Classic Flat Cap, Deluxe Version featuring 12 Head Sizes, for men or unisex sewing pattern and instructions, digital format

Jauntiy, soft and comfortable, classic design by Tori Capes, Certified Milliner, is made using new stiffer stabilizers or craft foam rather than plastic in the visor. Visor can be held to the top of the hat with a snap or a stitch or a safety pin! 

Digital Sewing pattern and full how to sew it color booklet that refers back to the matching full tutorial video on our YouTube Channel Mad Cap Hats. We advise you watch the video  first as we go through the fabric choices, visor choices, how to attach the snaps and basically all the steps.  See the full video here.  Note - the video was made using the original Four size pattern but the technique is the same for both patterns and every size. 

The original Flat Cap pattern features 4 head sizes in 1 inch increments featuring 21.5" (small), 22.5" (medium), 23.5" (large) and 24.5" (extra large).  Link for the original pattern is here.  Due to the popularity of this pattern and the request for larger and smaller sizes we are offering a second version for customers who want more head sizes.

THIS pattern includes TWELVE (12) Child to Adult head sizes.  The sizes are grouped in sets of Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large.  Each Set contains 3 sizes and requires 20 pages to print.  Pieces are spaced out well within those 20 pages so there is minimal confusion with lines crossing over between the three sizes on each set.  Sizes are in half inch increments and there is also instructions about measuring head size/circumference.  Each pattern piece is marked with the size for easy reference after the pieces are cut.

Small Set contains the pieces for head sizes 20.5" (52 cm), 21" (53.5 cm), and 21.5" (55 cm).  The small set is good for fitting kids ages toddler to preteen and small adults.  The Medium Set contains the pattern pieces for head sizes 22" (56 cm), 22.5" (57 cm) and 23" (58.5 cm). The Large Set contains the pieces for head sizes 23.5" (60 cm), 24" (61 cm) and 24.5" (62.5 cm).  The Extra Large Set contains the pieces for head sizes 25" (63.5 cm), 25.5" (65 cm) and 26" (66 cm).

The instructional video on YouTube demonstrates how to make size Large which is 23.5 inches (60 cm) or an average men's head size.  In one of the listing photos, the 23.5" (in the large set) and 22.5" (in the medium set) are being modelled.

We recommend you read the "READ This First" file before printing any of the pattern pieces.  The most common mistake is in printer settings so it is important to change the page setting for printing to "Actual" or Custom and then choose 100% to print the correct sized pieces.  There is a 5 inch and a 10cm long line on the first page of each pattern set so print that page first and measure to make sure that the settings are correct. 

Pattern sets are color coded for each size so you can refer back to your device if you are not sure but this pattern is pretty easy to follow in color or black and white.  Tip - save the Read This First File and the 14 page Instruction Booklet to your device and refer back to it rather than printing if you wish to save ink and paper. 

Pieces have a small shadow in their respective size color that will add 1/8 inch to the seam allowance if you need 1/2 inch for seam allowance or add a bit to the size. 

Seam allowance of 3/8 inch or 1 cm is built into the solid outline of each piece. 

Please email us (madcaphats@gmail.com) if you require projector files and we can send them when they are ready.
