“Pretty in Pink” Felt Baby Hat

Kunin Baby Pink Hat Photo 1

A couple weeks before Valentine’s Day I would always create a special box to put little gifts in. We would then have a special Valentine supper and open the box. The tradition continues with the grandlittles. I made this sweet hat for baby Lucy. Now she has had a sneak peek as I had to try it on her. She is six months old and it fit perfectly.

This is a very simple sewing project with only two seams. It could be completely stitched by hand. I added some die cut flower embellishments with a few simple hand stitches. Our Eco-fi Plus Premiumfelt is soft and a heavier weight ideal for making cute little hats and other things!

You will need:

  • 18” x 22” craft cut Kunin Eco-Fi Plus™ Premiumfelt™, Candy Pink
  • 9” x 12” craft cuts Kunin Eco-Fi™ Classicfelt™, 1 Pink, 1 White
  • 1 yard Ribbon
  • 1 skein Pink embroidery floss
  • 2 Pink buttons
  • Flower Die and Big Shot by Sizzix
  • Scissors, ruler, paper, pencil, pins, needle, (optional sewing machine and matching thread)

3. Sew or hand stitch this side. Remove pins and pin second side. Sew in same direction. (On smaller projects it is often easier to sew one side and then the other without pins in the way.

4. Blanket stitch around entire hat with pink floss.

5. Layer two sets of flower die cuts with button in center and hand stitch with floss.

6. Cut ribbon in half. Place at corners of hat bottom. Stitch in place. Add flower embellishments over top of ribbon and stitch in place.
