Binky is a close-fitting lined hat. It has a rounded crown with decorative ears, as well as a wide cuff and ears with ties.
Approximate sewing time — 0.5 days (4 hours).
To sew this hat, choose knit fabrics with the following properties:
- medium weight, soft, breathable, stretchy
- the fiber content can include natural fibers (cotton), artificial fibers (viscose), and blends (cotton + polyester, cotton + elastane, etc.)
- the following fabrics are recommended: rib knits, lightweight French terry
- for the lining, we recommend knit fabrics: jersey knits, interlock knits

IMPORTANT! When purchasing fabric, please account for shrinkage and buy 5% more than required.
3. Matching thread — 4 spools (1 spool for the sewing machine + 3 spools for the overlocker)
- sewing machine for construction
- overlocker for construction and finishing raw edges. It can be replaced with a stretch overlock stitch or a zigzag stitch on the sewing machine (overlock or zigzag stitch width 2–3 mm, stitch length 2.5 mm)
- loop turner
Important! We recommend using specialty needles when working with knit fabrics (for example, STRETCH, SUPER STRETCH, JERSEY, etc.). When sewing, a ball-shaped needle point pushes the knit loops apart without piercing the threads.
