Our Facebook group is a great place to get help, share your tips and creations! We are a friendly bunch, and we love to help and see what you have made.

Please read the full instructions before getting started.

Wash, dry, and press your fabric before starting your project. A bit of prep now prevents shrinking and means your garment will stay the same size you made it.

Never leave a child or baby unattended or allow to sleep in a garment made from one of our patterns with ties, snaps, buttons, or anything they could remove, choke on, or get caught on. Always use caution if you are unsure. We love our patterns, but we love your bundles of joy more!

Size Range

Newborn – 12yrs, Womens XXS-5XL

Size Chart

This pattern has been designed to fit head circumferences from 13 to 24 inches and hat heights of 9, 12, 15 and 18 inches.  This should fit most babies, children, and adults! But just in case, there’s also instructions for creating a hat for any head circumference and any height.  

To determine your size, measure your head circumference around where you’d like the brim of your hat to sit. Then measure the height of how tall you’d like the hat. Hat height is a personal preference. For a dramatic look, go for the tallest pattern piece. For a more practical height for children or for running around, go for one of the shorter heights. You can mix and match any head circumference with any height.

For example, if your head measures 16 inches in circumference, use the 16 inch diameter pattern pieces. And if you’d like an average height hat, go for the 12 or 15 inch height.

You’ll also find some extra pattern pieces for if you’d like to add a spider, buckle, bat, or cat decoration to your hat.

Hat – You can use nearly any woven fabric for the hat. Do not use a knit fabric as it will stretch.

OPTIONAL Decorations – If you wish to use the extra decorations (spider, buckle, bat & cat), you will need a non-fraying fabric such as felt as they aren’t finished around the edges, you just cut and stick them on. You could also decorate with any other fabric, tulle, mesh, ribbon or trim. Whatever your imagination can come up with! 

Fabric Requirements 45 inches/115 cm wide (in YARDS)    

Settings

The pattern is a separate download. Choose either the US letter paper, A4 paper, or A0 paper size based on the printer you wish to use. If you are in the US or Canada then your printer will likely use US letter paper. Other regions normally use A4 paper. Some people prefer to print their patterns at a print shop: A0 is best in this case.

Print at 100%

On the second page, you will find a 1-inch and a 3-inch square test box. Print this page first, on its own, and measure these squares.

Once you are happy that the test box is accurate, print the rest of the pattern pages.

Please follow this video for information and assistance on assembling this pattern.

Also, please note that some Rebecca Page patterns and projects also come with cut files and a printable design page which you can use to plan your project if you wish. These are provided in a separate section below to avoid any confusion!

Cut each of the pieces according to the directions on the pattern piece. Seam allowances are all included so just cut them as is.

If you wish to measure your own hat to fit, skip to the first section to create your own measurements and custom sized hat pieces. 

Cutting Checklist: 

• Brim – Fabric cut 2, Interfacing cut 1 
• Cone – Fabric cut 1, Interfacing cut 1 
• OPTIONAL Decorations – Cut out as many or as few decorative pieces as you’d like. 

½ inch seam allowance included – Top stitching ⅛ inch

Creating your Own Pattern – 

1. Measure your head circumference.
2. Determine your preferred hat height and add 1 ½ inches.  
3. Tape together 4-6 pieces of paper.  Near one edge, mark a point and measure the number from step 2 down, repeatedly, creating an arch that is the length from step 1.  Along one edge of the Cone, measure out ½ inch and draw a line, connecting it to the starting point and arch.  Along the other edge, measure 1 ½ inches and connect it as well.  This is your final Cone pattern.  
4. Determine the radius of your inner Brim piece by dividing your number from step 1 by 6.28 and rounding up to the nearest ¼ inch. 
5. On the corner of a piece of paper, draw another arch, measuring from the corner the rounded radius from step 4.  Draw a full quarter circle.  
6. Determine how wide you’d like Brim, usually 4-5 inches for a witch and 2-3 inches for a wizard.  Add 1 inch for seam allowance.  Measure this distance from your rounded radius arch and draw another quarter circle.  This is your final Brim piece.  When you cut this piece out, fold your fabric both horizontally and vertically.
   

Preparation – 

1. INTERFACING – Apply interfacing to the wrong size of one Brim piece and Cone piece.  

Sewing – 

1. BRIM – Sew Brim pieces right sides together.  Clip ¼ inch snips every ½ inch on inner circle and trim seam allowance of outer circle.  Also snip the arch of the Cone piece.  Turn Brim right sides out and press.  
2. CONE – Right sides together, sew the straight side of the Cone.  Clip tip and trim seam allowance.  Turn right sides out, pressing tip out fully.  
3. ATTACHING THE BRIM – Quarter the inside circle of the Brim and the bottom circle of the Cone.  Align and pin these together.  Sew this seam.  OPTIONAL: Topstitch this seam up.  Reshape hate and enjoy!!
4. OPTIONAL DECORATIONS – RIBBON – sew, glue, or tie a ribbon at the base of the Cone.  If desired, use the optional buckle included in the pattern.  SILHOUETTES – cut out your silhouette from felt or a non-fraying fabric.  Glue or topstitch onto the Cone or Brim. TULLE, MESH OR NETTING – add one of these around your Cone or Brim either before or after sewing with glue, topstitching, or tying.
