Newborn homecoming hat!

This hat is modeled after the one Nicholas came home in.




















First, I unfolded the bottom to see how long it was. 6"x6"




















Cut out 2 squares of fleece that are 6"x6 1/2". Make sure the stretch goes side to side.



















Round off the top corners.



















Stitch around the top. Start an stop between an 1 1/2" to 2" from the bottom. You don't have to be exact. I used extra big stitches with a contrasting thread so you can see it more easily. You will use small stitches with a matching thread, obviously.

















Turn it inside out.



















Sew up the bottom. For the first and last stitch go over it 3 or 4 times because there will be a lot of stress on those points and they need to be strong.


















Fold up the bottom and embellish.
