Substitute patterns

Commercial patterns you can use in place of my pattern Voque V9235 view B.




If you shorten this pattern and add lining it should work too. They urge you to make a hat for donating if you use their pattern. I can't post a picture of the hat since they don't allow it.

This appears to be a 6 part crown, a little more sewing but you get a better fitting hat. Beginner sewing pattern. https://www.anniescatalog.com/detail.html?prod_id=96693&cat_id=1471



For girls pattern You could use McCall's M7012


And just add a headband and flower.

Twist headband

Cut a strip 40 1/2 by 5 inches, making sure it stretches lenghtwise. Sew the short ends right sides together to get a loop. Finish the edges with a rolled hem on serger or leave unfinished (knits do not ravel much).


Fold into a figure 8.


Fold the part that is under over the other.


Straighten out and bring loops together.
