Here’s a free pattern for you guys(just credit me if you use it, also please don’t use it for profit):

And resize the height of the image to the size of your doll’s head circumference. Important: Remember to add 2-3 cm to your doll’s head measurement for wig room!

I used the word flap for rim to prevent confusion because I use the word rim a lot later on.

Now you cut out the required pieces:

Which are:
-2 flaps(the flap image is half of it, so fold the fabric to cut out the flap shape)
-1 hat body(same as flap, fold the fabric then cut)
-1 under strip(this strip tucks in under the hat)
-1 visible strip(this strip is visible on the outside of the hat)

First I’ll teach you how to make the folds that are on the upper rim of the hat’s body. The fold looks like this:

First you locate an edge that looks like this:

Then you fold it like this:

Another view of it:

Then you sew this fold so it will stay in place. Repeat and sew all of the folds on the hat body piece.

You basically sew all the red area. I also sewed the blue dotted line area but it was so loose that I don’t think it really made a big difference, so you may not need to do that part. Feel free to sew that area also though if the hat is too big to connect with the tube later on.
(The image is half of the pattern since you do the same thing to both sides.)

When you are done, you should get something like this:

You’re done with the hat’s body! Yay!

Now we begin working on the flaps. Place the flaps together like this, with the designs on the inside:

Then sew the outer rims and flip it inside out. You should get something like this:

Now you take the two strips and sandwich the flap in the middle like this:

Then you sew the three parts together at the top at the red area:

Now that you are done, you turn this strip into a tube and sew the outside together(design side facing inside, no designs facing outside). The flap of the hat will be on the inside.

Then you put the tube over the hat’s body:

Here’s a photo of that in action. Sew the red area.

Flip the hat inside out! There under strip will be visible but just flip it to be inside the hat. And after that you are done!

The result should look something like this!

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial, feel free to ask for more help here in this article’s comments section! =]

This is my first sewing tutorial and I learned a lot from my mistakes, I may remake this tutorial in the future so that it’ll be more clear. Please point out areas that are confusing or unclear so the remake of this tutorial will be better.
