My brother has a pretty rad collection of hats. On memorial day he was wearing a sweet handmade floppy-billed cycling cap that I absolutely fell in love with. I’m not a hat person so this is a big deal for me. Turns out, my brother was looking for some more hats just like this (because the lady who made them, stopped) and was wondering if maybe I could replicate it for him. Gladly I obliged, because this also meant that I’d have to make a couple for myself and I’d have a pattern to make as many hats as I wanted.
I gladly took the hat off his hands & started working on a pattern. I’ve since made 5 hats and have the pattern pieces for 7 more. I might be a tad obsessed. It helps that they’re easy to make.
Yesterday we had a picnic in the park with Jake, Polly & Ove & we all wore our new hipster caps. It’s a pity I only had my camera phone to document the occasion, but at least it was documented.
very cute! my hubby is an avid cyclist so we have several of these floating around… I like to wear them on occasion too!
I love a short-billed cap. Would you happen to be putting one up for a freebie?
Great job Melissa!
Oh, I love these hats! I would totally buy one of these. They look great!
I would be interested in the pattern you used- will it be for sale?
I agree….any chance you’ll share the pattern?
[…] Father’s Day I made him a black bicycle hat. I have a few childhood memories seeing my dad wear hats like that, so I thought he might like one. […]
