This versatile unisex hat pattern, available in 10 sizes, brings together the charm of the classic bucket hat with the sophistication of a fedora.
Inspired by the success of our Brooks bucket hat pattern, this chimaera design exudes a mysteriously dark vibe reminiscent of 30s-40s gangster chic. Ideal for scrap busting, this quick and satisfying sewing project is perfect for gift making.
Fabric Recommendation: use fabrics that hold shape and apply fusible interfacing for added structure. From quilted jacket fabric, tweed, boucle, and boiled wool for winter, to cotton, linen, and satin for summer, the possibilities are vast.

Measurements and Seam Allowances: The pattern includes a standard 1cm (3/8") seam allowance unless specified otherwise.
Materials and Tools Needed: Encouraging the use of scraps, the project requires main fabric, fusible interfacing, lining, and standard sewing supplies.
