Hex Hats

Step 2 Prepare the pattern

Download and print out the pattern for either the orange hat or the brown hat. The patterns are each marked with inches to show how big they are supposed to be. You may have to play with a copier to get the exact right size.

The images could be improved, and maybe once I get better at using the GIMP I'll upload better ones but these will work fine if you enlarge them to the sizes marked.

A million THANKS for posting this. I had a book from grade/high school (1970's) that is long since gone explaining how to do this. I made a few hats and remembered some of it but you filled in all the empty spots. I sure do appreciate it. My little GRANDSON is going to have some awesome hats now.

I like it, a millinery group. Maybe some instructables on woven straw hats, maybe felted ones, maybe some based on hat forms... witch hats, toques, pillboxes... I anticipate comments like, "WAIT wats' is milllienrey N-E-way??"
