Kiss Me Hat

Wear this cute mistletoe patch hat to gain a few extra holiday kisses.

MATERIALS

  • Knitted hat
  • Linen
  • Wool felt
  • Chenille 18 needle
  • Embroidery thread
  • Scissors: fabric and embroidery

1. Transfer the pattern onto the linen fabric.

2. Stitch the pattern following the key for the mistletoe (see Winter Foliage In FLOWERS CATEGORY: Mistletoe).

3. Once the stitching is complete, cut around the finished embroidery leaving a little less than 1in (2.5cm) of fabric all the way around.

4. Now cut a piece of wool felt to match the shape of the embroidered linen, making it just a little larger to allow for a felt ‘border’ all the way around the edge. Place the felt behind the linen.

5. Using a single strand of embroidery thread (DMC Ecru), use back stitch to stitch around the edge of the embroidered piece, making sure to sew through both the linen and the felt so that the fabric layers are attached to each other.

6. Position the finished appliqué onto the front of the knitted hat and use six strands of DMC Ecru and a neat whip stitch to stitch it into place, all the way along the edge of the wool felt.

THE CLOSER THE WEAVE OF THE HAT, THE EASIER IT IS TO ATTACH THE APPLIQUÉ.

To complete the satin stitch, fill in the designated space with straight stitches (see Straight Stitch in STITCH GLOSSARY), making sure to stitch them next to each other (1, 2, 3). 2 . To keep the stitches consistent, alternate sides starting with the second straight stitch.
