Baby Beanie tutorial from OTTOBRE design® 4/2015

HOW TO SEW A CUTE JERSEY BEANIE FOR BABY

This is a great way to use up pieces of jersey left-over from other projects. You can make the beanie from one single fabric or mix and match like we have. 

You can download the pdf-pattern for this project here.
Lovely organic cotton jerseys are from Lillestoff's collection and you find many of them on our Easy shop. 

Have fun !
 MATERIALS 
You will need: 
40...45 cm printed cotton single jersey and sewing thread.


CUTTING

Layout the pattern piece on a double layer of jersey, observing the markings for grainlines and foldlines. Cut beanie panels from printed jersey adding 7 mm seam allowances. 

SEWING 



Construction techniques: 
Stitch seams with straight stretch stitch on regular sewing machine or with serger.
Stitch darts at both crown ends of beanie panel. 
Pin beanie panels right sides together and stitch them together, 
leaving small opening for turning on one side as marked on pattern. 

Fold beanie in half along pattern foldline and stitch along side seam allowances for a few centimeters.  Stitch also top edges of beanie panels together along seam allowances.  
Turn beanie right side out through opening. 

Close opening for turning by hand stitching.
You find Pink Drops beanie pattern from issue 4/2015.
Here is how you cut it - place the dotted line on fabric fold.

Follow the tutorial to sew it.

  4. The marks are for the opening, so that you can turn the beanie right side out.

  8. This would be cool in adult sizes. Do you have this pattern in adult sizes or how to convert to adult sizes?
