    This is the 2nd time I have bought this pattern. I knew how easy it was to sew and the fit is great for little people so I have made 5 this 2nd time around. All parents were happy to receive them and the kids seem to like wearing them. The 2 piece brim requires less fabric than other patterns with 1 one piece brim, which I really appreciate. It is easy to widen the brim if you desire also. Money well spent! Many more to come.

I am proud of my achievements. Plus on Christmas Day everyone will be wearing their hats so they don’t get burnt by our Australian sun ☀️ Thanks for designing such a great hat would recommend your pattern to anyone at any level of sewing

    I have made 2 and started a 3rd. I plan to made many for my grandchildren. I added buttonholes just above the brim (couldn't find any grommets small enough) and added a drawstring to accommodate both sides. Future ones I will sew them in when I attach the brim to the bucket.

    This hat came together quite easily in a reasonable amount of time. The instructions were easy to follow and concise. It turned out so cute! The only suggestion I have is to offer a chin strap or tie for the smaller sizes, as little people don’t always cooperate with keeping hats on their heads. This is a keeper!

    Reviewed by Gretta (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/03/2021
    This is a great pattern and easy to follow. I had trouble at first because I wasn't "easing" the pieces together enough, meaning I should have made more cuts in the seam allowances in order to make the roundness fit better. Once I figured that out, no problems whatsoever. I've made several in the XS, S, and M sizes without issue. They're the cutest hats ever!

      Great kids hat pattern
    Reviewed by Rhea (✓ Verified Buyer) on 02/06/2021
    Great pattern, came out beautifully and true to size. For first time budget hat makers, I’d suggest reading blogs for tips on best method of construction. First time I made this, I followed the pattern exactly, and found it a bit tricky (particularly the hand stitching at the end). The next two hats I made, I changed the construction slightly. I stitched just inside the seam allowance and clipped the seam allowance before sewing the top to the sides of the hat - this make it so much easier to ease the two pieces together. Also, rather than hand stitching, I constructed the inner and outer hats separately, then joined then by the outside of rims - this was so much easier than hand stitching where the rim meets the hat sides. Also, don’t forget to trim seams and press to get a really clean shape!
