Heres the fabric you will need.. 25 cm lining 30 cm fabric 10 cm iron on interfacing 20 cm length of elastic
Measure a triangle 1/6 the circumference of the baby's head 1 1cm ease, by 8 22 . add 1 cm Seam allowance on edges, and a curved allowance of 1.5 at the bottom edge
make a brim for front and back. these are half the circumference of the head each. I have drawn mine on the fold, so what you can see is half the final brim. cut 6 x triangle in fabric cut 6 x triangle in lining
cut 2 x each brim in fabric, and 1 x each brim in interfacing, which is trimmed back. iron on interfacing. Sew and notch brim on the curved edge
sew triangles together, and trim back at the top
sew across top of peak
trim back
Do the same with ling, but leave a gap to turn hat through later press seams open.
Attach brim to fabric, centre front point of hat to CF point of brim, and Centre back point of hat to CB of brim
...
sew around, seams facing with 5mm seam
Ta Da
attach lining to hat by matching seams and sewing again around the edge, this time at a 1.5 seam allowance
Sew a channel slightly wider than the width of your elastic, and tread the elastic through by using a saftey pin
Try on baby. make sure it is firm, but not too tight. sew elastic down by sewing through all layers along the seam line.
Inside..sew up the gap, and your good to go..
CUTE! you can also sew the peak down with a big button if you prefer..
and then it looks like this..
