Permit's talk Fleece

Fleece is an easy fabric to use if you lot're a beginner to sewing. Hither'southward why:

• Fleece doesn't fray, which means you tin go out the edges unfinished.
• Fleece has some stretch, which makes it forgiving fit wise, only it's too stable plenty that it doesn't move around when y'all sew.

Fleece also comes in tons of pretty colors and cute prints, and then you get to savour a dainty long scan in the cloth shop deciding which one y'all want to employ!

Types of Fleece

It is worth noting that as with most fabrics, information technology's worth paying a fiddling more for quality. I generally buy fleece at Jo-Ann, which carries three kinds:

• Blizzard Fleece – least expensive and frequently goes on auction for about $3/chiliad in the autumn/winter
• Anti Pill Plush Fleece – much softer and cozier than blizzard fleece, but also more expensive. Usually on sale y'all tin go this for most $seven or $8/yard
• Luxe Fleece – this is the King of fleece and it's absolutely gorgeous. Information technology's heavier and softer than either of the other options and is my go-to for making fleece blankets

For this fleece hat and scarf set, I would recommend using Anti Pill Plush Fleece. I fabricated iii unlike sets of hats and scarves for my daughter for this post. The i on the left and in the middle beneath are made from Blizzard fleece, while the one of the right is made from Anti Pill fleece. She immediately told me the one made from Anti Pill fleece was her favorite, as it'due south much softer. Additionally, Anti Pill fleece holds upwardly much better to repeated wearable.

For a hat, you need a rectangle of fabric. Measure the kid'south head circumference; that is the width of your rectangle. Find the height for the rectangle that corresponds in the chart below.
