To make my pattern, first I measured my head, it is 20" exactly. To make the pattern for the ear flap, I added 1/2" to my head circumference (for seam allowance) then divided that number by 2.
20.5- 10.25
I drew a line 10.25 on my paper. Then I drew a 2" line down from one end, a 2.5" line down on the other end and a 4.5" line right in the middle.
The side with the 2.5" line is the back, the 2" side is the front and will be on the fold when you cut out your pattern. I hope that this helps you out Toogie
The top of the bottom pc to the bottom of the ear measures finished 6 inches. if you measure around the back ear to ear pic(#2 shows the back part) & then curve half of the measurement from ear to ear down. so say from ear to ear is 5inches then take 2.5 (your pattern pc is on the fold) I hope this is a help to you. I am off for dinner but will check back soon
I started working on my pattern. Tell me if this part is correct or please correct me. Enlarge the photo so you can see my measurements. I don't know if these are correct and I'm not sure where the 4.25 comes in. Also, about what length is your ear flap band? Is the 2 in band, you spoke of, included with the ear flaps here, because in the photo it looks larger than a 2 in band/strip?
the 4.25 is where your ruler is. The rest looks really good. Fleece is pretty forgiving too so it has some stretch.
Thanks for giving us the directions and the attemps to show the pictures of how to do it. It isn't easy to do this so it is very appreciated.
ok I will do my best to put up more photos in the right order
Thanks for the info but the photos do not appear. Maybe it was too many at once. Try loading 3 or so,making sure that loads, then edit and add 3 again until you get them all up.
ok I got the top back but now the bottoms are gone. I either have to shrink the photos or make two instructions?
