This idea has been floating around in my head for a few weeks now and I have finally been able to get it sewn. My very own fur trimmed winter toque – all with things I had at home (hurray!)

The Furry Winter Toque

I had a random remove-able collar (that I never used) from a maternity sweater that I gave away. I’m sorry to whomever has the sweater without it’s fur collar. The collar has been re-purposed and is in a much happier place. I also had a toque that didn’t really keep my ears warm and some black fleece. Here’s a visual for those who work better that way!

The collar was cut in half lengthwise, sewn right sides together with the black fleece, flipped right side out and attached to the bottom of the hat along the unfinished seam. I measured first to make sure the fur was the right length to fit around my head because is not stretchy.

I like how the hat is a bit slouchy at the back, and how the fleece lands right on my ears – super warm! Oh, and it’s uncanny how well the fur collar matches my winter jacket eh? Coincidence?! Hope you are keeping warm if it is winter where you are.
