Hat School - Our bestselling Winter Cloche Fleece Hat. Tutorial and Pattern.

The distinctive flattering brim makes this hat so pretty. Finish it off with a pin from your collection or make one to match. I show you how to do this too. This hat has a brim that adds depth to the hat so it is great for covering your ears and it's great for also covering hair loss. The finished hat on our website consistently gets 5-star reviews.

Materials-
About 21" long or half a meter of good quality polar fleece (the entire width of the fabric)
Woven heavy weight interfacing. I use and recommend Pellon brand Woven Sew In Interfacing, 3750111000D/SF785 White. If using non woven interfacing, I would use a light weight or medium weight. This is like the kind of interfacing in a shirt collar.
A pin you make or one that you love from your jewelry collection.
Buttons for trim are optional of course.
Tread, hot glue and scissors as well as sewing machine.
Serger suggested to finish seam edges but not required.
