Cute pattern! Wish I had seen it before I headed to Idaho for the holidays. I could've whipped up a cute hat for my little one using some of the felted wool sweaters I have lying around the house. Oh well — I'll file it away for next year. Love your new haircut!

I was looking all over the Internet for a fleece hat pattern for my 15 and 10 year olds. This is perfect! Stylish enough for older kids and teens. We went to Joann's today, so they could pick out fleece for their hats. I'm going to get started on them tomorrow. Thanks so much for the tutorial! Very cute hair, too, by the way!

My wife is a quilter, and is helping a friend complete 10 quilts for Christmas presents. That produces somewhat of a scheduling problem, if I want to finish another project, This was my second sewing project. The first was a pair of pajama pants. .No, actually, the hat was the third… I got a shirt that was my XL size in the body, but had 32 in. sleeves, and my arms are 35-36 in. (NO, my knuckles don't drag on the ground!) That made a great short-sleeved shirt! I had to enlarge the basic hat pattern about 5%…unenlarged, it is a bit tight.. It is the best winter hat I have! Great tutorial; so far, I have made 3, and have enough fleece for another. Maybe I'll make one with ear flaps, for standing in the cold and snow, photographing guys in fast cars sliding around on a motocross track. What will they think of next? Men with sewing machines…do we call ourselves Seamsters.? One day, when experience is sufficient, I'd like to make myself a hooded fleece robe, but am having trouble finding a pattern in my size.

Hello Vanessa,
Happy new year !
I am french and I am a sewing beginner (I began on september 2013 with no knowledges at all). I discovered your blog at the end of december and I wanted to make your fleece hat with ear flaps. Although I do not have the sewing vocabulary in english (neither in french :P), I understand really well your explanations because they were really clear and I appreciated the step-by-step video where each step is well described.
With your advices, I bought a walking foot and it changed my life. I tried once to use fleece, and it was a disaster. Today is my first success with fleece, and I am proud of it. I will give this hat to my husband and make lots of them for me and my family.
Just would like to thank you a lot 🙂

Since coming across your tutorial and pattern for the earflap hat, I have made three, using polar fleece for the lining and felted wool for the outside. They turned out so well! It's very generous of you to offer your well articulated demonstration and pattern to the WORLD. You are helping to keep a lot of people "rockin" in very cool hats and cozy warm as well. Thank you so much!

I just finished making the fleece hat with ear flaps for my 9 yr old daughter – its so cute and she loves it! She wouldn't wear her Hanna Anderson hat anymore bc a 5th grade boy made fun of it on the bus, so I thought she might wear one if I made it. I had been looking for an easy fleece hat pattern with flaps and found your site. Your tutorial was very clear and concise. I used some fleece leftovers I received from a fellow quilt guild member; one was white with flowwers and the other light green with white polka dots (which I used for the inside). My daughter wanted pom-poms, so I made them with strips of the green/polka dot fleece and added them to the ear flaps and top of the hat, making it not exactly reversible : ) I made a simple scarf to match. I don't have a facebook account but would love to send you a photo; let me know if you have a public e-mail address and I'll send it there. Thanks!

I used this for an afternoon's project of making a Darth Vader helmet/mask for my son. It worked perfectly! I modified the ear flaps to look like the back "collar" part of Darth Vader's Helmet (it continues around the entire back of the head as a straight panel, and is sewn back on each side of the face so that it lays properly), trimmed the front of the hat to come to a point, and then sewed on and embroidered a front panel for Darth Vader's face. Having the easy to use hat measurements and sewing instructions really simplified the process. Although it doesn't look much like your fleece hat anymore, it provided the perfect base for the project.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I just recently started searching for a fleece hat pattern with ear flaps to make for the homeless in my community, you are an answer to prayer! I didn't want to take the time to create a pattern, I appreciate you have allowed us to use your pattern. Happy New Year and many blessings to you!

Thank you! I just made my first hat for charity. It goes together easily, looks great and the two sizes will fit the majority of kids. I LOVE the pattern!

Hello, I am French I hope it will translate well…
I would like to do it for the Christmas of my 2-year-old nephew who has a head circumference of 50 cm (19.685 inch). Is this the boss child will go? or do I have to make changes?
Thank you very much for your answer, it's very important to me
