Suggested fabrics: 

Outer fabric: Light to medium weight fabrics. A wide variety of fabrics can be used. Fabrics with a little weight to them such as corduroy, denim, felt and wool blends work best. Fabrics with a small amount of stretch (e.g. stretch corduroy) are easiest to sew, but the stretch is not vital.

Inner/lining fabric: Medium/thick, soft, warm fabrics such as sherpa, faux fur, minky or fleece. There is also the option to use a thinner fabric for some parts of the lining. Quilting cotton or microfleece are good choices.

NOTE: At least one of your fabrics needs to have some structure to it, otherwise your hat will be too floppy!

Fabric requirements:

Baby sizes: a maximum of 35 cm (3/8 yd) of each fabric.

Child sizes: a maximum of 40 cm (1/2 yd) of each fabric.

Adult sizes: a maximum of 50 cm (1/2 yd) of each fabric.

Sizing: Newborn-3 months – XL Adult. Please check the size chart.

Notions: If you would like functioning chin straps, you will need a small amount (less than 3 cm) of hook and loop tape (Velcro).
