Warm and cosy in this cold weather!

Thank you so much for the pattern! My Sarah hat turned out to be very nice and comfy. :-)

Just made a Sarah Hat. I used woven cotton, in dark green with tan polka dots. I love it! I can’t wait to make another in a different color. Thanks for the pattern!

Thank you so much for this!! I have been wanting a pattern like this forever, but haven’t found a good one and I don’t have the guts to make one myself and have it not turn out! You did a beautiful job and I can’t wait to get started… Once I finish the towering stack of projects I have to finish for everyone else! ;-)

I had been looking for one forever too, that’s why I decided to give it a try :-) It’s not too hard luckily!

Thanks for the hat pattern. I have two DGDs who will be my “lab rats” for resizing. At ages 6 & 4, I suspect the pattern may be a tad large. Do you think that reducing the seam allowances for each panel is the way to go? Cordially, Nehmah-who likes your choice of buttons.

Thanks! You’re already on the way :-) My first attempt was too small and would have been a good size for a child. So I would indeed cut off the entire seam allowance of the six panels. The strips shouldn’t be narrower, only shorter I think. And perhaps reducing the pattern piece for the brim? I wouldn’t reduce that too much though, makes it harder to sew. Good luck!

And I’m just thinking: sewing an elastic in the back could be another option. This is exactly what I’m planning to do with the hat in the picture because it’s a little too big for my boyfriends stepsister (12), whose newyear’s present it’s going to be..
