Operation

Hat Base

2. Create A Circular Piece with a 4inch radius – taken from the 'Hat Opening Radius' measurement. Write down the Perimeter (25.13) and click Cancel

3. Create A Sector Piece. In the angle enter 330, as the required pattern should not be closed
3. Create A Sector Piece. In the angle enter 330, as the required pattern should not be closed
4. In the internal length, enter the Circles perimeter - the Internal Radius will update automatically

7. Add seam in order to check that the opening of the hat is proper. If the opening should be reduced then recreate the Sector piece, with a higher angle (e.g. 340)
