Using a piece of Halloween ribbon place it around the cone. Stitch the brim to the cone Step 6: Add the Ribbon Stitch there two pieces together suing a 1/4″ seam allowance. Place the brim of the with’s hat so that the raw edges match the raw edges of the cone. Stitch the cone Step 5: Stitch on the Brim of the Witch’s Hat Press the seam open and turn the cone right sides out. Stitch together using a 1/4″ seam allowance. Cut the felt Step 4: Stitch the Cone of the Witch’s Hatįirst, fold the cone piece in half. Using the pattern pieces you just created cut out your felt pieces. Then take your measuring tape and measure out your head circumference plus 1/2 inch for seam allowance and draw an arc as wide as the head circumference plus 1/2 inch for seam allowance. From that point draw the slant height in two directions that create about a 1/3 of a cone shape. I use doctor’s office paper for my pattern making. Now that you know what the slant is, draw a line on your paper the length of the slant height. For me the numbers were √ 3.58^2 + 11^2 which resulted in 11.17″ Add them together, and then square root that number. In other words square the head radius and the hat height. To get the measurement use this √ r^2 + h^2 = slant height. For me the measurement is 3.58″īut, the hat is slanted so we need to determine the slant height and not the straight up and down height. Then determine the radius of your head measurement which is simply half of your head diameter. Draw the brim pattern Cut out the brim pattern Step 3: Create the Top of the Witch’s hatĭecide how tall you want your hat. In the center of the brim circle draw a circle the measures your head diameter. I used a large compass but you could use a pencil and string to draw out your brim. On a large piece of paper, draw out a circle with your brim diameter. To do this take your head diameter x pi = head circumference. I wanted a fairly large brim so I made mine 19″.įirst, determine your head diameter. Once you have determined your head circumference you need to decide how wide you want your brim. With the additional 1/2″ my circumference is 22 1/2″. Measure your head around your forehead and add about 1/2 inch.
