First step is,cut 2 hat shapes from your knit fabric.Then cut a rectangle piece
that is 15 1/2 inches wide
and 5 1/2 inches tall.
Make sure that the streches
needs to go right to left.
Step 2
Place your two hat pieces together, with right sides together (matching up your knits if needed) and sew all the way around the sides and top, using a 1/4 inch seam allowance
Step 3
sew a zig zag stitch all the way around or just sew another simple stitch around the sides and top, right next to the first seam. (Knit doesn’t fray so a zig-zag stitch isn’t necessary.)
Step 4
Then, turn your hat right side out and press flat with steam. sew the band piece together and fold in half and press
Step 5
turn the hat inside out (no need to poke the top of the hat back out, since you just ironed it flat) and then line up the raw edges of the folded band to the bottom raw edge of the hat. Pin in place. Just be sure that the hat is INSIDE OUT
Step 6
Then, sew all the way around the bottom edge of the hat with a zig-zag stitch, using a 1/4 inch
Step 7
Next, turn the hat right side out again and steam the newly attached band flat (right where you attached with the zig-zag stitch) and then fold the flap up 1 to 1 1/2 inches and press flat.
Step 8
To secure the band in place, stitch to the hat, at both side seams, just like the hat tutorial above
Step 9
See? Now you seams are hidden under that band. Sneaky!
