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.

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.
