I want to make hats

[frualeydis]

I really, really want to make little 1940s hats - any suggestions for instructions patterns etc. are very welcome.
Not tha I can make hats right now, I have to finish the last part of my master's test by making a tunic, a surcoat and a new coif for Rickard. In like two weeks. Unfortunately I don't have any wool that I want to use at home.

I bought some material for a fascinator today, btw.

If you do buy the winter pattern, could you let me know? I'm partial to the green hat at the top of the collage and might want to copy the pattern.

Have you seen this blog: http://ungfarbror.blogspot.com/ ?
It's full of hats. Might give you some inspiration.

Thanks...
