I first made this hat a few years ago in pink with a pink fleece trim. Unfortunately, the pattern, found here, only covers sizes up to three years. To make this one, I simply added about a half inch to the top and back of the hat. I used basic polyester fleece for the shell and the lining is a remnant of a soft, brushed cotton fabric by Nani Iro. The trim and straps are just cotton double fold bias tape (the pattern calls for using strips of jersey ribbing, but I cannot sew with jersey to save my life!). This has to be one of my favorite hats I've made for her so far and she's such a good sport. She LOVES everything I make for her and wears it with such pride. She makes my mama heart happy!

I'm Alicia. I'm a mama to two, wife to a good man, history buff, and maker of things. Two years ago we purchased a 150 year old farmhouse on less than two acres and have since turned it into a small homestead. This blog is a journal of our daily adventures in homesteading and crafting. Thank you for visiting!
