This newsboy hat pattern by Leila and Ben has been skulking around in my stash for too long. Since my over-locker (serger) just stopped working and everthing but completely lined clothes is out of the question, it was the perfect project. Small and managable for this zombie mum.
The pattern comes in size 6-12 months and 2t-5t. However, Archie’s three year old head is big and this is fine in the circumference but a bit shallow. I am wondering whether if I add a centimetre to the bottom of the pattern if this will solve the problem of monsieur big-brain?
It took about 5 minutes to cut the fabric inc. lining and about 20 minutes to sew. The kawaii hedehog fabric is a cotton / linen blend, the denim is an old pair of dad’s jeans and both are lined with a plaid shirt.
