skip to step 3. If you are making the hat with separate cuff OPTION, follow below.
2 . Hat with Cuff OPTION2.1Fold the Cuff in half widthwise, right sides together, matching short edges. Pin.
2.2Serge or stitch using a ⅜ inch seam allowance.
Your Cuff will now form a circle.
2.3Fold the Cuff in half lengthwise wrong sides together.
2.4Find and mark the quarter points.
2.5Find and mark the quarter points on the bottom edge of the Hat.
2.6Place the Cuff onto the bottom edge of the Hat, wrong side of Hat to right side of Cuff, matching seams, and quarter points.
2.7Serge or stitch using a ⅜ inch seam allowance.
Skip to step 4.
3 . All-in-one Hat OPTION3.0If you are making the all-in-one hat OPTION, follow below.
SERGER / OVERLOCKER OPTION – Serge the bottom edge of the Hat, using a ¼ inch seam allowance. Skip to step 3.2.
REGULAR SEWING MACHINE OPTION – Follow below.
3.1Fold the bottom edge of the Hat ¼ inch to the wrong side. Pin.
3.2Fold again by 4 inches. Pin.
3.3Topstitch using stretch stitch and a ⅛ seam allowance.
4 . Top Edge4.0This step is the same for both options.
4.1Serge or stitch all around the top edge.
TIP – Avoid using small zigzags as this will stretch the fabric.
NOTE – This is meant to be sewed all around. Do not close the top here.
4.2Fold the top edge 1 inch to the wrong side. Pin.
4.3The top edge will be stitched together using running stitches. Thread a needle with matching thread and tie a knot in the end of the thread.
Start from the inside of the Hat, so the knot will be invisible.
4.4Push the needle to the underside of the fabric, pulling the thread all the way through the fabric.
Moving the needle about ¼ inch forward, insert the needle from the underside of the fabric and pull the thread to the right side.
4.5Move the needle forward about ⅛ to ¼ inch and then put the needle back into the fabric at about the same distance, ⅛ to ¼ inch from where you brought the needle up.
TIP – Instead of stitching each running stitch individually, the stitches can be done more than one at a time by weaving the needle in and out of the fabric. This makes it quicker to sew.
4.6Repeat the stitches all around, finishing just before the knot where you started.
Gently pull the stitches, tightening it to form a circle. Make 3-4 stitches back and forth to secure it. Make a knot and cut your thread. It may not close completely depending on the size and fabrics you might use.
For the OPTIONAL Pompom skip to step 5, for the OPTIONAL Bobble skip to step 6.
5 . Pompom OPTION5.0If you have a store bought pompom, skip to step 5.8. If you are making your own, follow below.
5.1Place the two cardboard Pompom pieces together, matching the gaps.
5.2Starting from the outer edge next to the gap, wrap your wool around and around all the way to the other side of the gap. The more wool you wrap, the fuller your Pompom will be.
5.3Finish wrapping at the outer edge. Trim the ends of the wool.
5.4Place the Pompom on a flat surface. Holding the wool pieces in place, starting at the gap, carefully cut around the circle, in between the two layers.
5.5Cut a long piece of wool, approximately 20 inches in length, and guide it between the two pieces. Try to keep it close to the outer edge of the Pompom.
5.6Tie a loose knot on the long thread. Gently tighten it, joining the two wool pieces together.
5.7Tighten the knot tight so your Pompom will not fall apart.
Secure it with a second knot.
Pull the carboard away from the Pompom.
If you want, you can trim your Pompom edges now.
5.8Thread your big eye needle with the long yarn and hand stitch your Pompom to the top of your Hat.
Your Hat is finished!
6 . Bobble OPTION6.0If you have a store bought bobble, skip to step 6.5. If you are making your own, follow below.
6.1The Bobble will be stitched together using running stitches. Thread the needle with matching thread and tie a knot in the end of the thread.
TIP – For heavy weight fabric like fake fur it is best to use embroidery floss or thick thread (e.g., jeans / leather thread) so the fur doesn’t tear when pulling it together.
6.2Push the needle through a tiny bit of fabric on the right side of the Bobble.
Fold the fabric to the wrong side by ¼ inch.
Repeat steps 4.5 to 4.6, stitching a running stitch on the Bobble.
TIP – When using heavy weight fabric, it is easier to pull on the stitches as you sew, not just at the end.
6.3Repeat the stitches all around, finishing just before the knot.
Gently pull on the stitches, tightening it into a circle. Do not pull it too tightly as you need to add stuffing.
6.4Add some stuffing inside the Bobble. Pull your thread to close the opening.
TIP – If you do not have stuffing at home, you can use a little piece of batting torn into pieces or cut leftover fabric into really small pieces. Do not use anything too heavy as it won’t sit correctly on top of the hat.
6.5Using your thread hand stitch the Bobble to the top of your Hat.
TIP – If your bobble fabric is very thick, you may need to stitch across the opening to close it first, before attaching to the hat.
Your Hat is finished!
