Step 5Adding the Hat Band and Ear Flaps
The next step is attaching the hat band. This is done by making the hat band a circle by seaming together it's ends along it's 1" wide section (right sides together).
Then, using this seam as the center back of your hat, pin it to your dome so that it can be seamed and folded down (image 2).
After pressing, attach the ear flap piece by lining up it's center with your center back seam, pinning, and stitching (Image 3).
These steps should result in the basic hat shape, or your shell (image 1)!
***Repeat steps 4 and 5 with your lining fabric, but alternating patterns is obviously not necessary. It is also important to leave a 4" section of one of the lining dome pieces open for later use.***
