I found this book of hat patterns in Maruzen and they seem pretty easy for someone who never sewed a hat before. The pattern that I chose was very geometric, with only a piece with all six sides attached to the center. It turned out to be pretty easy to make, so I decided to make some more.
Since the pattern is in geometric shapes, I made new patterns for my husband’s and Sidra’s hats using CorelDraw!. My husband wants his hat to be wider and shorter, and Sidra naturally needs a smaller one. Sidra also requested an elastic to be attached to his hat, just like his school hat.
After they are done -not so bad results if I might say- I realize that it might seem a bit ridiculous to be seen wearing three identical hats together. Just more reason to make new hats!
I love your blog – I especially loved the square hat and the cap you made in what looks like linen – trying to figure out how to make them – Diagrams not helpful – (need words) – Novice who would like more info – tutorial?
For those hats, I used pattern from the Japanese pattern book that I mentioned in the post. You can buy the book to see how to make them. Thank you!
I love to make hats,this pattern seem really easy, but I can’t get closer look of the pattern to get the idea, I need to make one for my 4 years old son…is there a way? The white and blue seem to be different in shape, is it?
