Which hat to choose for your baby? Of course, soft, warm and comfortable. It’s even better if, in addition to all of the above, the baby’s hat is fashionable, bright and different from others. And where can I get such a hat? We invite you to sew a fun and bright children's hat from fleece with your own hands. After all, fleece best meets all our requirements. This is a lightweight, soft, pleasant to the touch, anti-allergenic material, synthetic “wool” made from polyester. Fleece does not absorb moisture, but passes it well. Children do not sweat in clothes made from this fabric; fleece “breathes” and retains heat perfectly.

Based on just one pattern, you can design and sew many different children's fleece hats, both for boys and girls.

Ideas for children's fleece hats

Let's look at how to sew a children's hat from fleece

For our children's hat you will need:

Hat pattern;
Gray fleece;
Pink fleece;
Fleece in blue or light blue;
Threads are black, gray, pink and blue.

We cut it from gray and black fleece, we get two parts, gray on the top of the cap and black on the inside.

Sew the front seam on the gray piece

Now we draw on paper and cut out the details of the “Face” of the bear cub on the fabric. The ears will be pink in front and gray in the back. Therefore, we cut out two pink and two gray ears.

Take a pink oval and a blue nose, pin them together and sew them together

Sew the resulting part onto the top of the hat.

Sew on the eyes

Then we start creating the Bear's ears. To do this, take the gray part and put it on the pink one, sew it together

We turn the resulting ear inside out and grind it down to 0.5 centimeters. We got two ears like this

We sew the back seam from the top 5 centimeters, insert the ears into the top seam, pin it so that they do not run away and sew the seam

We sew a pink patch near the right ear and make decorative black seams. Sew up the back seam. The top of the hat is ready. All that remains is to make the inside and ties. Take the black piece of the hat, sew the front and back seams, and then the top seam. Now we cut out rectangles measuring 20*3 centimeters.

Fold them in half, sew them together and turn them inside out. We got ties. We sew the black and gray parts together, not forgetting to insert the ties and leave a small slit for turning inside out. They sewed it, turned it inside out, and sewed up the opening. The result is a hat.

Older children or teenagers will really like this hat. I saw this hat with ears on the Etsy website.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a pattern for this hat, but there is a diagram. If you wish, you can carefully examine the caps and repeat. Please note that the ears on the hat are one-piece with the back of the hat, and are not sewn in, as in the example above.

How to sew a baby fleece hat

As a basis for a hat with ears, you can take a pattern like this:

Hello friends!

Any mother wants her child to be dressed not only warmly, but also beautifully in cool weather. It’s easier for a mother who knows how to sew. For example, she can easily sew a hat for a child or a teenager herself.

Today we will look at a master class on sewing an unusual headdress for a child and answer the question - How to sew a baby hat with ears. They are sometimes called animal caps.

Among the many models of similar hats, there is one of a very simple cut. Sews easily and quickly.

Let's look at the cut and sewing of a hat with ears in detail. If you have any suggestions for other models, write in the comments or by email.

So, let's start sewing a children's hat with ears.

You will need:

A piece of material approx. length. 55 cm;
Threads matching the color;
Chalk/soap for marking;
Centimeter tape;
Ruler;
Pins;
Scissors;
Sewing machine;
Iron;
30-40 minutes of free time.

What material is suitable for sewing a hat?

To prevent the hat from causing discomfort when worn, make it from stretchable material. Thin or medium-weight knitwear is perfect, for example, footer, ribana, children's knitwear, fleece, etc.

You can sew a hat from a suitable knitted T-shirt or jumper that has served its intended purpose, if the child has grown up and the item is still in good condition. You can give a second life. Just pre-wash and iron.

Note: It is advisable to make a pattern, taking into account the stretch coefficient of the selected fabric.I'll tell you how below.

Hat pattern and required measurements

The model is very simple, so any child’s hat can serve as a pattern.

If it turns out that there are no hats of the required size, take two measurements:

Head circumference Og (1);
Cap depth Gsh (2).

Please note– measurements are taken and recorded in the whole size, not in half, as often happens when taking other measurements from a figure.

What is the elongation coefficient for and how to find it

To draw a pattern taking into account the properties of the selected material and the size of the child, we determine the stretch coefficient of the fabric.

