Gather Your Materials:
- fleece
- sewing machine
- thread
- scissors
- embroidery thread and matching hand sew needle
- optionally a cutting mat and rotary cutter
It’s time to get started!
Download the hat templates HERE and print both pages, cut around perimeter of templates and tape together following the tape markings. You only need 1/3 yard of fleece. Fold over the fleece from side to side and place the template onto the fold of the fleece, matching the templates fold line. Cut out one piece of fleece on the fold. Then follow the step-by-step picture tutorial.
Pom Pom Fleece Hat Sewing Pattern Tutorial:
- Step-by-step instructions:
- Place larger fleece in front of you with the right side of fleece facing down as well at the print direction (if applicable). Fold bottom edge up 1″, then pin and sew in place with a wide zigzag stitch or stretch stitch.
- Fold piece over to the side and pin then sew the top and side edges. Backstitch the end. Turn hat with right sides out. You only have one side seam.
- Thread your needle with a long piece of embroidery thread. Double knot one end. Now take each corner of the hat and pinch at about 2″ down from the corner and sew back and forth to form an “ear”. Double knot thread before cutting. Repeat with other corner.
- Cut 2 pieces of fleece 4×7″ and cut small strips along the long side. Cut strips at 1/2″ thick.
- Divide each cut piece of fleece strips in two stashes
- Cut both stashes in half
- Stack cut strip halves and insert needle with embroidery thread through the center of strips.
- With the thread ends, tie a tight knot. Repeat with second stack of strips
- Last step is to sew both pom poms on to the front ears of the hat where you have previously sewn them tight. Double knot the ends and trim off close to the fleece.
All done! Enjoy your new pom pom fleece hat!

I really really really want to learn to use a sewing machine. I hand sew a halloween costume once a year…that’s the extent of my craftiness in that area. It’s on the list but who knows when I’ll get to it! Thanks for linking up at #SaucySaturdays.

How do I get the patterns? I just keep getting ads for a DOc to PDF, but cannot get the patterns for the hats or legwarmers. 🙁
