Tips for Buying Fleece for the Fleece Hat Patterns

Check the remnants area of any fabric store before buying off the bolt. Often enough, you will find leftovers from bolts that are too small to leave on the bolt, out of season fleeces, fleece sections that may have a small flaw, and enough scraps to make a colorful hat or two.

Check your local thrift and consignment shops for slightly worn fleece blankets and pieces of clothing. There may be clothes and blankets that have a small worn or faded area for next to nothing. These fleece pieces can be bought and cut up to make a fleece hat. This technique with fleece items you already own can be used to make a fleece hat.

Tips for Making Fleece Hats

If you have large enough areas left after cutting out your original hat, save the larger blocks for future hats. Once you have enough large blocks of scraps left, consider making a multicolored fleece hat for the homeless, shelters for abused men and women, teen pregnancy homes, senior centers, rest homes, senior assisted living centers, or VA homes. Any of these people may appreciate a warm hat to wear during the cold months.
