What you will Need: How to Make a Combination Winter Hat and Scarf

• Pattern you can get by clicking on this link
• 1 piece of plaid flannel that measures 30 7/8″ x 21 3/4″
• 1 Piece of faux sherpa fabric that measures 30 7/8″ x 21 3/4″
• 2 Grommets
• Cording
• Sewing Machine
• Standard sewing supplies

Step 1: Print and Tape the Pattern

This pattern has 4 pages. Print them out on a printer and tape them together as shown.

Step 2: Cut the Fabrics

Fold the flannel in half short sides together. Place the pattern on the fold and cut through both layers. Unfold the flannel and place it onto the faux lamb and cut out the center opening.

Step 3: Stitch the Center Cutout

Place the pieces right sides together and pin or clip. Stitch them together just around the center cutout using a 3/8″ seam allowance. Pull the pieces apart.

Step 4: Stitch the Outside

Fold the fabric in half so that the right sides of the flannel are together and the right sides of the faux lamb are together. Stitch all the way around the outside of the fabric pieces.

Step 5: Mark the Center

Mark the center line of the bottom inside fold of the flannel and the faux lamb using a pin.

Step 6: Stitch

Place the flannel and the faux lamb right sides together matching the pins and raw edges. Pin or clip along the bottom leaving an opening in the center for turning. Stitch along the bottom using a 3/8″ seam allowance. Turn the piece right sides out through the opening you left in the bottom seam.

Step 7: Add the Grommets

Measure 1/2″ down from the bottom of the face opening along the front lower center seam and make a mark. Measure 3″ up from that mark along the face opening on both sides and make a mark on each side. Make a hole on each mark through the flannel only. Insert grommets on each side following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 8: Insert the Cording

Using a safety pin or a bodkin, insert the cording into one of the grommets and all the way around the top of the face opening and out through the grommet on the other side. Add cord stops or tie in a knot to prevent the cording from reverting back into the casing.

Step 8: Create the Casing

Stitch all the way around the face opening using a 1″ seam allowance. This will create a casing to insert the cording.
