This tutorial will show you how to make a top hat with a large brim and a bow.
This tutorial will show you how to make a top hat with a large brim and a bow. You will need a hat block to make this, it could be a foam head mannequin, a wig mannequin, a plastic bowl or glass bowl. It would help you if you can pin needles on it. If you can’t, you will have a bit more texture on it.
This hat is not for beginners, its for intermediate felters. But it is easier than the hat with rolled brim. The main challenge is to handle the large hat and brim flare shape with neat edges, while giving good structure. The tutorial includes the making of the ribbon bow. You can do this hat without a hat block but you will need some tricks and objects to replace the lack off and accept some differences in shape and finish (more ripples). You do this and you are good to do many others intricate shapes of hats. You do not need a special shape of block to do this. Just a basic round top head.
You need about 230 grams of wool to make this hat.
