As you know FLEECE is an insulating fabric and hats made with this fabric give you more warmth than many other fabrics. It is easy to sew with. It dries very quickly even when it gets wet. It does not fray at the edges. The advantages are plenty. In addition to this, hats are very easy to make and even a beginner can start making hats with fleece with the sewing patterns and tutorials given below.
When sewing with fleece sometimes you may be able to continue with the regular sewing machine needle. It will depend on the type of fleece you have. If the regular needle is not working change the needle to one suitable for sewing knit fabric. I have found that sewing with a close zig zag stitch is more suitable for this kind of fabric than the regular straight stitch.
There are many types of fleece available like polar fleece and micro fleece. Choose the best fleece you can afford or is available and go about making hats. Checkout the post on different types of fleece, fleece fabric characteristics and tips on sewing with fleece
