Greek Fishing Hat Pattern Needed

[Ollie Stench]

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm looking for a pattern to make a Greek Fisherman's Hat (also known as a John Lennon hat). I can't seem to find one anywhere and I don't really want to tear apart my wool one to make templates from.

Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ollie,

in this site you can find instructions with sizes, for a hat very similar to the one you want (but no pattern): http://www.northwestjournal.ca/XII3.htm

In this one, there's a lot of hat patterns, see if you can use one of them (it's a russian site, use google to translate it): http://www.crown6.org/publ/6-1-0-5083

Here is a photo tutorial for a similar cap, with instructions but no pattern (is for a child, you'll have to adjust the size): https://mushroomvillagers.wordpress.com/the-eddie-cap-tutorial/

Finally, the pattern you want, but for sale: https://www.etsy.com/listing/244615996/fiddler-fisherman-hat-pdf-sewing-pattern

Hope these are useful to you!!!
