My panda hat that I wore to A-KON 21 in Dallas. Baised on Gaia Online's version. When I was there I saw a ton of Panda Hats, but they where all beanies, and it was really really hot. :/ Poor them.

Take your pair of black socks and cut out 3 inches from the toe. These will be the ears.

(You could just glue if you wanted to but sewing makes it look better.) -

(Optional sewing) -
6
Glue/Pin your triangle nose in the center.
(Optional sewing) -
7
Take your two ends of the socks and fold them in so it has a polished look. You could iron, but I didn't need to.Than stuff them with the remainder of the sock, so that it's full. Pin together and on to the hat. Sew along the bottom with a tight stitching.

8
Take your two buttons and glue/pin them where you want them on the black felt.

TA-DA All Done :D
Tips/Extras:
This took me about an hour and a half to sew everything. I pinned it all the night before. I like pins rather than glue, but it's up to you.My buttons are a little floppy, but I didn't want my buttons to have holes in them, but they still look great.
I didn't line the inside with anything, mostly because I didn't have time, but I may do that later if I get the chance.
You could use different colors, material, funny buttons, ect to make it your own.
You could add a little mouth too. I personally would add a mouth like this :3, but again it's up to you.
Enjoy!! <3
