A Handmade Christmas- Week 11 {Ski Hats}

 Well here we are at the last week before Christmas. We are still busily creating - in fact we are taking the week off from school for that purpose.

I thought I would share a very quick gift idea that I made for Ken and then since the first one seemed a bit small I now have a matching one too.

I made fleece hats to wear skiing under our helmets.
 First you cut out a shape like this (for the woman's I made it 11 inches across and 17 inches long, Ken's was 12 inches wide and actually a little shorter.).

Then you sew the seam up the back.
 Next I zig-zagged over the seam to make it flat.

Then I hemmed all the edges. It is done! Very fast and easy.
They aren't all that attractive but they should work.

Have you been making anything I would love to hear your ideas in the comments!

  2. This looks like an easy and great project! I bet they will be really comfortable under the helmets. I finished a crocheted blanket that I have been working on...and off...for 8 years....LOL! I'm going to post it in the next couple days. My family is wishing your family a blessed Christmas!
