How to Make a Pinocchio Hat
Introduction
Pinocchio is always a favorite character for children. The unique dress and especially the hat make the kids astonished. And sometimes, you kid also may want to dress like Pinocchio. You can easily find the dress, but you have to make the hat yourself. This can be an easy DIY process for you. Today we are going to discuss the exacting process that will help you make a Pinocchio hat. At first, it will need some essential elements.
Summary: All you need are some basic supplies and some patience. First, gather your materials. You will need a large ball of yarn, a size H crochet hook, and some stuffing. Next, start by crocheting the hat in a round shape. Make sure to space the stitches evenly apart so that the finished hat will be even. Once you have completed the round, continue crocheting in the same pattern until the hat is the desired size. Now it’s time to stuff the hat. Start by stuffing the middle of the hat with some stuffing. Then continue stuffing the sides of the hat until it is full. Finally, add some more stuffing to the top of the hat. Finally, attach the ends of the yarn to the top of the hat.
Processes on How to Make a Pinocchio Hat:
Process One:
Gather all of your materials. This includes a piece of cardboard, hot glue gun and sticks, a paper napkin (or any fabric), scissors, razor blade or utility knife, masking tape. You will also need paint pens in various colors to decorate the hat with numbers and lettering on top for school identification purposes.
The most important step is to find an image that represents what you want to use as a template for your Pinocchio Hat shape! It can be found anywhere from online searches or Pinterest boards. The point is to analyze it thoroughly before cutting out the pattern because this will ultimately determine how much material you’ll need to cut out for each part of the project to make sure there are no mistakes.
The next step is to cut the shape of Pinocchio’s hat out of cardboard. Make sure it’s as precise as possible so your Pinocchio Hat will turn out correctly! Once you have a template shaped just how you want, then proceed with cutting all of your materials.
This includes a piece of cardboard, hot glue gun and sticks, a paper napkin (or any fabric), scissors, razor blade or utility knife, masking tape. You will also need paint pens in various colors to decorate the hat with numbers and lettering on top for school identification purposes. Cut the cardboard into a square that is approximately 10 inches by 10 inches. Fold the sides of the cardboard up to form a three-dimensional triangle shape. To make the hat sturdy, you may need to glue the sides together, but this isn’t required.
To make this project, you will need to cut the foam into small pieces, and then glue them together using Hot Glue Gun Sticks. It is important to measure the size of each piece of foam, and to make sure you have enough glue sticks.
Once every piece has been glued in place, take a break for an hour or so before moving on with painting the hat. This way, paint won’t drip down onto your newly crafted project because it will still be wet from being applied previously. Once dry, you can add any other embellishments and final touches you’d like.
After waiting patiently for everything to dry up nicely, start coloring! You can either free-hand draw what you want (which takes practice) or use templates such as grading charts widely available online that include numbers and letters.

This part of the tutorial shows you how to make the hat band and add the eyes.
These include cardboard. The size of the cardboard is dependent on the size of your kid’s head. But for the convenience of our readers, we are going to suggest a cardboard sheet of thirty centimeters in length and fifty centimeters in breadth. This will be the most suitable. You will also need double-sided tape, a pair of scissors, and a stapler.
It is better to take yellow colored cardboard because it will be similar to the hat. Then you have to start folding the paper. You first have to fold it in halves; then, you have to take on the paper’s side and fold two triangles. These two triangles will be equilateral. Now you will have some residual paper in the lower portion of the triangle. You have to fold them on both sides. After folding, it will look like a sailboat.
Process Two
Then you have to take the scissor and cut the front end of the two folds. It will allow you to connect the edges at one point. Now you have to use a stapler and attach them. After this, you have to go for the other end and tuck one edge into the other; then, you have to use a double-sided tape to connect them. Now your hat is almost ready.
You have to decorate it by adding a blue color ribbon around the hat, and then you have to add a feather. Thus you can make a Pinocchio hat.

A Pinocchio hat is Italian-style wool felt or beaver fur cap with long floppy earflaps. It’s typically worn during cold weather to protect the ears and neck from frostbite, particularly in children.
However, it can also be used as part of a costume (e.g., military personnel). The name derives from its similarity to the character ‘Pinocchio’ created by Carlo Lorenzini (itself derived from Pinocchio), made out of wood and had no nose, which became extremely obvious when wearing a hat that didn’t cover his face fully.
