The free PDF pattern that I used in this tutorial is the “Flop Hat” pattern by DRCOS. If don't have access to a printer and wish to draft your own pattern (for any age and size), you can follow my drafting instructions on the blog. This blog post also explains how to measure your head to determine your hat circumference, so do check that out even if you are using the free printable PDF hat pattern on DRCOS's site!

As I mentioned in this video, my next hat sewing project is a retro 60's inspired version and I will be showing you how I drafted this petal hat pattern, modified the pattern, and put the pieces together to create the 60's inspired hat.
