Sew Adorable Cuddle Buddies Hats and Scarves

Sew Adorable Cuddle Buddies Hats and Scarves

Sew an adorable animal hat from fleece! If your next sewing project includes a cute critter face, look no further! These easy, yet artistic sewing projects will find their way onto your to-do list. They are irresistable! Have we piqued your interest? Our goal is that you’ll be inspired to create hat and scarf creations for kids, called Cuddle Buddies Hats and Scarves designed by Sewing With Nancy team member, Donna Fenske.

Basic Construction

Patterns in this collection are based on a simple hat and scarf shape. The magic happens when the included appliqué pattern pieces are added to transform the animal characters. Once you’ve mastered the hat and scarf construction, there’s no limit to the possibilities.

Learn Basic Appliqué Instructions

Lions and tigers and giraffes, oh my! Appliqués will make your sewing project take on character. Even if you’ve never attempted appliqués before, you’ll have immediate sewing success after following our sewing tips. Plus, sewing on fleece is very forgiving—our kind of fabric. The hats and scarves require a yard of fabric or less. Perhaps you can use some of your leftover fleece scraps for the appliqués.

The appliqué pieces and pattern pieces for the hats and scarves are included in the book. You’ll find that with a few tweaks, the hat design can easily change from a giraffe to a lion. 

The dinosaur hat and scarf combo are for ideal for make believe.

Once you know the basics, you’ll be able to fashion all kinds of hat/scarf combos. Make these as gifts or let your young guest designers work alongside you; choosing the colors and pinning the appliqués.

The Sewing With Nancy crew—most of them kids at heart—thought the scarves and hats were made for them. Gregg Happ, our floor director, decided that the giraffe was his buddy.
