daveydude Report post Posted November 30, 2012 I'm looking for a pattern for a wide brimmed puritan style hat. I've tried Google but all I come up with are unsuitable kids papercraft instructions. Searching on this forum has also been fruitless. The brim won't be a problem, but I want to make sure I get the side band right. I'm assuming it will need a slight curve to give the correct tapered appearance. I'm looking to create something along the lines of this... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haroldson Report post Posted December 3, 2012 http://www.neheleniapatterns.com/english/englishsite.html http://lynnmcmasters.com/ They may have what you want. Looks like the hat is an exagerated version of the arched brim Elizibethan hat with a flatter, wider brim. Did they really wear those? Seems pretty extreme for such frugal plain people.
