[Handmade] Adorable Hat Ideas You’ll Want Your Baby to Wear (1–10)
baby bonnet
Here’s a baby bonnet idea recommended for those who want to make a hat to match a ceremony dress.
Using the pattern, cut two pieces—the hat’s side-and-crown section and the back section—from both the outer fabric and the lining.
Gather the lace in advance and sew it onto the outer fabric.
After sewing the outer fabric pieces together, sew the lining pieces the same way.
Attach the ties that will be tied under the chin, then sew the outer fabric and lining together to finish.
The hat’s shape provides sun protection, so it’s of course suitable for everyday use as well.
beret
Here are some handmade beret ideas that are perfect for a sophisticated look.
First, make a triangular pattern and cut eight identical pieces each from the outer fabric and the lining.
Sew the outer fabric pieces together in sets of four, attach the top embellishment, then sew everything together.
Next, leave an opening for inserting elastic and sew the lining, create a turning opening, and sew it to the outer fabric.
Add topstitching along the edge of the hat, and finally thread the elastic through to finish.
You can adjust the size by changing the length of the elastic, so try making it to fit your child’s head.
reversible hat
Here’s a handmade idea for a reversible hat that lets you enjoy two styles in one.
This design has a brim only in the front, giving it a cap-like shape.
Cut six pieces each for the main body from the outer fabric and the lining, and cut two pieces for the brim.
After sewing the main body pieces together, sew the brim pieces together as well; if the fabric is thin, use fusible interfacing.
Sew the outer and lining main pieces together, insert elastic along the edge and stitch it in place, then attach the brim.
Finally, sew on the under-chin elastic, and you’re done.

I wonder when the word “sheerness” became part of our everyday vocabulary.
It somehow has the ring of a true style pro.
A Santa hat full of that airy sheerness is lovely, isn’t it? Instead of the usual construction paper, swap in a soft plastic sheet or a colored file folder.
They’re sturdier than paper, so make sure to secure the joins firmly with double-sided or heavy-duty tape.
Add faux fur to the pom-pom at the tip and along the brim to finish.
If you can rig it so tiny bulbs light up the sheer sections, that would be perfect.
Adjust the elastic strap length by working backward from the wearer’s face size.
stylish and cute Santa hat
Cute and stylish with a swaying pom-pom! Here’s how to make a handmade Santa hat.
No sewing needed, so it’s easy! First, cut a strip of white fabric.
Use the leftover scraps to cover a foam ball, attaching them with a hot glue gun.
Glue a white string or similar to the finished ball.
Next, make the red hat, cutting it to fit the size of your head.
Attach the white fabric you cut at the beginning to the inside of the hat.
Fold the white part over, glue on some elastic, and you’re done! The pom-pom on top bounces around like a snowball and looks adorable.
Children’s Santa hat made with a sewing machine
What you’ll need are red and white felt, each 50 cm by 50 cm, and some white yarn.
First, cut the red felt into a cone to fit the size of the head.
You’ll attach a pom-pom at the tip, so trim a small opening there.
Cut the white felt to serve as the lower band of the hat, and sew the two pieces together with a sewing machine to form a cone.
Next, make a pom-pom with the yarn.
You can get a pom-pom maker at a 100-yen shop, so using one is recommended.
Turn the hat inside out and sew the pom-pom onto the tip of the hat, and you’re done! It’s also cute if you decorate it with beads or felt.
How to make a Mickey-style Santa hat
Here’s how to make a cute Mickey-like Santa hat that makes a sound.
First, cut red felt into a cone to fit the size of the head.
Since you’ll attach a pom-pom at the top, trim a small bit off the tip.
Next, stack two felt circles and sew around them, leaving a small opening.
Turn it inside out and insert a foam sheet.
Pay attention to the ear orientation and sew them onto the cone-shaped felt.
Turn the hat inside out, then use a glue gun to attach ornaments and a bell, and you’re done!
