Robin Hood Cap Directions

We recommend making a newspaper template to ensure your hat is the right size. You will need a sheet of paper and felt approximately 22” x 12”.

1. Draw the pattern as shown here onto folded paper, placing the 7” measurement on the fold.
2. Cut the pattern out.
3. Pin along two of the open sides as shown here then turn inside out.
4. Fold the curved edges up along the dotted line to create two flaps.
5. Try your pattern on.
6. If it is too small, draw out the pattern a little large and repeat the process; if it is too big, then cut it down, re-pin and try on again.
7. Once you have the correct patter, pin it to a piece of felt and cut the pattern from felt.
8. Fold the felt in half placing the 7" side of the pattern on the fold.
9. Trace the pattern adding ½” along all edges, except the fold.
10. Stitch the two sides together (just like they were pinned before).
11. Turn the hat inside out, and turn up edges.
12. Tack or pin on a feather to finish off your hat as shown here.
