This free sewing pattern is for a classic deerstalker hat, also known as the Sherlock Holmes hat. It features brims at both the front and back, along with ear flaps on each side that can be tied up or worn down for extra warmth.
The deerstalker hat is famous as the iconic headwear of Sherlock Holmes, making it a perfect choice for cosplay, costume events, or themed photo shoots. It can also be worn as a unique and stylish outdoor accessory.
The pattern includes seam allowances, so you can cut and sew immediately after printing. Simply align and tape the printed pages together along the guide marks, then cut out the pieces.
This design is suitable for confident beginners and intermediate sewists who want to try making a structured hat. You can customize it with decorative stitching, lining, or even add functional eyelets for a personal touch.
* If the fabric is thin, apply fusible interfacing to the lining.
* After topstitching, trim off any extra seam allowance.
(1) Sew two top pieces together, press the seam allowance open, and topstitch.
(2) Sew another top piece to the part from (1), press the seam allowance open, and topstitch.
(3) Repeat steps (1) and (2) with the remaining three top pieces to make a half-circle part.
(4) Sew the two half-circle parts together, press the seam allowance open, and topstitch.
(5) Sew the side edges of the inner band into a loop, press it into a bias shape with an iron, and topstitch along the fold line.
(6) Sew the brim pieces together, insert brim interfacing, and secure it with topstitching.
(7) Sandwich the strings into the earflaps, sew them together, turn them right side out, and press into shape with an iron.
* When turning right side out, trim off any bulky seam allowance, and settle the edges with topstitching.
(8) After basting the brim and earflaps to the top, sandwich them with the inner band and sew to secure.
