Pattern Making Materials
To make this pattern you will need:
Felt or fleece
Ruler or Tape Measure
Marker
Scissors
Circle Skirt Calculator (available online)
Hat Sizes
I have divided the hats into Small, Medium and Large
Small - child size hat (approx 12" across - unsewn)
Medium - teen size hat (approx 14" across - unsewn)
Large - adult size hat (approx 16" across - unsewn)
Making Circles
These hats are basically 3 circles.

3 Circles |
Circle with a hole = head band
Small circle = the bill of the hat
Use your ruler or tape measure to begin marking a circle on the fabric. For a 16" circle mark a spot at the tip of the tape measure, the center point (at 8") and the end point (at 16").

Waist size = head size |
When asked for the waist size, enter your head size. My head is 20". Because the fabric is stretchy, I entered 19 inches.
