This is a sewing pattern for a classic flat cap (newsboy cap style). Seam allowances are already included, so you can use the pattern as is.
The key points for making this cap are to use a firm interlining for the brim and to finish the seam allowances neatly for a professional look. These steps will help the cap keep its shape and give it a polished appearance.
You can also customize the brim shape or use this as a base pattern to create your own hat designs. Adding eyelets or decorative stitching can make the cap even more stylish and unique.
This pattern is beginner-friendly yet practical, and the finished flat cap is perfect for everyday wear.
After printing, align the pages along the join lines, cut, and use the pattern directly since the seam allowances are already included.
(1) Sew the V-shaped darts on the top, finish the seam allowance, and press it to one side with an iron.
(2) Finish the edges of the top and side, then sew the top and side together.
* If you want to create a rounded shape, press the seam open and topstitch.
(3) Sew the brim pieces together, turn it right side out, and insert brim interfacing inside.
(4) Attach the brim to the side.
* Finish the attachment with a hat belt or bias tape.
