This is a sewing pattern and instructions for a simple flat cap (hunting cap).

The key points are to use firm interfacing for the brim and to finish the seam allowances neatly for a clean look.

You can freely adjust the brim design or use this as a base pattern for your own variations.

After printing, align and paste the pages along the matching lines, then cut along the outline. Seam allowances are already included, so you can start sewing right away.
