How to sew a hat for a child with your own hands quickly?
A master class with step-by-step photos will teach you this. You can use fleece or jersey to do this. Then you will decorate the hat with flowers, embroidery or applique.
Take:
- knitted fabric that stretches well, measuring 1.5 m by 30 cm;
- threads;
- pins;
- decor elements for a headdress.
The hat will be two-layer. Look at the pattern of the knitted hat.
It is suitable for a child whose head volume is 48 cm. It will be necessary to add 1 cm seam allowances for the upper, middle and lower cut. On the wedges, they will be 7 mm.
Determine where the front and back sides are. You need to cut the hat on the wrong side. Place the pattern on this side, circle and cut with a seam allowance.
First, you will need to sew the upper wedges, then fold the cap in half and pin the sidewalls with pins.
Then sew on the side of this piece. After that, you will need to cut out the inner part of the cap from the same material and sew it, but for now, leave the sidewall unsewn. You have two halves of the headdress.
Place one inside the other and fold them right-side up. Pin at the bottom and sew along this edge.
A knitted hat pattern will help you create a hat that fits your head. Turn these parts through the remaining unsewn sidewall so that they are right side out.
Now you can close this gap with a blind seam. The headdress for the child is ready. Next comes the creative process. You can already take ready-made embroideries and sew them on. And if these are drawings of thermal application, then they are glued with a heated iron.
If you wish, make flowers from satin ribbons and sew them onto the headpiece. You can also use stylish stickers to make the item look branded.

How to sew a knitted hat with ears for a child?
This is suitable not only for a girl, but also for a boy. You can sew a similar hat not only from new fabric, but also from old knitted items that are small for a child. Open one of these and iron it.
This is what the front of such a product looks like. You can see that you need to draw a straight line at the top in order to then cut off the uneven edge along this marking and trim it.
To sew a hat for a child further, see if this part is wide enough. If not, then you can make decorative inserts, for example, where the armhole line used to be.
Sew on the missing elements, then iron them with an iron. Since the fabric is knitted, its edges must be overlocked. If you do not have one, then you can overcast the edges on your hands or using a zigzag stitch on a typewriter.
Draw with chalk where the ears will be located.
Then sew along these markings on the face. Erase the chalk lines, and then the hat is ready. You can also stick the selected sticker to it.
Here is another option that will tell you how to sew a baby hat with ears. It will turn out like this.
There will be like two pairs of ears. Some are decorative, which are at the top. There will also be ears at the bottom, they will allow the child to close the neck so that he does not blow here.
Measure your child's head to determine:
- head volume;
- diameter from crown to chin;
- face volume.
The pattern of a hat with earflaps will allow you to make accurate calculations. We need to draw the drawing grid based on these markings. The rectangle is equal in width to the half-girth of the head, 2 cm is added to this value. The height of this rectangle will be equal to the half-girth of the face plus 2 cm.
You can skip these additions if you are sewing a not very warm hat. Add key points with ABCD. Then from them you need to postpone points with the same letters, but you add the number 1 to each. Depending on what size the hat is, set aside 6 to 9 cm from point A and draw a horizontal line.
From point C, set a distance that will be equal to half the length from the base of the skull to the eyebrows. Draw a horizontal line. Now divide the resulting rectangle in half and place at the intersections A1 B1 C1 D1.
The upper squares need to be divided in half, as it was done in the photo.
Based on this pattern of a baby hat, start drawing a layout of this product. You can see how you need to circle to get the base.
Fold the fabric in half, attach the pattern to the fold, redraw and cut with a 7mm seam allowance. Cut the insulation and lining in the same way, but these parts on the sides should be 2 mm smaller than the main ones. You can make the ears under the chin longer or the same as in the pattern.
Join the edges at the cut line at the top and stitch this dart. Do the same with the back part. Draw the location of the mustache and sew along this outline.
Make the ears double, insert them into the seam between the front and back of the cap.
To make the hat fit well, you need to cut off 5 cm of linen elastic and sew it to the lower part of the back of the head, stretching it strongly.
Sew the elastic with a zigzag or regular stitch. Attach insulation to the lining and sew the two pieces together. Now you need to turn the lining on your face and put on the upper part of the cap. Pin these pieces and sew along the edge.
Turn out the hat, add the ties to it. You can sew a bow from the remnants of patches and sew on this element as a decoration. Here's how to sew a soft fleece-style baby hat with ears.

Here's how to sew a hat with earflaps further. Cut out a rectangle that is one third less than the width of the header. Place it on a base and pin it together.
At the bottom, sew close to the seam and make notches at the base of the ears so that then the fabric does not puff up here.
Unfold this blank and fold it as in the next photo.
Sew back.
Turn the hat inside out, straighten the fold and stitch on top, then trim off the excess closer to the edge.
You can already try on a hat with earflaps. First turn it inside out, then put it on the doll's head, turn the protruding corners from the sides and pin them off with pins. Then you need to thread a string into a needle with a large eyelet, sew it on one side of the cap, then make a knot and cut off the excess. Sew the string on the other side of the new thing in the same way. Here's how to sew a hat with earflaps with your own hands.
The top photo shows a hat pattern on which you will then tie 1 knot. Below it is a diagram of a headdress, on which there will then be two knots. Take:
- t-shirt;
- scissors;
- pattern;
- sewing machine.
Take a T-shirt and turn it inside out. Attach a pattern here, pin that with pins, and then cut out two parts at once.
One is located on the front and the other on the back. Do not forget to leave a 5 mm allowance. Now overlock the edges. If you do not have one, in this case, step back from the edge of 5 mm and first sew a straight line. Then sew the edges with a zigzag stitch.
When finishing the edges of knitwear, try to stretch the fabric as little as possible so that they are not wavy or too stretched.
Sew the front and back of the beanie on the sides. You will also need to cut out a rectangle from the remnants of the T-shirt, its volume is equal to the volume of the bottom of the cap.
Process the edges of this part as well. Now sew it to the bottom of the main hat, after that it remains to make a fold, tie a knot at the top. If you wish, in the same way you can sew a hat not only with one knot, but also with two.
You can also sew a simple hat from a T-shirt, which will not have any strings at the top; this one has two grooves here - on the front and back of the hat.
Cut out the pattern first, then scale it up to fit the child's head. After that, cut out two pieces for the main cap and one for the fold. The fold must be sewn on the side, then folded in half and sewn to the main part.
If you have a hat, then you can sew a hat without a pattern. Place it over your T-shirt and cut with a seam allowance.
It is necessary to cut not only the main part, but also the fold. Now fold the two parts of the cap with the right sides, sew along the edges. Connect the edges of the rectangle to form a rounded piece.
Then fold this ring in half again, but so that it becomes 2 times narrower. Then pass it inside the cap, pin off the sidewalls and sew along the edge.
