These brimless hats are great for fashioning up in zoom meetings, or to simply hide messy hair.
Great for indoors or out when the sun’s not out; they’re made to be loose-fitting and super comfy.
Beret Hat Pattern
The gathers on this beret style hat makes it stylish. When worn deep, it looks like a cute occupational hat (like a baker’s hat, mini chef’s hat, scrub hat).
The navy one is made of poplin and it slouches a little when worn. The blue fireworks one was made from an airy but stiff cotton fabric so it sits taller when worn.
If you want a more slouchy beret hat, make it with soft or heavy fabric.
To adjust the size, make the brim rectangle width your desired circumference + 2cm.

Brimless Cap Pattern
A stylish cap with made of six panels. It’s a brimless version of my favourite hat.
I made these without lining for summer. The navy one was made from cotton poplin which gave it more drape. The purple one was made from an airy but stiff material (Daiso’s tenugui), giving less floppiness.
It’ll be really pretty with winter fabric too. To make it with lining, make an extra set of 6 panels with lining fabric.
To make it to your size, make the bottom brim/band rectangle 10cm x desired circumference + 2cm.

Woven Beanie Pattern
This is similar to the brimless cap above, but has a more fitted shell and uses ribbed fabric at the brim for a snug fit.
*The photos are from my prototype; Pattern was adjusted to make less protruded corners.
To make it to your size, make the brim rectangle width your desired circumference + 2cm.
