pin the pattern to the shirt, taking care to line up the cutting pattern with any images on the shirt you want visible on the hat; Note: the ~2 1/4 inch lip will not be visible on the outside of the hat. Also, another 2 1/4 inch up from that, there will be a visible fold in the hat. you may not want your image to overlap that area. pin through both layers of the shirt:  you are cutting 2 pieces, with 'right' sides together.

place the pins parallel to the edge, and cut through both layers. you will note that I have cut a bit wider than the pattern here: I will check the size on the head, then cut down even more later if necessary. remember: it's easier to cut away more later than to add more later.

remove the pattern. keep the 2 pieces next to each other, but do not pin them.
