Wonder Pets Hat

Beat the cold and save the day with a hat that you can make without sewing!

Supplies:
Wonder Pets Flyboat template
1/4-yd. red fleece
Small felt swatches in yellow, red, blue, gray, white, and black
Fabric scissors
Clear fabric glue

Directions:

Step 1
Cut the red fleece into a rectangle that measures 13 inches high by the width of your child's head plus 1 inch.

Step 2
Right sides together, fold the fleece in half, aligning the two 13-inch edges. Glue along the inside of these edges, stopping about 4 inches from one end. Dry thoroughly.

Step 3
Just below the glue area, snip in (perpendicular to the seam) about 1/2 inch deep.

Step 4
Turn the hat right side out. Overlap the two unglued edges. Glue in place. Let dry.

Step 5
Roll up the hat from the bottom (about three times) to create a rolled cuff.

Step 6
Print and cut out the flyboat template.

Step 7
Trace the shapes and cut the boat's body, mast, sail, topper, wheels, axles, and badge from the felt.

Step 8
When the hat is dry, place the seam at the back, and glue the flyboat pieces onto the area above the rolled cuff.

Step 9
Cut a short, narrow strip from the red fleece. Gather the top of the hat like a ponytail, and use the strip to tie it tight. Knot. Snip ends close to the knot.

Step 10
Fringe the top of the hat above the tie.
