+Pointy Hat
+==========

+
+ .. contents::
+
+A pointy hat suitable for a witch (in black and other practical colours)
+or a wizard (add sequins and other embellishments to (bad) taste).
+
+Materials
+---------
+
+Fabric
+^^^^^^
+
+* 1 m outer fabric: wool is a good, practical option, pre-embellished
+ fabric is suitable for the more showy variants;
+* 1 m lightweight millinery buckram or heavyweight cotton interfacing;
+* 1 m lining fabric: (relatively) cheap silk is an actually practical
+ option (smooth and warm on the skin and hair), cotton is good enough.
+
+Notions
+^^^^^^^
+
+* Sewing thread to match the fabric;
+* optional: ribbon for the chin ties;
+* optional: petersham ribbon for the sweatband;
+* optional: millinery wire.
+
+Pattern
+-------
+
+Measurements
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You'll need the following measurements:
+
+``head_circ (F01)``
+ largest circumference around the head;
+``head_circ_chin_to_crown``
+ from chin to crown of head back to chin, passing above ears;
+``head_ear_to_ear``
+ from one ear to top of head to the other ear.
+
+The file :download:`hats.vit` is used by default by the pattern file and
+has the needed measurements.
+
+Pattern
+^^^^^^^
+
+Get the valentina file for the pattern, :download:`pointy_hat.val`.
+
+You may want to change the following increments in the Tables of
+Variables; the defaults are sensible.
+
+``ease``
+ the ease added to the hat circumference, to allow for the thickness
+ of the fabric;
+``brim``
+ radius of the brim;
+``cone_angle``
+ flat angle of the cone pattern: this will influence the height of
+ the hat;
+``sewing_allowance``
+ width of the sewing allowance.
+
+
+Instructions
+------------
+
+Cut one cone and two brim pieces from the fabric.
+
+Cut one cone and one brim pieces from the buckram.
+
+Cut one cone piece from the lining fabric.
+
+See the `Variants`_ section for additional parts that may need to be
+cut.
+
+If making `Ear Flaps`_ prepare them before starting on the hat.