To do this, place marks on the canvas between a 10 cm section.

And stretch the material.

Record the resulting stretch value.

Let's say that from the original 10 cm the stretch was 2.5 cm = 12.5 cm.

Divide 10 by 12.5 = 0.8

0.8 – tensile coefficient for this fabric.

IMPORTANT! We stretch without fanaticism. Remember - the harder you pull the fabric, the tighter the hat will fit and squeeze the child’s head. We don't need discomfort!

Multiply the resulting measurement of head circumference by 0.8

For example, Og - 56 x 0.8 = 44.8

Useful information:

For more information on how to determine the elongation coefficient,

Draw a pattern and cut a hat with ears

On a piece of paper, draw a rectangle, with one side equal to 1/2 the measurement of the head circumference (taking into account the coefficient), and the other side equal to the measurement of 1/2 the depth of the cap.

Then round the corners as shown.

Note: If you doubt the measurements and calculations, you can cut out the blank, try it on, make clarifications and make a cut on the main fabric.

Hat pattern first:

Refined pattern

I specially divided it into sections so that the difference could be seen. I narrowed it a little at the top, it’s more comfortable and beautiful.

Lifehack
To make the hat pattern piece even on both sides:

First, trace the pattern in full size;
Mark the middle of the part;
Fold half of the pattern exactly along the line;
Trace along the contour of the other half;
Cut out the pattern.

We will sew a hat with ears. Therefore, we cut out additional details.

Which animal do you like best - Cat, Teddy Bear, Fox, Wolf? We select and draw the “ears” of the desired animal. You will get an unusual “animal” hat. Can be decorated with suitable applique or embroidery.

My hat has cat ears. Meow…

The result is a hat pattern:

The base of the hat is 1 piece with a fold;

“Ears” - 4 parts.

Uncover

Fold the material in two layers - the hat will be denser, warmer, and the seam will be hidden inside. Don’t forget to mark the location points for the “ear” parts.

For a cap with a lapel, step back from the fold at the bottom by the desired amount, approximately 2.5 - 3.5 cm.

Note: We will consider cutting and sewing an interesting model of a cap with a lapel in the next issues. I recommend not to miss new publications.

Looking ahead, I’ll show you a photo of the resulting hat.

If you change the design a little, it will suit even a teenager.

We outline the fold line. You can add a basting stitch.

After cutting, an oval-shaped workpiece is obtained.

Note: For marking, I use a self-disappearing marker. Convenient tool. The drawn line disappears after a few hours. Typically, such markers or pencils are sold in “handicraft” stores or sewing equipment stores.

It lasts a long time - mine is 3 years old, it’s like new. The main thing is not to heat the markings, otherwise they will remain for a long time.

Sewing a hat

Sewing a hat is very simple:

Checking the evenness of the cutting;
We fold the parts of the “ears” face to face, grind along the contour, turn them inside out;
According to the markings, we lay out the parts of the “ears”, baste or pin them;

We chop off or crease the parts along the contour, leaving an open area for turning.

We sew a line along the cuts using a sewing machine or overlocker (if you have one).

In this case, I use a special needle with a rounded tip (so as not to tear the fibers) and an elastic stitch for knitwear. A zigzag stitch works well, and even a straight stitch if you set them to a minimum pitch.

After stitching the parts, carefully iron along the seam.
Cut off excess allowances.
Turn it inside out.

We sew up the open area by hand using blind stitches or using a sewing machine.
By placing one part of the part into the other, we form a cap.

The hat is ready. If there is any material left, make a scarf.

You can decorate the model with applique or paint the hat with special paints or markers.

Useful information:

The resulting model is demonstrated by my son Ivan.

Well, okay, mom, even though it’s a child’s hat, it’s a cool color...

Prepared by Maryana Chornovil

Recently, jewelry with ears a la cat, tiger, panther and others have become very fashionable. Such hair decorations are sold in accessory stores from a wide variety of materials. But you and I don’t have to run to the store for such an accessory, because we can create it ourselves. So run to the store for materials, and we will prepare some interesting master classes for you.

The most fashionable option is cat ears

So, how to make a headband with ears with your own hands and what you need for this:

regular headband;
wire;
beads;
glue;
pieces of black satin or leather.

