DIY 5 Minute Beanie From Tshirt.

Spring in Colorado can go from 80 to 40 degrees in the drop of a hat…and vice versa. Babies need hats because they have little to no hair. I was browsing pinterest for a simple hat pattern, but most seemed over complicated. It's just a simple beanie after all. If you're like me with little free time, I prefer simple, to the point projects. I have also been focusing more on practical projects that I can use materials I have around the house like tshirts.
So here is my tshirt to beanie tutorial below…

Start with a simple tshirt, place a beanie, or pattern on the seam edge. Cut around leaving 1/4 inch for seam allowance. Fold in half and cut about an 1 inch long 1/2 inch wide slit creating a triangle pattern in the middle. Then sew those up, right sides together… To create the pom pom, I just cut 6-7 strips in one of the sleeves and wrapped it around a fork…funny I know. Then use another string to tie around creating the pom pom…here is a photo of that process. Place the strings you tied the pom pom with in the center of the hoody, pin, and sew right sides together. Flip out and you're done. If you want to add a folded edge…follow below.

Cut a strip from the tshirt, which is in the above photo collage. The strip should measure the full width of the shirt and about 6 inches in width. Fold the strip in half with right sides out. Pin at one of the seams and sew along the rim of the hat right sides together. Sew up the folded edge as shown in the photo. Fold up so the seam edge is about 1/2 way in between the new folded rim. Sew a few stitches forward and back to hold in place.
