I’m glad I ordered extra fabric, because my first go ’round, I cut the head hole the size I THOUGHT would be appropriate… and it was wayyyyyyy too big. I needed to cut a hole for the head, but I wanted to be really careful not to make it too big… because that can’t be fixed! You can always make a hole bigger later, but smaller? Not so much! Cut around the edges so you have two identical-sized circles. Lay out your solid color ‘linen’ fabric (after ironing if necessary), and lay the fleece circle on top. Open that sucker up and you’ve got a near-perfect circle! If it’s not a perfect circle, it’s ok. You could use anything though! You could even use two layers of fleece to make it warmer, and tie the ends like those ‘fleece knot blankets’ to make a no-sew version! Since my toddler wears a lot of bright colors, I wanted the majority of the carseat poncho to be a neutral color, and then accent that with a fun colorful fleece print as the border and hood! I decided to go with a solid neutral linen fabric in ‘Mushroom’, with a fun/colorful fleecefor the cozy liner and accent colors. Heck you could make one for yourself if you feel so inclined. You can easily adjust the dimensions slightly to fit a baby or bigger kid by measuring from their neck to wrist and modifying accordingly. This fleece car seat poncho tutorial will work for sizes 12m to 3T.