The main emphasis is on the wire. From it we need to make a frame for two identical ears. It should look something like this:

Now, using glue, we need to attach the beads to our blanks. They can be distributed evenly, you can completely cover the entire wire, or partially, everything to your taste.

After this, the wire must be carefully and symmetrically glued to the base and covered with tape or leather at the joints. Use quick-drying glue or a glue gun.

This should be a playful accessory for your head.

Using exactly the same scheme, you can create a decoration with openwork or soft fluffy triangles. In this case, instead of beads, you will need to cover the frame with material and carefully glue or hem it. You don’t need a special pattern for this, just sew the eyelet to the size of the frame and put it on the workpiece. It will look something like this:

You will get a fur headband in this form; in addition, you can decorate it with various bows, beads and ribbons:

Ears using a pattern

To create these ears on the rim, we need almost the same set as in the previous one:

plastic base;
material: fur, satin, cotton fabric, denim;
thread and needle;
glue;
satin ribbon;
scissors.

First, let's wrap our blank in satin flight material. So, it will look more neat and interesting. Wrap the tape overlapping and secure each layer with glue:

Now, using a pattern, we will prepare triangles from the material you selected. The pattern will look something like this:

You can use cardboard as the base for our blanks, or you can fill them with foam rubber or cotton wool; even a piece of dishwashing sponge will do.

The ears need to be sewn separately and only then attached with glue. You can also use a thread and a needle, depending on how heavy they are and what type of fastening will support them. The accessory is ready!

Cat ears on combs

This type of hair decoration on combs looks very interesting and original. So, how to make cat ears on combs and what we need:

wire;
multi-colored beads;
scallops;
glue.

We need to create two triangles from the wire, onto which we will string prepared beads; these can also be pearls or just a satin ribbon that can be used to wrap the wire.

The triangles should still have edges that you can use to hook them onto the scallops. Use glue to secure the beads and each ear.

Your cat decoration is ready. Things to do for a couple of minutes, but beauty and joy for the whole day!

Headband with veil

Such decoration will add mystery to the image, sexuality and romance, and is very easy to do. So, how to make a headband with cat ears and a veil:

prepare a familiar decoration as a base;
black lace;
threads with a needle;
wire;
mesh for veil.

If the base is black and looks good, then you don’t need to wrap it with satin ribbon; if you want the product to look finished, then wrap it for beauty.

Now twist two cat ears from wire and cut them out of lace according to their size.

They will need to be sewn to the wire, and very carefully so that the accessory does not have a wrong side.

After you have finished with the stage of attaching the “locators” to the rim, you can proceed to the final stage - attaching the veil. Simply cut a rectangle of the required size and stitch it to the base. You will get this beauty:

Oh, how fashion models and stars love such accessories. And it really looks very interesting!

We invite you to watch another master class - a headband with ears to consolidate the result:

DIY cat ears are a very bright and interesting addition to the carnival image of a cat. In childhood, almost all children love to transform into various animals, but it is the image of a cat that is most in demand and loved. Therefore, if your child wants to become this mysterious animal for the New Year or just came up with a fantastic role-playing game with the image of a cat, give him cat ears on a headband or on an elastic bandage, we are sure that the child will simply be delighted.

How to make cat ears with your own hands

Using the same principle, you can make cat ears on a headband, but we didn’t have any on hand and decided to make a master class on making cat ears on an elastic bandage. And as it turned out, on the headband the ears do not fly off and stay on more securely; most likely, this would be difficult to achieve on a hoop.

To sew cat ears you need the following:

made of paper in natural size;
elastic fabric of the main color (black is used in MK);
small pieces of fabric for the inside of the ears of a different color (white in MK)
thread, needle and scissors.

And now everything step by step with photos

We cut out the ears from paper and transfer them to fabric using chalk or a bar of soap.

We make 4 large blanks from black fabric and 2 smaller ones from white.

We sew the white blanks to the black ones and carefully stitch the parts along the outside.

We stuff them with padding polyester or cotton wool.

We make a bandage of the desired width that will hold the ears. The main thing is to make room for seams and correctly calculate the length of the bandage so that it does not squeeze the child’s head and does not fall off. You can also use a headband covered with the same fabric.

Sew the ears to the headband and...

... sew the bandage.

So, together with you, we sewed cat ears for the child. We can enjoy the result and admire our cute cat.

