The heavens opened up and started snowing here. I thought I’d make a hat to match the weather.
Conclusion: will remake it with smaller horns and a hat body sized for my head
Materials used
- 8 inches of gray fleece (will use 9 inches of charcoal fleece next time)
- 6 inches of khaki tie-dye flannel
- black thread (will use gray thread next time)
- brown thread
- black interfacing
The progress

Basic hat body shape: a rounded triangle with a bite taken out of it

Four pieces cut out, sewn together at the holes

Two pieces of the face part cut out

The face parts sewn together
Turn out to be too big, so they were corrected on the sides
Detailing added to the hems

I love this it is so cool
Whow! Best one i’ve ever seen! Are you able to publish the patterns?
Thanks!
I don’t have a real set of patterns. I drew out what I needed on newspaper as rough patterns for the pieces. You can see what the basic cut pieces look like in the photos.
My offer still stands, $30 and i will pay for shipping too, please contact me trough email so we can work this out. I really would like to buy the hat from you because i can’t make it myself without patterns. And even if i had them, it would never look so great as yours does.
I want one!!!! Can I buy one?
Yeah i kinda want one too, but i’m totally sure i wont be able to pull it off just as perfect as you did without some patterns. God i’m rubbish.
My offer is 30$ for the one you made which is too big for your head, and ofcourse i’ll pay for shipping costs too.
Thanks for asking, I’ve replied to you on e-mail.
My boyfriend absolutely loves this. Is there any way you could send me the patterns?
