1 Hour FABULOUS FLEECE HAT - THE EASIEST and BEST Tutorial

I wanted to make a fleece hat (for me not the dog LOL) to match my dog, Julia's coat that I made for her so I went to YouTube for instruction. I watched several good videos and made my first hat. I took something from each video, and developed my own way of making them that really is easy, quick and hassle free. I put my own spin on it and this is what I came up with... a super quick and easy way to make gorgeous, plush, warm hats. Here in Canada we call them tuques. Great for gifts or selling at craft shows. I love all of the color choices so I now own 4! Someone stop me!

STEP #1 NOTE:
**I MADE AN ERROR...you add 1" to your circumference measurement for a 1/2" seam allowance. A 22" measurement will be 23" w/a 1/2" seam allowance. I'm sorry for that.**

UPDATE!!! I am now using a WALKING FOOT and it works out beautifully, especially for the top stitching.

Here is general info for sizing if you are unable to take measurements:

Average Head Sizes
Newborn (6 months and younger)
Circumference: 14 to 17 inches
Crown: 8 to 10 inches
