How to Make a Baby Toque

1
Seam the short ends, with a 1/4 inch seam allowance, of the fabric together to form a tube for your baby toque. Trim the seam allowances and finger press the seam open on your fleece baby hat.
-
2
Fold up 1 1/4 inches at the bottom end of the knit baby hat. Turn the cuff under 1/4 inch along the edge and topstitch close to the fold.

Turn the hat inside out and stitch across the top of the hat. Trim the seam allowances neatly.

4
Use a hand sewing needle and thread to bring the two corners together. Stitch snugly.

5
Cut a 3 inch wide strip of fleece or knit fabric approximately 18 inches long. Make 1 1/4 inch deep cuts into the fabric at regular intervals, creating fringe on each side of a 1/2 inch center panel. Roll snugly, then wrap thread around the center of your pom pom. Hand stitch into place on your hat.