The child completely fits into the character :)

And then all his toys.

It is very popular; not a single costume party is complete without it. The most important attribute of the image is cat ears. This detail is the most popular and is traditionally associated with a cat. In this article we will tell you several ways to make cat ears with your own hands.

Option 1: Cardboard ears

Following our instructions, you will make cat ears quickly and easily. To do this you need to get: a head hoop, ribbon and cardboard. You just need to wrap the hoop, cut out the ears and glue them on.

Choose a color. What color cat would you like to dress up as? Depending on this, you need to select tape and cardboard - white, gray, red or black.

Wrap the headband with ribbon.

That's it. Wait for the glue to dry and adjust the ears slightly if necessary. Congratulations! You made your own cat ears on the headband.

Option 2: Pin ears

On a piece of foam plastic, draw future triangular-shaped ears.

To keep the lines straight, use a ruler. Your ears can be any size, as long as they are the same size.

Cut it out. Whenever possible, point the scissors toward the outside of the strips.

Now you need to make a triangle of wool or feathers with your own hands, 1-2 cm larger than the cat’s ears.

We make another triangle of the same size for the second ear.

Let your ears dry. This will take about an hour.

Put on your cat ears and enjoy!

Option 3: DIY fluffy cat ears

Make ears from artificial wool, just like a cat's!

The triangle shape is the simplest. If you have the strength and patience, you can make the ends rounded, but this will make it more difficult to work with the ears. Or look at photos of cats and make the ears the same shape.

What is needed for production

Cardboard ears:

Cardboard of the selected color

Wide tape

Glitter (optional)

Cat ear clips:

Foam plastic

Felt pens (optional)

Ruler (may not be used)

Resolving this situation is actually not at all difficult - if desired, many carnival accessories can be made with your own hands. - a headband with ears, an adornment that, in combination with make-up and make-up, can replace a full-fledged costume.

Required materials and tools

Also prepare pieces of fabric, fur and decorative elements - beads, rhinestones. You can make a headband with ears from cardboard, but then your craft will most likely be disposable. To keep the textile ears in the correct position, prepare a wire of medium thickness. To create such an accessory, you can use completely non-standard materials, such as leather, suede or its substitute. Accordingly, you will need the following tools: wire cutters, scissors, a needle and thread in the color of the selected fabric.

Headbands with cardboard ears

If you don’t know how to sew, or you need to make an element of a carnival costume very quickly, you can use cardboard or very durable colored paper. Draw ears of the desired size and shape on paper. Transfer the template to the cardboard and make an allowance at the bottom of about 1 cm. Cut out the finished ears (two parts for one - front and back), glue the blanks together. The excess strip of cardboard (allowance) must be folded outward. When the glue dries, the finished ears can be glued to the headband so that their tips point upward. Wait until it dries completely and your masquerade accessory is ready. You can improve and make such a headband with ears more interesting by decorating the base - wrap it with ribbon or cover it with fur. The ears themselves can be made two-color using the appliqué technique, or decorated with rhinestones and beads.

The cat costume is often tried on not only by little girls, but also by adult women. What’s especially nice is that you can make it yourself very quickly and easily. Prepare small pieces of fur or fabric and a base. How to make a headband with cat ears? Everything is very simple: you need to cut out 4 triangles from the selected material. Next, sew them in pairs on both sides and turn them inside out. If the ears are small, it is enough to stuff them with padding polyester or other filler, and they will keep their shape. After stuffing, put the finished elements on the headband and sew them at the bottom, thus securing them to the base. If the ears are large enough, you can strengthen them with a wire frame. An interesting idea is to make the triangles two-color. You can also use a combination of fur and smooth material, imitating a real cat's ear. The base can also be wrapped in matching fabric. A headband with cat ears can become the basis for an entire costume. Sew a ponytail with an elastic band and fur mittens or bracelets on your hands - and you are ready to go to the party.

Making one accessory will take you no more than half an hour, but the result will definitely please all family members. Using the technique described above, you can transform yourself for every matinee, masquerade or home party. A headband with ears is not only a children's accessory, but also an excellent solution for adult costume events. Show your imagination, try to make animals such as a deer or a cow - cutting out antlers is not at all difficult from thick fabric like fleece.

Lace bunny ears
