Directions:
Step 1
Download, then print the pattern, and cut the pieces out. Trace the cone pattern on the fabric, then cut it out, and fold the fabric in half right sides facing and straight edges matching. Pin the edges together in place and set them aside. Next, cut out the brim pattern, then fold the brim in half, cut out a small piece of a circle in the center, and open the fabric.

Step 2
Now, get the cone piece, then sew along their edges together with a ¼-inch seam allowance, and notch the tip of the cone. Turn it right side out, then poke the pointed corner nicely, and pin the bottom of the cone to the inner circle of the brim with their wrong sides facing. Sew the cone and brim together and you’re done!
