I can only find the paid version. Not sure what I’m missing but I don’t see any option for the free design. Recently stumbled across your channel and love all these hats and patterns. Wanted to try out the free one first.

[@madcaphats]

@@jackierand4045 click on the name of the hat in the larger type on the index...that takes you to the free files

[@jackierand4045]

@@madcaphatsThank you so much for the prompt response. How silly of me, I know it said to click on the larger type but that went right by me - so used to seeing something underlined to click. Your hats are wonderful. I may have to wait until after Christmas to try this but look forward to giving it a try and then getting the child’s pattern. Your price is very reasonable.

I bought the cutest fleece hat from Ruffled Flamingo on Etsy years ago and every time I wear it someone always tells me how much they love it and ask where I got it so I tell them. Well today I tried to find the link and their shop is no longer there! 😩 After searching I long time, I decided I’d just have to start making them so I could give them as gifts. Your video was the first one I found and your hat looks very similar to the one everyone loves! 😃 So, YAY! Thank you SO very much for creating and sharing this video!

[@madcaphats]

So glad you found me!! Thanks for the lovely comment 😊

[@lynetterene]

I like how you serged the edge

[@madcaphats]

Thank you Lyne!

[@moonmagnolia7]

Me too! I wish my sewing machine did that, haha. It’s from ~1979(?) and it only goes straight and zig zag.

[@krisdoor6905]

Having recently moved to Michigan from California, I need winter hats. Yours are adorable and I’ll be making my first one in the coming week.

[@madcaphats]

Hi Kris, my brother lives in Michigan but is wintering in Florida. Nice to have some choices in the USA! We sharing a winter with you now next door in Ontario! I have family in Windsor but I am very close to Ottawa now. Today is a bit brrrrrrr. Thanks so much for the lovely comment, Tori

[@lynetterene]

I completely love the dart....makes so much sense

[@madcaphats]

Rounding the top slightly really works! Cheers, Tori

[@sewingroom8625]

Thank you for this hat lesson, I have not seen any one making a bucket hat like that, I will definitely try your way, thank you.

[@madcaphats]

Let me know if you have any questions once you get started! I am just starting some new winter fashion hat videos and patterns so I will be working with fleece and in the cold weather vibes!! Thanks for watching, Cheers, Tori

Thank you for this lovely comment!! Cheers, Tori

[@melissad7855]

I'm an experienced sewist but I LOVE the magnetic seam guide that I never knew existed until I started watching your videos, so thank you for that!

[@madcaphats]

Thanks Melissa!! I just couldn't work without it anymore. So spoiled by how awesome all of my seams are and how much time this really does save me by not having to rip so many wonky seams out to do again!! Thanks so much for commenting and watching! Happy sewing! Tori

[@melb5533]

I'm definitely going to give this a try. I'm a beginner sewer but I think this would be fun to challenge myself. Have you ever made ones for dogs. I'm thinking of making me and my dog matching hats!!!

[@madcaphats]

Yes I have! I did some doggie hats when I had a storefront but now that I am semi retired I have only made doggie bandanas.

[@ConsidertheLilyoftheField]

Beautiful! This is definitely on my to do list. I’m also excited for the spring versions. Thanks again for sharing. I’m learning so much.

[@madcaphats]

Thank you for making my day start off so nicely Dawn!! I am so happy you are learning so much about hats. We building a nice community of like minded hat loving folks and it is so inspiring for me!! xo Tori

[@madcaphats]

So glad you liked it Caprice! Thank you so much for this start of the morning for me feedback!! Tori

[@dshe8637]

What an excellent tutorial ❤ My instinct has been to sew on the crown/top before the brim - it seems more intuitive to 'complete' the top of the hat separately. By sewing the band to the brim first, the way you do, there's much more room to manoeuvre and get it lined up exactly. I'm going to make some of these without the lace band, so am wondering what to use instead for a more masculine look? Maybe a casing channel to accommodate some wide elastic??

[@madcaphats]

Take a look as some of the sporty fedoras on the market and go from there. You can make the hat and then add something at the bottom of the band that will fit over top of the bottom the band. The first one is a learning hat so work out your system and then go for it with number two!! Keep us posted! Thanks for watching and the best of luck! Cheers, Tori

[@dshe8637]

@@madcaphats That's very encouraging, thank you. I will do. Good advice about the first one being a learning experience; it's easy to get disheartened if you make a mistake or it's a bit wonky on the first attempt.

[@johannemajor2594]

I love your video and the hat ! Thank you so much!

[@madcaphats]

Thanks so much Sam, thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated. Tori

[@samanthahannon8894]

Can u make this with a quality velvet Spandex instead of fleece, I love Ur hats , there so magical 💖

[@madcaphats]

Thank you Samantha ... I designed it for fleece ... there is one coming up that mixes fabrics. You can try stretchy velvet but I can't be sure about it without seeing and feeling the fabric. The fabric for this hat has body and weight. Thin or lightweight fabric will not be suitable.

[@waymakerv1060]

Playful. ✌✌✌️ Wishing you progress. Thank you for the support.

[@madcaphats]

Thank you! You too!

[@lindarussell1932]

Beautiful

[@madcaphats]

Thank you Linda! Working on a spring version now!

[@djsiminoff]

Can you share the fingerless gloves pattern that you used to make the matching set?

[@madcaphats]

It is this video ... the link for the free pattern is in the description or pinned comment under the glove video .... kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3iVeIqcmt2Ib6M

[@djsiminoff]

thanks! making them for my aunt for christmas!@@madcaphats

[@lynetterene]

Question: might be in instructions but when you placed the hat ban, does the stretch go horizontal?

[@madcaphats]

The band stretch is around the head. The top I usually cut with the stretch going front to back but it doesn't matter with the top how you lay it out.
