Take a neat piece of polar fleece, and cut a rectangular. You have already measured the length. As far as the width is concerned, it must not be more than 18 inches.
With dimensions of one inch by 12 inches, cut a long but thin rectangular. For now, set the smaller rectangular aside until later. -

Now, its time to give the fabric a hat look. For this, you need to bring the width edges together. One thing that you need to ensure here is that the right sides should be facing in. After bringing the edges together, match up the corners and edges.

At this movement, the bottom pinked edge of the tube must be folded up about 1 to 2 inches. It is always better to place the tube on your head to get an idea about the fitting. However, if the person whom you are making it for is not available, you will have to trust your measurements.

The next step is to attach the smaller rectangular that you cut earlier. It must be tied into a tight double knot.
